[Resolved] GameCenter vs OpenFeint

I apologise if this topic has been recently aired.

In the first version of my game MemoryWorkout, I used OpenFeint for LeaderBoards and Achievements.

I am now looking to develop V2 - but only for the iOS platform.

What is current thinking?
Should I convert solely to GameCenter (which looks like quite a lot of work), or stay with OpenFeint?

Any input gratefully received.

Do you have any analytics’s of you current version of your app of how many users you have vs how many use/skip open feint?

Personally I would go with game centre as it is natively integrated and nicer for the user to use, as it isn’t as intrusive. [import]uid: 62706 topic_id: 32076 reply_id: 127798[/import]

Well you can’t go with OpenFeint anymore, so that’s a moot point.

In my experience, the casual gamer doesn’t know what OpenFeint is and will skip it and could think your app is some type of spam.

Personally I think the best option is to either use Game Center because it is a more well known or you can roll and brand your own using a service like Game Minion or build your own using your own webserver.
