Maybe this post could be edited to link to the one announcing that it's Deus Ex?

People at id still use Linux post-Carmack, huh? Hmmm. Not that it means much, but it is interesting to note.

Nightdive Studios aren't sure when the Linux version of the System Shock remake will be available

Not true in at least one of those instances (Strife used the existing Chocolate Strife engine, and they contracted the original game creator(s) to fill in its gaps).

Life Is Strange is coming to Linux & SteamOS by Feral Interactive

They need to tighten up their social media/website stuff, don't they... unless, of course, this oops isn't entirely an accident...

UNIGINE 2.2 released with major new features

Well, they must be making a living if they're still selling it for that much (though I seem to remember earlier versions costing $35k). Somehow I suspect that it's not used much at all for games, and that Unigine aren't terribly fussed about that either.

Quoting: flesk
Quoting: ShmerlSounds like a good game, buy why is it Steam only? I'll contact developers about it.
They tried to get the game on GOG, but it wasn't accepted. I hope they explore other options though, like itch.io or Humble. Backers just got DRM free versions of the final build though, and will get access to future updates.
Well, just tweeted them about it, let's see if we get a response! I'd be surprised if they're not though.

Tomb Raider, the excellent 2013 game is officially coming to Linux from Feral Interactive

Feral Interactive must have my secret list of games I want to see on Linux.
...I don't think it was a secret you wanted this game on Linux.

Also, yay! Tomb Raider! Nice work, Feral! (although the work isn't completed yet :D)
I didn't think it was any secret that at least one of the Tomb Raider games was coming to Linux, either!

Enjoyed the original game rather a lot. Wanted to back this, but I had no money at the time. Still no money now, but if I find the funds I'll be buying this one!

Looks like the F1 2015 Linux private beta was left open for the free weekend

Hopefully this won't make Codemasters reluctant to pursue further Linux ports (it has happened for sillier/similar reasons before, I think).

Well, looks like it might be more promising than I thought in that they actually show in-editor stuff. Hopefully it'll be as good as they claim.
