Talos Principle & Serious Sam 3 getting Vulkan updates, Serious Sam 4 will be on a much improved engine
26 Jan 2016 at 1:13 pm UTC
Quoting: wojtek88I was thinking that my rig was not good enough for SS3 so I assumed I will be able to play it after hardware upgrade. Was the game playable for someone?
Serious Sam 3 and Talos Principle run great on my Intel quad core & GTX 660.
Our Linux & SteamOS gamer survey results for January 2016
26 Jan 2016 at 10:46 am UTC
Quoting: DonkeyMaybe there could be two kinds of surveys. One full version every second month (like we have now) and a smaller and quicker version for the rest. The small version could remove all the boring questions like desktop, gpu, drivers and then spice things up by adding a few more of the interesting questions (new ones each time).
I want to second this. The "standard" question may be put even less frequent IMHO, while I'm all interested in many of the special questions.

I feel the survey is quite Linux centric and not so gaming/SteamOS centric. Maybe interests have shifted in the last years? I'm much more interested in hearing how many people are using the Steam Controller e. g. than how many are using which DE...
Atari Vault, a 100 classic game collection heading to SteamOS & Linux

The best thing you can do to most legendary classic games is keeping them in sweet memory,
the worst thing is to actually play them again.

One of the very few exceptions for me was Metal Gear I & II on MSX.

I think this is seriously important.
I did not expect many games to use Vulkan, even less to announce this that early.
Good sign that is.

Quoting: NyamiouI would be very surprised and disappointed if some game developers still choose DirectX 12 over Vulkan, but we'll see.
They totally will, and they even will use it as a PR subject.
Game X - making use of incredible DirectX 12 feature Y and Z!
That Dragon, Cancer is now doing a Linux release on Steam

I don't think we should be angry on them. Seeing Steam Machines as consoles is a valid view point, and I understand signing exclusive deals - in the end, you need some money, and you may prefer assured money to potential one. And we are getting the game in the end. And poking did help.
Hit indie game Undertale looks like it's coming to Linux & SteamOS

It looks sooo ugly!
But then, To the Moon did as well, and I loved it in the end.
The 2015 GamingOnLinux GOTY award is now over, here's the results!

One remark: The major category of such a vote IMHO is "Best game". I would put this result at the end of the article, not somewhere in the middle. Create some tension, some step-up! :)
OUYA is blocking a Linux version of That Dragon, Cancer being on Steam

Why would Ouya oppose a Linux version on Steam?
Did we already arrive at step three of the saying...?
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.


*edit* Ah, ok, the tweets explain it.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroAlso, I'm glad someone took the job from removing Broken Age from every single category - apparently someone's idea of a sick joke.
I liked it. Not a "GOTY" like, but a "got entertained" like.
