I love how their installation instructions for Linux are so much shorter than Windows and Mac. Either Linux is that much easier, or they think Linux users are smarter (maybe both). :D

Quoting: CimerydFun that they got it to work, but I'd rather use my PS4 as a PS4 and my computer as the home for Linux. It's the same reason I'd never install Linux on a Mac. It works better than expected, but the software is the only reason to pay such a high price for the hardware, and if you replace the software, you've just bought an overpriced PC.

Even with the Mac software, you've still bought an overpriced PC. :huh:

Also, it looked like they booted into Linux from within the PS4 interface, meaning both OSes were still installed.

Quoting: seb24I have the same experience ^^. The first time pirates defeated me :D . And the second time an Isolationist Empire came with a 17K fleet against my 5K Fleet...

That sounds suspicious. What did you do to piss off the isolationist empire? :)

Quoting: GuestI spent about 11 hours last Sunday playing this game.

And here I was scolding myself for playing 4 hours in one day. Now, when a family member asks, I'll just say, "Hey, at least I didn't pull a posmunk." :D

We don't even know that ConcernedApe had a choice in this matter. Since Chucklefish is the publisher, they might have been under contractual obligation to go through them for ports. This game is a hit, judging from the sales, so we're talking about a lot of money here.

It's a Devil May Cry type of game, something we sorely lack on Linux. It definitely has great potential. I hope they're using the newest version of Unity.

From their kickstarter page:

Sadly, we will need a little more time to finish the Linux and Mac versions. We want to apologize for it, but it will take about 2 additional months after the release. To all those who were waiting for such version, I want to sincerely apologize for the small delay.

Also, keep in mind it's using Unity3D Engine.

Quoting: Username already takenSpacious Skies... Spacious Sky... No Man's Sky... it's a pretty spacious game right? ;)
The bongo is just a red herring. :P
If NMS came to Linux I'd be in heaven. :D

... seriously though, no chance this is NMS.

I'm hoping No Man's Sky will be an in-house port so we don't get that performance hit from Feral. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't unless the hype has gone to their heads and they think they're too good for us now. :)

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is why it's so important to encourage developers to make their games with OpenGL (or even better: Vulkan) in mind from the beginning. I'm curious to find out how much better it will be (if at all) translating from DirectX 12 to Vulkan.
