Overgrowth has finally left Early Access, after many years of development

Interesting title, it does suffer from quite a fair bit of negative feedback however. Developer should really try to address those complaints!

The Humble Down Under Bundle is a very good deal for Linux gamers

IGN has slipped under my radar for pretty much ever. The only thing I really didn't like is when they killed off voodooextreme review/news site (I think it was them), I really liked the simplicity of how the news was presented on that site. Shame.

OpenMW, the open source Morrowind game engine continues advancing

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.

Singleplayer FPS 'Ravenfield' adds custom weapon support

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.

Amazon Lumberyard game engine is no longer going to support Linux, not enough demand

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,

PS3 emulator RPCS3 now supports high resolution rendering

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
