It’s at a 2004 resolution at sub 2004 FPS and the title is clickbait claiming it “runs”, sorry but 28 FPS isn’t considered playable in my book. I’m just not as impressed by that as people pretend I should be. They should have waited and at least gotten a solid 60 before this should’ve been shown off. The sad state of the Apple (and Microsoft too) reverse engineering scene has been obliterated by lawsuits and this whole Asahi Linux thing is a fluke that someone hadn’t got shut down yet. It actually saddens me what shambles the Apple RE’ing scene is for it to be taking this long to achieve only this meager level of support. Seemingly only 2 or 3 people in the world are working on this? For the most powerful laptops in the world?
The title never claims that it's playable, just that it runs.
That said, I've played many games at <30 fps and low resolution in the past, due to not being able to buy the latest & greatest hardware - it's perfectly playable, even if not an ideal experience.
Of course, it's different here - the hardware is more than capable. But do you expect them to jump from nothing to smooth 60 fps full resolution with nothing in between? Maybe a post like this will motivate more people to join development, as opposed to waiting until it's perfect.
My dude, the first 50 years of gaming struggled to reach 24 fps, 24fps is the framerate of the film industry we've only recently had access to 4k60fps in the last few years.
