Quoting: ShmerlBinary or source, it's still wrapping. One isn't much better than another.

To me as a software developer as well as to me as a Linux user, that's a huge difference. Wrapping binaries on a different OS would be the very last resort if totally necessary. And it's not necessary for me in case of gaming. While wrappers for source is a common design pattern [External Link].

Quoting: ScooptaAlthough Feral does seem to put quite a bit of work into their ports I would like more info on exactly how much wrapping vs porting they're doing.

VP and WINE are doing binary wrapping, while Feral is doing source wrapping. The first runs Windows binaries in Linux, the second creates pure ("native" ) Linux binaries. Do we need way more information?

Quoting: HoriLooks nice. Unfortunately for me, 2D horror games are anything but horror for me :(

I haven't played it myself, but they say Darkwood [External Link] manages to scare you in 2D. Did you give it a try?

Quoting: HoriThey never manage to give me a scare unless it's 3D (in which case they immerse me so much that I almost forget it's a game and I genuinely fear that trying them in VR could give me a heart attack)

A games journalist from my favorite PC games magazine said she could not even make it into the house playing the new Resident Evil in VR. :O

This is actually one of the very few instances (could count with one hand and still have some fingers free) were I might preorder. No reason not to trust in technical quality and entertainment value of their games!

Yay!
Instabuy!

The green optimization badge for HRM is one of the "achievements" that actually feels like an achievement. :)

*edit* The politician in the trailer reminds me of somebody. Believe me.

Quoting: SalvatosI see many people requesting Rise of the Tomb Raider; wasn't that one already confirmed on Feral's radar? If not, that's a good second/realistic choice.

It's the common guess for what's on Feral's radar for Linux, but as usual, there's no confirmation to know for sure.

The Witcher 3

First person open world is the genre I'm missing the most, and as Bethesda doesn't seem to embrace the penguin and CD Project considered a Linux version, let's get the great Witcher.
