Just don't do a code review of it, they might get offended and pull it back.

Seriously, what a great opportunity if Unreal 4 could be made to work with PowerPC, I think Amiga would suddenly have a new lease of life - well, for the x1000 and x5000 etc...

@QuBe

I bet many of the games will be too demanding, but some of older tittles might be playable, on slow hardware. ( Not Amiga 500 slow , but you know what I mean. )

On the other hand, having game engine, does not magically give AmigaOS users games, Unreal engine use C++ for it games, and not script language like Unity, so you need to compile/port the games also.

The problem right now, is that X1000 & Sam460 users do not have 3D, we have Warp3D for Pegasus II, AmigaOne-XE/SE/Mini, well there is Wazp3D, but in the end I think we need Gallium 3D for a complete 3D experience.

X1000 and X5000 with RadeonHD will be able to cope with the UE4 engine

We need Warp3D to support shaders and other newer features..

Graphics side, provided there are drivers available, should not be an issue, but on the CPU side, things are much worse for AmigaOne boards as PA-6T and P5020/5040 are pretty weak CPUs, one of which even lacks an SIMD unit. For instance, for the Borderlands PC version minimum requirements are a 2.4 GHz x86 dual core CPU, which is faster than any CPU available for OS4.
