Quoting: omer666Played Metro 2033 Redux for half an hour.
In fact, resolution is included in the general "Graphics Quality" option, which sucks.
The other thing that sucks is that the only anti-aliasing that is available is SSAA, which allows you to play 2K, 3K or 4K on a HD screen. Well, my GeForce GTX660 can't handle that :p So I'm without any anti-aliasing and it's kind of... pixelated sometines.

But on another hand:
- I run this maxed out (appart from SSAA of course :p)
- I run this with PhysiX and that's really awesome
- It never crashed
- It was the best looking thing I ever played on PC

To sum it all up, I'm really, really pleased.
THANK YOU 4A Games.

It does have a SSAA option of .5 / 2 / 4
.5 works fine on mine 660ti but any higher is a slideshow.

Also the resolution on very high is 2560 x 1600 according to my config file.
But it is displaying at 1080p. So it would seem that it is rendering at 2560x1600 and then scaling
it down to 1920x1080.

With the advanced physx. I do think we might finally have our first game with hardware physx. The game does support the correct version of physx that was enabled for linux. And I can't see any extra cpu load from enabling it.

Very impressive multi-threading aswell. I see all 8 cpu cores being equally used (4cores with hyperthreading.

I have played it over 5 hours so far without any problems.
Everything maxxed out except SSAA at .5
Amazing work. Love it.

My specs:
Manjaro 64bit KDE
i74770k cpu
GTX660ti 2gb (343.36 driver)
16gb ram

I am going to try get something done about this. I cannot accept it.
I have been cheated by these guys.
I do hope game is great. I already own both the older versions and love it.
But this is WRONG.

A game called Tesseract just got greenlit on steam. But it isn't the same game.
It's like portal. Made with unreal engine.

It's pretty good. I have owned it on desura for a long time but never played it until they gave out steam keys for it today.
The leader board system makes you want to keep trying the puzzles again to see if you can solve it using less components than they have.

Liam the video isn't showing. Just got a big blank white space there.

EDIT: For anyone else with this. We worked out it's "https everywhere" plugin stopping them.
So disable plugin, or just go watch them elsewhere like I have.

How is it far-fetched?

Looks to me like it's done by Icculus.
I am guessing it's his unannounced port 2 based on this

From above link:
Have some D3DX Mesh stuff that is big and hairy, needs research and probably a MojoD3DXMesh library or something.

Hmm big and hairy.

Anyone else think I am right?

Well it was Ryan Gordan "Icculus" that ported the first Killing floor to Linux.
He has got to be the most recognised and respected porter of Linux games there is.
So the only reason it should have issues is if they decided not to pay him to work on it more.

I was also very disappointed with this game. But not because the port is bad. Seems fine to me.
But it just seems like a really old, inferior, poor mans Left4Dead2. Get a similar feeling from Red Orchestra Ostfront. (also done by Icculus)

I haven't tried RO2, but so far their games seem like very cheap and nasty knockoffs of better games.
Maybe I am wrong, The games appear to have good ratings. Maybe the Linux versions are really very inferior to the windows versions? I wouldn't know. Although video's on youtube suggest they are pretty much the same.
