iPhone shooter N.O.V.A coming to other systems

Recommended Videos

N.O.V.A is one of the big titles people use to demonstrate the iPhone’s potential for gaming, and it’s hardly surprising. Although I’ve only played the Lite version, it works surprisingly well as a touch-screen FPS and it looks pretty damn good, too. Despite being an iPhone poster-boy, however, N.O.V.A may very well be coming to other platforms.

“It’s an idea we want to build cross-platform,” says Gameloft VP Gonzague de Vallois. “So you can expect to see it on new systems in the future.”

I really need to buy the full version of N.O.V.A at some point, although I wonder how well it would do on another system. The main success of the game is the fact that it’s built for the iPhone and it would look fairly derivative if it had a traditional control scheme. If a version came to a home console, for example, it might not be able to stand out if it keeps the same traditional FPS gameplay. Still, best of luck to ’em, whatever route they choose to take.
