Quoting: shigutsoFinally... I wonder what took them so long :(
I backed this game on Kickstarter and I regret it a little after seeing all the bad reviews.
But oh well, no turn back now, let's play and try to enjoy it :P

They actually said what took so long: porting their iteration of Unreal Engine 3. That's probably why Rocket League still hasn't been released. Devs underestimate how much of a mess it is to port because Epic never released an official Linux version.

Quoting: 0aTTI already expected this. Not to publish for Linux and Mac means simply to lose money. It's maybe not a lot of money, but money is money. Such games are very expensive to develop. You want to issue as many copies as possible. Therefore I think big games like Deus Ex are still designed from the outset to be portable.

And yet there still probably won't be a Wii U version. :D Who would've thought Linux would have one up on Nintendo?

Quoting: subJudging but what I've read about the hardware requirements and the inefficient renderer, I guess a Linux port will be overly disappointing - performance wise.
But let's see...

That's why I'm hoping they wait on the DirectX 12 version and port to Vulkan (probably wishful thinking though). You're right. If the game requires 8 GB of RAM and an i3 for minimal performance and an i7 and 16 GB of RAM recommended, it might not run at all on most machines using Feral's "IndirectX" OpenGL translator thingamajig.

Wow, this would be huge.

Also, it makes me wonder if this game will be ported to Vulkan since it appears to be shipping with DirectX 12 support.

Has anyone tried it on SteamOS? I'm assuming if Steam Overlay is not working, as you say, then Steam Controllers also won't work.

The Kickstarter page still says the release date is Q1 2015. That's obviously wrong. I would also be surprised if it's a day-one Linux release since it's on Unreal Engine 3. They're probably in for more development headaches than they realize.

Quoting: GuestJust makes me wish No Mans Sky was ported to linux.

It's possible they might. They brought Joe Danger to Linux, and the port wouldn't be too big of a leap since it uses OpenGL. It's more my style than this game. Life is enough of a survival game for me. I want to relax and explore the galaxy.

Quoting: melkemindMy daughter asked me to buy Octodad a while back, and I think she played it once. If you want my extra key, send me your Steam url.

OK, it's gone.

So, does anyone else own it? Yea or Neigh? Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'll try to rein in my humor. No sense beating a dead horse.
