What games to play on the AmigaOne:-)

[masc]

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

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.

MOHAA -  UT2003 and something kinda like Freelancer

As for Last Ninja, yes please!  Seems the X-box is gonna be having that pleasure  :roll:

and something kinda like Freelancer

That's right!!! FREELANCER! I'm really looking forward for something like that. And it will be great to see revive of best strategy game ever, Deuteros.

Actually, talkin of Freelancer type games. I would really love to see First Encounters redone for A1 (FE was released in 95/96 on PC as a sequel to Elite) This would kick ass if it were remastered for the A1. With proper h/w acceleration and fixed bugs, proper joystick control too. And maybe some better sound fx, the ones in the original PeeCee release were atrocious. It could really take off.

Anyway... we really need an elite clone for A1. One with the gfx and scope to match. Maybe it can be turned into a free persistently MMORPG, there are so many on PC, but they all cost money. A free A1 only version would certainly get the numbers growing! Maybe it can ship with OS4 or something as a promotion to the new OS release.

here's my 2 cents

While even 64MB SDRAM + 64MB GFX card DDR RAM is "lightyear" ahead of XBOX memory capacity...

256MB SDRAM should remove the need of the swap memory & HDD.

HDD could be added when/if needed. (it should exist in A1200 kind of machine, not in CD32/gameconsole)

He's still right, though. An AmigaOne doesn't need biggest and best to match xbox performance. It's just one of those situations where a hypotethical comparisons call for low specs :-)

The interesting point is that 99% of the time high-end systems are touted as "what you need to run the latest games", but what does that make the xbox? And what does that mean in regards to the AmigaOne? Yes, I know the AmigaOne is more expensive than an xbox, but I think it's also both more user friendly and has more potential. It's also faster. Especially if you go for the G4 and get some good vectorized programming ;-)

Every played the Baldur's Gate series? *That* is what I call an RPG :-)

(Besides, Eye of the Beholder is available as a module for Neverwinter Nights ;-) )

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

@Rogue

Hidden & Dangerous is one of my favourtie games for the PC, so I'd second that recommendation!  I've not found it that buggy tho - except team member's occasional suicidal tendancies.

It is very atmospheric, i hope we see it, or something similar for OS4+.

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 would love to see Devil May Cry 1 - 2 for the AmigaOne / Pegasos!  :-D

I bought my Playstation 2 only for that game!

[Panthro]

I want "Planet Side"  :crazy: it's INSANE!!

just look at the footage to see what I mean!! ;-)

it's a bit like tribes but with over 1000 players :-D

http://planetside.station.sony.com/


oh and how about tribes2 er Unreal tournament
the remake of Final Fantasy7 and Tekken.....

but a new amiga only game would rock!!!!

Even so gaming is now social not anti-social
people won't play a game if there is no-one else
to play with online........unless it's only single play :-)

Some of my favorite games:

Fallout 1, 2, BOS
Baldur's Gate 1, 2
Icewind Dale
Heroes of Might & Magic 3, 4
Jagged Alliance 1, 2

Some I would like to try:

Duke Nukem Forever
Unreal Tournament

Amiga Classics:

Battle Isle
Oil Imperium
Super Cars 2
Traders
Dogs of War
Midnight Resistance
Golden Axe

The Playstation 2 has a vast amount of games and it seems Sony has provided the Linux community with utilities for converting things. If you can convert things for PS 2 from Linux, what's to stop people reverse engininering and releasing similar games onto the AmigaONE?

After all Connetix produced a PSX Emulator on Mac and beat Sonys law suit.

...First Encounters redone for A1...

Just don't know what to say on that. I love Elite series, over ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 to Amiga, I probably have wasted a lot of hours playing it. But when I saw FFE, I was little disappointed. GFX is ugly (even for that time) and game is full of bugs, almost not playable. So, if you want Frontier First Encounters just to be ported on Amiga, that is fine, but to see a remake of it, I don't think so (( Don't get me wrong, that is something I really like to see on Aone, but probably nobody wants to start doing FFE from scratch all w/hardware acceleration and cool sound fx/music and not to be sure how much $$$ is going to earn from the project. I'm watching all the time Elite4 site, and David Braben and Co. did put Elite4 on hold right now. That's a shame... (( There is lot of people out there who are having projects similar like Elite (space simulations), but progress is slow or abandoned.

Of course, I do keep track of developments.

256MB SDRAM should remove the need of the swap memory & HDD.

Of course, but the final cost would be potential point of concern.

HDD could be added when/if needed. (it should exist in A1200 kind of machine, not in CD32/gameconsole)

Of course i.e. how could one save their home-related user data** without a (random access) mass storage device (e.g. hard disk)?
