Apple TV to play games, too?
![]()
engadget.com reports:
Greg Canessa, Xbox Live Arcade executive that recently jumped ship to PopCap, told Wired the following about his new job: “It will be about taking the stable of franchises and games out of PopCap’s studio and adapting, customizing it for different platforms — adding multiplayer, new play modes, HD, customizing the user interface and display for Zune, iPod, Apple TV, Nintendo DS, PSP.” You might think that maybe the Apple TV part was an erroneous slip, but he did mention adding HD support, and none of the other subjects for ports he listed play games in HD — you do the math. What we really want to know, though, is how they plan to get us to game with the impossibly minimal Apple remote bundled with the Apple TV.
If true, this will be very cool. There have always been rumors flying around of Apple getting into the gaming buisness (again). This may be a great way to do it. Being able to download classic games playable in Widescreen-HD would make many happy. But like the article said, how can you game with that Apple remote? Guess they’ll have to release a controller…
