Quoting: GuestHow they have money for another game?
Good question!

And errrr... Will the new title support Linux? :-P

How SteamOS could become a better console competitor
20 Feb 2016 at 7:26 pm UTC

Good article and I agree with the author on most areas.

About the exclusives: I believe that the annoyances of SteamOS and some bugs need to be ironed out first, add some media possibilities and only THEN make some big titles SteamOS / Linux exclusive for a couple of months. The people who learn to know SteamOS that way won't be disappointed.

It would also be a strong signal about how seriously they take their platform.

Added to wishlist.
Same here. Looking forward to playing this title once I finish some games I'm still playing through atm.
Thanks for the great review!

It would be nice if they at least promised to make this a reality in 2016. I'm wanting this so badly!

Quoting: UlukaiGame runs like a train, never drops under 60 FPS and gameplay is solid. Very stable port!
Community server is unreachable, but that seems to be a problem on Windows as well.

Xbox 360 controller works just as expected without issues, but then I tried the Steam Controller today and I can't get it to work! Only the right pad works as a mouse, but no buttons seem to respond and I can't even select things in the menu. :( Anyone else having this? I read in the article that SC works for The Boss??
Guess I just found out what was causing the issue. When I unplugged the Xbox controller and rebooted the system, the SC worked as expected. The main difference with the situation before seems to be that the steamos-xpad gets loaded when you plug in an Xbox controller, which wasn't the case after the reboot.

Mind the combination of Xbox controllers ans SC, or at least as far as Saints Row is concerned, haven't tested the other games.

Grid on -75% is a no brainer. Was waiting for that to happen!

Happy holidays to you all!

For 2016 I'm very much hoping for a Carmageddon release. They promised it a long time ago, but always seem to be working on Windows updates instead of the other platforms and that kinda disappoints me. The new Doom on SteamOS would be very nice too, but I know there is very little chance for that to materialize.
