Amiga OS 4 World Tour

[Tomas]

Everytime there is some good news for us amiga users, the thread turns into a flame/troll party  :-(

I for one is happy for this game.. Good job hyperion  :-)

[Argo]

Please explain the point you are trying to make. Can you point to other reviews? One review only shows one point of view. Do you feel that if the Mac version was ill recieved that will bode the same for the Amiga version?
I'm not trying to slam you post, just trying to spur a sensable discussion.

[Argo]

You mean these?

Alien Nations and Majesty are Titan titles.

They subsequently renegged on their contract so you won't be seeing them for us.

SOF and SIN can't even run on the Cyberstorm and Blizzard hardware although the SIN port is finished.

Worms is on hold pending release of OS 4 as is Midnight racing.

Realsoft is still being worked on and will be available after OS 4 is released.

Thanks for the continued effort HyperionMP and other Hyperioners to get the Amiga into gear again.

I will be supporting this all the way and buy every game that is released for AmigaOS 4 including this one.

Also can't wait to get Quake 2 running on the AmigaOne. Runs good on the BlizzardPPC but now I wan't to see the FPS.

Seriously, why will OS4 port be better then your Mac port?

* It wasn't "my" Mac port. If you had read my now moderated comments, you'd know that I only seen it once.

* As I said before, the original press release states who does the port.

(Read this message before it gets moderated)

Wow, this one went wrong.

There are a few games I'd like to see ported but I might get moderated for saying so ;-)

Keep it up Hyperion. Not everyone will like every game you guys port but that's down to individuals tastes in games at the end of the day.

I'm sure your port will be true to the original.

Merry XMas, FuZion.

why are the comments EDITED??

i mean, why do people expect hyperion to support GENESI , is the world on drugs??


sorry but i think that the xmas lasted very long and infact too long as the trolls are now back OH and check an earlier hyperion thread some time ago and look who trolled there... JEEZ!

>i mean, why do people expect hyperion to support GENESI , is the world on drugs??

Ok I don't know what you mean by "supporting Genesi", but surely a MOS port could/would mean additional sales.

[Alkemyst]

It's strange reading a thread so streched to absolutes. It's either "Hyperion suck and must die!" (without looking back at their good ports) or "Well done Hyperion, you rule!!!!" (without taking consideration of their bad ones).

Well this is an Amiga site still aint it? .

I would think that most ppl here are only intrested in the quality of Amiga ports and thus far i have not come across a bad port to the amiga platform from hyperion.

Weather the games are any good in the first place is another matter.

[lempkee]

hooligan: sure but as its have been proved before there is no one buying stuff on pegasos , atleast thats what they say, there is atleast 600+ units sold and still their mos only game is still one of the most dissapointing sales ever on amiga..

what i meant with supporting GENESI was , if hyperion spewed out ports for morphos etc then they would jepordize their own os , amiga and mos is small so it wont take much and the better options for games and tools the more people will atleast consider a jumpship.


anyway the fact is that this war was started by the mos people and now (again) they got the NO MOS port planned etc and they start screaming , i did the same back when i was going the AmigaOs4 way and saw that all the planned games now was MOS only , so its more like payback times it feels..

anyway i am glad we will get competetion and people will stick to what themself think is correct and since i am a developer myself i clearly have reasons why i am an Amiga user and why i stuck to this since 1985 , i dont move up or down just because of titles but i had hoped for a somewhat less stressed out market mix (amigaos VS. morphos)

@lempkee

You never stop to amaze me ....

Who is "they" ?? And who gave you the sales figures for K&M ?

I don't know, but I do know what Michael from e.p.i.c. told me in Rotterdam about
how K&M sold compared to their last Amiga titles (SW-Tycoon/Feeble-Files),
and that was somewhat contradicting what you say here ....

But both sides will suffer from the same effects, loose out one sales for (emulated) 68k
and the other PPC-option, but boost sales from people ony their side.

[lempkee]

i still hope that there sometime will be people holding hands again in the amiga scene, but i feel that hyperion is in the right place to do what they have done + epic had the option to pay for an morphos liscense as rouge pointed out earlier.

oh and a liscense cost money, increasing sales for an morphos version might so be it but it wont ever justify the cost of the extra liscense, or?.

somewhere in the future we will see that 2 plattforms was infact a good and BAD idea escpecially when it comes to liscense and such, but then again i think everything will be great in the future as then both amigaos4 and morphos will have over 20.000 users ....maybe..

thats my newyears wish anyway..

But I am not talking about NOW, but about the future (when hopefully there are much more Pegasos' and A1+OS4 on the market). Why don't we all forget Pegasos1 and concentrate on what happens next.

Is this really a good idea?

nice to see Amiga.org moderation being as unbiased as ever.
