Pressemitteilung von Hyperion
Hyperion acquires license from Activision to port Heretic II to the
Amiga.
Hyperion is very pleased to announce that it has (in collaboration with
Stuart Walker from Digital Images) acquired a license from Activision to
port Raven Softwares highly acclaimed Heretic II to the Amiga. Heretic II
is the stunning conceptual sequel to Heretic and Hexen and is based on Id
Softwares advanced Quake II(tm) engine.
The Amiga version will require a PPC processor (WarpOS) and a graphicscard
and will take full advantage of 3D accelerators through Warp3D. The
possibility of a 68060 version is under investigation but would in any
case require 3D acceleration. Other features include virtual 3D sound
(supported through AHI) and network-play (internet, modem, LAN). The Amiga
port will be carried out by Peter Annuss (ADescent PPC, EGCS WarpUp), Joe
Sera (AQCVid, Skyline II, ObjectWorkshop), Hans-Joerg Frieden (Warp3D,
ADescent W3D, Shogo) and others. Release is expected to be early to mid Q4
1999.
Hyperions goal is to provide Amiga users with some of the best games to
date and this is just the beginning, says Hyperions managing partner Ben
Hermans. High-end games require high-end machines. There is some really
exciting Amiga technology out there today with more on the horizon and we
intend to push it to the limit. If users support us by getting us the
sales we need, they will have a lot to look forward to.
