What games to play on the AmigaOne:-)

[Desler]

Id really like to play updated versions of interceptor and supercars II. These are by far the funniest games I ever tried. (Remember in interceptor how it was possible to land upside down on the aircraft carrier without blowing up)

[PulsatingQuasar]

Well, what about Doom 3 and Quake 4!!

And not ported but released by ID software and Raven software themselves. That would be the coolest thing and the most news catching in the whole gaming world.

But back into reality.... I'd like to play all games ported so far like Quake and Quake 2 and Shogo and everything else ported by Hyperion.

Do you think Hyperion will acquire this license or will you spin off your own video game company to do this?

[MikeB]

I think Last Ninja would be cool.

As for new games "Devil May Cry2.." even the Playstion 2 has some great games that would be great ported over to the Amiga.

I been experimenting with PGEN on the PS2, which is a Sega emulator.. now if Amiga could release an Amiga Emulator to run on Playstation2 that would bring in a few more crowds.

I am still hoping to do my own games in the future, so if there would be a spin-off company, we'd be doing our own games, not ports ;-) We've got all these ideas and stuff...

Needless to say at the moment we're not going to acquire any licence because we simply don't have the time, but who knows what may happen in the future.

I'd love an "Elite" style game, with modern graphics and updated missions and interactive (Net) possibilities.

Kind of.. go to "The Red spot" pub on Jupiter and meet Dr doom.. take package to......#? sort of thing  !!

@rogue:

Your comment sparked my interest (never really heard of the game, then again I don't follow it all that closely), but the demo is quite bugged it seems (not to mention some very silly language errors). How's the full game in terms of stability? (Some of the reviews I've flicked through also complained about bugs).

Yeah, the original version was very buggy. Most if not all of them have been resolved in later patches, and the Deluxe Edition (with the improved engine and mission editor) is practically free of it. There are still a few quirks in the AI (meaning that if your team members are computer-controlled, they might occasionally take detours that are hard to explain).

In the earlier versions, you could also easily fall through the floor, resultion in you popping up sky-high and falling to your death. That has been resolved in the meantime.

About the language, yes, I first played the german version and it also had some stupid bugs (sometimes "tank" means tank, not an armoured vehicle :-) ) Also, the german version had all Nazi symbols removed (displaying those is prohibited in Germany), and enemies killed turned into backpacks instead of corpses. The new version can switch to english language...

Other than that, the game is great, especially in multiplayer. The use of sound effects makes for a very good moody game

I know what you mean. My PC also has one of these cheap cases that start to vibrate. Sometimes drives you nuts. Now imagine how bad things could be if you had a GeforceFX :-)

I hope A1 will improve this situation??

It certainly does. At one time I was playing a game on the PC when I suddenly noticed that I had left it on. The G3 version can theoretically run without active cooler. A graphics card can be equipped with a heatpipe cooler. That would only leave the harddrive and PSU, But both are louder than the cooler on my G4, anyway...

P.S. RPGs, RPGs, RPGs, RPGs...

Yeah, Neverwinter Nights would be a cool addition :-) And of course the best RPG of all times, Baldur's Gate and sequels/addons.

[Karlos]

There are some pretty nifty copper based passive coolers. You reckon they could fit the PPC G3? or G4?

Hi, what games do you want to play on the new AmigaOne?

Unreal Tournament 2003**. AmigaOne with ~800Mhz processor, 64MB (SD)RAM and ATI Radeon 9000(DirectX8/OpenGLv1.4 class GPU) should be enough to match the X-BOX's level of performance.  

**X-BOX level system requirements. X-BOX edition may not as rich/bloated/obese/excessive as WinPC edition but it should enable similar experience.

Also note that, AmigaOne with ~800Mhz processor, 64MB (SD)RAM, ATI Radeon 9000(DirectX8/OpenGLv1.4 class GPU) and SB-Live should be enough to run any similar level X-Box games.

IF Eyetech release PPC edition of X-BOX level spec within/or around the “Amiga500” market segment such a machine may do quite well i.e. small footprint OS + home/small office PC + X-Box level gaming capability. (Perhaps based around Eyetech’s cheaper AmigaOneG3Lite(?) platform).

Alternatively, AmigaOne with 600Mhz processor, 64MB RAM and ATI Radeon 7500 should be more than enough to run Nintendo’s Game Cube level games.

@Hammer

You don't want 64Mb - get a big wedge while it's cheap. Go for 256 or 512MB :-D

Then pee on the XBOX :-)

Alledgedly, DOOM-3 is under consideration for the XBOX, so maybe a decent A1XE with Radeon9000 class GPU will cope too...

[Dan]

the games i  want
Civilization 3
Sin
Knights of the sky (updated for amigaone, it´s the best flight simulator ever)
Eye of the beholder style RPGs( not isometric 3d from above itsn´t  a really rpg if you are watching from the Dune viewing angel)
some good beatem ups
And let´s revive the 2Dplatform games in 24bit glory
Quake 3/4

[Hammer]

You don't want 64Mb

My statement was factoring in a PPC edition of “Amiga500” targeted home PC with good level gaming experience and price (or close to it).

This formula works with the Amiga in past i.e. a leisure PC which fits between the consoles and X86 Window PCs.
 
256MB or 512MB is nice, but factoring the potential cost of lower class AmigaOne motherboard; other cutdown maybe required. I really do wish that the Amiga’s main investors to have a successful venture.  

I do missed Amiga500’s characteristics i.e. click-and-go gaming*, home/school PC*, relatively small size for travelling*, relatively cool running HW*, light-weight-OS* and relatively cheap price*. Such characteristics are suited for the next generation of kids as the Amiga500 was suited for my needs/wants when I was younger.  I least my parents doesn’t have to worry about 'blowing up' the PC. (PS My parents has an IBM PS/2 back that time (i.e. 1989)).

Personally, I have several unused 256MB 133Mhz SDRAM sticks for the A1.

Then pee on the XBOX

My use of “X-BOX” is just to illustrate a level of  system requirements.  

Alledgedly, DOOM-3 is under consideration for the XBOX, so maybe a decent A1XE with Radeon9000 class GPU will cope too...

I know, but other considerations have to be taken into an account.

Whatever happened to explorer 2260?  

That was a elite style game, It was looking really cool.  The devs The World Foundry vanished and last I heard the game`s dev team went independent to finish it.

The game`s sister title Maim and Mangle, an RTS, was back in development recently, I recall.  It was developed by the same guys, I forget the site`s url though.
