@Brennen: That was so uncalled for.

On-topic: I actually like this idea, the controls seem fit for it and the iPhone could certainly run on an iPhone if tweaked a bit. Hell, even UE3 runs on the iPhone.

@Roenlond: "Playing on a small screen with touch controls will never be as effective and scary as controlling the game with your keyboard and mouse". That's very independent, I for one can immerse myself in iPhone games with no problems at all and I would gladly play Amnesia or Penumbra on the iPhone if they ever get released to the platform.

Sure, it's independent, but don't you agree that it won't be nearly as good? Your fingers are blocking parts of the screen, the screen itself is smaller than a monitor and the sound is sub-par at best. Of course, you can use an external monitor and a headset on an iPhone as well but then we have the worse graphics which are required to run the game on an iPhone. I know that graphics are very irrelevant when it comes to functionality of a game, but it just wouldn't be as scary if the monsters and environments were all in low-resolution with weird animations and lightning.

I'm not saying that an iPhone port is impossible, just that it's extremely unlikely to happen as of right now.
