WOASE - You are not going to believe this!

This is so typical of Amiga users.

Look people, one minute it's no software, the next it's that it's not a current release. The fact that Hyperion has managed to pull this off while dedicating most of its resources to OS4 is worth considerable kudos. I'd certainly rather see Quake 2 running on a demo machine than lines and boxes.

No , I can't belive it took FIVE years to port Q2...

Well the source was only released this year. I supposed that Hyperion and no one else wanted to pay for thesource knowing it would eventualy be released?

Hyperion`s done a damn good job which i respect them for it but i dont see how such old games are even good for the amiga`s, if they want to attract the die hards then fair enough but try to get non amiga users to the amiga by offering them something NEW.

Try porting new games like UT2003, gta3, mafia..... Its totally impossible, the hardware just isnt up2date anymore, even q2 is pushing the limits...

...which is probably one of the reasons why Hyperion are so keen on the OS4 project.  There's not a lot you can do with a PPC604@200MHz and lots of horrendous context switches.  On the other hand, a 600MHz box plus a PPC-native OS opens up a lot of doors.  Throw in a nice 3D accelerator and the Amiga goes from a hacked 15-year old technology to clean 3-year old tech.  Not up to snuff yet, but a lot of things went from "to get 18fps I must sacrifice a chicken" to "this will take a few weeks to do"  :-D

Quake II

Whoopedidodah! Not far away from one of my favourite PC-games-of-all-times-deluxe then, Anachronox! :-) Based on the Quake II engine, it would be a blast on a miggy!
(hopefully the source will be released in a near future. Perhaps even before 2020? :-))
