Quoting: adolsonWould rather play FRONTIERS [External Link]. Just wish they'd fix the gamepad support proper, and maybe put the Tux icon on the Store page so people know it's available.

Ooooh oooh Frontiers! Since when has it had linux support? What do you like about it? Is it buggy?

I for one haven't bought this title yet, so I very much appreciate these more in depth reviews to help me decide. I really loved this more intimate and informal style, it was very refreshing from the normal review format, which sometimes gets a bit boring. Keep up the good work your Cheeseness!

Quoting: Half-ShotJust to leave some info that wasn't said in the article, both Cheeseness [External Link] and Flesk [External Link] are quite involved in the Double Fine community (a admin and moderator, no less) and thus comments made about Double Fine projects should be taken with a grain of salt.
I'm disappointed that GOL didn't at LEAST leave this information at the header of the article since whether you think so or not, the article will inherently be biased. I'm surprised you couldn't at least have gotten a fresh person to Double Fine games to balance it out.

EDIT:
Turns out I missed it. However the wording was very misdirecting. Cheeseness is an administrator which is one step from having paychecks, so please make that more clear. Furthermore, putting two lines midway down the article in the same style as the rest of the text is the same stunt pulled by dirty terms and conditions. Bold it at the top to make it more clear where the sources are coming from.

You must be joking. Here's someone giving up their free time to write up an in-depth article on a game they have clearly inside knowledge on (which is a bonus), and you're trying to strike them down? Please, take your indignant sense of righteousness somewhere else, this is not even CLOSE to being an advertorial...which I assume is what you're referring to.

If people have issues with Bioshock Infinite, make sure you log them here:

It's not that unusual to have just a single person port a game, but yeah, these guys deserve a trophy.

Thanks for the translation Commander!

The performance will probably be allot closer since at this time we got couple of things ready to implement that will rise the performance by 50 to 100% more.

This sounds really promising...these guys are awesome!

Hmm weird, I have a GTX660 but I don't get anything like that. I have a relatively recent Haswell motherboard + CPU though, that might make the difference...

Quoting: fishxzi hope its not. the performance in bioshock was terrible compared to windows. i refuse such "ports"!

what? the performance is amazing for a wrapper.

Yes, the performance is amazing - for a wrapper.

Quoting: mr-eggat this point Eon is so good that im not bothered if older pre 2014 titles are ported using a wrapper. It gets the games over and as people have more and more GPU power to spare the 10 - 15fps difference isn’t noticeable on all but the most extreme 4k setups where every fps counts

Yes, Eon is so good that old games can be wrapped with it so we get a chance to play them at all. Games older than Bishock probably will run fine on normal morden hardware.

But...

On my GTX660, Bishock Infinite has got breaks of say half a second when loading new parts of a scene I'm walking through, which breaks immersion for me. I did try the tips of the 2K, to no avail. It did much better on the very same PC when I still used Windows.

Such wrappers must not become the standard way of "porting" games to Linux.

Yep, this looks pure awesomeness....unexpected, but awesome!

Keep posting them, they're hilarious :)

Quoting: Segata SanshiroLooking at this (though the improvements are very nice) just shows how ahead of its time HL2 really was, it hasn't really aged that badly at all. Might use the new graphics as an excuse to re-play it though :)

I know I always post these, but there was a Zero Punctuation review on the re-make:

Really looking forward to a performance patch, I'd really like to play this on high'ish settings...
