txa1265 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Aspyr Media has announced that they are porting Jedi Academy to the Mac. Check the link here. The port is being done by uber-porter Brad Oliver of Westlake, is in beta, and is expected by the end of the year or early 2004. Aspyr & Westlake brought Jedi Outcast to the Mac last year. Enjoy ... Mike [remember: if you have no Mac, don't like the Mac, or just generally want to be a troll ... go elsewhere.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 The only question have ... how many times will I have played through the SP game on my PC before I play it on my Mac ... Oh - I realized I mis-spoke. Brad Oliver left Westlake last month to move to Aspyr. This is entirely an Aspyr deal. Whsi - so long as Brad is doing it - sounds great to me.

Astrotoy7 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 wow, Mac geeks are gettin JA........so emotional.... I wish framerate problems on you all !!!!! .....no, seriously, i wonder if the whole dynamic glow conundrum will transfer over to Mac as well ??? **goes off and downloads "switch" clip from http://www.redvsblue.com/appleswitch.shtml ...** ...ah, so funny, so true..... I love it when he said its great when you can play the new games on the mac, after you'd played them on the PC about 5 or 6 years ago....... as Kurgan says, "more power to you" - hope you guys get JA this side of Xmas !!

MTFBWYA Actually, I anticipate that - like with Jedi Outcast - it will run *better* than on the PC. The latest patches will be in place, and OpenGL is much better on the MacOS than Windows. The only concern I have is that my Powerbook is ATI based, whereas my Dell is nVidia. While the performance of the ATI Mobility is better (at least as compared by ExtremeTech), most of the problems I've heard about here are ATI related ... but hopefully are more DirectX related and/or have been fixed in the patch. That was the least flame/troll/useless of your posts on the recent series of Mac threads ... maybe you're maturing. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I know Mike, sorry man, I'm usually quite purposeful in all I write, but throughout my childhood I used those bizarre apple computers at school, starting from way back in the mid 80s. Sitting through hours of reading and math programs has taken its toll... But, yes, im sure many probs would have been ironed out for the mac port, perhaps even the ATI probs. My friend runs a super gaming computer and cant even get JA to run on his with the radeon card, keeps getting openGL error messages, poor bugger I find it really amusing because he really brags about his computer, 3ghz, 1 gig Ram, 256mb graphics..... as far as JA is concerned it is a paperweight...

Astrotoy7 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I think it was VERY CLEVER on LAs part to delay the release of the PC version of KOTOR, as to optimise JAs exposure.... I cant wait for KOTOR either MTFBWYA Has KOTOR been anounced for the mac ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Nothing I've heard for KotOR on Mac ... but we can hope. Regardless of what OS you prefer, the Powerbooks are so much more elegant than any other laptop I've ever owned. I'd rather not be lugging around this 8 pound Dell with the big 130W brick power supply to get performance ... much rather the 5.5 pound powerbook with the tiny supply ...

I found the 17" too big, and the 12" doesn't have the 'umph' for gaming (at least the 1st version). Um ... except that I played NWN on it ...

Astrotoy7 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 my toshiba satellite 5200 is on the heavier side but it comes with all the bells n whistles. The harman/kardon speakers it has are quite heavy, but then you get that great sound.... I dont need to lug it around all day, but it is much more portable than my freakin desktop monster ! I have used powerbooks before, yes they are lighter, but as are some of newer notebooks. MTFBWYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 I have a nice little Dell Latitude D400, but it has a wimpy graphics chip ... The basic problem is that we want everything in a nice small package that is superpowered ... and it doesn't exist. Oh well, I'll buy another Mac and PC laptop next year ... someone has to keep the economy pumping ... ... but first I have to go buy Deus Ex 2, NWN: Hordes of the UnderDark and Flight of the Falcon for my PC, Mac and GBA ...

Somehow I picture ppl who use a mac as being more clever than most,,,,I dont know why..., I wonder if there are as many MP hotheads just revvin' to 'own' lamers over the world once JA graces the Mac ??

I just wonder, why is it that people who are not just non-Mac owners, but anti-Mac trolls, and drawn to these threads ... self esteem issues? Play the bully? Make yourself feel superior or more important? A computer is a computer ... if it plays the game you want to play, great. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
