A minor curious thing I just noticed. This game has achivements as well as trading cards, both of which are working as they should. Yet no game activity is registered under the "Activity"-tab, nor under the "Profile"-tab in steam.

Weird, I don't think that has ever happened before.

Otherwise, the game works pretty well, with no troublesome bugs after 3 hours playtime. I did have to move down to 720p once I was out in the city though, due to my weak system-specs.

I've only played for about 40 minutes by now, so I don't have that many impressions to share. However, since even playing the game at all, should technically be quite beyond my computer specs, I can't feel anything but pleased with my initial experience.

My specs:
AMD FX-4100
Nvidia GTX650
340.65 proprietary driver
8 MB RAM

Playing at 1920x1080 with medium textures, low shadows, AA on, no motion blur,no ambient occlusion.

The game has this far been running pretty smooth, with no difficulty running around, fighting or crafting. I expect things will take a serious turn for the worse, once I enter the open, outdoors game-world but considering that I never expected to play this game "for real" at all before my computer was upgraded...no complaints.

EDIT: There was just a 85mb patch, so maybe the issue with "the mouths" has been fixed.

Bought it!

I may not be able to play it in a decent way until I upgrade my graphics next month (considering buying gtx960), but I really wanted to show my support for their Linux initiative.

I *loved* this atmospheric adventure-title on windows back in the days, in fact I liked it so much that I was mayor league pissed and felt almost betrayed, when it became clear that the next (similar) production "Heavy Rain", would be a playstation exclusive.

Anyway, if the tux rumor is true this title is a must have/play for everyone!

Absolutely great!

I almost bought "ultimate edition" straight away, however when I looked at the sys-reqs, I saw that I probably need a better cpu (amd fx 4100) and most likely a better gpu (gtx650) as well, actually a new HD (10gb left after 40gb install) wouldn't hurt either.

Well...I *have* played some titles with computer-specs that were a bit lower than "minimum requirements" in the past, without having a bad experience at all. Although that wasn't in Linux and in this case it feels like a bit of an expensive gamble.

Lol, new gpu/HD were part of my plans for february anyway but I think I'll hold off on this title for a little longer

Well, it *is* very similar in appearance to Dead Island. However, I don't consider that a negative, since i rather liked the graphical style of Dead Island & DI: Riptide and this game seems to be an upgrade in quality while maintaining a noticeable resemblance.

Dead Island also had a great focus on co-op gaming but I logged 59 hours of single-player gaming with it so I'm not concerned. ;-)

Hope it's true! It would be fantastic to get such a promising high-profile title released on Linux. I'll probably purchase this as soon as it's confirmed & available.

Good news! I've had this on my "wishlist" since August 18, but (thankfully) I never got around to purchasing it before I decided to try using Linux more or less exclusively.

So I'll pick up this when it becomes ported!

Really great and atmospheric action game! I hadn't played the old original when I bought it last summer and it was probably my most unexpected positive surprise of 2014 ;-)

Unfortunately, I already bought this in windows some months ago. But I'm at least waiting with installation & gaming until the Linux version arrives. (not sure if that makes any difference as far as the sales-statistics are concerned though....)
