The Game is on With the iPhone
Monday, March 10th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
Game developers have been eager to get on the iPhone platform, according to BusinessWeek on Tuesday. Electronic Arts, Sega, Id Software and Gameloft are all planning games, and Gameloft is planning fifteen iPhone games for 2008.
John Carmack of Id Software believes that Apple’s delivery system for software could be a breakthrough for mobile game publishers. That’s because the other systems are hard to navigate, constrained and cumbersome. Mr. Carmack doesn’t think the other players will be quick on the uptake with Apple’s new business model either. "...it will be interesting to see how quickly the other players can react. Based on our experiences with the carriers, I am betting not very quickly," he said in a post at Slashdot.
While some developers have complained about certain restrictions of the SDK agreement, history shows that those with a a keen eye towards the possibilities of the new Apple SDK system will succeed very well indeed. With the power of the OS X platform and the built-in hardware such as the camera and accelerometer, the sky isn’t even the limit for what can be done with the iPhone and games.
