Very promising indeed. I agree, it doesn't look like a server coder. And especially if the game already is out for osX then a lot of the ground work is already done.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionI thought they did the exact same thing with Saints Row 4. It was to be just an expansion to 3 originally.

Ah! Then it may very well be me who are mistaken and mixes things up. It probably is.

Either way, it went downhill after sr3.

If I'm not mistaken, Gat out of Hell was originally meant to be just an expansion for SR4 but then the studio turned bankrupt and (my guess) they figured they'd fetch more money by wrapping it up as a sequel. The public excuse was, I believe, that the expansion turned out to become bigger than originally planned.

So yeah, there was a reason I never purchased this to begin with. Personally I think SR3 was the best SR of them all.

Still, I do look forward to play this on my LINUX desktop. That is cause for celebration regardless.

Ahhh - lovely! Can't wait to dive into this game - it's completely untouched by me until now (and that has been a rarity of the AAAs that are ported to Linux).

To be honest I always run monitors at native resolutions, including my 4K screen at work. I just have made it a habit to zoom everything everywhere I can. But lowering the resolution is probably a quicker way to do it.

But yeah, when you return it go for a 2560x1440 monitor instead, 27" or higher, and you're there.

Just as a side note, my mentioned monitors are both ASUS and I am very happy with them, I think their screens have very neutral and pleasant picture for long hours (not too intense colours, not too high contrasts), plus they are fast and with no shadowing (good for gaming).

Quoting: TheBossIf I bring the resolution for the desktop down to 2560 or whatever, it should be better. Don't think I will need any scaling then?

Nope that's perfect at that size. I run dual screens at home, two 27", one at 2560x1440 and one at HD (1080p) and 1440 is just perfect. 1080p is low close up.

Oh man you should have asked beforehand, before you chose a 4k screen. I'd warn you.

I got a 28" 4K monitor at work on my Linux desktop there, and 28" is simply too small for such high resolution. It's pointless even if the desktop environment did support t5his high DPI. In my experience 2560x1440 is the perfect resolution on screens this size range. I'd say 4K only becomes a valid option in the upper 30s.

At work I will seriously swap my 4K screen with a 1440p. I found a guy who want it, he works with frontend/graphic design so it may be worth something to him.

EDIT: I see several already have given the same advice. Let's hope at least this spreads the words to others: Don't go for 4k unless you got the screen size for it. It's meaningless.

As long as it will come eventually, and don't pull a Witcher 3 on us.

Quoting: chrisq

Quoting: BeamboomArf... Norway MUST be granted a batch soon!

I ordered 2 from amazon.
Not cheap when customs and shipping is added though.

Yeah that was too expensive for me. At least at the time. But I fully expected it to be available here by Xmas...!
