Feral Interactive Have Something Up Their Sleeve For Tomorrow

By - | Views: 35,273
Tomorrow isn't just my birthday, it's also the day Feral Interactive seem to have something "special" planned for Linux & Mac gamers.

Hi Mac gamers. Hi Linux gamers. Do you think something special might happen tomorrow?

— Feral Interactive (@feralgames) July 29, 2015



Feral Interactive have a lot of ports lined up, and with Mordor being a little behind schedule it could very well be that! What an amazing birthday present that would be!

I have no idea though, as no one from Feral has given us access to anything, so we will have to wait and see.

What do you think it is? The hype train is real.

Update: Checking their Feral Radar, it seems Mordor has been pushed back into the "Soon" column rather than "Very Soon", so we doubt it is Mordor.

The "Depth Charge" clue is now in the Very Soon column, so it looks like it may be whatever that clue is. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

We have said stuff: mainly thank you for being so patient, because it really is appreciated. We can't really go into deets, though. Stay tuned, and all that. Stay tuned.
That really makes you wonder. If he can't go into details then it almost makes it sound like the delay is business related rather than technical, because surely they'd be able to tell us if it was a technical issue.

Why do you think details of technical issues is something they like to share?
This is not my experience.

For example, I as an AMD user, would really like to get some detailed information about Catalyst-specific issues. As you might know it's mainly a performance thing. Kind of: "this GL-function gives us headaches, because it behaves like <issue-here> and not as expected <short-description-here>".

Imho, this would be really interesting to get a good idea of issues with the porting process and what's actually going wrong with Catalyst. But from my experience companies do not want to share this kind of information. :(

Looks like "Depth Charge" has moved back to "Soon", and Shadow of Mordor and Company of Heroes 2 are both fully visible in "Very Soon". Could we be getting a two for one announcement? :o

Edit: Happy Liam, birthday! :P

More likely it's AMD that does not want these details public. Software developers generally do not want to piss off HW manufacturers, at least if they need their support or driver bugs fixed.

Well, I'd say there's nothing to lose for developers and porters to share their experience in detail.
If AMD would be able to put them under pressure - by means of not helping quickly to solve issues - I would agree with you. But since we know this is not happening, obviously...

The fact that he says that he can't give details is what makes me think there is some contractual gag in place. Otherwise, why couldn't they just say what's causing the delays? Even something as simple as "It has taken us longer to optimize than anticipated" would suffice as an explanation.

Happy Birthday Liam :)

Or maybe it is a super surprise and we get more than one game :D
Shadows of Mordor or Alien Isolation would be cool.

Quoting: EikeOk, now I understand what you meant. I was thinking of Shadow of Mordor, which has been officially announced for Linux. But it seems you were talking more generally about ports.

That does make a huge difference. I guess we were on two totally different streams of thought weren't we? :)

That's encouraging.
