Stay on Topic.
...

Hyperion are not doing a port for MOS. Rouge isn't interested in MOS. Accept these as facts.

Hey, as a potential user of this Gorky program, I'm just interested in why I can't run it on my Pegasos, and why I must rush out to buy another platform.

Is that not a valid question to the developer of the software?

Looks like 2003 is going out with a bang !!

May 2004 bring a more serene community.

Ok.. It's good there will be some games from Hyperion. As OS4 itself ain't likely to break even, so it's essential to Hyperion to release as many games as possible to balance the cost of OS making.

But at the same time, I have to say I don't understand why this one particular game is so important to so many people that it's worth of 100 comments (and apparently some flamewars) ...  It's never been any major game on orher systems, not one of those must have games even in it's own genre.

warning: ot, but just an observation...

/me wonders how long it will take before I am blamed for the moderation of this thread, despite the fact that I spent the evening 45 miles away from my computer?

He didn't need to bring the Mac version in. You use two different measures.

Same software house is doing the port which would lead most people to wonder just how much is it going to be OS-X like in quality.

It started to degenerate the moment that Dammy brought it up. It served only one single purpose - to get bad publicity to Hyperion.

After seeing that review of Hyperion's work posted on ANN, it was pretty stupid of Hyperion to commit to it without either publically owning up to a poorly done port, or explain why there is a huge difference that will cover the lacking in the OS-X port.  I gave you a good window to redeem Hyperion, and I get whining.  Yeah, that's impressive, not.

Don't tell me it is any other way. I said repeatedly that the Mac version and Amiga version don't come from the same author.

It's the same company, isn't?  Some poorly done game is released by Hyperion, and we should all ignore it?   Yeah, right.  That makes for a real impressive "Hyperion Seal of Approval" for anything released by Hyperion, now doesn't? I guess quality doesn't count in the software house of Hyperion, regardless on who the coder was.  

When a sporting team loses, it's not the fault of the worst player, it's the entire team's fault even though the Coach should publically take full responsibility for the loss.  Perhaps BBRV could give some leadership classes, as a friendly jester to Hyprion.

Yeah, it's amazing how many people like the safe absolute dictatorship of AW, to protect them from non red-trolls, free speech, and hard facts.

I find your blindness and narrow-sightness rather amusing. You talk about dictatorship on AW.net when almost a complete thread got axed here by the moderators, and it wasn't even as bad as some other threads are. And, as I pointed out (which you will surely disagree because you are a blue troll and I am a red troll) the moderation was biased.

Free speech? I didn't experience that here.
Hard facts? All my reasoning was deleted.
Non-Red trolls? They where left alive, while I was not.

So much for your hard facts.

[Rogue]

I don't understand why this one particular game is so important to so many people that it's worth of 100 comments (and apparently some flamewars)

It's neither the game itself nor the comments, and the flaming only happened after Argo put the moderation axe to it. He completely overdid moderation in most posts, but left some others (most notably Dammy's first posting that got moderated in the meantime too).

That is what me off. At the same time you see people like KennyR moan about over-moderation on AW.net.

Same software house is doing the port which would lead most people to wonder just how much is it going to be OS-X like in quality.

Like I said, I have seen it running on OS X without any problem. It was a single bad review. As I also pointed out (before it got moderated by Argo) was that the press release mentions the authors that are doing the Amiga port.

Some poorly done game is released by Hyperion, and we should all ignore it? Yeah, right.

Hyperion didn't release it. Epic released it. It happened to be that someone that works for Hyperion also did the port for Epic, someone that is not even mentioned in the press release.

I guess quality doesn't count in the software house of Hyperion, regardless on who the coder was.

This just shows it. For the last time, it was Epic's game, not Hyperion's. If you have trouble with it, complain to Epic not to Hyperion.

When a sporting team loses, it's not the fault of the worst player, it's the entire team's fault even though the Coach should publically take full responsibility for the loss.

Like I said, it's not a Hyperion game. But I guess you are just ignoring the facts for your own goodness.

OK, can someone please moderate me.

[ksk]

I'm looking forward to see the Amiga port of Gorky17, even though it never was a price winning game, really.

IMHO: Game ports done by Hyperion have mostly been very good. I expect also this to be very good.


btw. will AOS4 CD have preview/demo versions of Hyperion games on it? Also Gorky17?
Also AOS4 updates for all already released Hyperion games?

Moderator, not moderators. It was a oneman show.
Hopefully this was the last time moderation is taken so seriously. I'd go even as far as saying maybe the strict moderation here even feed the bad seed.

Same old , same old, same old :-(

@ The most vocal

I never really understand what people would like to see. Amiga.org is a web forum, AmigaWorld.net is a web forum. Ann.luu is a web forum....etc... you get the picture.

All have different policies and all attract different visitors. Why should the visitors of one site feel the need to attack visitors of another.

Why follow the activity on other sites closely and jump on any chance to criticise, mock and patronise?? Surely time could be spent doing much better things.

Try to step back a little and look at yourself from a distance and make an honest judgement. Is this normal?

Is there a need to verbally attack each other?

At this moment in time we need to get together and push our platform forward. Whatever flavour we choose it's from the same root and that root is very weak. I fear that the platform's progress will be stifled by the shortsightedness of its own users .

[Edited by myself]

Oh and to get back on topic.

The more games available for the Amigoid platforms the better. Everyone has a different taste when it comes to games. I don't like the type where you just blast away anything in sight, instead I prefer those that are a little more involved, where you have to think a little and use a  bit of strategy. If this game falls into the latter category and if I like it when it is released I will probably buy it :-D

If you don't like a game dont buy it :-P  avoid the greif,  misery and early white hairs by not getting too deeply involved with every release that you will never buy anyway. Trust me, your life will be the better for it.

Lets put our differences aside. Lets stop the flames right here.
:-)

Have a happy , happy new year to ALL folks on ALL Amiga sites. :-D  :-D  :-D  :-)

Why is people whining about no ports for mos, when you allready said that the game sucked?? Why do you want a game that you say sucks?

I have also seen many games being released only for mos, i have seen no complaints then... sigh
