Quoting: WienerWuerstel

Graphics: 4GB

I wonder how this one will run on a GTX 970 on the highest settings at 1920x1080 then. I guess we will know more in 8-9 days :D

Oh god, poor me.

Quoting: ElectricPrismUsers are going wild over at the PA Steam Forum because DLC was promised free to EA backers @ $90 a pop. This DLC/Mod/Expansion whatever you wanna call it has made people livid - go grab your pitchforks and popcorn folks [External Link] .

I got my copy for free, so would anyone from KS. They said that in the Kickstarter update, anyone who didn't gets a discount if they already own PA.

There is nothing to get annoyed about.

Quoting: ElectricPrismSo the original gameplay of Planetary Annihilation was terrible from a StarCraft BroodWar addict's point of view. Now they made a newer version of Planetary Annihilation for $40.

Well, I guess someone will probably like it, but It's a sad day for me knowing that that person isn't going to be me.

PA and what it is inspired from was nothing like Starcraft 1/2. I've played both SC games, and PA + TITANS now too, and I like them all.

Quoting: Keyrock"Their PR email sent out later has confirmed multiplayer is Linux to Linux only."

Bummer. :'(

Empire Total War was the same to start with but they fixed it soon after release.

That one is still only Mac vs Linux, no Windows play.

Just means we need to arrange some games ;)

I have it confirmed from their PR that multiplayer is Linux-Linux only, so not cross platform online.

Quoting: fizzgigLittle mistake in the article. The game is based on the Unreal Engine.

You're rotally right. Wrote it on my sheet and then entered the wrong name here. :-/
Liam, would you? (Is there a possibility I could edit my own articles?)

Fixed it. Editing is generally left for people of editor status, so random submissions from anyone can't get messed up too much (if that makes sense?).

Erm, Risk of Rain is by a completely different developer.

Quoting: michawell, the graphics actually look worse than most last gen shooters atm. So not really a great advertisement for UE4.. still looking forward to newer versions. =)

Well, it's in Alpha, as mentioned most are place-holders.

Quoting: sorathAt first thanks for benchmarks for AMD videocard.

Could you clarify please: FGLRX 15.20 is Catalyst 15.7? On Ubuntu Catalyst 15.3beta AFAIR also was marked as fglrx 15.20.

Could you also compare game's performance between Linux and Windows ports with the same video cards if WIndows OS is available for you?

I'm not entirely sure if the FGLRX I installed from the repositories was 15.7 but I think it was. I still don't understand the Catalyst version numbering too well.

As for the Windows comparisons, I will not run such things on my hardware. The only Windows license I had was thrown to Liam and getting a new license is too expensive. In addition to that I don't like Windows a whole lot and I don't want to put up with its quirks for the sake of booting it up maybe 4 times a year for some comparisons. Also, I would have to get a new hard drive because I'm not wasting a gigabyte of my current storage for something like Windows.

I am still on the fence if I actually want to even use that Windows key myself. I'm not interested personally, but I know others are. It will take a lot of time away from writing stuff to benchmark on an additional platform I don't care about.
