iOS 4.1 Launches with Game Center


Just about an hour ago, iOS 4.1 went live and with it comes their latest social gaming application, Game Center. If you've got a device that'll support it, go on and check it out. It's interface is very late-90's-online-casino-esque, but the theory is sound. Now we just have to wait and see how fast the developers update their apps.

There's a button that's setup to help you find Game Center enabled games, but sadly it just opens up a default Safari Game Center explanation page without any actual games listed. Not very helpful at all. I expected it to have some sort of built in app store, or at least push me into a special app store listing, but I guess I was looking for too much.

Within seconds of signing up with Game Center, I received a friend request from "wozniak" who I can only assume is some random user that thought it was clever to steal The Woz's last name. I accepted of course, then reported the user.

Angry Birds, I'm looking at you.

Does anyone else find the art design for the interface really obnoxious?

So... now. What happens to the awesome that is Open Feint and still runs on my device?

Are apps supporting OF going to get nuked?

Cause otherwise I will never Gamecenter.

Openfeint is so so much better. It does everything you could want and works well. Gamecenter is pretty barren for features and the UI is terrible. I hope they let you skin it in the future but I am sure that will never happen.

I think the future of Open Feint will not be good.

What developer will want to implement it instead of the official Apple one and get free advertising on the 'compatible' game list and use a official system?

How about any developer that wants to sell their app to the other 50%+ of total worldwide iDevices which run apps but are not allowed to run Game Center?
