EA to bring games faster to Mac with Cider |
Ó
Soon, Apple fans waiting for months on end to see big PC games get ported to their platform will be a thing of the past. Electronic Arts, the world's biggest game publisher is cooperating hand in hand with Apple to make porting that much faster.EA COO Bing Gordon was with Apple CEO Steve Jobs as the two announced this exciting development at the Worldwide Developer's Conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco. Big EA game franchises Command & Conquer 3, Battlefield 2142, Need For Speed Carbon and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be the first to ship on the Mac OS X platform followed by Madden NFL 08 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.
To make the porting process easier, an engine called Cider developed by TransGames will be put into use. This will cut the development time significantly and keep Apple units in stride with their Windows counterparts.
TransGaming CEO Vikas Gupta says "traditionally Mac users had to wait to play the latest blockbuster games. "We're thrilled that TransGaming's Cider engine will dramatically decrease the time it will take to bring EA's hit portfolio of games to a thirsty Mac market."

Madden 2007 is!
mac is wac no matter what you do with it play madden on a mac get real if it couldnt play madden b4 why bother apple and steve jobs only hope is to start selling iphones at a buck a piece then he might start collecting off what he lost allready
I barely even know what you are saying. It's something called periods. I think you are posting a flame towards apple? If what I am reading from your comment is what I think it says, Apple and EA (as well as id) have confirmed they are starting to bring back games to the Mac platform. If you have a problem with that, then I suggest you shut up and continue your buggy Vista computer. Oh, and by the way, that iPhone comment does not even make sense.
typical apple customer stupidity what i said about iphone is that the only way apple steve job or any bubba gump shrimp will recover money they have lost so far is to sell there icraphone for 1 us dollar each nobody could be stupid enuff to pay more but then again some people buy apple and i quote "some" i wouldnt expect anyone who buys apple to understand you just proved yourself stupid i dont used periods cause im not female periods are for apple users at a certain time of the month your periods happen every day
