Quoting: Comandante oardoI prefer an inhouse port... what engine use this game?

If I remember correctly it's actually a custom engine they developed for this and future Deus Ex games.

edit: It's called the Dawn engine

You are right, it's the Dawn engine which is based on Glacier II. :)

Quoting: liamdaweOh I know what you're saying and I understand it. Just don't read into it too much, like I said Feral reply like that to port requests on FB quite often for lots of different games.

Can you recall what other titles they've done the same with, using this "requestinator [External Link]" of theirs? It's not that I doubt you - I imagine I've seen it too, but can't recall any actual titles.

I don't have any to hand and don't fancy trawling months of Facebook, as if I did I can tell you now I would have a lot more posts here on GOL for Feral, but I don't consider Feral telling people they are taking port request feedback as news. Of course they are.

We may just be overhyped. :)

This said, you know on what engine Deus Ex is based? Same as Tomb Raider? Vulkan title?

Edit: Got my answer. Glacier Engine II, same as Hitman... Hitman is coming to Linux, by Feral, am I wrong? ;)

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Feral-Interactive-Tells-Linux-Users-to-Request-Deus-Ex-Mankind-Divided-Port-478422.shtml [External Link]

So it might just be logical to get a Linux port from Feral. That would be awesome!!!

Depth Charge?

Honestly, I'm not surprised Softpedia wrote about that. Feral says such things about ports all the time in reply to requests on Facebook. Softpedia just wanted a nice headline, don't read into it too much.

Not pretending this to be a confirmation, it's just that it would make sense to see a Feral Port.

Oh I know what you're saying and I understand it. Just don't read into it too much, like I said Feral reply like that to port requests on FB quite often for lots of different games.

I understand... Now a question I have no clue what is the answer: What is the ratio of done ports when Feral launch the "requestinator campaign" or equivalent?

Quoting: TealI hope that by "hold off" you mean mostly "pass".

It has ~50% on Steam reviews, and that's both the all time and recent ones.

We as a community don't have to automatically jump at every muddy turd just because some big names did show kindness to us, come on. It's sadly not a good game and not supporting a failed game developer should come before supporting a Linux friendly one.

If you consider yourself a fan of the (original) series, get yourself an emulator and one of the original games.

Will you be able to sleep if I tell you that I want to make my own opinion of the game?

Reading the reviews I have the feeling that many seem way too unfair. It feels like free bashing, this is why I want to see for myself.

I have a GTX960 and, for my part, with driver 361.45.19 (I hope I got it right), there is no problem. The performances are on par with driver 367.xx.

Unless you have a GTX10x0 you might not need to use the latest driver.

For my part, something is happening. There was never that much curiosity and willingness to try Linux.

Just at work I converted a friend to Linux Mint and he converted three other co-workers to Linux.

Microsoft's repeated intrusions and forced upgrades are responsible for this, from what I hear. People are fed up by MS's "Whe know what is good for you and you'll like it". MS went too far, this time.

Quoting: HalifaxValve giving up on SteamVR for SteamOS and pretty much giving up on SteamOS, at least for now, sure does seem like they decided to not power through and fix/try again after a poorly received Steam Machine release.

Just trying to put things together and this is just speculation, but looking at AMD's recent rate of development on Linux with their AMDGPU-Pro (and/or) Opensource driver and considering the fact that their new apu's are reported to have performances int the range of R9-285, R9-290 gpus (can't find the source where I read this)... I'm beginning to think that it might be the missing piece of the puzzle for another Steam Machine offensive.

What I mean is that you can't have a viable price bracket with Intel CPU + Nvidia GPU or sufficient performances with Intel integrated graphics. I'm talking about low end Steam Machines, obviously, but if you can get an APU for 200$ that does both...

But that is just speculation and AMD has still to deliver what is advertised.

Edit: Can't find the article where the comparison was mentionned, but still, here are examples:
