Now I must quote myself, but I want you to tell, that I downloaded that
big archiv of hereticII-demo.
Be aware, you really need not only a lot of memory but a hell of a
speedy hardware.
On my configs (see below) it is no fun to play at all! Especially
deathmatches should not be funny. As it was impossible to connect the
demo-version to my pc acting as server or connect all three of them, I
had to make the amigas as servers. Which caused a slowdown of the
engine, too. But even in single game it is much to slow to be enjoyed.
My config is
A4000 with 96 MB FASTRAM and 68060 with 604PPC at 240 Mhz.
BUT Cybervision64-3D only. So this machine has a big advantage and I was
sure of this before. But what can you do, when DCE does not sell new
graphicscard that are need for this masterpiece of game like an
cybervisionPPC?
Then I have an A1200 with 68040 at 25 Mhz and 603e with 166 Mhz
This one has an permedia2 based graphicscard so I expected it being a
lot faster than the A4000 in hereticII.
No chance! It is even slower than my A4000 in software mode!
Well, I guess you will need the best hardware that is around to get some
fun in deathmatches with this game. I already played Singleplayer mode
on PC till nearly finish, so it is for me just intereting in deathmatch
mode. But here it is too slow!
:-(
Dont get me wrong! The game itself and the work of hyperion is
fantastic! It is just the hardware, that is missing. And you cant even
go to shop and just buy it! :-(
