Whether or not this would be a good idea, putting Skyrim on the PSP would be technically impossible.

I'd prefer it if they worked on making the existing game better and releasing expansions rather than work on something that doesn't even provide half the experience you get from their "big brother" (PC and non-handheld consoles).

Morrowind with Morrowind-like graphics hardly runs on the Xbox. The Xbox is much, much more powerful than the PS2 (which is slightly more powerful than the PSP) and Skyrim is far more complex and demanding than Morrowind is (and in several ways that are extremely hard to scale).

Again, what you're asking for is technically impossible.

Bethesda wouldn't be the ones working on it, so it's not really an "either one or the other" situation. If there was going to be a handheld version, Vir2L would almost definitely be the ones doing it.

They were going to make a stripped-down dungeon crawler for the PSP that was going to be somewhat attached to the Oblivion that was released on the PC and consoles. It wasn't going to be the same game as Oblivion proper and wasn't even going to be an open world title. Also, notice that it was never released.

For the third time, you're asking for something that is technically impossible.

Even if it were possible hraphicswise, there are not enough buttons for it to work and it would take up too much space.

No, because Todd says he does not want to make a game that would be better on consoles



The PSP2 however? I think that would work. Considering it has an "HD" screen, Dual anolog, and is "as powerful as a PS3". I think a TES game on PSP2 would be amazing.

Never heard of top down or 3/4 perspective? Just listen the nonsense spewing from your mouth "Again, what you're asking for is technically impossible." - You, know everyone and I mean everyone said 'God of War' wasn't technically possible on the PSP - they did it and then some.. The PSP is a very powerful handheld, the problems with it are 1, piracy has killed it and 2, developers who didn't bother to take advantages of the PSP hardware - most PSP games are a direct port of the inferior Nintendo DS.

Hopefully though, all that changes this year - the rumors are flying that Sony will (officially) announce the PSP2 - which if the press reports are true could put the 360 to shame.

Great time to be a gamer.

Top-down perspective won't make a PS3/360/PC game suddenly capable of running on something as weak as the PSP. Even suggesting that makes no sense. As for the PSP being a very powerful handheld... no, it's not. It was powerful for a handheld gaming platform when it came out. It's now one of the weakest handhelds available, and the only reason it seems powerful at all is because the only gaming-focused product to compare it to is the Nintendo DS. Again, it's slightly weaker than the PS2 so expecting them to port a game like Skyrim to it is ludicrous. They could make a separate game and call it Skyrim the way they'd intended to handle things with Oblivion, but that wouldn't be "Skyrim on PSP" so much as "a game with the same name as Skyrim on PSP".

As for God of War, I don't actually remember anyone saying that it wasn't technically possible on the PSP, mainly because... that makes no sense. God of War is a PS2 game. The PSP is slightly less powerful than the PS2. There's no reason to expect that someone couldn't bring some sort of God of War to the system

EDIT: Oh, and since I didn't touch on this:
Hopefully though, all that changes this year - the rumors are flying that Sony will (officially) announce the PSP2 - which if the press reports are true could put the 360 to shame.

So far, the only reports we have are that Sony's been telling licensees that the PSP2 is as powerful as the PS3 (not likely - Sony said similar things about the PSP and PS2, and the reality is that the PSP is actually somewhat weaker but close enough to provide PS2-ish graphics), and that wouldn't "put the 360 to shame" at all.

What Todd (as an employee of Bethesda Game Studios) says and what Bethesda Softworks (as the owner of the franchise) does are two different things. Todd can say they wouldn't release a watered-down handheld game, but the fact is that they've already done so several times. There is an "Elder Scrolls: Oblivion" on mobile phones, and there was going to be a spin-off of some sort on PSP.

If the PSP2 turns out to actually be as powerful as the PS3 (And Sony is claiming so apparently), then yes, why not.

It wouldn't be good on the PSP or the PSP2 (and this is comming from a PSP user). Why? Let's assume it's technically possible. Here are 3 problems that would still kill the idea:
  • Skyrim, like any TES game, will be one that takes months to play. Imagine playing that on something that can work for only 3h without recharging (mine works that much anyway).
  • Hanhelds are good for games where you can play for under an hour and be satisfied. Otherwise it kills the point of being able to carry it anywhere. Not happening in Skyrim - a typical endevour will be like 2-3h.
  • Including ALL of Skyrim's content would take a dozen seperate UMD's. Picture lugging THAT around. If you store it on your memory stick instead, it'll be a hell expensive one and that's going to be the only game on it - no room for other games or anything else (movies, music or pics).
