Taken from the forums: " I (http://amiga.org/userinfo.php?uid=229) made a voting poll for what game should be ported to the Amiga (One) computer. I (http://amiga.org/userinfo.php?uid=229) know this isn't official , so beware it's just an indication to see what people like to see
Also you can add your own game favorite to the poll !
So let's vote for fun ... (http://www.amiweb.nl/cgi-bin/vote/vote.cgi?action=showvote&topic=1)"
Editor's note: Vote for Startrek Armada ...

hehe :-)

I vote *NO PORTING TO THE AMIGA* I do *NOT* want games that I can already play on my PC.
* I want the Amiga to return to being the fricking revolutionary platform it used to be.
* I want the Amiga to LEAD THE WAY, not pick over the dead carcass of long-forgotten games.
* I want ALL games/software written for Amiga DE so it can run on any damned platform that *I* choose. Isn't this what it's all about?
Why is this so hard to understand? Sounds like it's time for a new SegWayne(tm) editorial.

Yup, lets have an SegWayne(tm) editorial. :-)

Your a bit closed minded arn't you mate?
Entire games take years to develop to the quality of games we now see on the PC. This is impossible at the moment in the AMIGA Market, no company has the time to resources to devote to creating an entirely new game for such a small community. Those that do simply don't usually create games up to the standards of the PC, its a lack of resources, time and money.
Our best hope is to port some of the better PC games, which can be done pretty easily thanks to the wonderful world of C and C++, then if our community expands we could demand our own exclusive games. However you must remember than if you look around you'll see few platform unique games, hell even game console and PC games are crossing over. There are few MAC games that arn't available for the PC (commerical titles).
So in short - don't be stupid. Now use your senses and go and vote for Unreal2 you fool.

In a way I agree. Maybe its the constant jabbling
from people screaming for features/games/apps
on other platforms all the time. I say : get that platform than and dont be so narrow-minded
that everything have to be duplicated to the amiga
before its acceptable.

For an OS4 game, I want a driving game... not a sim type driving game like f1gp but more along the lines of Need4Speed3 a la arcade style. That's something I have yet to see on the Amiga and one thing I would just love to play. Another good game I'd like to see is something like AfterBurner, arcade style air combat FPS style. I'm not much into the full blown sims where you have to modify your camber and airwings and check for your tire heat levels or all that junk... I just want to race... and race... and race... and race... you get the picture.

Wait. don't we have some PPC games? I keep hearing Shogo and PPC mentioned, so I assume that must be an Amiga PPC game. If we do, what are they? screenshots?
-
Check out the features of Shogo on their web site while you are at it. Shogo was just released for preorder at the same time my A4K gave up the ghost, otherwise I'd be playing it right about now.

Personally??? you need both New Amiga only games and ports its that simple!
Unique games so that peopel go wow thats good and I cant get it anywhere else.. and ports so that you dont have to have more than 1 computer to play all the games you want and already like!
I brought a PC for the SOLE purpose to play CM2/3 (I brought Cm 97/98 on the amiga and omg did it suck cheesy boils, it would crash after 2 seasons!) and when I saw a mate playing Half-Life I just had to have it!
Im a game freak sometimes i only like 1 game on a console (like Die Hard Arcade on the Sega, or Halo on the Xbox) but if that console/computer had lots of games I like already and like the look off im going to buy it!
Closing off the Amiga from game ports will only send it down the path the Xbox is currently facing.. thats a good example, amazing machine. amazing hardware, 1 or 2 amazing games but not enough to stop people from buying the Playstation.
IF M$ cant get more than 20 or so games out on release where does that leave a smaller company??
Games and apps make a machine, and so does choice! people wont take the Amiga seriously if you dont have the Adobe range of programs for example or Quark, but that still doesnt mean you cant have Amiga specific apps as well!
just my 2p worth anyway! :-D
-
How about some online games?
Everquest or Everquest 2?
:-D
-
Persoanlly, I'd throw my vote for the WarCraft series. I can't wait to get the super-mega-deluxe-ultra-shoot-a-stiffy version of WarCraft III when it comes out. That's gonna ROCK!
Oh, and EverCrack? :-o No thank you. :-D
Peace;

You and I think alot differently!
AmigaAnywhere games running on DE-Player for Windows on a Wintel box is not an Amiga. AA games on a cell phone is not an Amiga.
You have made decent points for the potenial of AA, but AA is not a platform and I doubt you will ever see games the calibre of Rune or Doom3 on AA.

[color=000066]Actually you all want [/color][color=CC0000]Silent Hill 2[/color][color=000033] ported from the PS2 to [/color][color=FF6600]Amiga[/color][/b]!

I vote for the "Jedi Knight' series. I love those games. The have great repeat playability and a good plot. More than your average "Blow everything up with your Plasma Rifle" (Although you can do that, too.)
-
I vote for Stuntcar Racer 2 , we need this game.
for a ported game, give me Unreal Tournament, and i'll never have to boot windows again :-)

I think to be realistic we will need to have the best of the games on other platforms as well as Amiga specific titles that really show off the system to its full capacity.
-
I think we need both ports and original games. Ports because:
-There are some really good games out there that we can get access to for a lot less effort and resources than would be required to make original high-quality titles.
-There are some games without which some of us can't live :-). I have it that way with Alpha Centauri, and I heard someone mention Halflife. As long as these game doesn't exist for the Amiga, we'll have to use other systems.
-Porting is the quickest and most efficient way of building up a good software base.
Original games we need because:
-They can help sway users to switch platforms.
When it comes to what type of games: I have a PS2 to complement my Amiga. This gives me access to a lot of brilliant console-style games, such as Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2, GTA3 etc. However, it does not give me satisfactory access to typical PC-style games, such as strategy and FPS games. There are some games in these cathegories, but not many, and most of them aren't really as good as they should be. The reason for this is for the most part that console controllers aren't really suited for these games, but there are other problems as well. Anyway, I think Amiga developers should focus on the type games which are the typical for personal computers, such as strategy and first person shooters. Oh, and adventure games. I want Monkey Island 3! :-)

I would also like the good old SuperFrog!!!
If Team17 could create games for the Amiga once again, that would be cool :o)
-
I agree with most, that the AmigaOne will need ports and originals. Good ports to attract peoples attention, like:
METAL GEAR SOLID 2
QUAKE 4 (once it arrives on PC)
QUAKE 2 & 3
RESIDENT EVIL
DEVIL MAY CRY
SSX TRICKY
A NEW SWOS!
GRAND PRIX 3
FINAL FANTASY 10 (not 5 eh!)
THEME HOSPITAL
FINAL DOOM

Damnit guys I just want a new Amiga, Give me a new Amiga and I'll write games for it.
