Quoting: h47054Tim Sweeney is crying like a little bitch about Windows store, he should put a money where his mouth is and add first class citizen Linux support into UE4.

Whoever donate money to this guy is a traitor!
Why traitor?

A Unity developer is teasing the Vulkan API in the Unity engine

Quoting: arasp
Unity 5 (and UE4 for that matter) are still thoroughly designed around the needs of the DX11 API. I'm not so sure they can simply port that to Vulkan (or DX12) and really have an optimal solution. It may simply be that the entire engine needs to be rebuilt from the ground to really get the most out of the new APIs.
Correct, it's not enough to do a naïve port to get good performance. That's why Unity (and UE4 for that matter) are changing underlying rendering code in a massive way to make it better match modern APIs like PS4/Vulkan/DX12/Metal. At least in Unity, a lot of graphics related code has been rewritten, and continues to be rewritten as we speak. It's a bit of a challenge to do that while "in flight" (i.e. not breaking existing games etc.), but it's what we're trying. My understanding is that other engines are doing the same.

(I work at Unity)
WoW, you guys do an awesome job! I am very thankful for Unity, especialy for indie developers and more! There are a lot of very great games that just wouldn't have been possible to realize so fast, if not with Unity.

Thank you for your contribution to the Linux community, and developing such a healthy software, forcing the competition to change their game!

wow this looks super nice ^^ :)
I realy love the dedication from Unity3d to Linux! Its in much better thape then for example Unreal Engine, however the Unreal Engine is a much bigger project.

What I dont like, is that Unity 5 still looks like Unity 1: what I am trying to say is, they may add features and new functions, but the general way on how to develop games is not getting generally improved, what is a shame.

Donating to someone doing the work Epic Games is actualy meant to do... this is insane. I appreciate his work, but come on, that is realy Epic Games work, and I wont support Epic Games any longer!!! They had 2 years to bring the Epic Games launcher to linux, and still 0 AFFORD. No access to the marketplace.

Unity3D is better under Linux.

BTW: You didnt mention even once the name of the developer: YAAKURO .

Dota 2 to add two more heroes, one of which is not from the original DotA

Quoting: Mountain ManIt's a fun game, but always playing the same map gets boring. First time I played Dota 2, I was actually shocked when I discovered that it only had one map.
No, the game has hundreds of maps.

Albion Online MMO final beta now available with a new trailer to show it off

I realy would like to buy / play this however the premium thing realy disturbes me:

I hate Freemium games with pay to play content + free content.

Worst of all, even the biggest founders pack for 100$ ONLY gives you premium access for 90 days ...

I like the model in TESO, where even non premium players can access almost all areas and all quests....

I realy realy do like this game, but I dont wanna be fraud on...

AMD drivers just suck and dont offer enough performance and features than the rivals. Accept it. Its the fault of AMD. and AMD only
