Bethesda, Why no Fallout for the PSP?

Bethesda,
Why no Fallout for the PSP?

And

Will there ever be a Fallout for the PSP?

I hope Bethesda is thinking about doing a Fallout for the PSP because I recently got my first PSP and some games look awesome and if you can play long RPGs like Final Fantasy and Lunar on a PSP without complaining about how long games are then I am sure Bethesda can think of a awesome idea for the PSP. It could lower the mass free roaming a bit and limit what you can see but still I think it can work.

Anyone else who has a PSP think this game will look and work well on a PSP?

I definitely hope not, the game-world would have to be about a mile in diameter and the controls would be horrible.

Considering that Bethesda doesn't even care about pleasing the PS3 market, why would they make something for the PSP?

If it was a Fallout game, it'd have to be 2D turn-based linear story game you could beat in 5hours

Most PSP versions of video games that first appeared on the PC/Xbox/whatever usually aren't anything like the original games... Like Assassin's Creed.

It would take a lot of time, and the PSP isn't exactly suitable for open world environments. That's why the now cancelled Oblivion PSP game was just going to be a dungeon crawler. I think that any PSP Fallout game would just feel like a cheap spin off.

As for designing a Fallout game specifically for the PSP, limiting themselves to the PSP hardware, when they could be working on a new game for the PC/Xbox/PS3 instead, sounds like a waste of time to me.

If they do make a portable FO game it'll be for the XBOX360P

what would be cool is to re-release fallout 1 and 2 for portable or just console gamers in general,
I would love to play tactics in the car(if I'm not driving, ok I'd play while I was driving, ok not really :hehe: )

Not powerful enough. You're crazy if you think PSP or DS could handle a game like Fallout. PS2 couldn't handle Morrowind.

They don't want to waste their time making a game that can only sell on one system when they could make one for PC Xbox and PS.

Until sony fixes the psp piracy issues (which are HUGE), it'll never see another major release like this.

Oh can the console bashing nonsense. If Bethesda really didn't care about PS3, they'd not release a damn thing.

That said, no portable fallout please. Handheld devices excel at short games. Fallout would fail as a short pick me up.

Even if a PSP Fallout would be made, it'd be more likely for 2K to make it instead of Bethesda.

Too much console (err portable bashing going on here).... removed a few posts.

At this time, there's no plans for a PSP title.

I have considered the potential it has - Handhelds excel at short gaming fixes. Fallout excels at the long, in depth, game; Hence, my opinion. Each format has its strengths and weaknesses, and I don't think the PSP's matches with Fallouts.
