It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

By - | Views: 79,534

Feral Interactive, the absolute monster when it comes to big Linux game ports is asking what you want to see again.

You all know Feral by now, they've ported HITMAN, F1 2017, Mad Max, Dawn of War III, Life is Strange, XCOM, XCOM 2, DiRT Rally and many more seriously good games to Linux. On top of that, they still have an existing teaser up that they haven't yet announced, all we know is that it's coming to Linux.

On Twitter, they asked this recently:

It’s a New Year full of new possibilities! If you could only have one new game for macOS, Linux or mobile in 2018, which one would it be? And why? We can’t promise that your dreams will come true, but the best answers will star in our email newsletter.

Naturally, Feral lurk in our comments, so feel free to post here as well as I'm sure they will be taking note. 

For me personally, I would like a new open-world game that I can travel around and sink plenty of hours into. Something to allow time to fade away and forget about all lifes problems.

So—what do you want Feral to bring to Linux next?

The Witcher 3. It's probably the best RPG ever. What more to say?! Linux gaming badly needs it. I don't care if they have to remove some features like HairWorks stuff. It would be sad, but it's not the main reason to play the game. It's awesome anyway.

Edit: Typo. HairFX to HairWorks.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
It´s an highly demanded game (see Steam Charts). It also would be a big gain for linux-gaming at all.

GTA V.
We need a "Killer-AAA-Game" for Linux. And GTA V would be one.

Tekken 7, Skyrim SE and Fallout 4. No other reasoning but personal preference (+ the infinite playtime one can invest in those three). I would also like to see all those promised ports that never came to be, like Witcher 3, happen. Dark Souls, no matter if it's remastered or III, giev. If I had to pick one, it would be Skyrim.

Skyrim.

Ok. I know. Beth games are about as likely to happen as world peace.

More realistic choice:

Rise of the Tomb Raider. Don't even ask me why that's not ported yet.

Fortnite's battle royale is picking up a lot of steam, so getting it on Linux while it's still on the rise would be a good choice. And probably a better chance that the devs for that will show interest in a port.

Quoting: Feral InteractiveIf you could only have one new game for macOS, Linux or mobile in 2018, which one would it be?

Realistically, I'd have to pick a game from one of the publishers that Feral already works with. This excludes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, given CD Projekt's The Witcher 2 was ported by Virtual Programming et al. From the publishers that Feral actually works with (2K, SEGA, Warner Bros., Codemasters or Square Enix), I'd pick one of the Batman games, Batman: Arkham City or Batman: Arkham Asylum.

A smarter pick might be something from a big publisher that Feral is not yet working with. Then, if a first game works out, other titles from that new publisher could potentially arrive for Linux. I'll ignore games that aren't on Windows (Bloodborne, The Last of Us, Journey, Red Dead Redemption, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves). My pick would then be Skyrim, because then Linux has a link with publisher Bethesda, which means their other games (e.g. Fallout 3) are also more likely to arrive. By the same reasoning, smart picks might be stuff from EA (e.g. Mass Effect 3 (and 2) or Dead Space), Ubisoft (e.g. Assassin's Creed II) and Bandai Namco (e.g. Dark Souls).

Quoting: Feral InteractiveAnd why?

For the Batman games: Feral is already in touch with the publisher, the games have gotten good reviews from both critics and gamers, Linux is relatively short on AAA games, it's a well-known brand/hero, and they look like games I'd enjoy playing.

For Skyrim: Feral might be a big enough player to persuade Bethesda to allow porting to Linux, it would open the door for having Fallout 4 and other future Creation Engine games on Linux, the game received critical acclaim, it's on everything (including Nintendo Switch) so let's add Linux (and macOS) to the list, and I'm ready to play another open world game.

Just give us Skyrim already, man. Or how about a native port of Doom 2016. Of course both of those are Bethesda games, so we're probably still out of luck.

Oh, and the Batman Arkham series, or at least the first two, which are the best ones in the series anyway.

Grim Dawn: awesome ARPG that takes me back to my Diablo days :-)
Shadow Warrior 2: because the first one was so much fun.

My wishlist would be some game that I could play multiplayer with friends, or some of the ultimate pc title, which make the best use of hardware, and also have good narration behind it:
Solo:
-Witcher 3
-GTA V
-NieR Automata
-Shadow Warrior 2
-Half Life 3 (just kidding)
-Rayman Origins & Legends
-Prince of Persia trilogy mac & linux

Multi:
-Age of Empires 2, age of empires 1 DE & Age of Empires 4
-Rainbow Six Siege
-Quake Champions
-PUGB
-Killing Floor 2

GTA V would be nice, it's so boring waiting for wine to improve
