Linux Game Awards May 2014 Open For Voting

Quoting: HeimdallArx and Doomsday shouldn't be on there as they benefited from the source release of their games. The rest were built from the ground up.
I agree, but annoyingly I was told I was being "pedantic" by another site owner who is also an award supporter.

Quoting: Mr AngryHas everyone forgotten the "Unreal Tournament 3 on Linux" debacle? I certainly haven't, so FUCK YOU EPIC
Yeah a company made a mistake, let's burn them down over a mediocre game when hundreds of AAA games could come in future thanks to them.

Yeah fuck you epic.

Quoting: berillionsHi Liam,

Have you got the possibility to ask to "Zombie Studio" if their game called "Daylight" will be available in the future on Linux/SteamOS. It's the first game on PC/Console which use UnrealEngine 4

Thanks,
Max
I have snail mailed them.

System Shock 2 FPS Now Available On Linux
3 Apr 2014 at 12:45 pm UTC

Quoting: CybolicI'll have to disagree as well.
The audio is crackling for me, like in many other Wine games, and the loading times, the delay for the pause menu and loading/saving are several minutes and I'm on a 4GHz Intel i7 with 48GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 660 Ti and running the game from a striped SSD array - there's clearly something wrong with the Wine layer.
Move the audio off of OpenAL, fixed the sound for me.

Tropico 5 City-Building Sim To Release Along-Side Steam Machines
2 Apr 2014 at 7:59 pm UTC

Quoting: pbI have a feeling that when Steamboxes start to ship, they will be accompanied by some big releases - Tropico 5, Civilization V, X-COM, Project Cars, maybe Age of Wonders 3, and... could it be... Half-Life 3? I'm not sure if HL3 has been in the works long enough, though.
I agree, it now makes me pretty sure XCOM is also waiting for the first Steam Machine release.
