ErikBauer · 01 August 2007, 13:21

http://hol.abime.net/5548

Does anybody of you know something more?
From the pics it seems an interesting coversion!

EDIT:
Ok, I've red a little bit more on the HoL page, it has been stopped and the demo is downloadable.

It's quite neat but never made it past the demo stage, this thread will answer most (if not all) of your questions.

Me knows... but me sumewhen does not recall to read all thems before exclaming in excitement "WOW! RE for Amiga AGA?!? Must tell to AgtW!"

No it doesnt, it looks total SHITE.

It's a slideshow made from screengrabs from another platform, with an attempt to turn into a Point-n-click adventure. Non of the characters are 3D (or 2D). The animation, even in action sequences is non existant.

Man it is total and utter homebrew CRAP.

That's why the minimum requirements are THAT low

kriz · 02 August 2007, 06:37

Its very bad, nothing to do with real game man.

I tend to agree with alexh... after watching the first minute or so of the YouTube video I had to turn it off. I felt I was wasting my life watching it

mombasajoe · 15 August 2007, 08:36

I "played" it a long time ago. It isn´t worth any minute playing time. It´s pure crap.

BippyM · 15 August 2007, 13:02

absolute pure p00p!

The Amiga (anything less than 060 and maybe even 060) will never be able to run this game properly!

I don't even see the point of this thread!

Let's stick to what the amiga is/was good at please!

Zetr0 · 15 August 2007, 15:22

@bippym

an 030+ with enough ram should easly be able to do filled polys for the characters and the other entitys on the screen... after all there backdrops are all static. arguable an amiga CD version could be done where by it could use direct animation play or just use the engine and dump the background sound / narration to cd-audio out for zero processing...

on the ps1 the shadows are static overlays with no processing other than to blat it onscreen

A fast 040 or 060, maybe able to do some simple texturing / smoothing on top of those polys.. with a simple surface removal routine, you could improve a fair bit me thinks maybe able to squeeze - in a rudimentary light source..

personally i think a well written engine could be created to play a very close aproximation of resident evil on an AGA/040+ equiped amiga.

arguably with a 2/4mb graphics card an 030@50mhz + should easly be able to do it.

The FMV would look awesome in 4fps post-box vision too

yes.. guess you should remove it from project aGTW and combine it with the other RE thread

arguably you could have a full 320x240 / 640x480 CDXL animation, 16+fps on an 030+ an should be relatively passible lol. the original FMV wasnt an mpeg stream it was infact a sequential frame anim format and IIRC with very little compression...

Graham Humphrey · 15 August 2007, 20:59

But what would be the point when there's a perfectly good PlayStation version out there

Dizzy · 15 August 2007, 21:04

well the gaycube version is cooler

I like RE 4 on PS2, that game is the best in the serie

But the gaycube remake of RE look good
