Amigaworld.net News   Amigaworld.net News : Heretic 2 for 68k Release on 9th August 2024
   posted by MagicSN on 7-Aug-2024 10:16:03 (685 reads)
Starting Friday 9th August Heretic 2 68k will be available at Alinea Shop (and possibly soon other resellers as well).

Minimum requirements are a PiStorm based Amiga or a strong emulation system (UAE etc also supported).

Speed Data:

Pi Cm4 2.2 GHz: 25 fps in 640x480, 19 fps in 800x600
Pi4 1.8 GHz: 21 fps in 640x480
Pi3 1.5 GHz: 19 fps in 320x240, 12 fps in 640x360

This is timedemo data, timerefresh values are higher.

Different to the old WarpOS Version the fps-rate is extremely stable, no fps-drop on heavy action scenes.

The game is prepared for MiniGL (above values are software rendering), so if a 3D HW Driver appears for PiStorm (or other 68k hardware) it should work on it (assuming it supports MiniGL).

Background music is played in Ogg Vorbis instead of CD Audio. So no CD Drive needed.

I assume Warp3D should be possible with UAE with Voodoo-Emulation though this has not been explicitely tested.

As to UK resellers we offered it to Retro Passion and AmiKit, both in UK. Sordan in Ireland also got an offer. I think neither of them ordered yet but I hope they might still. I would suggest that you just ask them if they will carry it.

It's exciting to see the revival of classic games like Heretic 2 for modern systems, showcasing how retro gaming can evolve with new technology while maintaining stability fnaf and performance—this could open doors for more retro titles to receive similar treatment!
