TES games on the OUYA?

[Natterforme]

I was wondering what you guys thought about seeing TES games on the OUYA. I know that there is a lot that we dont know about the system in terms of software and whether or not it will flop, but hypothetically, what do you think about seeing Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind on the system? The developers are supposedly going to allow some level of personal modification, which would make it one of the first consoles that you can open up without voiding your warranty. With XBox and Playstation there is so much legal red tape that it would take too long for mods to get approved by the parent companies before they would even be considered if they ever even entertained the idea.

I know that there are issues in terms of hard drive space and capability, so it is entirely possible that Skyrim and Oblivion could not be playable at all on the system but surely Morrowind could at least run at a decent framerate. If we could be allowed to transfer our PC copies of these games to flash drives or portable externals, we could solve the problem of low drive space and we could potentially be able to bring a modded version of Skyrim/Oblivion/Morrowind to the console market. I know that you could always use an HDTV as a monitor for your PC and just play the games that way but for those of us that have an HDTV but do not have a robust computer this could be a workable alternative.

 

In addition, Daggerfall would be a perfect candidate to test this idea, as it is old enough to run smoothly on a console system but is still moddable. Since it is now in the public sphere, I am certain that people will port it to the system and it might even generate new interest in the game. With any luck, more people might help work on DaggerfallXL and other total improvement mods. If we could bring any of these games to a console and mod them that would be a big step in bridging the gap between moddable PC versions games and locked console versions.

 

What you think everyone? I know that there are a bunch of ifs that would have to work out but as a hypothetical scenario, is it possible?
