W:ET on XBLA?

(ayatollah) #1

Was thinking about this recently and thought it would be a brilliant idea.

Taking BF1943 as case in point you can see how successful a “rebranding” can be. Hell BF1943 was stripped of a lot of its functionality and thrived because of it. Don’t get me wrong, there is something about the BF series that I just don’t get on with, but its success shows there is the demand for great FPS games on the service.

I understand that SD do not have the time to undertake such a project, and if anything were to happen id/ZeniMax would have the ultimate say on the matter. But why not send it off to a reliable developer, who has the time and talent to pull it off. Or even get the community in on it and get it released over Xbox Live Indie Games.

The potential is there for some extra revenue, at little to no cost, something which was never afforded to W:ET in the first place.

So what do you reckon? Would you like to see a W:ET incarnation on XBLA? Would you change anything to fit the platform? Do think it wouldn’t work? Do you think it would be viable for SD/id/ZeniMax to look into it?

at little or no cost ?
it’s an OpenGL game, it would have to be redone in Direct3D, no easy task. It would be easier to release for PS3

Pfft I could do it Nail. Give me the assets and a week. :wink:

In all seriousness, it shouldn’t be that difficult a task in reality. And when I said little to no cost I meant relatively.

Nail you underestimate the power of the Chin! The man who began 2 maps for W:ET and got them about 60% and 20% finished respectively! :wink:
