Alien Nations is a real-time strategy game in the vein of "The Settlers", which was enthusiastically received by the German speaking public and press. The game is set on an alien planet inhabited by three very distinct races: the Pimmons, the Amazons and the Sajikis and features campaigns consisting of 10 single player missions per race, set against a giant 3D back-drop. Resource-management, diplomacy, research, commerce and battle are key to success. The Amiga version will most likely require a graphics card and will support PPC accelerators through WarpOS although the feasibility of a 68060 version will be examined. Optional 3D acceleration will be supported through Warp3D. Release is expected during Q3 of 2000.

Titan and Hyperion bring "Alien Nations" from Jowood to the Amiga : Comment 17 of 27 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Hans-Joerg Frieden on 09-May-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 13 (Cartman): Before you ask for a game like Unreal Tournament, think one moment about what
the current Amiga hardware is capable of. UT does not belong in this category.
Neither does SWAT3, which already swaps heavily on my K6 with 64 MB.
For UT, you will need at least 128 MB of memory and a graphics board that is much
faster than P5's "workstation class graphics card". You cannot expect up-to-date
games for three-year-old hardware.
Sorry to put it that open, but it just would not work. |
