BioWare Intrigued with Possibilty of Games for the iPhone

In a recent chat with MTV’s Multiplayer Blog, BioWare’s co-CEO Greg Zeschuk revealed that the company is considering developing games for the iPhone due to its “cultural and technical success”.

Stating that BioWare has decided to “take a close look” at developing games for it, Zeschuk went on to say:

“We look at every platform that comes along. Obviously, something that’s as big a cultural and technical success as the iPhone is something you really got to take a close look at. Certainly, there’s nothing written in stone yet but we’ve got a lot of folks looking at it.

“It’s intriguing. I think one of the things that we’ll have to see how it shakes out is what type of consumer buys games on it and what type of experience they’re looking for. You want to always mash the consumer experience with what you’re building. We want to understand what people are going to do with it. Who knows. We’re definitely looking at every platform.”

I guess more people play games on their mobile phones than I, personally, would imagine. I just recently became the owner of a new Samsung Instinct, which is suppose to be a competitor to the iPhone and I have yet to download games, because to be honest with you, it has enough on it to keep me occupied without playing games on it. If I plan on sitting in the Doctor’s office or waiting on my car to get the oil changed and just HAVE to play a game, I will just bring along my DS. Otherwise, the MP3′s on my phone or my iPod for that matter will suffice. I just don’t like playing games on a phone, but more power to those that do and I am happy they enjoy them.
