Talos Principle & Serious Sam 3 getting Vulkan updates, Serious Sam 4 will be on a much improved engine
26 Jan 2016 at 1:31 pm UTC Likes: 1

I have SS3 for years, but as I have a AMD card, never get good performance from it.

So I launched it now to see how it perform in my new (got it very cheap from a friend) Ivy Bridge i7 & R9 290 and still can't get 60 fps in the open areas in ultra settings, using radeonsi OSS driver (can get 100 fps in CS:GO for reference). And discovered that it only heavily use one core, so i think its not a multi-thread engine.

If they got Vulkan working, lets hope they update the engine to be multi-thread too.

Mighty No. 9 delayed again due to networking problems
26 Jan 2016 at 1:12 am UTC

Last year I have lost my faith in Keiji Inafune because of that Kickstarter fiasco. Now they just confirm it again. How such a simple game like this can be delayed so many times? If one or two platforms are holding then back why not launch the finished ones?

And his involvement in 2 more games before he deliver the first one, for the people who put his name back on track, who paid in advance?

Sorry, but I will not buy this game if its not turn out in game of the year material. I do not want to encourage this type of behavior from a developer.

Escape from Tarkov, the new Russian Survival MMO FPS looks like it's heading to Linux
25 Jan 2016 at 8:32 pm UTC

Quoting: FireDart
Quoting: MagbedThis game is actually made with Unity 5.... unbelivable...
Wait, really?!?!

The wall textures, air particles and plants scream cryengine or unreal.

Do you have a source? I'm honestly surprised.
They have a FAQ, is there. Some early commenter already posted the link.

The game is based on Unity 5, but many essential functions were created by us from the scratch.
Lets hope it to have better performance than other Unity ports, and better gamepad support too, because in Unity is atrocious.

Aspyr has been quiet lately, compared to Virtual Programing and Feral. Let's hope they launch some games this year.

Homefront: The Revolution aiming for a day-1 Linux & SteamOS release on May 20th
12 Jan 2016 at 7:18 pm UTC

The funny thing about this Homefront game is that Crysis, using Cryengine 2, was about a strong and technologically advanced North Korea (and aliens).

Speaking of Crysis, I wold love to see Crytek buy the IP from EA and launch it for other platforms. It would be nice to play Crysis 3 outside that terrible Origin client.

SteamOS beta updated to support Xbox One Elite gamepad

They enabling support in the OS will not guarantee that the games will work with it. Unigine games and Aspyr ports do not work with the Xbox One controller.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive updated, now with nicer sound options for Linux
9 Jan 2016 at 1:34 am UTC

I noticed the mouse was slower, so a increase in mouse sensibility. But yeah, didn't look the same as before, but is not unplayable, at last to me.

I wish they fix the sound problems in L4D2. Every time it resets to 5.1 and it do not work in my system. The rear speakers didn't emite sound. CS:GO got surround sound just right for a while now.

Unity Game Engine updated for Linux, now built on Unity 5.3.1

When they will fix their crap controller support? Other engines recognizes whatever controller you plug, but Unity works via a whitelist method, and even in this way there are issues, like the classic "turn your thumbsticks in circles to calibrate" before starting a game.

Ori and the Blind Forest won't come to Linux for now, thanks to Microsoft

Dust: A Elysian Tail has a Microsoft Studios logo in the opening. Mark of the Ninja and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet are also published in Steam by Microsoft Studios.

So, to me is perfectly possible Ori to apear in an non Microsoft platform
