Hyperion software will port Soldier of Fortune to Amiga and Mac : Comment 19 of 66 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Chris Roccati on 11-Jun-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (Robert Simmonds): | Get bored of reading other people slagging off games companies, and
| decided you wanted a go eh?
You've got some problem? The amiga community rules now forbid
criticism?
| If you dont like it, no-one is forcing you to buy it.
| If Hyperion want to, and can port the game, and rekon they can make
| a reasonable return, then I don't see a problem.
The problem is there won't be reasonable return: the game requires an
hardware (PPC card) that is no longer manufactured, plus leverages on
the availability of not one but TWO not-yet-ready products. At the end
there will be the usual whine and moan about the fact that the amiga
owners are not profitable enough to develop for.
| No-one is forcing you to buy it or even like it, but bad mouthing
| software companies who have done NOTHING (and I say that with
| confidence) wrong, is just a touch pathetic.
And the usual zealot misunderstands. The point is not in the merit or
demerit of the game company and is not company related (or atleast
marginally -- if I had an amiga game company I'd be trying to license
Starcraft, Diablo, Command & Conquer or similar, and not certainly
Quake 3 Arena), but based on the sheer fact that even the high-powered
amigas do have very poor 3d hardware (either permedia or s3 virge)
whereas the game actually needs decent hardware aceleration to be
playable. |
