Two steam controllers are enough :D.

Very nice, that could be a cool couch play if it works well with SteamLink and the controller (often having issues there due to strange controller implementations in games).

Quoting: Redface
Quoting: t3g
Quoting: STiATI doubt that any game supporting Vulkan will come out any time soon, since drivers of the Ubuntu LTS are not up for it (NVidia 304.131)
The 367 drivers (stable Vulkan support) will make their way into the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10 repos soon and will replace 361 according to this xenial-proposed entry [External Link] on Launchpad.

I'm also guessing they will be available to install either before or when Ubuntu 16.04.2 gets released as an ISO at the end of this year or in February 2017.
That sounds good, and the current 16.04 LTS has 361.42 so its not as old as STiAT wrote who still must be on 14.04
I'm on Manjaro and took the release 16.04, not 16.04.2, but usually Ubuntu does not update the drivers in sub releases.

As developer, I've no use for software stacks as old as Ubuntu usually ships (mostly libraries), because maintaining my own development lib directory isn't what I call fun.

Quoting: MGOidLet me put fuel to the fire: Deux Ex: MD was modified in Steamdb 9 hours ago.
I'm rather going for domesticated_submission and domesticated_submission_debug at Mad Max 2 days ago. Very likely last branches for QA.

I'd prefer DX:MD though.

Quoting: IvancilloI think this is the promised Two Worlds II, which is suppoused to be released this month with a new DLC.
Noo, I have that game already and played it when I dual booted... I want something fresh :-).

I think they should only after they sent me a private e-mail so my wife can't hide the credit card.

My bet is on Mad Max though.

EVERSPACE, the amazing looking space shooter should be on Linux before the end of September

action-focused single-player space shooter
stopped reading there - will be bought :-).
Hopefully it will work well with the steam controller as I do not own a joystick at the moment.

Being worked on for some time now. Though, that they're finally going for SDL is a huge relieve.

Thought CryEngine was far from a finished Linux support. Did I miss something?

Though, I'd love to get my hands on this one, even with the known flaws. Some games which were down rated due to flaws turned out to be really nice games (in my opinion). Sword Coast Legends would be one of them, Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry would be if the bug in Linux was fixed where you can't continue due to the main quest line failing. Nuclear Dawn is one of them - love that one, sadly the player base died.

A grain of salt that Epic isn't working on this but it needs a community developer to do so. In my opinion this is something Epic should support if not even fully fund.

Though, I'll support him for the efforts, swallowing the salt...
