Actually this is old news. Of which, I am geussing it is like what I did with our website, simply carried over many things to the new site, text wise, picture wise, etc.
If Im not mistaken, and perhaps I shouldnt let this slip, but it should be alright, after emailing, it is evidently clear that they are not expecting to continue the port for this game any time soon, this was in response to an email I sent many months ago though.

I learned a long time ago to stop trying to understand or even argue with Hyperion's logic on this and many other things for that matter - these are usually met with abuse or ridicule - eventhough they have been proven wrong time and time again. I'm guessing this "announcement" will not be anything monumental, just something that will be welcome/well received by most, which when offered to a starving audience is not all that hard to do. After all, improvements, even minor ones, are hardly ever recieved negatively under these type of conditions.
However, having said this, note that he nor has Rogue specifically ruled out an ARM port - at least not to my knowledge - as being what is behind the announcement. They have now changed the party line to "the PowerPC will continue to be their primary focus with other ones being an after thought," which is a huge change from what I have seen from in the past decade. Also, unless these guys specically rule out an ARM port in this thread, this does still leave it on the table as a remote possibility in being the super duper secret project.
Gotta love those announcements of annoucements. They certainly have the desired effect of keeping the spotlight on Hyperion. I guess it's more entertaining than the usual update on the AInc and Hyperion legal battle.

What I was agreeing on was what we would rather see being announced - an end to the legal battle. He does however have a point in that if the legal battle is not resolved, it probably makes it harder for Hyperion to do too much to OS4, including picking new hardware platforms to run it on. But please, let's not get into a battle over what AInc. should/could or shouldn't/couldn't do, it would be purely speculative, off-topic, and quite a bore at any rate seeing as this has been discussed and argued over a million times already on AW.NET.

If you are met with true abuse and ridicule report it. Don't hold some grudge where you'll now come on here and tell the entire board that Hyperion's *opinion* is plain "wrong" and "has been proven wrong time and time again". Its a opinion after all, and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Did they say it would be monumental? NO. They said it was their "most ambitious project to date".

If its their "super duper secret project" then why did they tell us all about it? It seems you are going out of your way to be sarcastic.

So now you know their motivation behind when they wrote that phrase on their website to be able to declare its "desired effect" achieved? Thats just BS._________________ Pegasos2 G3 running AOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2.0 Amikit user, tinkering with Icaros VM (AROS) EFIKA owner Amiga 1200 |

Well if someone writes stuff like "we are working on our most ambitious project" without telling what it is and does so for several months I would say we're close to defintion of "hype". |
They put this on their webpage as they were re-doing it, they did not do a press release, they did not go on boards pointing it out. Its everyone else who has tried to dissect that single phrase 50 ways from Sunday. And they have not be "doing so for several months". They have responded to a couple of the questioning since the phrase was posted. Thats it. And the response does not look like its going to change._________________ Pegasos2 G3 running AOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2.0 Amikit user, tinkering with Icaros VM (AROS) EFIKA owner Amiga 1200 |

There are many was to handle PR. From a user POV a more open communication would be nice but I understand why circumstances sometimes make that difficult.
Like everyone else here I will be looking forward to see what you have been working on, good luck with the project (and don't waste too much time in this thread).

Perhaps. You have every right to your opinion. I don't believe I have actually moderated anything of yours ever.
But if you do have an issue with moderation, simply take it to PM with any mod of your choice.

i would think hyperion knows us well enough to know a little info can spur a lot of hype. playing coy only makes the rabid users even more rabid for info. creating more interest and hype while leaving the door open that they didn't announce anything. i mean do you really think they innocently put that up without any idea how it was gonna be blown out of proportion?
not that there is anything wrong with that. lots of companies play off their userbase. Last edited by jkirk on 10-Jul-2009 at 03:56 PM.

| The problem here is that Hyperion/Rogue just don't get it.......ALL WE WANT IS TO KNOW IF ITS AMIGA/OS4 RELATED......got damn!
So please Hyperion stop your nose up attitude about how hard it is with us users/potential buyers, and start spreading some smilies. Its okay you wont tell exactly what the project is about, even though some beans perhaps could be spilled, but its not okay you wont even bother tell us if its amiga related at all. Oh and I also think Kronos is right.....that you should tell more to such a tiny community. But if the project is of such a ambitious nature, then of course I understand you wont tell.
Good luck with the project......i hope its something for us and not some thingy for a spaceship....unless its OS4 of course
