Looks really good to me! I hope multiplayer works out.

I ruled this one out because I heard that the co-op wasn't great... something to the effect of too little interaction. Has anyone played co-op? I am not sure I'd play For The King on my own unless there is a cool story. I don't play a lot of single-player games just because they're mechanically good.

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: PikoloIt would have to beat Phoronix Test Suite to be considered... and since it's not open source, it would have to beat it quite a bit.

apples & oranges, near as I can tell. This is a standalone benchmark, not a tool to run other benchmarks.

The reason this GPU benchmark is very appealing to me is because I haven't been able to run the GPU tests from Phoronix. The only GPU benchmarks that work for me are Unigine Heaven and Unigine Valley.

Due to my pile of unplayed games, I can live with a delay. As long as it comes to Linux before the graphics are ancient and it runs well, I will be pleased enough. If it was a multiplayer games that my friends wanted to play with me now, it would be a different story.

The information is definitely worth posting. Sounds promising and worth getting excited. Worth backing, though? Probably prudent to wait and see.

I'll have to have my wife watch this trailer. I was thinking it'd be fun to play with her, but I don't know if she's up to that level of frantic. She might be.

Because we'd play locally, this is one rare case that I wouldn't mind lack of cross-platform play too much.

I really appreciate the graphics more than PUBG. I would like a proper replacement to PUBG that works on Linux and lets me play with my Windows buddies.

You can already do these things in the Steam client:
- Add voice to group chat
- Chat history
- Tabbed chats
- Appear offline

I don't like that the voice chat won't be P2P anymore. I would rather not have the session go through a middle-man. Oh well. I don't use Steam voice chat anyway.

Quoting: TiedemannSome time in the future we will be so incredibly fortunate that we can use a MS account to log on to github, then we can use the same account to log on to the MS store and buy games to run them on Linux. I'm scared.

Anyway, I really look forward to this game. It looks great and crazy enough to be interesting.

Even though I am also scared, think of this as well:
- Look at Visual Studio Code. It's open sourced and it runs on Linux. Granted, this product is not a game.
- If MS store games really did work on Linux, then we wouldn't have much reason to dislike MS DRM any more than Steam DRM.

Quoting: RetrogamerWoah, Microsoft is on a buying spree as of late.

Might mean that their existing products and services are not growing.
