Good progress, I wonder if they will add tessellation at some point to improve on those low poly count characters and such?

Also the interface really pulls you away from the world, it would be nice if convo dialogue etc was kept in the game world like how FO4 does it, perhaps in the future.

Are the character models and such place holders? seems very low poly with no textures doesn't fit the environments.

Far Cry 3 in Spanish? seems more intense lol.

Wine is really coming along, I do wonder how well it all performs at 4k and how that performance compares to windows. Might do some testing myself sometime soon.

I think its more of a issue of Linux being in the ´too hard´ basket still. Drivers are getting better, and maybe kernel 4.15 will offer some uniform performance for AMD users. The switch from X.org to Wayland is probably also scaring some off, I don't think games will JUST WORK, without special attention.

Well if the Atari console isn't a launch disaster, then we might just get our Linux console under the hood. But I do hope they get the drivers setup right, and also a decent enough GPU. The $299usd pricetag better not be all marketing and brand name because if so then it will sink REAL fast!

Quoting: lijuThis is purely hypothethical, unreal comment.. but just imagine RockStar decides to release Red Dead Redemption 2 on consoles and PC Linux only.

By mass executions I'd assume.

Star Citizen doesn't really use Lumberyard, they forked it long ago and its their own inhouse revision. If they do get it running on Linux (I've heard they have inhouse rendering working on Linux) then maybe they will license it out to developers.

its a real shame, looks like the future for Linux gaming could be getting harder even while the drivers and performance issues are being sorted out. Not much can be done,

I don't think that is whats happening. I believe the increase in quality is mostly due to resolution but probably also anisotropic filtering x16

That is something MS has said their doing, and they often don't allow better resolutions, it will be limited. Also look how long it takes them to actually get around to doing it, when the consoles are at end of life practically.

Quoting: PompesdeskyDoes simply putting an original game disc in one's PC drive work with the emulator ? That should be pretty legal I guess.

You would need a drive capable of reading the area of the disc that has the sector information on, no it is NOT like PC BluRay discs, Sony hide their sector/disc information which is why most people ripped their games on PS3 to its internal HDD first.

Sony should hire these guys and put a optimized version on PS4Pro, for backwards compatibility, but we all know both Sony and MS don't want old games to survive, they would be happy if all older console generation games were deleted from history, money trumps common sense all the time.

But yeah if your going to download these ISO files, then have some common sense and use a VPN regardless of if you own the original disc or not.

Lawyers have proven in the past that they simply don't care how old and unobtainable copyrighted material is, they WILL go after you and force you to pay, here in Australia I think they were getting people to pay $400 for downloading torrents, but even here that can be asking too much! (contrary to popular belief, we're a country of mostly poor people, at least now days, lol)
