Quoting: libgradevAgreed, just because Nvidia Specs are defacto doesn't mean RX 480 on AMD-PRO or MESA-git wont run it, someone around here will volunteer as guinnee pig I guarantee it, and if they do and post bugs fast enough they'll probably get worked out on launch week.Quoting: PublicNuisanceYet another reason to kick myself over getting that RX 480 over a GTX 1060 back in September. My GTX 680 is now the minimum haha. Oh well, I'll still be interested in the game.Hang in there! My RX480's running pretty good on mesa git (Mad Max) :)

Excellent news, Dual Shock 4 is a excellent controller for most genres of games. Also, no more ds4drv which should be nice.

Time for Ferrel to drop in and grab 50-70% and foot the work. Money to be made.

I just went through lots of research & testing & arrived at the conclusion that Xbox 360 is the best for us.
PlayStation 4 thumbtacks crater rings were annoying & the dual stick circles were too small to use in First Person Shooters. The touchpad was difficult to get working (I didn't). And running ds4drv to map it to X360 was a pain because on Bluetooth disconnect it would just add another Xbox Controller # and forget the last. Bluetooth range was terrible @ 4ft but maybe my controller was the cause. Input lag was behind X360 -- critical to FPS games.
Design wise PS4 is symmetrical, ergonomic, and very attractive but for some reason the plastic sweats in the hands.
XBone Bumpers are a joke and break off. The colored letters on black buttons is a downgrade. The bottom of the controller wings are linear instead of dynamic making it feel worse in your hand. The joysticks suck and lack resistance. Flush mount battery is nice & Bluetooth with model S is a step in the right direction.
Steam Controller is a Headcrab grafted upon a X360 host. Except instead of being one controller it's two controllers mashed together. You have to choose to completely ignore the top half or the bottom half to hold it where it feels meant to be.
Having one left joystick is a huge disappointment for FPS gaming. It fails as a FPS console controller to provide equal utility to my 15 years of playing FPS skill. The bumpers are awesome. The indentation on the left track pad sucks. It should have been raised or left out to feel like a DPad at all.
The right & left pads should have been unscrewable to replace with joysticks. The shell should come in more colors. Sticker Skins is retardedly ugly.
X360 admittedly is dated but supported in the most games. The kernel supports it has the free. The wings on the bottom are ergonomic. The triggers quality enough. The joysticks last 10 years and the button colors are really nice. The Wireless receiver is a pain and mess but can be mounted inside the case at least. It's limited to 4 controllers I imagine. The range is great and input lag minimal. The joysticks are wide enough to allow for more FPS precision. The joysticks are a ugly grey & bottom plastic too. The battery compartment is ackward but at least out of the way if you hards are small or mid size.
On and the steam controller batteries -- how the fuck are you supposed to pry those out of the wings without a knife & slashing your hand. Fuck those batteries hold super tight & never come out.
So in the end ice completed my quest & personally declared X360 the least expensive & best for FPS, ease of installation, design & real gaming use. Sometimes R1 and L1 don't work but overall its the best experience for me + 3 to play local split screen with.

Bought Warhammer 2 (3 expansions)
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/44367/ [External Link]
Bought Black Mesa
http://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/ [External Link]
I am somewhat interested in Max Max but TBH I'm not sure if I'm the target audience, the driving looks fun and it looks like what Final Fantasy XV was supposed to be, except actually cool, I just dunno - it looks like Borderlands 3 to me.
As it is I got a gigantic backlog but how can I turn down a good sale?
I hope Warhammer 2 is a better StarCraft 2 but for Linux, we'll see - DLing now.

Half Life was the very first PC game that got my into programming, there used to be game development CDs bundled with Half Life Demos. Such a different time.
