64-Bit Gaming Oversold to Consumers

Posted by Zonk on from the not-even-the-bag-of-potato-chips dept.

Ryan Shrout writes "Recently AMD and Atari have both been promoting the game "Shadow Ops: Red Mercury" as the first 64-bit game to hit retail shelves. Even without an operating system ready for it, both companies want us to believe that the 64-bit version of the game adds a large amount of detail and visual quality that the 32-bit version just can't handle. PC Perspective decided to go buy the game and test those claims."

    I don't WANT to use an Apple anything as a desktop either. So I guess by your logic that doesn't count either.

    Has Atari heard of Unreal Tournament 2004? Gosh, I hope they have! They published it! It's front-and-center on their site, and listed as the "Hottest Game"!

    Or did you mean someone else?
