Quoting: Jewgeni Filippowitsch IwanowskiSince it has no built-in support for FullHD resolution I changed the following lines in ~/.prey/base/preyconfig.cfg

seta r_customHeight "1080"
seta r_customWidth "1920"
seta r_mode "-1"

The game supports resolutions up to 2560x1440 via .ini edit.

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: ArdjeMeeh! How can I obtain a copy now :-(.

Ebay or......

Well, couple well known grey market key reseller websites still sell Steam keys of Prey (2006). But, as the game uses "LegacyKeyRegistrationMethod: disk" on Steam just like Quake 4, it needs to be launched via WINE to generate preykey which is needed for native client on Linux.

It's shame that near the release of original Prey 2, Bethesda wanted to acquire Human Head Studios that eventually got rejected. After that incident, Bethesda cut the monet flow, introduced unreasonable deadlines, finally took the project from Human Head and then ultimately canceled it. When you beg Bethesda to release Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, Elder Scrolls for Linux, remember that...

Here are in-game videos and screenshots of cancelled Prey 2:

Interestingly enough, the game was built on SFML instead of SDL. Gameplay is smooth and responsive while being hard to master. Being able to watch live replays of other players is quite nice but I suspect that feature uses Steam API which might be a bad news for DRM-Free advocates. Overall, it's a solid speedrunner platformer that I can't wait to see it being played on public events like GDQ and ESA.

Quoting: axredneck> the massive amount of Doom WADs
This. Isn't Doom 2 the game that has more good mods than any other game?

Could be. Arguably Half-Life and Quake follow it. O' glorious id Tech! ;-)

Deus Ex, because it's the best PC game ever made and its IP owned by Square Enix which contracted Feral before.

Quoting: constDidn't know of this games, looks kind of interesting.
It's great that they want to release for linux. Thanks for making me aware.
I'll go buy it now. Will use the link in the article, hoping they give you some of the revenue for promoting the game.

Don't bother, original version ran like ..ap on Windows, I don't expect updated version the run astonishingly better. It won't be released for Linux.

Quoting: SwannySo, I've been meaning to release a new Loki libs with updated ALSA libraries for a while now... However, the iD patch for SDL1 was pretty simple, just to allow enabling and disabling the GL context. I have it applied by default on my Gentoo systems but not sure if it's in my Loki libs. Should do a new release to be sure and make the patch available as it used to be on the iD FTP site.

Holy cow, are you still around? I though devs of that site moved on and never looked back, silly me. :-) Well, ETQW requires pre-2.14 glibc to work properly which is not an easy task with current distros. In fact a custom build recent glibc with "disable-multi-arch" option seems to solve the issue but I couldn't figure out how to compile glibc on Ubuntu. :-)

Also, Quake 4 and ETQW's "improved" binaries have non-standard (probably proprietary) SDL_GL_DisableContext and SDL_GL_EnableContext_Thread functions. As I recently found SDL Compatibility Library which allows SDL 1.2 applications to use SDL 2.0, I wonder if it's possible to port those functions to default SDL 1.2 somehow?
