| Hyperion software will port Soldier of Fortune to Amiga and Mac : Comment 25 of 66 | ANN.lu |

: I simply don't understand why these people keep following the stupid idea of
: porting such 3d intensive games: we already have quake running at 10 fps. We
: will have shogo (probably slower).
HAHAHAH 10FPS, where the hell have you been kid? I was playing QuakePPC on a ZIII PIV running at 49FPS with a screen resolution of 512x384, and I have many witnesses. Let me repeat part of that, the graphics card was on the ZIII bus, not some PCI board that has yet to be released (no offense Elbox, smooches to my Power-Tower). Pump it up to 800x600 and it was only about 32FPS but the point being is that I would love to know what screen mode and what your system is setup like get 10FPS...
Go get CSPPC, then get a CVPPC or PIV with a Voodoo (when it's released but voodoo preferred) and then purchase WipeOut 2097 from Digital-Images. At that point, you will learn to eat your meat before touching the pudding. If you don't want to do that, go buy yourself a dev box, program the schtuff yourself. That's the problem with some of the users these days, they don't know when to report a bug or yell out loud to the world until its fixed (you know, like Micro-Code does with H&P). If you have a problem with the speed, see if you can do any better. I was always told that if you don't like what's been served before you, fix it yourself.
: Do we actually NEED to see how pathetically slow will be soldier of fortune?
: Couldn't these people ask licenses for, say Starcraft or Diablo?
Wine, wine, wine... Your post was almost as funny as some of those done by the ill-famed "unleaded".
In any case, read some of the reports from Messe as well as some of the "Eye-popping" beta-reports done by Activision about HereticII or the reports of Psyognosis when they first saw WipeOut demo'd for them. If you don't have a PPC, don't complain about how slow the software is.
One last thing, Syke does an awesome job on AmigaExtreme.com... Same goes to Phillip to give you an accurate perspective of how well a game handles on different machines. |
