Quoting: PlintslchoFor some reason, System Shock has never appealed to me. While I do find the story interesting I was never interested in the game (I watched a friend of mine playing it back in the day). Maybe I found the controls awkward already back in 1994.

Anyway, I might have given an updated and modernized version of the game a try (albeit I do find the graphics of the remake a little too colourful for my taste). But without a confirmed Linux version I’m not interested.

I might check again after the game has been released- if it is released for Linux as well, that is.

The controls were bad, you have to remap them first thing to feel more like Half Life to make them sane.

I would love for someone to make a version where the three were one where there was a heart with a penguin inside it holding a steam controller.

For anyone wanting to download my entry here's the link again - it's 4k:

A Square Enix game on Linux? Interesting. If they port FF7, 8, 9 and 10 I'll buy all of them.

Pinball with steam controller feels great. Picked up Hyperspace Pinball a few days ago, I do like how this one looks though since its easier to follow with all the color.

Quoting: niarbehtI wouldn't mind spending $300-400 on a even more dope RX 490, but I'm not sure how long before that will be a thing, have cash - want awesome open source graphics card.

Looks like the RX 490 will arrive [External Link] at the the end of this year or (early) 2017 according to the AMD roadmap.

So it's up to you if you want to wait at least 6 months for the RX 490 or get a RX 480 right now.

Thank you for sharing your info. I think 6 months is too long to wait for the boost. I use my Linux PC professionally for work and need the best right away. I think I'll wait a few weeks and grab a xfx if their brand is good.

I'll buy the Linux version when it appears on this website as released for Steam and reviews confirm it's not a flop with 80% + Meta score.

Quoting: niarbehtI know I'll be getting an RX 480. But not for Linux. It's gonna be my passthrough card.
Yep. I guess I'm a dirty heathen.

DMSL :P

If I pull the trigger on this my Steam Summer Sale gaming upgrade will soar to $500, temptation is a b***.

But seriously, I'm contemplating trading out my GTX 970 for the RX 480 - performance seems comperable, and I'm annoyed with how my HDMI monitor has corrupted graphics or crashes my Gnome Session after leaving the computer a couple hours.

I wouldn't mind spending $300-400 on a even more dope RX 490, but I'm not sure how long before that will be a thing, have cash - want awesome open source graphics card.

Only problem is I think if I go red I'll probably buy at least 3 Red Cards :\ WTH am I supposed to do with 2 970s and a 750 Ti SC :(

This thread will probably sink since it's not pinned or anything or there's no link on the homepage.

Quoting: HomepcgamerIm waiting for it, but the reviews are pissing this game. People expected a Megaman clone, and seems it isnt, btu seems a good game

After a couple hours I would love to hear a update, sometimes public critique can be harsh.

I hope they didn't suffer from the 2D -> 3D timing problems that a lot of 3D platforms suffer from.

Timing on jumping in 2D games like Super Mario Bros used to be calculable so you could be precise and the movements of Mario were predictable, also world enemies, etc... operated on a similar clock related to the refresh rate and so on.

Hopefully the mechanics are sound.
