I think it isn't out of reach in the case of a zen based apu, if the goal is to run games at medium settings like many actual consoles do.

But it's just speculation. IMO, the day Blizzard port it's game catalog to Linux is the day Linux gaming has won. It's more a dream than a possibility. :)

This said, hardware needs exclusives to sell. That's why Steam Machines failed. There was nothing you couldn't get by other means or on "the other OS"... Let's see what Atari has in store, this time...

The reason SteamOS didn't succeed isn't because of exclusives, it's because games ran worse PLUS lack of compatibility. You can have one or the other and people would go for it, but both is death.

Maybe but think of a Steam Machine launch with an Exclusive HL3 for SteamOS (just an example) and the swarm of players that would have come to the platform would have taken care of the issues you mentionned by itself. Bigger player base = Better support.

Might be too obvious, but Bioshock Remastered confirmed? Looks way too much like Father Comstock to me.

"O VAIN ILLUSION OF GLORY AND GRANDEUR"... Sounds like we could be talking about Columbia/Rapture here.
When you consider that Bioshock and Bioshock Inifinite are tightly intertwined...

If it's not Bioshock remastered but ROTR, Feral guys are really cruel! :)

Maybe both games?! Lol!

Quoting: MayeulC

Quoting: MohandevirI will need a how-to to install that thing. Never been able to make it work on Kubuntu. I see the SC icon in the apps but clicking on it does nothing at all.

Do we still have to stop it before launching Steam?

Edit: Oh! The OpenSuse build service is available again... Had the 404 error last time I checked. Going to give it a shot.

I had an issue with gtk apps at some point when I upgraded from plasma 4 to 5 (or something like it).
It turned out it was due to some old KDE themes (to make gtk look like KDE), and everything worked fine after I deleted them.
To check if it is the same with you, try launching zenity. It didn't work for me.

Now, it was a long time ago, so that's probably unrelated to your issue... But I'll leave that here, you never know.

It's working. Reinstalled it with OpenSuse build service and all went well. Awesome work by Kozec! The only thing that I find lacking is after a suspend/resume. The driver is not working properly and even trying to restart it is "sketchy". It's easier to completely reboot the system. Else, my SC likes it. :)

Edit: One more thing, and it's just a suggestion, in Steam, the steam button + up and down joystick are used to adjust the sound level of the system. Can something similar be done or is there another way of doing that?

Thanks!

Still, if Atari wants to sell it's Ataribox, the content will have to be exclusive to the Ataribox else it's going to be a a failure. Why buy the Ataribox if you can play the games on PC?!

But if you have no choice but to buy the Ataribox to play your Atari games and then had the Steam client to play AA games available on Linux... Will it start to attract the attention of known developpers who offer games on modest computer configurations (Blizzard I'm looking at you)? :)

Isn't Doom running on the Nintendo Switch afterall (and it's a AAA title)?

Edit: Ataribox + Steam... Valve will have to create a "recommended for Ataribox" in it's search criterias. :)

Quoting: MohandevirIf it is Zen AMD APU based, chances are that it will be more powerfull than the actual Nintendo Switch and will probably play in the same league. If Atari gets back into the publishing game again for futur titles, this is the Linux box I've been waiting for. Mine! Mine! Mine! :)

"While there are no firm specs revealed (as of writing) beyond the use of a ‘customised’ AMD CPU and Radeon graphics, we do know that the machine will be sold in a range of 'memory configurations'."

Looking forward to these 'memory configurations'.

I hate to nitpick, but we have the exact same info in the article, especially since we are the source of OMG's news for this ;)

Oups! Sorry! Lol!
Nice to know! Already knew you are the best, Liam! ;)

Hey?! Where is Dirt: Showdown?! What happened?

Job done! Just bought mine.

Edit: Is it just me or the hardware specs requirements seems low for such an awesome looking game?
