The Twisted Metal ist mechanics look fun.
The lack of textures isn't my cup of tea. Feels intended for ages 8 - 14.
$15? I think I'll wait for something else that fulfills my driving derby style destruction fetish.

Until then Robocraft is free and allows players to build death vehicles with guns so It's not really a untapped offering as there are contenders in the arena for my playtime.

Quoting: NyamiouThis looks boring compared to a good old Sierra 3D Ultra Pinball. They're abandonware so you won't find them on Steam or GOG but you can find cheap CD on eBay (or download them like everyone else) and they run without any issues at all on Wine.

@OP - I think I'm a sucker for these kinds of games, I was jamming to Beat Hazard the other day and I love games like EDGE, Marble Blast, Geometry Wars and apparently Hyperspace Pinball.

Quoting: MaelranePersonally I do not understand why they do not officially support AMD.

That would mean the contractor would have to charge the contractee more $$$. Offering guarantees in the software world is a very expensive thing to do - especially since it's difficult to calculate the scope of said guarantee and the cost to pay developers proper wages.

Also - as you can see from this delayed launch, the less promises you make the less you disappoint people - just Imagine how enraged AMD gamers would be if it ran less than equal on AMD - you think AMD users are mad now - they would be much more enraged after being promised support.

They're smart enough not to tie their own rope around their neck.

Is it multiplayer on a single Steam Machine with multiple controllers or does it require multiple computers.

@mrdeathjr agreed.

On the other hand if someone is building a Media Center PC with a modest budget I would absolutely recommend the AMD A10 APU Kaveri [External Link] as someone mentioned earlier in this discussion.

Cores - 12 Compute Cores (4 CPU + 8 GPU)
Operating Frequency - 3.7 GHz
Max Turbo Frequency - 4.0GHz
L2 Cache - 2 x 2MB
Manufacturing Tech - 28nm
Integrated Graphics - AMD Radeon R7 series
Graphics Base Frequency - 720 MHz
Thermal Design Power - 95W

Due to the AMDGPU Kernel Driver which uses the HSA design, it's a real winner for integrated graphics potentially in a Mini ITX or Micro ITX form factor.

I'm presently building 1 more Linux Gaming PC in addition to my other 2, AMD just has gotta get back up and put out goods products and they'll return to their golden age soon :)

Quoting: kernelhavokMaybe we can return to this nvidia/ATI war once linux has a larger share of the gaming market. As it stands, in it's current state, I cannot blame developers for ignoring linux and just focusing on WIndows with third-parties, like Feral, going back to Mac.

Agreed, we are still about 1%, we're just splitting a hair having this debate. 20% AMD of 1% Linux is 0.02% AMD/Linux or about 200,000 machines, I think our zealot activities are better suited to first get people on Steam Machines & Linux. After that happens in 2 years then we make sure the market is healthy by nvidia having true competition for our $$$.
