Quoting: ShmerlFrom what I understood, problem with Metro games is lack of support. Developers did a mediocre job of porting them to Linux, and now refuse to fix bugs. I think it simply doesn't pass GOG QA requirements.

Thanks for the info. Haven't found more about that in time! But interesting to hear about that, because therefore those games won't run that good in newer distributions. But for now I have no further trust within GOG after this escalation and their plans. I don't think they'll stay at their principles for a longer period, especially when it comes up on DRM-free. And furthermore: Their proprietary client-backend ... I doubt they ever have this released. So? Quitting for now. :)

Cool. Already have it in my Steam library (from when it was Windows only). Now it is on Linux, I should get around to playing it. (My Windows partition gets booted up very rarely, heh. And when it does, usually can't use the machine for 10 minutes due to updates and reboots.)

I've been interested in Shogun 2 for some time. On my wishlist it goes, hopefully have money and time soon.

Quoting: Purple PuddingSo the tease on the radar was for Shogun 2 and not Shadow Warrior 2?:'(

I'm not complaining, since I never experienced a Total War title and Shogun 2 can be a good start, but I was thinking about SW2 (even if the first one is sitting in my library and I haven't get a chance to play it).

Good Work BTW, keep porting!

Similar to you, I had Shadow Warrior (2013) in my Steam library, and owing to my keenness for SW2 - I installed and played SW1 - to increase the Linux user Steam stats (by "1" ) as a bit of encouragement to the developers.

On which note, I thoroughly enjoyed SW1 - and I'm expecting SW2 to be AWESOME! And noting that there are TWO teases on the radar, and the 2nd tease 'might' be SW2.

Quoting: Crazy PenguinWiiU has a bigger market share then Linux :(

WiiU has sold ~14 Million Units and at the moment we have currently only ~2 Million Linux Players on Steam.

Puts things into perspective, doesn't it? :(

It does. This is the kind of reason it would be awesome if Valve relaunched Steam Machines at some point (with all the things everyone agrees they need for success) and they took off. Even if they were as successful as WiiU, that would still multiply the Linux gaming market share.

Quoting: m0nt3Is the Single Player worth it?

made to wade is still on feral radar and this is not it. made to wade will likely be dawn of war 3.

Don't know why to play The Witcher 3: GOG or better to say CD Projekt RED has done not so much things for Linux as system itself and they even treat Linux-customers as second class. Waiting even years for some answer regarding the Metro-series for example and I doubt the games will be ever available for Linux without any DRM. So after the last actions from GOG.com regarding their so-called optional client Galaxy I've abandoned them and waiting for deletion of the account. Better to stay full free without any named store! ^_^

Tried it some time ago looking for another MMO. I think the MMO genre has a identity problem because all are doing more-of-what-already exists.

SotA is actually a bit of an old-school-breeze, but it's a lot flawed too. Could still get cool, it's not even in beta yet, and actually I don't know if it's my personal feeling but with Mesa 7.1 the loading times reduced (maybe the shader caches?).

I actually experience that I wait way longer on my GTX1050 than on my RX460.

Though, I still stick with Zezenia for now (pure-grind-and-level). Ye, I know, really old school :D. I'd love some MMO with [real] crafting for Linux, and since I didn't like Albion (which could be fitting, but I'd need a party protecting me while I get materials), I still hope that SotA will get the curve.

For crafting, SotA looks pretty okay. Getting / buying materials to support your gathering is actually pretty okay on the player market if you sell your end products well (I didn't go into mining). The death system is pretty punishing at the moment though.

Exactly Io is just the studio they can technically get any studio to make it

Quoting: GuestIt would be fun if this game connected somehow with Stellaris through events like their April fools joke using HOI IV, that would make me a lot more interested!

Must have missed that one.
What did they do for HOI 4 ?

Take a look! It was a lot of fun!

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/cross-title-multiplayer-between-stellaris-and-eu4-hoi4.1008387/

LOL
That's cool.
Some games actually had futuristic content for April Fools. I remember War Thunder doing mech walkers one year.
Still the rage quit bot from Rocket League takes the cake.

Quoting: GuestAny word on Vulkan?

Nope, all we have is the announcement. Very doubtful for such an old title though, doubt it would be worth it.

You're correct, yep. These games use OpenGL.

Regarding cross-platform multiplayer, we're working on a Linux vs Mac patch for y'all. We'll shout when that's released.

Thanks for this.

One question. Will it one day be possible to play multiplayer with Windows users ? or is that not technically possible ?

Linux vs Windows multiplayer for SHOGUN 2 isn't technically possible. If it ever is, you can bet we'll be all over it. :)

I'm guessing this same issue exists with CoH2 and Warhammer 2 , right ?
Curios how the multiplayer mechanism works (if you are allowed to discuss this)

You can get some good insights into issues around cross-platform multiplayer in our Steam post about CoH2.

Quoting: themixturemediaTo Feral do you know if you will be supporting Amd Gpu's or will it be all Nvidia support for this game?

We're still working on the system requirements for ya.

Thanks ellie.

Appreciate all the hard work you folks at Feral do :)

Glad I don't care about multiplayer with this game, but this is some bull shit, all the time its Linux and Mac multiplayer, no windows, thats what kills the chances in some games picking up on Mac and Linux, like with Arma3.

Oh look, yet another Metroidvania game that will release before Chasm even gets to beta...
Still working through Hollow Knight but I know that the game only has about 10-15 hours left of gameplay. Hopefully, there will be a new Metroid out on Switch soon.

Quoting: KeyrockGreat to see, even if RTS isn't exactly in my wheelhouse.

Yeah. I love the idea of RTS games, but I'm rather terrible at them, so they're not much fun to play. Turn-based strategy is more my thing.

Have you tried any of the Paradox ones ? The allow you to slow down time or pause outright.

Oh, I love the Paradox games. I own four of them - Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 4, Hearts of Iron 4, and Stellaris - but they play more like a turn-based strategy game even though events happen in real-time.

Quoting: HollowSoldierThe next big thing will be everyone calling Linux (distros) an RTS OS. What's the last time a non-RTS game was released. Deus Ex maybe? (Indies don't count.)

Having a few Total War games doesn't suddenly remove all the other fantastic games we do have you know? Even just going by Feral, we're talking four games out of how many they ported now? Like it or not, they obviously sell well or they wouldn't keep porting them.

Also, why don't indies count exactly? There's masses of truly fantastic indie games on our platform.

Quoting: drmothI honestly can't believe we now have so many Total War games. I would never have guessed this a few years back! THANKS FERAL

It's ironic that we still don't have Total War Rome 2, which was the only Total War game officially announced during the Steam OS launch.
