The graphics and art style reminds me of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Quoting: Beamboomwow - and so cheap too? Wonder if it's very short then?

It's "early access". It's not unusual for developers to price their games low to attract early suckers customers and then raise the price as the game nears completion (if it ever gets that far).

Quoting: mas886This game is really amazing. I'm still waiting for someone making a Lord of The Rings mod for it.

I'm waiting for the game to actually leave alpha. It has been in development for nearly a decade, which is notable in and of itself since open source game projects tend to be abandoned after a couple of years, but I'm still suspicious that it will never really be finished.

...promised same-day Linux support!

I'll believe it when I see it.

Quoting: GrimfistSadly they do not support Vulkan, would really like to see a good Vulkan Benchmark for Linux.

Just ran it yesterday evening on 1080p extreme preset. My machine got only 1100-somthing score, whereas HexDSLs machine (nearly exact same hardware, same gpu, same driver) got over 1500. Only difference so far was, he uses Antergos and I still use Ubuntu 16.04. So maybe this was another coffin nail for Ubuntu.

I doubt it has anything to do with your choice of distro. Every benchmark I was able to find shows that Ubuntu and Antergos have essentially identical performance. No doubt your issue lies elsewhere.

Quoting: EgonautWhile the performance is much better with the Vulkan renderer, it's still heavily single core bound. I have around 100-140 FPS in the actual game (Ultra @1080p) but when I'm driving around the FPS drops very often below 60 FPS. When the FPS drops, always one core is at 100% load and GPU load goes down.

I don't expect any magical fix for this, since it's still a port and there will be always down sides. But instead of trying to get the max FPS more upwards, maybe Feral could try to get the load more balanced on threads, if possible. If I could have stable 60 FPS I would be more happy as with 100+FPS and drops below 60 :)

Well, it is still beta, so I suspect there's more optimization to come.

Quoting: KohriasI wish these companies would be sued for this. It still sounds like fraud to me.

I agree. Lack of accountability is the biggest problem with crowd funding.

Am I the only one who is annoyed by and subsequently doesn't give a crap about these "teasers"? If you have something to announce then just announce it.

I think once I get some more cash to spend, I'll be giving a bunch of it to Paradox. Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron IV, and Stellaris all have juicy new content that I want to buy!

Question: Is there any interest in me doing a separate site to cover general Linux news?

In my case, no. There are already dozens of tech sites out there covering Linux news. Stick with your niche.
