PSA: NOVA updated with iPhone 4 features

I picked up NOVA (a cool Halo-esque iPhone game) a number of months ago, but they just released their iphone 4 update today.

It not only looks much better thanks to the retina display, but controlling the game with the gyroscope is waaaaay better than before imo. Shows you some of the potential of the gyroscope.

ok, psa over
 
Sounds sweet, I hope the info I saw on the new Touch coming out this year is false. The site said it was basically a 3G with a shitty camera added. I want the Retina display and the gyroscope!
 
Hmm.. I don't care for how the gyroscope is working currently in N.O.V.A. It feels backwards to me. Plus they need to add some sort of calibration to it, as it felt like I was having to play the game at an angle.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't upgrade the screen, unless they're using so many to keep up with the iphone 4 that they don't have enough to make both. Makes sense that it wouldn't have a gyroscope though, as the ipod touch has missed out on a lot of those types of features (no GPS, no compass).

Yea, I really don't know which iPhone 4 features to expect the iPod Touch to get. At first I was like eh, it will be the screen, faster proc, and both cameras, but I don't know if Apple can get all of that in there without raising the price or making it -gasp- thicker.
 
I think the gyroscope will be a shoe in, since they're pushing gaming hard on the iPod Touch.. but I don't honestly know about the dual camera, or retina display.
