PR2 Request for cross platform

Oddsodz · 08-10-2009, 02:41 PM

Well. Some of you may know that the PR team are looking/researching if they can make a PR 2. With it's own engine and everything. It may happen and it may not. But if it does. I Hear by request that it be playable on all 3 major operating system platforms. That beaning Windows, Mac (yes Apple) and the good old Linux.

I Ask this as I myself wish to dump windows all together. I Only need it for games. And we all know that linux is just so much better in the non gaming desktop world (some will say "not so").

So if PR2 is to be made. I Would like to see a Linux version.

You mean like, server binaries in linux?

Or converting the whole game to run on it?

Umm , I don't think C4 (and hence PR2) runs on linux. Playstation is the third platform that C4 supports.

I don't think dumping windows would be a good idea...... The PR team has also mentioned that they where looking into possibly using Steam as a platform for deployment. (IM all about that!!!!) I'm not sure about Steam and what it can run on but dropping one of the biggest operating systems out there would be a death move. Most kids get games and start off the long and lonely life of being addicted to games by using the mom and dad's PC (9.9 out of 10 times comes with Windows. Trust me I know, I have broken my parents PC 50+ times a long time ago trying to get games to work on their pc. Once someone gets hooked then they will buy more from a company, but if they have windows and can't play PR2 then they would be screwed. They might not even ever hear about it.

LOL. I Said that I wish to dump windows. Not that PR2 should not run on windows. That would be dumb. I just wish for PR2 to run on Linux as well as Windows. I Am sure it can be done. It's just a matter of if the DEV team are willing to put the extra workload in for it. Linux can play games. Just not many developers out there doing it.

Oh, I guess I'm reading that wrong.... sorry. I would also like to see Linux run more games too. In the web programing and pc server worl where 80% of pc gameing geeks end up Linux rules (though Im not a fan of it). Adding better support for Linux would be a +. Is it possable to add in Apple though? can an apple pc play on the same game as a PC?

I second that!

I would be glad if there would be an apple version out there <3 Means I wont have to switch over to my bootcamp partition

Orthas · 08-10-2009, 10:11 PM

I fully endorse this suggestion. Mac version would be full of awesome. And more the merrier so if possible by engine, get linux done as well.

Robbi · 08-10-2009, 10:43 PM

Do any of you actually realise how hard it is going to be to just get it working on windows?!

The workload these guys are taking on is SO much more than what they do now, and to ask for a version to run on a system that 95% of the players playing it don't run is a little naive. Their is a reason that people dont develop games for *nix based systems, and that is, apart from maybe Macs, nobody uses them enough day to day to warrant the money and time spent developing it.

I'll tell you now, PR2 is going to be hard enough codeing from the ground up, in completely new territory for most of the DEVs involved, so to ask for a ported version to an obsolete gaming OS is slightly amusing

The game is going to be Indy enough, but id say a *nix version is far to Indy for even this
