Interview with Timothee Besset, formerly of id Software, who helped port Rocket League to Linux

Quoting: TTimoI don't know that it was necessarily delayed.

How could it not be - wasn't originally the SteamOS version promised with the launch of the Steam controller? Then, wasn't it talk about a release around january this year, only to be postponed further?

Added to wishlist.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is officially coming to SteamOS & Linux, port by Feral Interactive

Quoting: skinnyrafYou mean the wrongs of the second game, don't you? :)

Hehe! Well, technically I believe it's even the fourth, all in all. :) But you know what I mean. The first after the resurrection of the franchise.

Quoting: skinnyrafI agree that the only reason for negative reviews that seems to matter is the abrupt ending - seems to be a hint of essential DLC coming soon that will conclude open story lines.

The short ending is one thing, but mainly I hear complaints about the microtransactions, supposedly you can buy some virtual items that's only active for the playthrough they are purchased for.
It is kinda silly, sure, but it's totally optional. Square Enix wants our money. What else is new.

Bah - screw user "reviews". This game fetched a rock solid metascore of 85% with the (real) reviewers saying this gamer corrects the wrongs of the first game (especially the abysmal boss fights). If some users get their pants in a knot over a totally optional purchasable unlock that only works for one playthrough, well boohoo. This game - the actual content we get for the price we pay - is rock solid, end of discussion.

This is this years big GOTY-contender against Rocket League. Simple as that.

Quoting: uraeusA completely different take is that they are playing on words here. And its a game from Massive Entertainment. So it could be Tom Clancys The Divison, Fra Cry 3 or Assasins Creed: Revelations.


Oooh - that is clever speculation right there, mr Uraeus. He's damn cunny, that guy who writes those public statements. It could very well be.

If so... ANY of those three titles would be orgasmic to get over to us. Even The Division, although I hear it's pretty much abandoned by now.

It HAS to be Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. It's not officially confirmed yet, and it's probably very close to release now.

Not that I mind one bit, this is one of my most anticipated games this year, but it would be real cool if it's not DE:MD. Cause what can it be then?

Event[0] a sci-fi narrative exploration game is coming to Linux, befriend a spaceship computer to get home to Earth

Wonderful concept... at least in theory. The setting is perfect for a sci-fi buff like me but I'm a bit worried if the theoretical awesomeness will play out in practise, will need to read a few reviews.

I bet this one would be great in VR though...

Rocket League updated for SteamOS & Linux, AA now works, FPS no longer locked to 60

There's one thought that I can't shake off my head: Would this game ever have come to Linux had it not been for their obligation VS Valve and the Steam controller deal? With the stack of cancelled Linux releases so far this year, I dread the answer...

But seriously guys; This is easily one of the best games for us this year, both in regards to entertainment factor and technical performance. Do not doubt this release. This is the kind of releases we want. It should be supported by all. Just buy it, flip out, have fun and thank us later. :)

Homefront: The Revolution is starting to show signs that the Linux port is alive and coming

This game doesn't have mixed reviews, it's got horrible reviews. It's at a metascore of barely 50. So don't get blinded by the glossy graphics on this one folks - read a few reviews and see if it is worth your time.
