PORT MORROWIND!

Maybe an Elder Scrolls side game of some sort? Or Fallout?

[BlueTsunami]

Angry Cliff Racers confirmed

[Khezu]

You know what would be cool for an IOS type touch screen? An isometric turn based fallout game.

Too bad they would never do that.

Well, they are looking for people who play their games, so presumably it's something that at least shares their values.

Fallout 1 & 2 would be perfect for iPad.

I really want somebody to try a full on open world RPG on iOS.

However, I'm going to try not to get overly hyped since this may just turn out to be a Mass Effect: Infiltrator type of thing.

That was a lot of clarifying which Bethesda you were talking about. I thought It was the suburb of D.C. at first.

Keynote bingo?

[Gez]

Not sure if Morrowind would work, FPSs on touch screen are generally terrible. Even Minecraft plays badly.

Well, some people use Bethesda to mean ZeniMax, the publisher.

Unless you weren't being sarcastic, in which case I'll update the title to be more clear.

[Emitan]

But what about the PSP game?

*cries*

I thought ZeniMax was the umbrella company, Bethesda Softworks was the publisher, and the developer is Bethesda Game Studios.

iOS could be a good fit for something like an Elder Scrolls Adventures II.

[Totobeni]

Terminator: Future Shock for the new iPad...

[Nirolak]

I thought ZeniMax was the umbrella company, Bethesda Softworks was the publisher, and the developer is Bethesda Game Studios.

ZeniMax is kind of a parallel division that controls finance and law to an extent.

They have some really awful corporate structure.

Hey look, an exclusive preview:



You won't even SEE those bugs coming! As usual.

[Ultimadrago]

Hey look, an exclusive preview:

*Backwards flying grasshopper here*

Bethesda iOS title, hmm...I've got nothing.
The sound of multiple makes me think it'll be a unique IP for some reason. But who knows?

[Christine]

Oh dear god, you're not kidding. It certainly makes for a lot of web sites.

What if I only have a passion for making pretty good games and being part of an OKAY team?

Bioware

[Cels]

confirmed: buggy games soon heading to an apple device near you

[Neuromancer]

I'm guessing they'd be some kind of ES/Fallout tie ins.

[nyong]

iOS gaming has a bright future ahead. I just hope these are original titles rather than remakes or spin-offs.

[SteeloDMZ]

Probably a Pip-Boy app. Or a port of the old Fallouts. I doubt they are creating a real, new game for iOS.

[Valhelm]

I'd bet money that they're porting one of the original Fallouts or perhaps creating an entirely new open-world isometric Fallout RPG for the system. I highly doubt that they'd gamble with a handheld Elder Scrolls game, though. The brand is too valuable now for that sort of experimentation.

Tiny Tenpenny Tower.

[Dicer]

Yeah cause Android doesn't exist dev houses....

Yeah cause Android doesn't exist dev houses....

It's a terrible place for developers. I love the OS, but caved and bought an iPhone because the apps aren't there. :(

[BakedPigeon]

Elder Scrolls Travels?

[Trike]

I hope they make some hilariously effortless games, just to mess with people. But then also get games mixed up as well. Basically, I am saying I would buy Angry Fruit and Bird Ninja.

[Ninja Scooter]

Not sure if Morrowind would work, FPSs on touch screen are generally terrible. Even Minecraft plays badly.

it's not like the Elder Scrolls games are about super fast action. They could probably use the "point where you want to go" type of controls form Epic Citadel and get away with it. If they did decide to port an old game, i would hope they streamline the interface big time though.

[Valhelm]

Elder Scrolls Travels?

Has any Gaffer ever actually played one of these? I've always been quite intrigued by theme.

[Gattsu25]

Elder Scrolls: Arena
Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall
Elder Scrolls: Morrowind


C'mon, Bethesda.
