AFTERPAD

Updated: AVP Evolution

Aliens VS Predator Evolution, the first game ever released with any form of MFi controller support, has just been updated for improved (and fixed) controller support.

When AVP was initially released in September of 2013, it’s release notes included the first known reference of controller support in an iOS game, signaling the first sign of Apple’s acceptance of MFi support in uploaded binaries. This was the first public mention of controller support for iOS since it was initially announced at that year’s WWDC, and a welcome sign that the MFi controller program was still in progress.

Within a few months of AVP’s launch, the first controllers would hit the shelves. Ironically, AVP itself – the game that signified Apple’s continued support of official controllers – would feature incomplete and broken controller support. As such, it is particularly nice to see this update hit.
