I collected some points and info from the comments here, sent an email to Big Finish Games.

Hello Big Finish Games. About Tesla Effect, will there be a Linux port afterall?

Bink's Unity plugin has supported Linux since August this year and Bink2 libraries do exist for Linux.

What about replacing Bink with other codec, and use corresponding decoder with ffmpeg for example? What about skipping the cutscenes altogether with descriptive texts?

Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Got the following reply:

Hi,

Can you provide a link to that information.
I'm not aware of a Bink Linux Unity plugin for the version of Unity we are using for Tesla.

Edit: another reply (after sending in some links, for example the one provided by user "tuubi" http://www.radgametools.com/bnkhist.htm [External Link] and http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/12/08/unity-5-3-all-new-features-and-more-platforms/) [External Link]

Ahh...
That's a good link.

Look at this line:
Unity update: Unity 5.x compatibility, 64-bit Unity, Bink 1
compatibilty, errors to Debug.Log.

It suggests to me that Bink 1 (we use Bink 2) support for Unity 5 (the game
is written in unity 4)

When I look in the Unity 4.6 documentation I don't see Linux listed as a
supported platform.
(and I think 4.6 came out after our release)

So. I'm not interested in scanning vague posts about this.
I've reached out to my contact at Rad.we'll see what he says.

Let's see what happens.
I'm not dropping this in my calendar. If you don't hear from me by next
mon/tues of next week feel free to reach out.
(I won't be in the office the last two weeks of December)

At least it's not another "horror" outfit.. I don't like those at all. I find this something to look forward to :)

I guess i might be missing something, haven't followed review videos etc. but this "hype" around Batman: Arkham Knight...

Is this game in a spotlight because of its amazing graphics? Or because it's Batman? Or because it's a truly fantastic game with a great story? I find for example KOTOR as such.

Quoting: STiATI didn't finish HL2 either, not even HL1. It never fixed me, basically I could say I didn't like the game at all.

Count me in also. I owned HL1 and Blueshift from the start, tried to play them both more further in many, many occasions, but always ended up feeling i'm forcing myself to it. Bought 'em due the massive hype at the time, i suppose. The HL games are obviously not bad, no, just can't get into much feeling playing them.

Then again, the Jedi Knight series... i consider 'em like the best games ever.

I suppose this has to do with December's big SteamOS release also. Vulkan takes Linux gaming to a whole new level (?)

KOTOR's are amongst all time top 5 fave games of mine. Completed both with much passion and enthusiasm back then.

Will wait until purchasing because of those bug and mod issues, though.
