GoldenEye for N64 run like crap, but it was a revolutionary game on a limited platform. What this game have of so special to need so much RAM?

I will not be surprised if the answer is DRM related.

The hardware have potential, and their Windows drivers are getting attention.

But in Linux, their drivers are still very immature. They do fine on synthetic benchmarks, but in actual games they lag behind, like rear view mirror behind (right Pat?). It is clear they don't have dedicated developers for gaming, and everybody must have been allocated to the AI crazy efforts. And to make things worse, if memory is correct, they fired a couple developers from the Linux team last year.

So no, I would not get one of their new products until they get their shit together on the Linux front.

There is two excuses for the price. One, it is a licensed game. They had to pay royalties for the owners the Terminator franchise. Two, they also licensed the "Bad To The Bone" song, which obviously had to pay royalties.

Lets not forget the original SNES/Genesis game launched for double the price, over 30 years ago, a bad game that don't even compare to this in any metric.

I'm not saying this is a cheap game, just that a equivalent indie game don't have to pay royalties for life to anybody. This one does.

The Memory Mafia (Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology) are behind this. In February of this year they were on the news saying they will reduce production, because there was oversupply and market prices were too low. So they created this scarcity to make prices go up. I hope they rot in hell.

The video being 30fps may indicate this will not be a high FPS on low end devices. I hope the developer finds a good balance between number of zombies and performance.

Valve will not make a new Portal? Fine! I will make my own, with colours, and guns.

I played the demo and, it have problems. Not only things feel generic, but it also have two major sins in a beat'em up game: you cannot grab a opponent and the strike's sound is very disappointing, like punching a pillow.

And looks like this is by design and they will not change it. Which is a shame, because it had the potential to be better than the TMNT game they released a couple years ago, but it is not.

1 - 44 yr old close friend - very tech savvy - mostly used for work - should be easy I think.

To me, those "very tech savvy" are the worst to convert. People who are ignorant in computers just learn what some icons do and that is enough. For all the rest they ask you. People who have some deeper knowledge on Windows tend to become very cranky moving to Linux, because they are used to be the ones people come for help, now they find themselves to be the ones that need help. And a lot of them move back to Windows because they resist changing.

I feel like the lack of impact from the sounds of hitting people is a trailer thing, with the music turned up

Nope. I installed the demo and played it myself. The hit sound do lack power, is like the characters are hitting a pillow. SoR4 got it just right.

Yeah, this one felt a bit unfinished.The sound of your strikes lack some impact, it feels like they got the sound effect of punching a couch or something.

But overall I feel the game have potential. Looks like they sill have a couple months before the release, so I hope they can address most of the problems gamers have pointed in the gameplay.

As of bugs, at least in my rig, it didn't recognized my controllers. They worked fine trough Proton tough.
