What game would you most like to see on Linux this year?

By - | Views: 58,551
It's question time again, don't you love it? This time I want to ask you a simple question "What game would you most like to see on Linux this year?"

Personally, I would like to see another big game like XCOM 2 have a same-day Linux release.

As for existing Windows releases, I would love to have Skyrim. A pipe dream for sure, but it would be great to have. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: michaVery much looking forward to Rocket League and Street Fighter V, besides my top wishes are:
* The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
* Dishonored - Game of the Year Edition
* The Wolf Among Us
* Life Is Strange
* Alien Swarm
* Samurai Gunn

Agree with this whole list. And until our replies (mine a few minutes after yours because my left arm was trapped under a cat...), no-one had mentioned Dishonoured! Insane! :-)

EDIT: [Just in case you thought "trapped under a cat" was a euphemism or something...]

Quoting: GuestMore console-style games such as 3D platformers (Banjo-Kazooie, Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, etc)

100% agree, the lack of native 3d performers is one thing that made me lack care for the pc gaming space, that and japanese titles, Mario, Jak and daxter, ratchet and clank, spyro, Sonic the hedgehog they where my childhood, (Sonic I'm a bit to much of a fan off, I obsessed with him when I was between 13-17, and honestly you dont want to know how many hours I'd have spent on Sonic Adventure and Sonic adventure 2 if they came to linux) and many other games of cause, klonoa but thats 2.5d still more then amazing.

Luckily we have Yooka Laylee coming but that'll be out closer to Christmas, but hey, made by the people who made banjo kazooie so it should be great.

For Japanese games, Spike Chunsoft released Danganronpa for Linux, Disgaea 1 for Windows, its just convincing some of these to come to linux but if Spike Chunsoft releases games for Linux and they say its going well I'm sure some others may follow, so while I don't keep strong hope for Disgaea and Nis, I dont give up hope for it.

Quoting: strycoreI'd say Doom but it this is almost guaranteed to work with Wine so I'll go with Dishonored 2 instead.

Fuck that. Needs to be native. There are absolutely no guarantees that it will work with WINE.

Would most like to see on Linux this year:
Hitman (2016)

Would like to play, but not buying any more Windows only games:
GTA 5

Would like to play again or finish playing through on Linux:
Hitman Absolution
GTA 4
Skyrim

Already own these for Windows but my gaming PC now only runs Linux so i've never played them:
RAGE
L.A. Noire
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Crysis
Far Cry 2
Duke Nukem Forever

I couldn't possibly narrow it down to a single game, but I wouldn't mind seeing...
* Blade Kitten;
* The "Dead or Alive" series (any or all of them);
* The "Doom" saga (packed-up for GOG.com or Steam)(all of them);
* Duke Nukem Forever (yep, some people actually enjoyed the game!);
* Jet Set Radio;
* Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude;
* Mortal Kombat Kollection;
* Playboy: The Mansion;
* Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Classics;
* The "Hyperdimension" ( "Neptunia" ) series (any or all of them);
* The "Rebuild" series;
* The Simpsons: Hit & Run;
* The "Wolfenstein" saga (packed-up for GOG.com or Steam)(all of them).

Yep, that should do it!

If those get released for Linux-based operating systems, I'm gonna be a pretty happy man... And a broke one at that! :D

Okay okay, if I had to pick just one out of that particular list?

Hmm, that's tough, but I'd probably go with The Simpsons: Hit & Run...

I'm tempted to say Playboy: The Mansion, Duke Nukem Forever or the Mortal Kombat Kollection, but The Simpsons: Hit & Run was a great game that has widespread appeal, so The Simpsons: Hit & Run would be my top choice.

Quoting: fleskOff the top of my head; Age of Empires II. Might go for something else once I've thought a bit about it though. Maybe Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, or A Hat in Time, though that one's not even released yet.
You might be interested in the OpenAge project. Maybe we'll soon be able to play an AoE II clone natively.

Oh, and how about some decent MMORPGs?

Firefly Online, Star Trek Online or Queens Blade would all be appreciated... And I'd gladly throw money at the if I could play them natively in a Linux-based operating system!

Realistically?

- All the games on this list of Unity games, some of which can already be made to work on Linux: http://seegras.discordia.ch/Blog/windows-unity-games-on-linux/

- All the games that were already ported, but not available on Steam (for Linux) yet.

- The Witcher 3
- KoTOR

Elsewise? Non-realistically?The back catalogue of Bethesda, including all the Elder Scrolls (well for Morrowind an earlier they could release the source under the GPL as well; since openmw has overtaken them anyway), and all the Fallouts.

I saw a few people mention newer EA games but nobody mentioned Origin. Galaxy got a mention too, one thing I would like to see is these clients and Steam come with the ability to download windows games to run through wine!

1. Dark Souls (First one would be enough for me, already played it 5 times or more but would play again)
2. Mass Effect (Especially the third, i liked it most)
3. Lord of the Rings: War in the North (i know bad critics and critically buggy even on windows but i like it)
4. Something like Guild Wars 2
