Feral Interactive are teasing our minds with a new clue for a Linux & Mac port to come. It's time to get your thinking caps on.

Here's their new clue in the Very Soon section:

"808 SB12S" is the clue.

As usual, I will leave it up to you lot who are way better than I am at decrypting Feral's teasers.

Feral sure do have quite a few games coming out this year for us, exciting. I just hope they continue to work on previous ports like XCOM 2 and Tomb Raider which aren't quite up to scratch. We are already behind on the recent XCOM 2 patch and DLC, so it's time for them to up their game. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: dmantioneVolition now have a relation with Virtual Programming, so it would not make a lot of sense that Feral would do such a port.
I don’t think Volition had anything to do with the Linux ports; Saints Row was published by Deep Silver

Volition didn't do the work, but comments on the Steam forums indicate that people from Volition and Virtual Programming are in close contact with each other. Based on what I read there I also conclude that Volition and not the publishers own the rights to these games.

Volition developed Saints Row and Red Faction games, but when the publisher, THQ, went belly-up, they sold off the rights of Saints Row to Deep Silver and sold Red Faction rights to Nordic Games. Nordic promised a lot of Linux ports like Darksiders, which they have yet to deliver. I even saw Red Faction: Guerrilla mentioned once, but they seem incapable of following through.

Sometimes, the enigma is better than the game itself

And now a hundred comments ! :-D
I hope it is Doom because of what it could mean with Bethesda starting to edit on Linux. Plus the game seems really good :-)

I hope it is DOOM. Really want to play that game.

I just took a look on the radar and have to say:
If this teaser is not about DOOM and Drifting Snows is not about DIRT: Rally, then I don't want to have teasers anymore. I don't like to be disappointed and I will treat other titles as disappointment.

What's more - teasers are fine if they are about titles to be released in future. But I consider "Very Soon" section as very near future. Very near future should be about titles, so I would know if I should prepare some money for them.

Quoting: wvstolzingAlso, few people know this, but one of John Carmack's many talents is that he's a virtuoso trumpet player -- and his favorite instrument happens to be the 'System Blue 12S; or the SB12S'

So, discussion over, I believe?
Trumpet you say?


Also, the main thing holding a potential port of DOOM back, would be the use of the Denuvo DRM system, but apparently Total War: Warhammer is also using Denuvo and that game is coming to Linux, so that reason may be out the window :)

Denuvo was not in the Doom beta either. If it could be added at a later stage, it can easily be removed later. It's just a matter of permissions and other solutions.

Seriously hoping for Doom too.

The problem with removing Denuvo instead of porting it is that I don't think Zenimax would ever allow it.
