where for art thy mac version?

[sambo.]

yet another request for any indication of when we might see a mac-port of UT3. december? january? christmas 2009?

or should i just buy the retail version when it's released and whack Linux on mah mac?

edit for mac-haters: please keep your opinions on the mac vs windows debate to yourselves, or start your own "i hate mac's" thread and vent your spleens there. i feel i am asking a fair question.

[Matfei]

It's too ashamed to show its face... 'Cause its for Mac and all...

(BTW: I think you mean "where for art thou mac version)

[sambo.]

thank you so much for keeping your mac-hateing attitude out of this thread.

(BTW: I think you mean "where for art thou mac version)

i know what i mean.

[ViperGrendal]

can't you just dual boot XP on the mac these days? Just a thought.

Seriously though, haven't heard anything on the mac port. I wouldn't be suprised if it came after or around the 360 port.

[sambo.]

yar, i could bootcamp XP. but if i'm going down that road, i'd rather use a Linux install.

which is kind of my whole point: the guts of OSX (Darwin) is a damn Linux kernal in and of itself. shouldn't be that hard to port.....

[ViperGrendal]

That's true, cause there's supposed to be a linux port soon.

As far as the kernel thing, you could say XP is a NT kernel, but the two OS's are night and day. I have no idea how heavily Apple has modified OSX from it's linux leanings.

[sambo.]

the Darwin core is a linux distro. fully open-source and everyfing.

it's the extra GUI sheisse (cocoa, carbon, quicktime etc) stacked on top thats probably where the differences lie.

He doesn't mean that either. "Wherefore" means "why."

Carry on gents. [/grammar nazi]

It's based on Unix, not Linux.

[UberBone]

History tells us ... "soon". I'd guess on or around the date of the first patch.(2k4 was released for OSX only 15 days after the pc)

Doubt it.

'Where for art thou' - Where are you. Shakespeare used the line in that context.

[UberBone]

Doubt it.

'Where for art thou' - Where are you. Shakespeare used the line in that context.

Yeah, you're wrong.

Wherefore art thou Romeo? means "Why are you Romeo?" i.e. if you weren't you, my family wouldn't hate you and you could bone me all night long.

[Discord 2.0]

Doubt it.

'Where for art thou' - Where are you. Shakespeare used the line in that context.

You are incorrect sir. Note that the next line is "renounce thy name" not "why are you hiding" or whatever.

carry on gents.

Blegh. Touche.

One's only a little less tedious.

BTW is it confirmed that Icculus is doing the port again or not? I'm kind of out of touch with the Mac scene at this point -- most of my remaining Mac buddies have gone console.

[DS3]

You better too. Mac is not for games... Its for... erm... WORK. ROFL.
Nice deal i see. Buy a Mac which costs twice as new gaming PC just "cos its MAC"(To use it as typewriter and media center) and buy PS3 or XBox with it to play. Neat... And yes. You gotta need big TV for console too.
Or you could always dual boot to some pirated s***t or use BootCrap to play games that 3 years old. Like HL2. I don't think that BC supports DX10 or PhysX.
No offense, Mac users.

[sambo.]

Yeah, you're wrong.

Wherefore art thou Romeo? means "Why are you Romeo?" i.e. if you weren't you, my family wouldn't hate you and you could bone me all night long.

just to nitpick further....

i said Where For, NOT wherefore.

but i s'pose "thou" is the appropriate word not thy.

meh, you lot know what i mean, so i've successfully "communicated".

BTW is it confirmed that Icculus is doing the port again or not?

afaik: yes, icculus is the name that keeps getting bandied about.

i'd just like some indication of when it might actually arrive...... i'll prolly need more RAM too....

I'm kind of out of touch with the Mac scene at this point -- most of my remaining Mac buddies have gone console.

hehe, at least theres one thing most gamers would agree on, regardless of mac/windows affiliation: keyboard+mouse > console....

It's based on Unix, not Linux.

meh, it's based on an open-source unix kernal.

says so right in that link you gave.

^my first post, and still the most relevant of the thread so far
<edit> "relevant to the thread so far" ... damn this was the wrong the thread to screw up like that

[Ultron]

IIRC, OSX was based off of FreeBSD, not Linux. Linus Torvald was very critical of the kernal of the OSX kernal at one time, though I think that was a kneejerk reaction on his part.

BTW, I'm an Apple-certified technician, and I used OSX server as my OS for a Mac server, as the chief Mac Tech for a large university. We were given it for free by Apple for testing, and it was pretty stable. I literally never had to reboot it due to a technical problem.

zomg, a perinent post and i didn't even notice

cheers!

Aye. If we're to be exact about the kernel, OSX uses the XNU kernel, which is the Mach Microkernel with a BSD subsystem bolted on (so that it's no longer a microkernel). And of course the userland is also BSD. (freeBSD as you state IIRC).

I'm personally looking forward to the Linux port, but OSX port would be nice as well. Come on Ryan!

[sambo.]

shameless bump seeking answer to the question: WHEN might i see a mac version of UT3??

[Skill]

I wouldn't be suprised if it came after or around the 360 port.

I would, as I've heard the 360 one is taking the lowest priority. im thinking mac by the time ps3 is out (hopefully December, maybe January)

[sambo.]

yet another shamless BUMP.

c'mon, gimme a credible answer!

[GG-Xtreme]

yet another shamless BUMP.

c'mon, gimme a credible answer!

The only 'credible' answer is: get Windows.

[sambo.]

why would i want to do something that dumb?

[fif]

The Mac version will come along as soon as the people who port the Mac version have finished porting it. Which Mac are you going to run UT3 on?

[sambo.]

2gig iMac G5.

i'l upgrade the ram to at least 1.5gig.

[fif]

2gig iMac G5.

i'l upgrade the ram to at least 1.5gig.

Wow you're going to try playing UT3 with a G5 iMac? Good luck I guess. My iMac G5 had to be replaced because of IBM's crappy processors. I hope the game is ported well enough for your old ATI card.

I use a Core 2 Duo iMac for work and stuff but would never bother trying UT3 on it...

[sambo.]

i may have to turn the eye-candy down a little, but it should run ok.

[=Uff-da=]

yea, I would think the G5 2Ghz would run it O.K. with modest settings... that is, as long as Ryan is doing a Universal Binary... something else we don't know about the secret double secret port to Mac.

Donovan - stoked for the PCers tomorrow!... but will be waiting (not so) patiently for the Mac port.

[=Uff-da=]

^my first post, and still the most relevant of the thread so far

Was it really only 15 days? I seem to remember it seeming to be a long arse time...

Donovan

[Hedge-o-Matic]

(BTW: I think you mean "where for art thou mac version)

Actually, "Wherefore art thou" is asking who someone is, not where they are. Like saying "Where do you stand?" means how do you feel about something, not where you actually stand.

But, on topic, Macs suck!

why do windoze users have to turn ANY thread thateven MENTIONS a mac into a mac vs windows debate.

ffs, it's been goin on for years and some inbred little twerp making some unthought-out, ignorant comments on a forum isn't going to change anybodies mind about their OS of choice.

GET OVER IT.

back to the ACTUAL topic, when is the mac port due to be done?

[UberBone]

Yeah 15 days ...

not proof exactly .. but some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_...elease_history

Well, because when you are beat down repetitively, not unlike how Hedge-o-Matic was by me in the pre-UT3 version/s, you tend to get a chip on your shoulder. ;-)

- Uff-da!

Donovan - Oh, and Hedge, if you wanna test that... name the place / time.
