Damn so controller support not working for me on the GOG version under linux mint

Was exactly the same for me with the System Shock 2 remaster

All my nightdive games prior to that work perfectly fine with my controller

I've actually never played these before despite having them on gog for years, might have to finally dive in with these nightdive remasters

I'd still like a Q3A remaster at some point, I know some people will think it's not needed but it'd mean it can be on all the modern consoles and personally I'd love to see a pc version with splitscreen and half-decent controller support

Unrelated to the steam sale but I've noticed Ruffy and the Riverside came out today!

Played the demo (which is still available) and it's getting great reviews which is no surprise, I think it would be the best platformer of the year and I really wanna grab it

My personal recommendation for the steam sale would be Parking Garage Rally Circuit, 25% off

The speed they're getting these ports out is fantastic

I believe they said they're working on banjo kazooie too iirc

Have to say I think the remasters of TR 1-3 are a tad disappointing and I'm glad I waited

I found the remastered graphics somewhat off-putting, laras shadow seems to switch from dynamic to blob shadow on the fly, and the dynamic shadows just look really weird to my eye

That aside the graphics look pretty nice and faithful, apart from it looking overly dark in some areas

These are more nit-picks but what's really annoying is that the camera behaves differently.

It's not a bad/terrible remaster but it's certainly not up there with the sort of stuff nightdive have done

Varies from game to game

'F.E.A.R platinum' for instance had some changes made

"Update (20 March 2025)
Limited FPS to 60 (configurable), ensuring smoother performance.
Fixed duplicated FileTasks, resolving potential conflicts.
Validated stability.
Verified compatibility with Windows 10 and 11."

Where as some like the one you mention, they seem to just load the game up on W10/11 and say "yup, that works ok"

Their total disregard for linux is a big shame though, even the native linux games they do sell, some of them can have missing libs and stuff where as on Steam they include a set of commonly used libs.

So it some ways I'm not too bothered about native linux games on gog when they don't maintain them anyway

So many hours lost to execution mode on the mp back in the day

Be interesting to see the work coalition has done with UE5 since obviously they do know their way around the engine being ex-epic employees

This will still be really cool to see on linux even with us already having mangohud

It will be especially helpful for new-comers to linux. More plug and play the better!
