At last not long to wait just hope its even more addictive than the first one.

Hope this is good

Wake up with very bad sunburn then see this thread and all the pain goes away !

Cant wait

I just hope that the Android version will get the "full" game - unlike the original with the missing Zen garden etc.

I am really looking forward to this and I am hoping that since the EA buyout of Popcap (and since then a number of the Popcap team have lost their jobs) that it will be as every bit as good as the original and not full of DLC to buy etc...

After pre-ordering SC4 I'll wait for reviews and release etc on this one before ordering.

Oh it will be. They are going to get something in there which means you can buy more suns to unlock plants earlier. If it does have microtransactions like this, it will be Origin only, too.

That would be a horrible nail in the coffin for me. I certainly won't be buying it if it is Origin only. Microtransactions (as long as they aren't required and are as limited as the example you have given) I can live with...just about.

Let's hope that they do a decent job of it and nobody feels the urge to don eye patches and drink bottles of rum.

I have little doubt that left to there own devices they would make an awesome game.

It really depends how much EA decide to mess with it. Origin only? You'd really hope not. DLC/Microtransactions? RIP.

I was really looking forward to reading this thread until I realised ea were involved. Will be nothing more than a cash cow game now.

Great PC & Tablet game. Please don't let us down!

ColdAsIce · 3 Jun 2013 at 15:57

iOS exclusive release for ipad, iphone and ipod touch. Free to play with micro transactions confirmed. Release date July 18th.

Release Trailer:

Huh? So it's not coming out on any other platforms at all initially?

ColdAsIce · 3 Jun 2013 at 15:58

Not initially it seems

ic1male · 3 Jun 2013 at 16:05

The worst thing is that the "vast majority of the game" will be free-to-play but they have obviously kept something back for your real-world microtransactions. EA = grabbing *****.

BuToNz · 3 Jun 2013 at 16:08

What the...No PC release? Foh Fuh Sake EA - I hate you.

Yas786 · 3 Jun 2013 at 16:17

Looking forward to this game, had it on my iphone4 and absolutely loved it...think i must have played it about a million times. When i got my S3 i also loaded it up and played it but realised unlike the iOS version, the zen garden was missing and that was over a yr ago and still hasnt been updated to include it

Ive also got it loaded on my Blackberry Z10 but again similar to the Android version...hopefully this will make its way to the Blackberry Z10 at some point. If not ill just load it up on my mums iphone5 so i can play with it

FrenchTart · 3 Jun 2013 at 16:17

What a slap in the face for the PC gamers that supported the original game so much :/

Dave85 · 3 Jun 2013 at 16:18

Really finding it difficult to contain the rage that EA build in me

Yeah my nan was really looking forward to playing on her laptop. She is a master of PvZ 1. It also means thanks to the microtransactions, it's not going to appear on Steam, either.

The way things are going I strongly suspect I'll be donning an eyepatch and waving the jolly roger if I decide to bother playing this.
