Bethesda toying with iPhone Fallout News

iPhone News by Oli Welsh

8 June, 2009

Bethesda's Todd Howard has told Joystiq that the developer thinks Fallout would translate well to iPhone, and has been experimenting with potential designs - but it hasn't found one that works yet.

"I think that the world of Fallout is unique enough that it could work on any platform. I think some of the things we do like VATS, I think that could translate to any platform, particularly the iPhone," Howard said.

"We've looked into those things, we just haven't found the thing that supports the brand well. I wouldn't be surprised if it does happen one day. The iPhone versions that we've designed and said, 'Ehh, we don't think we're going to do that right now', there are ... there are a lot of them."

Howard mentioned that Bethesda was working on a game for Apple's device at New York Comic Con earlier this year. Sounds as though it's Fallout after all, but work is progressing slowly. Here's hoping it strikes on a way to support the brand better soon.

Just port the old games over as they are? Would work for me.

They aren't games from bethesda.

If they are toying with games similar to the ES games made for mobiles, this won't be worth it.

If they have a pile of failed designs then it looks as though they're thinking, "let's make an iPhone game, how could that work?" Not, "this game would work well on the iPhone."

I don't see what's wrong with either approach, though. If they're sitting on a pile of rejected designs, it at least demonstrates that they won't just churn out the first thing they come up with.

Just like they were 'toying' with PSP's Oblivion, I suppose.

A Fallout game could be awesome on iPhone . . just make it turn based. In my option, actiony iPhone games are pretty horrible to play, but turn based strategy (like UniWar for example) works really well.

Oh, and give it decent audio - you're going to be playing with headphones/earbuds after all!

Oh no! As great news as portable Fallout sounds - if I started to play this when out the house as well as when in the house my wife will def divorce me!
