Quoting: ElectricPrismYou can't build a house in 1 day by spending extra money.

I dunno I think in China you could build a house in 1 day, they have been building stuff overnight or in 1 day for a long time because their labour force is that fast to mobilise! In the US/western World, not so much, we are slow and weighted down with bureaucracy!

Quoting: ElectricPrismYou can't solve world hunger with money.

Unprecedented construction of vertical gardens would probably go a long way however!

Quoting: ElectricPrismYou can't fix the driver and tool-chain game development problems on Linux with money

More full time workers on these projects would probably go a long way again.

Anyway, just saying, money can solve allot more problems then people think. If your a powerful corporation that is, the issue is you must consider if the losses are worth it for the money spent!

Quoting: ScooptaIf MS bought Bethesda I'd be so sad. I'm still waiting for my Linux port of Skyrim.

Bethesda are even more anti Linux then Microsoft!

2018 is the year of expensive GPU's, like double to triple launch day prices in some places. A tough year for VR adoption I think. I'm sure the HMD makers will feel that. Will be surprised if we see any new top end cards in 2018, AMD also not interested in competing with 1080ti until 2019, IMO its a mess!

"Developers, developers, developers!!!" then pulls his hamstring.. lol. That guy is hilarious.

Anyway with drivers becoming quite good under linux now, and linux 4.16 looking to being the Goldilocks of optimisations for many things, coupled with all the dx to vk stuff, its looking good for Linux really.

ToBeHonest the directx-to-vulkan projects (there are 3 of them) are looking quite promising for the future of windows games under Linux. I mean a native port would be nice but I don't think any of these devs would do that even if they released it officially for Linux (they would just redirect rendering calls just like how wine projects are).

As for what game Feral should port next..... well give us a list of the developers who have said maybe! it seems to me that only VERY FEW developers are even open to the idea of their games on Linux which leaves a very limited unknown selection for us to choose from. I've always said we need CLASSIC and POPULAR AAA titles on Linux, either all.

If GTA5 got a linux release, it would be earth shattering indeed, but as we have found out over the years, some developers are very hostile towards linux, even when someone else is doing most the work for them...

Looks pretty fancy, I wonder if terrain is deformative based, and if you can knock over pushes and trees (assuming your going fast enough). Either way it looks pretty damn good, I will definitely look at getting it once released.

The first gif must be the game in some sort of advanced mode with extra hud data showing up on tires and terrain.

Game ran decent last time I tried it (at 4k) and their using Unity3D so there shouldn't be too many barriers to get it on Linux really.

Is this game like RimWorld?

Quoting: tuubiAnd I see no reason to suspect that they're going out of business.

Then you must be very new to Crytek and their history of not paying their staff and having many leave, along with their terrible attempts at lawsuits. A successful company does not these things... I hope they pull their finger out and find a way to survive, but the CEO's seem to be 12 year olds.

Quoting: facePlantedWhat about Amazon Lumberyard (and Star Citizen) ?

SHHHHHHhhh. If they pretend it doesn't exist, then they can assume they have the best engine version out the door, and Chris Roberts owes them shitloads...

But yeah, DITCH OPENGL, MOVE TO VULKAN, OR GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN CRYTEK! I somehow doubt this company will be around next year.
