Shadow Warrior 2 was quite a surprise to be confirmed for Linux, especially after we only gained the first instalment recently. Thanks to E3, some gameplay videos have surfaced that makes it looks crazy good.

I have to say, it does look really good, and there's another one below:

What do you think, will you be grabbing it? Will be a day-1 purchase for me!
It's good to see us getting some real high quality first-person experiences. I know people love to disagree on it, but FPS games pretty much drive sales, so to have this on Linux/SteamOS is going to be good for us. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: GuestHaven’t finished Shadow Warrior 1 yet, probably won’t buy that one. Too basic… just follow the corridor and kill the enemies…Funny, because at least this game actually encourages some level of exploration and deviation from path unlike most modern shooters, and allows for some ancillary actions.
Quoting: tony1abFolks. How is the performance of the first game for you? ... amd r9 260x. core i7 2990. 16 gig ram ... Funny thing is, If i swicht settings to high I have 23 fps. If I switch to medium, i have 23 fps. And if I switch to low, I have 23 fps...Radeon HD 5670. AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE. 4 GB of RAM. r600g. And I am still getting on average more frames than you. :|
Main issue for me is the variance in frame-rate, as in some places I can peak at over 100 FPS with vsync turned off and in other places I can get frames in the high-teens. The mode average would be around 30 FPS for me though, which is perfectly playable.
I can confirm that quality settings do not make much of a difference for me as well though.

Quoting: GuestQuoting: tony1abFolks. How is the performance of the first game for you?Between 70 and 110 FPS (in the town with no enemies) on "ultra" with fxaa in 1920×1200. Core i5 4690K, GTX 660, nvidia 349.16, Xfce.
amd r9 260x. core i7 2990. 16 gig ram.
Perhaps it’s slow for you because your CPU does not exist ;-).
Edit: have you tried the latest Catalyst 15.5? It is said to improve some games significantly.
Fixed. Its a corei7 2600.
Yes. I'm with latest drivers.

I have same pc with 2 partitions.
amd r9 260x. core i7 2600. 16 gig ram.
With my win 7 partition I have 57fps. Everything in ultra settings. Latest amd drivers.
With my ubuntu partition I have 23 (unplayable). Latest amd drivers. (and tested on ubuntu 14.04, and upgraded to 15.04 to see if that was the reason...no luck)
Funny thing is, If i swicht settings to high I have 23 fps. If I switch to medium, i have 23 fps. And if I switch to low, I have 23 fps...
Yes, no matter who settings I choose. Always 23.
Other games in Ubuntu performs ok. I think this company leave linux market as a secondary thing, and doesnt bother our performance. If they do that to us, I think is not right to support them.
I usually get over 100fps with everything maxed at 1920x1200 here. i7 2600k @ 4.4GHz, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 970 (using proprietary drivers), Linux Mint 17.1 KDE

Pretty much the same here. Got Shadow Warrior with a Humble Bundle. I was never interested in the game
+1
I gifted away my humble bundle copy.

Still says Windows only on GOG. I'll breathe easier once that changes to Linux.
