Quoting: FutureSutureCan any of you tell me how Unvanquished compares to Natural Selection 2?

Apart from the graphical quality difference it does play very differently, partly due to being far more complete than Unvanquished. The gameplay is a little bit slower as well in NS2 and just feels better.

And what about Tremulous?

Quoting: toorwould it be safe to pay it on steam? I mean, are we sure it will be available on steam linux?

I myself would only buy a title once it is actualy available for Linux to ensure that it counts as a sale for Linux as well as to be on the safe side.

The quote in this piece is great. Really gives me hope for the future of gaming on Linux.

Now I can finally use the Steam overlay for Xonotic and Red Eclipse, correct? Glad life is moving forward!

I sincerely hope that Left 4 Dead does get ported. It just wouldn't make sense to me for it not to get ported considering Valve's previous efforts. In addition, I think it would make most sense for Valve to release games in terms of their requirements i.e. games with higher requirements should be released later to benefit from newer graphics drivers.

More pressure for the folks at GOG to add Linux support as they sell all the games in this series! Does this mean that the sequels will be coming to Linux as well?

And this is really coming to Linux? Looks pretty good! Graphics look nice and the gameplay intriguing. I hope it's not much like Counter-Strike: Source for I just cannot wrap my head around that game.

Quoting: liamdaweActually the difference here is that gog.com's downloaders once downloaded will still work (you could backup your collection).

If Steam went down you don't have that choice since your game downloads are tied directly to their client?

Not exactly sure what you're saying here? If steam went down you'd still be able to play any games which the devs didn't put drm into.

I don't know about you but I don't have every game I own on Steam downloaded, what would happen if it went down - I wouldn't be able to download my games and play them.

It's a risk we all take and it is a risk.

What I believe he is saying, Liam, is that there are in fact some games which do not require the Steam client to run. I have never tested this, only heard of it, and it's likely only a small minority that benefit from being DRM free.
