AmigaOne X1000, Amiga OS 4.1.x, & Gaming

[actung_bab]

Curious about gaming on the Amiga platform.

Now that the AmigaOne X1000 is shipping, and Amiga OS is up to 4.1u5, I wonder if this newer more powerful NG Amiga would make a killer gaming platform also.

My guess the AmigaOne X1000 was designed for more professional use but now that it is the most powerful system to run Amiga OS 4.x, will it attract any from the outside work on the gaming capability of the Amiga platform.

Is gaming relying on strictly high GHz power to propel the 3D nature of gaming or does the respondent OS have anything to do with gaming?

Obviously most games 3D games these days are running on Windows based platform with gaming computers, high overclocked CPUs, water cooling, and all that.

But, is it that they need all this speed because of the bogged down Windows it runs on?

Can a speedy X1000 running Amiga OS make some killer gaming because of how fast the Amiga OS is?

Or again is it all about power power power?

tj

its not just the cpu graphics card and ram just as important

The two brothers have done pc-amiga ports and thertes nothing to stop anyone porting
Open source Pc games ie old pc games

What windows uses is direct x software which is built into windows os
uses this for the sound and graphics interface so you can use many diffrent cards

There working on gaming interface for the amiga os 4 x not yet ready
So id say this is big road block to anyone being able to program decent games for amiga
X1000 , that and doesint support other cpu yet either , its a work in progress

You cant expect one small team to do everthing though easy sit on you butt and complain
be negitvie

If I'm a developer, which platform/s am I likely to develop for?

Thats silly argument when brought my sony ps3 when first released in new zealand it
was in fact 1200.00 nz plus it was more xpensive than was in the usa and we had to wait till yanks got there fill and they took out the ps2 hardware emulation.

And they where not many good game si even liked for the machine they dont always get it right certainly wasint the ps2 all over again. i used it for media centre and blu ray player
Played bit of reisitance and one car racing game forget the title

but i do agree with what platform u whould devlep for mind it be nice to have some orginal type amiga games not much orginal these days from big companys
there just after big bucks and playing it safe dumbing the games down really

 forget team 17 are still in the market and others that cut there theeth on the amiga
And alot people play those god alwfull flash games like farmville evony my nephew spends hours on that thing , i should imagine as there web based you will be able play these on amiga once the firefox port is brought along more. i say its quality not quanity
So little game that costs less to make , get it beta tested on amiga flash up graphics for xbox ps3 vita ? there you got you money back , and alot eager testers to try for you
