DiRT Showdown Tested On Linux, Preview Port Report

No, just no. DiRT Rally isn't even out of Early Access. A wrap job would be acceptable years from now... Not before then.

To be honest I wasnt specifically talking about VP doing a port of Dirt Rally, just that if it was ported by anyone (pref. natively) I would snap it up in a shot, but I can see how my comment could be seen that way.

DiRT Showdown Tested On Linux, Preview Port Report

Hmm, this is a maybe pickup; now if they ported Dirt Rally i would be in there like a shot as I vastly prefer the rally games; I pine for something with the career/ season that the old NetworkQ Rally game gave me.


Though I notice showdown is 70% off until the 10th of August; so if lucky that will mean if Im on the ball the sale will be in its last hours when showdown releases for linux and at £2.99 it may be worth a pickup.

Aspyr Media Are Teasing A New Launch Tomorrow

Quoting: EikeShouldn't a VP port be way easier then this?

VP port would certainly be quick and 'easy' though how good the end product would be is open to debate, while I had no major issues with W2, certainly nothing game breaking many did have issues to start with.

Also if CDPR also intends on releasing Cyberpunk for Linux as well it would be easier in the long run to do a proper engine port rather than a wrapper that would be specific to W3 (There was an excellent article on this site a while ago about the different types of port)

Project Red is doing the Witcher 3 port or am I wrong?

Quoting: SslaxxThought that was coming via Virtual Programming?

VP did the Witcher 2 port certainly; I must admit I do think that the W3 port would be internal though I would be more than happy if it was Asypyr or Feral even. I did enquire with CDPR about the W3 steamos / Linux version at the end of June and the response was that they were working on a SteamOS version but had no announced date as it was still a work in progress. But there was no clues as to if it was inhouse or with an external porting company.


Still I can dream :)

The State Of Unity On Linux
13 July 2015 at 8:27 am UTC

I have to say I never had too many problems withs Unity games on my Linux setup, certainly nothing that ever stopped me playing something due to artifacts or especially poor performance.

Whether that is because so long as the game is smooth for me I dont care how it stacks against other platforms or not is open for debate. But any improvements that can be gained on the Unity engine in Linux are always welcome.

Alien: Isolation Looks Like It's Coming To Linux, Oh God, Don't Make Me Play It

Would love this, I watched a full LP on youtube as I never thought it would happen. Oh well by the time its a reality and I have cleared my ever growing backlog I will have forgotten most of it.

Linux Drops Below 1% On The Steam Hardware Survey
6 May 2015 at 9:27 am UTC

I got the steam survey for the first time in over a year on Linux last night, so don't know if I am in those numbers or not, but I haven't been counted for months, and I haven't gamed on windows since before Christmas.
