Bethesda豪赌《辐射策略版：新维加斯》

    几个月前，Bethesda宣称要发布一款面向成人的iPhone和iPod触摸游戏。但是这个值得赞美的开发商究竟要搞个什么东西出来，相关的信息却少之又少。
    这家公司自从下定决心要让这款游戏及时地与主机平台角色扮演游戏《辐射：新维加斯》同步发售的时候起，就一直保持着沉默。
   《辐射策略版：新维加斯》将是一款全新的游戏，而不会是2001年策略角色扮演游戏《辐射策略版：钢铁兄弟会》的翻版。《辐射策略版：新维加斯》故事发生的地点是即将发布的主机版《新维加斯》故事地点的西南部。
    考虑到这家公司缺少移动平台游戏的开发经验，这可能是一个勇敢的冒险之举。然而，如果这个iPhone衍生品做得跟主机版本几乎一样好，那我们可得好好玩玩。
    Bethesda觉得在移动平台上，回合制角色扮演作品要优于即时制的，于是他们就做出这个开发辐射策略版的决定。另外，PC游戏受大众欢迎，同时也颇受诟病——线性的结构，一些我们没法修正的bug,诸如此类——采用一种新的分期付款模式看起来似乎是一条可走的新路。
    这款iPhone游戏为《辐射：新维加斯》故事的开头安排了故事，它也许将为这款主机版游戏在秋季的销售加温。更多细节可能在即将来临的6月份E3大展上揭晓。

Bethesda iPhone game still in the works, John Carmack involved

peculation over how game development powerhouse Bethesda will enter the iPhone market has been rife, with the smart money going on some form of handheld spin-off of one of its larger franchises, such as Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

Lately, however, all has been quiet on the Bethesda front,  other than its parent company buying out John Carmack's id Software studio. So it seems these two matters might not be unrelated.

Speaking to Kotaku, Todd Howard said the unnamed iPhone title he originally announced is still in the works, after being delayed while id Software was assimilated. He also suggests that John Carmack now holds sway with Bethesda developments, and given his recent activity on the iPhone, it seems reasonable to assume their game design guru will be taking point on any forthcoming App Store projects.

Exactly what those projects are, Howard refused to say.

"It's one of those things where I wish it would happen sooner," he concludes. "But we're definitely going to do some stuff."
