    iPad Retina = 2048 x 1536. Wonder if the PC and Mac versions will offer high resolutions, although the iPad having a small screen means the DPI is high. On PC/Mac, it might not look as good.

    First time hearing the resolution of Apple’s “retina” mode. 52% higher than 1080p (2048×1536=3,145,728, 1920×1080=2,073,600). What makes it silly is that it’s normally on a smaller screen than desktop (or even laptop) computing’s standards. Conceivably they could have kept the textures sizes the same, made the graphics library target resolution match 2048×1536 (changed one line of code), and viewed it on a smaller screen to produce the stated effect.
