Interesting that you say no one has managed to crack first person on a portable platform. Maybe Michael Abrash can bring some of that game changing "Quake" style magic to mobile (although I guess Carmack is a pretty big missing ingredient).
- Splines 15y agoIt's not a technological problem, it's a hardware problem (at least from my non-visionary point of view). Twin thumbsticks are required. Anything else and it's a recipe for frustration. Metroid Hunters on NDS was probably the best I've personally seen, but it's the best of a poor breed. The Vita is the first mainstream handheld with twin thumbsticks, but IMO Sony has an extremely hard uphill battle with their device. Portable gaming is moving away from handheld consoles. I would love to see it happen, but I personally doubt we'll see a Quake-level success on the Vita.
