Quoting: EKRboiIt is a Unity based game so that is already a -5 in my book.. hopefully there are enough +1's to counteract that :P

Yeahhhh.. I wish I could be a plus one, but the game is pretty unplayable on Linux right now (at least on my machine) due to graphical issues.

It is a pre-alpha though, so I'm very confident that it'll be brilliant once all the bugs are ironed out.

What do you think?

I want to see a retail price, and I want to know when I can get it. Can I just plug it in to any ol' linux PC, or will it only work (out of the box) with a steam machine?

But generally speaking, I like what I'm seeing. As long as the price-point on the controller (and the machine) aren't too painful I plan on getting both. (that is, a steam machine for the living room, and an additional controller for my PC in the office)

Assuming you run on an recent(-ish) kernel, it should work OOTB on any Linux distribution.

I missed this too! This unfortunate situation will be resolved presently.

Can't wait to give it a spin!

I've got a MK Glow, which is basically the same thing minus a few configurables and USB/audio ports, and it's amazing. The only downside for mu is the keys aren't a uniform shape, so although you can move the keys around into a different layout (e.g. dvorak), some keys will protrude slightly more than others.

It's a minor point, and I was fully aware of it before I took the plunge, so I have no hard feelings about it. I just wish that Roccat would sell keys for alternative layouts.

Merry Christmas Liam, Samsai, and the rest of the GoL cast, and the rest of the GoL community.

Hope the next year brings lots of happy surprises for Linux gamers.

OHSHI-

I don't finish work until the 24th, but the games keep on piling up!

This is by no means a bad thing, I just wish someone would see to that 12 day weekend I keep wishing for. :D

I wouldn't complain if it did come to Linux (the more 'big' games, the better!), but I'll not cry myself to sleep if it doesn't. I'm not a fan of modern Final Fantasy games.

Quoting: faceless

Quoting: WorMzyOddly, everything seems to work really well, except for the loading screens which lag and/or hang for a second of two when they first appear.

It's not oddly, it is a really good port.

I didn't write that very well, I mean that it's odd that the loading screens are flaky, but even the benchmark test runs really smoothly. I suspect it's not loading the loading screens before starting to load whatever the loading screens are supposed to be loading. If that makes any sense.

I could try moving the game to my SSD and seeing if that helps, I guess.

Started playing 2033 today. Oddly, everything seems to work really well, except for the loading screens which lag and/or hang for a second of two when they first appear.

Quoting: BlobAnother thing that perhaps went unnoticed:

Steam now shows "Windows" instead of "PC" in the search form :P

Yay! Common sense finally prevails!
