Random Access Murder is quite possibly the most annoying game ever made

Quoting: KimyrielleHonestly? It looks like a 12 year old tried to explore game programming in the late 80s and thought it's ok to publish the results. Indie publishing brought us games like Stardew Valley and Prison Architect, and that's a good thing for sure, but for every indie pearl there are 10 other games made by untalented hacks without any design talent whatsoever that makes us wish back for the times when games got quality filtered by professional publishers. Like...this one. Whoever made this joke of a game should put their "talents" to better use. I dunno what. Really anything but making games. Don't worry Liam, it's perfectly ok to call out rubbish games like this one as what they are - rubbish that never should have been published.
Why is it such a problem? You can, just, you know, not play the games you don't like, as it's always been? And don't talk like back in the "good old games" lot of garbage trash didn't get published, because it definitely did. The apparent entitlement to be OFFENDED about every unfinished game that gets released baffles me.

This looks pretty fun. Yeah, epilepsy warning is in order but I disagree with the implication it's some sort of unplayable gaming abortion.

System Shock remake heads to Kickstarter, Linux is the first stretch-goal

Not that I would suggest anybody who expects a good timely experience on linux should throw all doubt behind and BACK NOW but it's an Unity3D game after all, it shouldn't be THAT hard for them to push out an okay port eventually...

Broforce now available DRM free on GOG, it's amazing, bro

Have they fixed the horrid sync issues when playing alongside somebody on Windows? We kept seeing completely different game with enemies that are long dead for one still out there killing the other and other fun stuff like that.

It made the game pretty much pointless for me.

Unity3D has plans to support Vulkan in the next quarter

Vulkan would be great in KSP...

Feral Interactive officially confirm F1 2015 is coming to Linux
8 May 2016 at 7:48 am UTC

I get that beggars cannot be choosers but this game has user rating of 39% on Steam, and "recent" user rating of 50% (Steam overall average across all games ever is like 76%).

I am not blaming Feral for not choosing better games to port; I imagine they are left with what doesn't have restraining publishing contracts and with who accepts their offer for the port, but this game is garbage and it's sad that a lot of the few games that we get the luck to have a port of are of this kinda fame.

It would be bounds and miles better if Feral ported smaller, but actually good games. What comes to mind is Ori [External Link] (admittedly quite likely impossible for now as it was published by Microsoft, then again, so was Dust: Elysian Tail and we have that ported already, so...), Duck Game [External Link].

The Wine Development Release 1.9.8 Is Now Available

Quoting: sobkas
Quoting: TealDX11 when?
When it's done? How long it took for DX9 to mature?
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see DX11, especially when all the new Dark Souls games are released with DX11 support, but Wine developers resources are limited and it might take some time. More than I would like.
Thing is, I was looking (and albeit probably not too well) and I can't find ANY news on the development since the January blogpost on codeweavers page. I can see into software development a bit and I would love to gain access to some tracker or repo where I could look at what's being done and how's it going, or a forum or a mailing list, but I can't find anything!

Does anybody have any info about this?

Valve & HTC launch the Vive VR device, without Linux & SteamOS support

Quoting: PeciskAnyone care to get technical response from HTC what's holding up Vive release on Linux? Lack of resources? Drivers (admittedly, they might for AMDGPU driver to be properly released and tested)? Something else?

I suspect it is most likely all major resources being thrown at doing Windows release ASAP, and Linux version being held up due of AMD driver situation and overall testing.

It is still wrong to not to say straight up front that Linux support won't arrive at release. They knew that most likely for some time now.
If Valve were a person they would turn up a week late to their mom's funeral.

They just can't keep deadlines.

Never ever.

I love how SteamOS still can't even stream games publicly.
