The 100% truth is we're still evaluating which games we're making Universal. The ones we are certain of are Doom 3 (released), Sims 2/University/Nightlife (soon) and Spiderman 2/Shrek 2 (released). High possibilities include Civ 3 Complete, Star Wars KOTOR & Jedi Academy. Others we are looking at but haven't decided include RCT3, SimCity, Call of Duty, and about a dozen other games. No game has been ruled out by Aspyr, and I'm the person who makes that final decision.

I'm happy to hear that you guys are considering some of these other titles. I'm actually holding off on playing RCT3 on my new machine anymore until an UB update becomes available. I wouldn't expect, although I would love it, SimCity 4. Main reason I buy games from Aspyr is because I have always felt that quality was important to them and that they listen to the gamers. Keep em coming.

it would make the obsessive call of duty fan boy inside of me very happy if you do make CoD universal binary.

Wouldn't games that can't even run well on an Intel Mac be the first to get ported?

Yes, that is our priority. So far most everything runs, but some just don't run very well. So those will get higher priority.

I'm planning to buy RTC3 after the UB update is released. I would not want to play it on my new box if it doesn't run that well. I'm cool with waiting a bit.

Really? It runs fine for you? It's sloooow on my MacBook Pro 2.0 with 2GB of memory. Rotating in the game can take up to 3-5 seconds at time. And, the UI is painfully slow. It takes so long, you left there thinking the game crashed.
It was slow at times on my PB 1.67, but but very playable. But, now I won't or can't even play it. Although laptops aren't considered true gaming machines, I still think the MacBook Pro should be able to handle this game just fine. Just need the UB.
So, for now still...wait

I'm not trying to sound like I am complaining, and I don't want all the developers to have to stop what they are doing just to answer these questions... but sometimes they act like it's a big secret or something.

Look... like I said in the original post... I'm not trying to sound like I am complaining. I'm sorry that it comes off that way. I just don't understand why they can't talk about anything. Aspyr was the one to bring the original game, why wouldn't they bring the expansions if they were coming out? It's not like it's some big top secret story here.
Again, I'm sorry to complain... you can just save the flamming because I can already feel it coming. But just about everyone here can't say they are not a little upset by how much longer it takes for these games to be released on a mac. I mean it's ridiculous that these games take a year before they come out. I'm not blaming the mac porters either, I know it's not their fault and I know they are worried now that boot camp is here. Why would someone want to wait a year or more on a game when they can just run it under windows when it comes out. I guess I'm just saying that either the original publishers need to allow companies like Aspyr to announce things earlier or they need to get the games to the mac porters faster.

When a UB game is ported will most of them be free like so many games when OSX came out?
A game like this there is no way i would buy a UB version of it if i already owned it for PPC. Im glad to hear so many games are being ported to UB but i must admit that even when i do go with an Intel Mac right away i wont be replacing many games at all unless the UB port is free. I have a hard time purchasing something twice. I was the same way for when OSX came out.
I find my self not purchasing a lot of software for this reason.
