The iPad would be an AMAZING platform for a game like this. The Hunters series has some good turn based combat, but the depth isn't there. Hard to get a lot of depth in for $5 and unfortunately thats what the app store market demands... time wasters not real games, even though the platform is basically perfect for turn based games.

No, it wouldn't be. Like I said there wouldn't be an audience for a game such as Fallout on iPad. Those who think there is are delusional and should do a reality check.

if i had the money to burn on sensless junk then i would care about what goes on and ipad or iphone. since i have no concern about either product i dont really care what gets ported to it but in grand scheme of things im sure, again, having more games available to a wider market could never be a bad thing.. i just dont see the reasoning behing me buying an ipad. mostly because i have no use for one (honestly, dont see the hoopla behing it either) and even if i did, i would not subject myself to apples ridiculous prices..

Of course there would be. Check out toucharcade, lots of iOS gamers there.

Because there's not a market on appstore for an old-school RPG?

It's a pc game not a Mac game.

Even if they kept the visuals as-is, that would be fine to me. I'm surprised they *haven't* either, it's probably b/c interplay still owns rights to the original, that we haven't seen this on the iPad or other devices yet.

The iPad's touchscreens controls would be perfect and I'd love to buy this game. I have it already but for PC-only...I haven't played the originals only b/c I've been short on time and super lazy about booting into the PC partition of my mac.

then again, they released "Max Payne" on the iPad, so there's still hope that somehow fallout and its sequel will make it there someday too.

clearly, you are mistaken.

There is a whole army of people who would likely buy it now that Fallout 3 was so hugely popular.

It may not be the same type of game, but I still think it would be something the new fans would enjoy.

Ok...what we need to do is find out who owns the rights (Interplay?) and send them a mess of e-mail to get them or somebody else to properly port it.

My brother managed to get Red alert 2 working on his ipad, pretty cool. He spent months at it.

If the numbers Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition are decent, maybe whoever owns the rights to Fallout 1 and 2 would decide it's worth doing.

Of course, you could just buy a Windows 7 tablet.
