Shadow Warrior 2 is certainly looking great, and this new video has nailed the need for me to own it when it's released. They also probably have the best website address "http://whowantssome.wang/"
Looks like it has everything I need in an action game. Great visuals, some comedy, a nice assortment of weapons and abilities and a Linux version.
About the game
Shadow Warrior 2 is the stunning evolution of Flying Wild Hog’s offbeat first-person shooter following the further misadventures of former corporate shogun Lo Wang. Now surviving as a reclusive mercenary on the edge of a corrupted world, the formidable warrior must again wield a devastating combination of guns, blades, magic and wit to strike down the demonic legions overwhelming the world. Battle alongside allies online in four-player co-op or go it alone in spectacular procedurally-generated landscapes to complete daring missions and collect powerful new weapons, armour, and arcane relics of legend.

Oh hell to the yes. I've been waiting for this since I finished the first one. Absolutely incredible game.

If you have AMD and want good performance and 4k capabilities then Vulkan will pretty much be the only way to obtain it for future games under Linux.
To put in perspective the real world performance of a AMD R9 390x and a older but nice looking game called Warthunder, with AMDGPU drivers (this is their main ones) I get 20-30fps on low-medium settings at 3840x2160 resolution, It also fails to render some effects like grass. NOW when I had my GTX980 I got 55-80fps on HIGH-MAX graphics settings with grass no problems at 4k! (that's like 9months ago now).
Benchmarks have shown that AMD cards can keep up with NVIDIA cards when it comes to Vulkan performance (requires yet to be fully release AMDGPU-PRO driver), so unless AMD does some MAJOR changes to their OpenGL driver framework then I doubt even their 22-24TeraFlop Polaris cards will do well with OpenGL for many games I play (which all seem to not work well with AMD drivers) -TO LIST A FEW-> Ark/ARMA3/Warthunder/ShadowOfM
If your interested in running finely optimized benchmarks like OpenArena/Tesseract/Xonotic/GPUTest then the AMDGPU drivers will do reasonably well.
PS. Shadow Warrior 1 runs OK at 4k with AMD hardware, hopefully SW2 is also just as good but I won't hold my breath!

The co-op will be glorious. I hope they have combo moves like two players do the slash projectile move and when they cross a tornado is made.
