Northland coming to MorphOS

[mahen]

Kay : don't worry; I'm sure Epic will port it to OS4 when/if released. They just can't right now (it seems to need a 500mhz+ PC).

[Mad-Matt]

funnely enough, im running AmigaOS right now and id imagine 98% of all amiga users are also running AmigaOS.

Still would have been nice if they could have targeted amiga users instead of mos beta users.

Besides, i see no reason if an aos version existed now why it wouldnt run on aos4, maybe not as good as it could but should run.

@Mad-Hatt

OS FOUR does not exist, 68k is to slow and WOS/PuP not
suitable for this game (or e.p.i.c.'s prting libs).

Amithlon is not seen as a market for them, so MorphOS is the
possibilty left.

[Paul_Gadd]

Yes, Amiga version should be out when OS4 is around instead of trying to make a game run half decent on old slow hardware to please a few users.

[Tomas]

classic amiga is just to obsolete i guess.... And mos is a growing platform... While aos is shrinking for every damn day  :-(  Hopefully this will change if hyperion and ainc gets their fingers out of their as*es and actually get something out of the door.

[SlimJim]

I believe it was e.p.i.c that said they would indeed
consider doing AOS4 versions of their games as well -
only logical as it would be another segment to sell to. It's
quite reasonable they cannot do any porting without
having seen the OS yet (and even if you could technically
start working towards AOS4 already, given the guidelines,
it might feel a tad bit too much of a risk to port to an OS
that is already so late in coming into life - at least before
actually seeing it. Understandable.).
But summa sumarum, once AOS4 is out I'm sure we'll see
games like this appear for the Amiga platform too. This is a good sign.
 
Perhaps would be a nice touch for Hyperion to petition
these developers a little? They need all games/programs
they can get for AOS4.
 
But for now - good for the MOS-users! Hope you buy en
masse to support developers still aiming for such small
markets as those of AOS and MOS.

@mahen:

Hope you're right. Oh, and it is "when released" ;-).

Right when I received my copy of Knights&Merchants I tried it on my BlizzardPPC/BVision. There is absolutely NO point in targetting a product for a machine that can NOT run it on an acceptable speed. I'm sure epic would be happy to sell K&M for AmigaPPC machines, but they are just too slow.

[Step]

It seems better than that merchants game, but i just wish they would stop messing up the norse mythology, damn read a book or something, a little research dont hurt...

If this came out for os4 instead of morph os it would still be dull does not exactly need a very powerfull machine for these type of game fps games are much better something along the lines of medal of honar or batlefeild 1942 which are briliant to play online.when you have seen one  rts  youve seen them all.

[Snuden]

Hmm, looks quite nice. I hope they'll make an OS4 version too, when it's ready. But well AFAIR E.P.I.C said that they would make an OS4 port of Divine Divinity too, when OS4 is ready so...

[KennyR]

Medal of Honour is not to everyone's taste. I think it sucks. I also think strategy games have much more room for variety than Yet Another Ego Shooter (TM).

[JoannaK]

Agree.. I don't want another (or even first) Doom, Quake, half-life or other similar game. On PC I play games like Zangband, Gridrunner++ and Warblade (= remake of Deluxe Galaga), on PS2 I'll prefer Metal Gear Solid2, Ace Combat, Grand tourismo 3 and Baldur's gate.

Of those games bundled along Pegasos I have quickly tested only  Feeble files. It feels like a some older gfx adventures like sierra et all..

[lempkee]

they need to wake up now..., sure its cool with new games...but why soooooooooooooo many rpg, adventure and rTS games?? ..

we need drive em ups and such.... instead of theese endless games...

i vouch for a rollcage clone or something....


anyway epic allready stated like 5000 times that they target all theyr new stuff to mos only because OS4 is not out, when os4 is out they will appear and work on them aswell, have no fear.
so stop this bullocks that its mOS only..., its just that we dont have a os for our a1's yet...and we cant expect that the lame DCe/p5 cards will run any of the new swashbuckling games.

classic is finito ...atleast in this field....
time to upgrade if u want to play new games...and for that either wait to os4 is out or get a pegasos.

pps: all the released games till now all work on os3.9 + wos /pup ...there is no reason to start screaming that its one way or the another.... only titan have a special MOS ONLY deal....whilst aMIGA and 3 (+more) have special AMIGA os4 only contracts.

cheers and have fun....

[System]

looks like a good game... should be fun...

as for the 'why not for AOS" thats quite simple... classic AmigaOS runs only on Amigas wich are very slow and obselete... AmigaOS4 dosent exist yet... so its not a matter of bias.

@amigamad:

We've already decided not to use the TLA "FPS" for first person shooters, since it already meant frames per second. Please comply with the following terms:

1PS first person shooter
3PS third person shooter
2PS second person shooter (1PS or 3PS, but you're the one getting shot at  :-P )

Thanks in advance :-)
