What game would you most like to see on Linux this year?
1 Mar 2016 at 9:48 pm UTC

Skyrim
The Arkham games
Castle Crashers
Mortal Kombat X
League of Legends
Stardew Valley
The Battlefield series

Aside from that, Linux has done really well attracting Indie devs. I'd love to see Linux completely lock down that niche and be THE platform for indie development!

Quoting: Renzatic Gear
Quoting: ZekThePenguinThere are little to no actual ruins or tombs to explore at Stonehenge, so I'd lean more toward Far Cry Primal than Tomb Raider.
There are little to no actual ruins or tombs to explore in the new Tomb Raider, so it could still be Tomb Raider.

Oh yes. I went there.

Stonehenge is widely considered to be a giant solar calendar. They used that picture in reference to the Spring Equinox. The penguin obviously is referring to Linux. Does it have to do with the game too? Probably. It seems Feral has thought this picture through.

Tomb Raider really does look like it's coming to Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: ziabiceI already downloaded the Windows version to do comparisons and blame AMD or Feral or both.
That said, those damn QTE are capable of ruining a very good game.
No joke! It took me so long to get past the damned river rapids! That and the sneaking could have been better-implemented.
Even so, this game is gorgeous. It's fun to just run around the terrific environment!

Hopefully this will continue up all the way up to supporting mods! @_@

GOL Asks: What have you been playing on Linux & SteamOS recently?

Not sure when controller support showed up for Left 4 Dead 2, but I've been playing that one. More than that, I tend to go back to older favorites during the holidays, so I've been playing Battle for Wesnoth and Rogue Legacy. :D

Falcon Northwest Is Another Company To Remove Their Steam Machine Offering For Now

Meh. Good riddance to Falcon. Wasn't planning to buy their overpriced garbage anyway. They want to stick out as fair-weather partners too? Pretty much guarantees I'll never buy a rig from them.

A Good & Honest Video About The Alienware Steam Machine

I already have more games than I have time to play NOW, and I buy only Linux games. It boggles my mind how many people are stuck on the 'it won't have such-and-so title'. When I got a Genesis I didn't expect it to play Mario games because it was a different platform. True, there were some games that were available on both, but not all of them. In the same way, I'm not expecting every Windows title on Steam OS, but I'm sure there are a LOT of cool games available.
This seems to be tied to the confusion created by the fact that Steam machines are neither Windows PCs nor are they purely consoles. Some are expecting PC top-end performance in a console-sized box (nope), some expect it to have all the same titles (something they wouldn't be surprised by if it was a 'normal console' ), and some expect it to have 'console' versions of games instead of regular PC titles. I look forward to seeing what all Valve will put into Steam OS, but I'm also willing to take it at face-value rather than expecting this hybrid to be fully PC or fully console.
