Feral Interactive are up to their usual funny business with a brand new Linux port teaser up on their radar.
This is now the second unannounced Linux game they're teasing (here's the other), so I can't wait to see what they have cooked up for us. The last teaser was put up a good few months ago now, so hopefully at least one of them will release soon. They're both in the outermost part of the radar, so they could still be a while away. We don't really know what "Quite Soon" actually means, it could end up being tomorrow, a week or more.
Anyway…here's the latest teaser from their port radar:
"It's just a shot away"
Begin the guessing games! What do you think this be? Exciting! I'm sure these won't be the only titles this year too, let's see if they can truly surprise us.

Just going to wait for them to tell us -_-
It'd be nice to know if whatever they are, will drop before the end of the year too :D

Quoting: CimerydNo! Forget it! I'm refusing to get my hopes up again. Blizzard will never support Linux, and with how they are actively phasing out DX9 support I suspect they just hate me at this point.If they get rid of old code it will be easier to port. Also it is a little bit
of hope in there too. Wine is not done yet with dx11 support by far yet and neither is dxvk. So it woukd come in handy if feral did it.

So, was there ever a game done for the SF show Babylon 5? Because that's what "Garibaldi" means to me.

Quoting: wvstolzingBad performance isn't Linux issue. Windows game have bad performance too. In this case:Quoting: MohandevirNot against that idea if it helps AAA studios to consider à Linux release.
Me neither; though one thing to keep in mind is that without almost complete feature & performance parity with windoze, Linux-only sales would end up generating quite a bit of resentment. Nowadays, Windows licences are nowhere as expensive as they used to be; if you're a student (at least in the US), they push the damn thing on you for free anyhow (that's how I got my several perpetual [not tied to student status; valid after graduation] licenses); and people getting their windoze pcs pre-built don't even realize that they're paying for the OEM license -- that being the case, being platform-locked *on the same hardware* that could run *the same game* better at little to no extra cost would be perceived as a pretty unfair deal, by someone who isn't already a Linux user/supporter for gaming-independent reasons.
People won't pay for it -> they won't make crappy games -> all win. (well except thouse who do bad games)

That's not what I'm talking about; I'm talking about performance *disparity*, and for *some* titles, it *does* exist.
As to whether this is a serious problem or not: To people who are *already* committed Linux users, it may not be a big deal; but we can't deny that it could be a serious deterrent for people whose #1 concern in building a desktop pc is gaming.

I wish Feral would stop these teases and instead would plainly announce what games they've acquired the rights to port. The sooner, the better. In fact, if possible *before* the windows release date. This will make sure that linux gamers who want to play a particular game can hold off on the purchase until the game is released on linux. I have 4-5 games that I had no inkling would ever get a linux port and bought them on windows. Had I known, I would have waited and given Feral my money.
Feral, if you're reading this, please reconsider your PR strategy.

Quoting: GuestAlso, HTC Vive and Fallout 4 VR, with the original game (neither on Mac nor Linux) as a consolation perhaps? If profit is the motive, there's a lot of untapped customers out there for this installment.
Quoting: evergreenIf it is a spoiled cracker, than it will be a post apocaliptic survival game.
Yes, yes. Keep the dream alive. What do we have, if not our dreams!

Yep! Or give a headstart for the guessing game that many seems to like and, a week or 2 later, reveal the solution to the enigma.
