Has anyone played this game? If so, what do you think of it and what spec is your Amiga?
I keep meaning to buy this but put it off and then forget all about it.

I've only played the game for a short while, it was fun enough.
Here's a link to the Payback demo:

I tried the demo version briefly. It ran fairly well on a 640x480 P96 screen (don't remember if I used 8bit or 16bit). Not amazing framerate, but quite playable. I ran it on the machine in my sig.
-
I have it and it runs quite ok on PPC and Warp3D. It's fun then also but I ran it on 68k and without W3D and it ran like crap; then it's no fun...
Try the demo to see if the performnace it any good on your system. If it is then it's a great game!
-
The GP2X version of this game is brilliant too!

I had A3000 w/ CSPPC (ppc 233, 060 66Mhz) and Prometheus w/ Voodoo 3 3000 at the time. The WOS version with W3d was amazing. You could max everything out including the perspective change mode and it would fly. Even 680x0 mode would fly ith Warp3D with 800x600+ just not the perspective change mode.
BTW: Great game! I'm not a GTA player so I can't compare the 2, as others might. Payback is VERY addictive! The gameplay is nonlinear, so it can be different every time you play it. Rampage mode is a lot of fun too! The only shame is they never made internet multiplayer mode.

I've played it a lot on my a1200 with blizzppc603 240Mhz / 060 and it's really great fun. And you can even design / upload more tracks, if you have the time.

It's a pretty sweet Amiga game, definitely a must. I played it several years ago on a heavily tweaked A1200/AGA/BLizz 060 system, and it actually ran fairly well.
If you haven't spent much time playing GTA, it will be even more fun and addicting.
-
i saw payback on 1200 with Blizzard PPC 200 Mhz in 800x600 and it's not very fast.
i don't remember if it was software or rendered mode..
-
Does anyone know how it will run with a AGA 1200 + Blizz 030 & 32mb?
I've wanted to this great game for ages :-)
-
I just tried the deom on my A4000 with CV64 3D and Warp engine 040 @ 40MHz. I can't remember the resolutions I tried, the lowest and second lowest CV3D resolutions that were available in the setup. On the seond lowest it was a little jerky, on the lowest it had smooth scrolling but the graphics were not the prettiest. I would say you would want a 060 and a GFX card to enjoy this game.
Anyone tried it on Amiga Forever? I don't have it, but am thinking it is the way to go for games like this and Napalm if you don't have a 060. Or lets hope that the Natami team pull through.
-
Yes it runs smoothly on both my BlizzardPPC + BVision A1200 and under AmigaForever I have not tried it since moving over to using a MediatorSX and Voodoo PCI card and my A1200 tower is not working at the moment so I cant test it.
I am suffering from audio break up and low volume and I have just finished stripping my system down as far as I can without fixing the problem.
and have tested with both my BlizzardPPC and Blizzard 040 with the same issue.
Anyway back on topic I am a big GTA:SA fan on the PC but I still found payback really good fun and highly recommend it so if you have not already tried it give it a go if your Amiga is up to the challenge of running it I am sure you will love it too.

Amazing, you're in Glasgow. What part? I'm in the south side.
-
Currently I am staying in a village about 20 miles outside Glasgow but I used to stay in the Westend of Glasgow for a year or two.
I still sort of work in Glasgow on the southside although the Braehead complex has been rezoned as Paisley rather than Glasgow but as the office still has a Glasgow postcode we still call it the Glasgow office, it was in Glasgow when we started and its not moved so you would think its still in Glasgow, buts thats local government for you :crazy:
-
Cool. Nice to see someone with powerful Amigas close to me. I thought my 040 was pretty good until I tried running the likes of Payback.
My advice to people is to download the demo from their web site and try it on your particular setup.

Im just amazed they ported it to the Amiga if only more developers would follow suit,
-
Ported? It was developed on it.

LOL, it was developed on the Amiga, specifically for it... They only ported it to other platforms (GBA, GP2x) to try and make some money from it. The Amiga userbase is pretty darn small to be able to develop exclusively for.

I tried it out. I like it! Putting it on my list to buy.
