Looks like the 2013 game Tomb Raider is heading to SteamOS & Linux according to new information popping up on SteamDB.
I'm actually a big fan of the game, as I played it when it came out on PS3, but sadly I never got to finish it for various reasons. Being able to do so on my favourite system, that's bloody brilliant.
I wonder who's doing the port? Any guesses folks?
About this game (Official)
Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a young woman to a hardened survivor. Armed only with raw instincts and the ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Lara must fight to unravel the dark history of a forgotten island to escape its relentless hold. Download the Turning Point trailer to see the beginning of Lara’s epic adventure. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: GuestTruth be told I'd much rather have the original tomb raider series ported.OpenTomb ?
Looks like the projects bearing some fruit: View video on youtube.com
I personally haven't touched tomb raider since I was like 9 years old back in the PS1 days so I don't know what the new series is even like.

I doubt that RotTR will also be ported any time soon. This game is protected by DENUVO.

Quoting: MGOid- I'm playing Grid Autosport and really appreciate Feral position related to non Nvidia users: "officially we don't support, by you can play anyway". Hope they fix the split-screen thought.
Thanks we do spend a lot of time on trying to support all 3 vendors were possible.
Split screen is a bug in Mesa from our initial research, once it's fixed in the drivers the game will start to work. Mesa drivers are developing quickly but they do have missing features and bugs and some of them you can't workaround and just need to wait for a fix.
However if we can find a way to work round the issue for mesa then we will.
Quoting: MGOid-And supporting all gamepads, not only the 360 one.
We support pretty much any pad that has SDL support, this is true of all our games not just GRID. So feel free to use any other pads if you want I know we do in development as do other Linux gamers. :)
[EDIT] MGOid admitted in a subsequent post that pad support in GRID does support other pads as he is using an Xbox One pad. I guess MGOid just accidentally left the comment about pad support in the Feral section of his comment by mistake! :)

Quoting: GuestFirst I thought this was great news, and then I watched some gameplay and read the negative reviews on Steam… Camera moves by itself to take annoying angles, many QTEs (for which you probably need a gamepad), many cutscenes. Exactly what I hated in Mordor.
Hopefully they port Dishonored 2 next…
as far as QTE goes, in TR they worked much better with keyboard than controller. and of those only 5 are bad since they completely fucked up gamepad part there where you couldn't pass trough it if you had even a bit worn controller.
but, when you use QTE on kbd, it doesn't show key which you need to press. it showed symbolic icon for action and this pissed a lot of people

Fantastic game. Also the LAST one I ever played (and finished) on Windows. I think I'll do it again on Linux, just to enjoy the wonderful scenery.

I finished Tomb Raider 2013 back in Jan 2014 under Wine. I wish they would focus on porting games that *don't* work great under Wine, like the new Tomb Raider. :(

Hey, thanks for the response. I wish more developers (I'm looking at you Unity) embraced SDL2, controller support in it is great (hotplug during gamelplay FTW!). Glad to learn that split screen is just a driver issue.
And one more time, thanks again for not turn your back to the AMD/Intel customers, like some other porters do. Mesa drivers are the better experience for the AMD owners (and the only one for Intel) and the opensource driver is the future for us, so, glad to know you guys support it, even if it is in a unofficially way.

Screw that. I'd rather they focus on porting good games and "Linux gamers" stop buying non-Linux games in the first damn place.

This was the last ever Windows games I bought, would be nice to play on Linux. Would have to buy the DLC to support the porter.
