OMG do I despise the negativity around the art style.

It feels like poor Ron fell into the trap of showing he takes the "criticism" personal and basically admitted to be vulnerable in that regard. This is what some people on the internet love to exploit and I think this is exactly what happened (still happens) and went far beyond a legitimate criticism.

Looking forward to the game.
Grateful, Ron was brave enough for this project at all.
I mean, that's a damn fvcking risk.
And it seems his worries were justified (even more than that).

What a sad turn of events after one the most exciting game related announcements (for *me*).
Hope Ron will be fine.

It all boils down to "That's why we can't have nice things".

Quoting: subSo this won't be accepted in the kernel if *only* a proprietary user space drivers is available.
Mind that AMD only got their kernel driver mainlined as it provides a proprietary AND open-source
user space driver using the same API.

That's not true, drivers don't get rejected for that reason. The only reason it can't be streamlined is that the code doesn't follow Linux coding conventions. The driver as it is can be used by other software, not only the Nvidia propietary drivers. I guess it could be even used by Mesa. We'll see.

It's not a matter of *can*. If such a user-space component does not exist, or is just a cheeky unmaintained mess, the kernel module will certainly not be mainlined.

This is not the full driver stack - just the kernel module - and
compares to R600G/AMDGPU for AMD, right?

(Small) step in the right direction but not remotely as amazing (to me) as it sounded in the first place.

Wouldn't be Nvidia if there wasn't a catch.

Star Wars Episode I Racer was the best ever coming out from that movie (including that movie).

Wasn't that planned to be a free upgrade for those already owning it? :huh:

The colours remind me of the fantastic Motorhead.
Anyone remebering that one?

Unfortunately, the version on Steam is just the emulated PSX version,
which explains the bad rating.

I remember as a kid Sonic on the MD/Genesis looked just awesome.
The whole cool aesthetics and clever use of the available colour palette, the level design and the fast gameplay.
Yet, when I first played it, it was basically no fun (for me).
I can't even tell why, but the Mario games were always the by far better platformers for me judging by the gameplay.

DEFCON: Everybody Dies [External Link]

given the current situation.

I saw interesting video about it [External Link]. Apparently there have been study about how the game effects people.

As for remastering, it really might not need more than Darwinia. Graphical style is intentionally simplistic after all.

Wow. Thank you!
