Can you do cockpit view rather than 3rd person?

Homefront: The Revolution is starting to show signs that the Linux port is alive and coming

Here's hoping for Vulkan support by the time it drops for the penguin. I suppose that's more up to Crytek than Dambuster, though.

A Linux release for Kingdom Come: Deliverance still looks very unclear

I imagine this all hinges on CryEngine Vulkan support, probably the same thing holding up Homefront Revolution

We Happy Few to release on Linux after the full release, not during Early Access
10 Sep 2016 at 9:26 pm UTC

Even though the devs said at one point Linux would happen during early access, I never expected it to happen, especially since the devs were kinda reluctant about Linux during the kickstarter, implying they were not experienced or comfortable with developing for Linux. As long as the wait after full release is reasonable (i.e. a couple months), and not what happened with D: OS, I'll be happy.

ARK: Survival Evolved gains a paid DLC while still being in Early Access, reviews are destroying it

Quoting: GuestWhy not just not buy the DLC? Why all the hate? It isn't required or pay to win DLC. Why is everyone in such an uproar? Ark is better quality an most triple A titles when they release....
Because it sets a bad precedent. If people let this slide and these devs don't get a heaping helping of negative feedback (thankfully they already have) then Ubisoft, EA, Activision, and the rest are going to start pulling crap like this. Then they will push the envelope further. Then a couple years from now when people are wondering "how did it get so bad" those people that said "Why is everyone in such an uproar?" and defended the Ark devs today need look no further than the mirror when looking for someone to blame.

I'm glad they are getting called out on this and having their name dragged through the mud, they deserve to be.

Look, I get the lawsuit settlement hirt them and they felt the need to recoup the money right away. That doesn't make this right, though. Paid DLC for a game still in early access is a very dangerous precedent and we (consumers and media alike) need to make damn sure that the message comes across loud and clear "this sort of crap will not be tolerated". We can't allow other publishers and developers to think they can get away with crap like this.

Releasing paid DLC for a title still in active development opens up all kinds of cans of worms. For example, how much of the content in the DLC is content that was originally supposed to be added in to the base game during early access? Also, how much time was taken away from fixing the multitude of serious bugs to make this DLC?

We can't allow thos to become the new standard. DLC and microtransaction practices have already gotten bad enough as it is.

Can we just let this thing go and forget about TW3 unless something of consequence happens?

OpenMW 0.40 released, playing Morrowind on Linux natively gets closer to perfection
6 Sep 2016 at 9:47 pm UTC

Soon. Soon I will be able to play the second best piece of software (and the best full game) Bethesda has ever made. I'm going to wait for shadows and distant lands, though. I've waited this long, might as well wait a bit longer.
