Bethesda unterstützt Wii U, wenn sie leistungsfähig genug ist

Pete Hines vom Entwickler Bethesda (u.a. Fallout: New Vegas & The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) äußerte sich nun gegenüber mcvuk.com zu einer möglichen Unterstützung von Nintendos Wii-Nachfolger Wii U. Laut Hines sei man schon immer der Meinung, dass man hauseigene Spiele so vielen Benutzern wie möglich zugängig machen wolle. Sollten also neue Konsolen den Anforderungen Bethesdas genügen, werde man mit Sicherheit auch über diverse Veröffentlichungen nachdenken.

“Our motto has always been: We want to make our games available to the widest audience possible on whatever platforms that will support the game, [...] So to whatever extent new consoles fit with the kind of games we are making and support them technologically, we would certainly do that. The Wii wasn’t even an option – we would have to make wholesale changes to the games we were making on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC to make them work on Wii.

I honestly know nothing about the tech specs of the new platforms and whether or not they are a good fit for what we are making with say Rage and Skyrim and Prey 2. If they are a good fit for the kind of games we are making then, absolutely, we would look to put them out for those. But beyond that I can’t get into specifics.”
