Are all the "creative applications" companies going to rewrite their softwares for Metal? Am I wrong when I say that these are relying on OpenGL still? I must admit that my knowledge might be dated on the subject, but it seems like a bold move from Apple... Or they are just aiming to completely axe the MacBook line and eventually concentrate on their mobile division only (crazy rumor I read somewhere)...

Edit: At some point the walls of the garden are going to get so high that the sun won't be able to shed light on the apple tree and it will go barren. :)

Quoting: MohandevirThe last piece of hint is pretty awesome, but is Ninja Theory Linux friendly? Liam might be in a better position to answer that. From an outisder's point of view, it's hard to tell. It seems to be a small studio, on Steam at least, with about 3 games + DLCs (am I wrong?). None of them are on Linux yet. Maybe it's about to change though?

I think it would fit their "indie triple-A" attitude quite well.

You may be right. But there are indie studios that chose to ignore Linux, though. Unfortunately, they are not all Croteam... In fact, many of these indie "Linux-friendly" studios support Linux "inhouse". A question comes to my mind and I do not have a definitive answer to it... Did Feral ever ported an indie studio title before?

Edit: My interrogations are really at Feral's level. Hellblade would mean a change in their usual "business patern" which would be most welcome news but makes it a little less plausible, unfortunately.

Quoting: Duke TakeshiActually, we have figured out so many hints pointing towards Hellblade in this thread, that it is not super unlikely it could be the teased game. Anyway, are Feral giving out their "solutions" for the riddle after the announcement of the actual title?

Still, as of late, it's all about Square Enix, Sega, Codemasters and Warhammer 40K universe titles that are being ported to Linux by Feral... If it's Hellblade, I'll drink to that. :)

Did anyone mention Warhammer 40k, Inquisitor-Martyr? I have no clues to back my saying, but knowing the relationship between the Warhammer 40k universe and Linux... :)

Am I missing something? That's just Paradise Lost, we knew that already.

I still don't see the connection from Paradise Lost to Dark Souls.

Don't know if that could be the link...

Bloodborne is a "spiritual brother" to Dark Souls, from what I hear. In fact it seems it's in the same universe, but I never played. It's just comments I heard from players I know.

Edit: Found many other sources that makes the connection between Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Paradise Lost. "Dark Souls is a metaphor of life. Like a video game version of Paradise Lost." Along those lines...

I thought Bloodborne was exclusive to the Playstation.
Has this changed ?

It's an exclusive -- also the linked reddit post hardly documents a tangible connection. It's one person's association of a single phrase from Milton, with a theme in Bloodborne. It's sort of like finding a reference to 'ears', and 'hearing' in a poem, and concluding that the writers of Star Trek TNG must have had that poem as an inspiration in creating the Ferengi.

So nothing to see. I was hoping someone would build on top of that with other hints but it feels more like a dead end.

I think you are right, but Bloodborne and Dark Souls have a lot in common. That was my point. If I had to bet, I'd bet on Dark Souls, but I do not have much hope about it. Seems too good to be true.

I have no clue but it makes me think of Darksiders II... Maybe?

Mmmm... I guess it will work on Nvidia Shield then? Roku would be nice too.

I've been able to install and make Steam's Witcher 3 start following cRaZy-bisCuiT's how-to, with Wine 3.7.

In fact I copied the game folder of my Windows install to my wine prefix. This said, it's really laggy and slow. Better than stock Wine but not really playable. It's far from the Windows version with the same hardware (i7-3770, GTX 960, Nvidia 396.18). Any clue what might be wrong?
