Bethesda working on iPhone game News

iPhone News by Oli Welsh

9 February, 2009

Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard has said that the developer is working on an iPhone game.

Howard mentioned the development during a panel at the New York Comic Con. Newsweek journalist N'Gai Croal, who sat on the same panel, broadcast the news via a Twitter update.

Howard oversees Bethesda's work on Fallout and the Elder Scrolls series. It has made mobile spin-offs for Elder Scrolls before, so some kind of Fallout game for iPhone doesn't seem out of the question, especially considering the huge success of Fallout 3.

MTV has more from the panel, including news that BioShock creator Ken Levine's favourite game of last year was King's Bounty, and that Howard is very sorry about the horse armour thing.

My initial enthusiasm for my iTouch for games et al has quickly waned.

I now use mine exclusively for audio and video podcasts. A task which it performs superbly.

No more having to sync with itunes on my computer.

Which is just as well as my Vista OS computer has had a funny turn over the weekend.

I swear to God, I will never buy another Windows PC.

"It has made mobile spin-offs for Elder Scrolls before..."
So, where's Oblivion for the PSP? Thought so.

btw, anyone who thinks their windows computer is okay because they have system restore points should beware.

All of my system restore points are corrupt.

WTF!

I think you are being a little quick with your tech support there. The words "funny turn" and "All of my system restore points are corrupt" tell you barely anything about the state of rhubarbandcustard's PC.

If I had to guess (and anyone's guess is as useless as anyone elses in these cases) I would suggest a hard drive failure is coming rhubarbandcustard's way. But then it would be a guess based on insufficient info, same as your guess.


"most notable of all a scorched car with a nuclear proof gas tank which when shot at blows up"

I wonder how you manage to enjoy any games at all with that sort of approach.

"Butcher pete kart racer coming soon"

Because of the ending to the first Metal Gear Solid, I thought the sequel would be a racing game. =(

I wonder if Microsoft will pay off Bethesda to keep DLC exclusive to the Zune? :p
