    Yeah, and Fallout 3 would totally fail on the PSP too. Where's your point?

    Do you not realize there is a specific reason Fallout 3 was designed for those consoles in the first place? They can handle it.

    I was speaking in terms of your history too.
    Okay midian said watered down version of the console game. That could graphic, gameplay, and content wise. You thought he only was talking about graphics. Well the screenshots and vids just showed us that the graphics are possible. So why the hell would he doubt that. Then you talk about how the 3gs has better graphics and hardware than the psp. Well that's great but it doesnt have anything to do with xbox360or ps3, unless you're assuming phones can one day attain the homeconsole's level of advancement. Which I seriously doubt will happen any time soon.

    I'm sure it can, with sacrifices, as has every other console-to-iPhone port. You can quote me on it though, and as an attempt to show I'm not just being an ass for the sake of it, I'd be prepared to apologize to you if the game genuinely holds up to console game standards. It's gonna need a storyline longer than 5 hours though.

    Have you actually played fallout 1 & 2? I dont think apple will approve them unless hevilly censored and then they will suck either way. And if they ever make a fallout 3 on the iphone it will be like doom - reverse engineering. Lets just stick to "simple iphonegames" and leave the good solid computertitles on the computers. The ports just annoys people and make everyone go "hey that is really crappy gfx, not to mention the flawed controls!" etc

    Having Fallout 3 on the iPhone seems absolutely retarded to me. That is not a game that you play for a couple minutes and you turn off. Fallout 3 is an experience that's only suitable to home consoles / PC, and that's undeniable. Just thinking about it on the iPhone makes me laugh.

    I'm glad some people understand where I'm coming from. I'm not just mindlessly hating on the iPhone when I say games like Fallout 3 don't suit the platform, I just think each platform has different pros and cons, and the pros required for massive sprawling RPGs and open-world games are generally the ones provided by more powerful machines such as consoles and PCs.

    This is great news. It'll make me laugh if it's Fallout 3 though.

    I'd actually be happy if it was, Fallout 3 is one of my favourites. I think it'd be watered down as I said before, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be a bad game. If it performs well and has the content I won't be able to resist... the Fallout universe captivates me unlike any other.

    Actually thinking about it, I'd rather it was just an entirely new game rather than a port, which I assume it would be if they chose to go with Fallout.

    did they say it was going to be a port anywhere? They could just make a completely new game for the iphone, they are always better than trying to port a game for bigger consoles down to the iphone

    Exactly, he didn't. All he said was that he thought the Fallout world was so unique it could be brought in some fashion to any device. This does NOT mean they are making a Fallout FPS or even anything related the it.

    I see what your saying but I think you under estimate the power of the iPhone. This thing can run the unreal engine and crysis is being made for it as we speak http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?threadid=39333 A game like fallout 3 would run like a charm.

    Here's what John Carmack told Kotaku:

    I'm guessing that an iPhone Fallout game would be similar to Wolfenstein RPG but hopefully a bit more open-ended, with map travel done in the style of the first two Fallouts.
