This will be a stillborn release. The player base of Evolve has been in a state of free fall ever since the game came out. I strongly recommend against purchasing this one - you'll be essentially trowing your money away.

Unity 5 definitely plays way better with Linux. Hand of Fate saw massive improvement on my 290x after switched engines. Rock solid 60fps maxed out and with the open source drivers.

I think they still have to add the auto-update functionality to the Windows client. I actually got into the closed beta a few months back but I think I turned the thing up, like, once. It's alright and will do what it's supposed to but don't expect Steam and its fancy stuff. It's a very Spartan client to say the least. Still, it will make GoG a more viable option for me when the auto-update feature is added. I refuse to play anything that required me to manually update it :).

How about we all wait and see? Last year when the devs of Starbound announced they're working on a new game there was a wave of howling that there hasn't been an update for ages and the Steam forums were full of silly little trolls that b*tched how the game was a scam and they wanted they money back. 8 months and 2 big winter/spring updates later it's actually "a great and feature rich" game. So, everybody calm down. If you thought the Linux port was high on the priority list - then you were overly optimistic. I for one am positive Larian will deliver sooner or (rather) later.

Why are everybody complaining about a game that hasn't even been ported yet and it is unknown who will do the port and whether it will be ported at all? Let's wait for the port to be released before we start b*tching. Personally I have no problem with VP or the eON wrapper. The Witcher 2 release was a disaster but they kept working on it and it improved immensely. For what we've seen for the past one year VP have drastically improved their wrapper's performance so we have little reason to believe that trend will not continue. People complain that the Witcher 2 still drops in the 30's and 40's and Bioshock: Infinite performs worse than in Windows because of the wrapper yet nobody mentions the fact that Dying Light was unplayable on release and still has severe performance issues. Borderlands 2 never got official Intel or AMD support. Cities: Skyline had it's fps nerfed upon release and although very playable at the moment is still far from the Windows version.
A game being native means nothing for how well it runs if it isn't properly optimised. Using a wrapper is the only way a plethora of games have a change to make it to Linux (it's the only realistic way GTA 5 might ever find its way to Linux). Bioshock still runs circles around Dying Light in terms of Linux performance. If you have some problem in principle with wrappers - I can accept that. I don't understand it (I dual boot) but I'm aware different people have different narratives. However saying that native games' performance is vastly superior to ones with wrapper is just not fair.
Personally, I'm completely fine with a quick and dirty solution if it does the job. That "tiny market" remark was well in place. 1% of the market doesn't get to make demands - it takes what it can. Don't agree with me - ask the Mac guys and how much influence their 10% of market share got them. How quickly people forgot the time when World of Padman was the most advanced game you could play in Linux without Wine...

Quoting: GuestThe best MarioKartLike game is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, i pray to spaghetti monster every day for a Linux port.

True that. I have the Windows version and its tons of fun. It's actually a game that has too much content IMO (I hate the flying parts) :))). Plus you can get it for like 2-3 bucks.

I installed GTAV yesterday and although I've managed to play only an hour and I know chances are less than slim - I so much hope for Linux gamers that this gets ported because the game is brilliant. This is going to be a very strong year for gaming in general. In less than two months we got Pillars of Eternity, Cities: Skyline and now GTAV, each of them an instant classic in its genre. Might I dare say, this may be a new '98 for PC gaming?

Anybody with AMD tried it?
