FarmVille for iPhone this month News • News • Eurogamer.net

News iPhone

Moo money, moo ports.

Zynga has revealed that FarmVille is on its way to iPhone this month.

CEO Mark Pincus popped up during Steve Jobs' iPhone 4 unveiling speech at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference yesterday to make the announcement.

"FarmVille is our most popular game," he said, "and we're excited to bring it to the most popular mobile platform in the world."

FarmVille for iPhone - called Farming, apparently - will allow you to farm anywhere you go and will offer in-app purchases, which sounds dangerous, syncing up with your Facebook farm.

"We now have withering crop push notifications," Pincus joked.

FarmVille is a Facebook game about, well, farming. Pincus said it currently has over 70 million active players.

A great man once said: Imagine there's no FarmVille, It's easy if you try.

But farming is such a natural, productive, healthy occupation! Very much unlike gaming, in fact.

God, who would have thought a year ago that this twat would be up on stage with Steve Jobs during a new iPhone unveiling. I bet he can hardly believe it himself.

Are you sure it was a joke and not a feature announcement?

Interesting that they can't name it FarmVille. Apparently Facebook paid for the IP. Strange though that it appears possible to release what will in all likelihood turn out to be the same game with a slightly different name.

You're making a moo point! -A... "Moo" point? - A moo point, it's like a cow's opinion, it doesn't matter. - Have I been living with him to long or did that just make sense?

Where's that from now, people?

I don't think they called it 'Farming'. They referred to it as Farmville throughout, and there was even a Farmville logo built out of crops in the game.

"I don't think they called it 'Farming'."

Sloppy EG reporting again? Didn't see the keynote myself.

One more twat there and I think we can apply for Apple conferences to get an R18 rating...

@ Les, well, they said "Introducing farming, on the iPhone" and then proceeded to refer to the game as Farmville while making lots of references to being able to get involved in farming, and how cool it was to be able to farm on the iPhone, and let's all go farming, etc, but the game they always called Farmville.

It's an easy mistake to make but personally I think it's going to be called Farmville.

Depends on if they're past reproductive age or not...
