| Hyperion software will port Soldier of Fortune to Amiga and Mac : Comment 24 of 66 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Nabs on 12-Jun-2000 22:00 GMT | In case anyone doesn't know about SoF, let me talk about it very briefly.
It looks absolutely stunning, in both graphics and gameplay terms. When I saw it
on the PC, my thinking was "when will it be out for my Playstation?".
But I knew that the PS couldn't handle the graphics, and if a PS version was
made, the graphics would have to be cut-down. That's the kind of game which
forces people to leave the Amiga, and it shows just how green the grass is on
the other side.
I had written that off as the kind of game that Amiga-owners can only dream of,
and was resigned to waiting for the NG Amigas to arrive before we see games of
that quality.
This is absolutely stunning news, and I'd like to say well done to all
at Hyperion. I hope the Amiga port lives up to your other recent games.
To all the naysayers, why can't you be positive for once? Cutting-edge software
dried up on the Amiga many years ago. Now that it is making a comeback you still
complain? What exactly does this "community" want? Old 80s Atari arcade
conversions?
For some reason, we always find some negative angle to complain or argue about.
What will you say when people like Adobe start coming to the Amiga? "Oh no,
why have you released Photoshop? It will be too slow on my A1200..."?
Be happy and enjoy the resurrection.
Nabs. |
