It looks like their new logo that they have at the start of their games, the cheetah made up of bullet holes. I'm hoping it's a sequel to one of their ported games, Warhammer 2.

Quoting: lucifertdarkTotal War Warhammer 2, why? because it's Warhammer, do you really need any other reasons?

Whatever game they choose next to port I hope it's one I DON'T already own.

TW Warhammer 2 would be my no. 1 request, I'm really enjoying the first game and surely it would be more straightforward to port it than some other games as the groundwork has already been done for the first game. I'm really hoping Feral release the sequel this year, I would really like to play as the Tomb Kings, Lizardmen and Skaven.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: ScooptaI'm personally a bit disappointed that wine won. I believe wine is terrible for Linux gaming as a whole and I don't believe it should be used but oh well.

First, I think the project is an amazing feat.

For Linux gaming, I'm not 100% sure. I guess it makes Linux users buy Windows games, which is a bad thing. On the other hand, I've seen people on the forums switching to Linux who asked how they could run the games they own and love, and WINE is the answer to this question.

I don't use WINE for gaming, though.

I am starting to change my mind about WINE, I now think it would be great if someone could switch to Linux and still have easy access to all their Windows games. It would greatly lower the barrier to switching, many of the big developers (EA, Ubisoft, Activision) don't support Linux because the market is too small, if WINE could help the switch in the long term it would increase the viability of native games, which could then in turn cause a sea change of migrations.

I think many people on Windows would be much more inclined to switch the underlying OS to a better one if all their software investment still worked.

I really like that the GOL readers vote rather than have a curated list by Liam and team. Its a fun way to recognise the developers and games that we have enjoyed throughout the year, and nice to see what's popular with others. After all there is nothing really at stake.

There are quite a few games in the lists that I wouldn't have considered, or hadn't heard of, but seeing their popularity I will look at them and maybe buy them.

"It got to the point where I actually had to block one of their team on Twitter for repeatedly trolling our Twitter account with pathetic anti-Linux comments. On top of that, they started jumping in on Tweets from us to other developers, to shit-post about Linux. I won't say who, or link to it, as I don't want a witchhunt, but safe to say they're one developer who I've probably been the least impressed with in a very long time."

Wow, you would expect developers to be a bit more professional!

Quoting: liamdawe3) This is all based on releases people actually know/really think will come. Many more games actually arrive than people expect.

That is of course true, but also the known titles do give an indication of the state of affairs. Her's hoping a few major bombs will drop this year too!

Naturally, a lot of the bigger titles aren't announced until they're confident about a release date, I wouldn't say titles we actually know is an indicator of anything right now :)

Just wait and see, there will be a number of juicy releases this year, you can bet on it :P (I could probably say that line for the next 2-3 years and still be right ;)).

That's good news, it seems many of the big AAA Linux titles come out of nowhere, whereas the console type AAA's get hyped up for years in advance.

I think last year wasn't a particularly great year for AAA games in general. Nintendo hit it out of the park with top quality games, there were a handful of excellent platform exclusives like Horizon Dawn, but very few multi-platform must-have games. Other than PUBG, which is still in Beta quality, Assassins Creed Origins and Divinity 2, I'm struggling to think what we missed out on?

" Street Fighter V is still coming according to a recent BoilingSteam interview with TTimo."

That's great news! I thought it had been cancelled.

Quoting: micha> Favourite Linux game porter of 2017

That category is soooooo mean. Pretty sure most love all of them! =)

I need 9 votes for that category I love them all! Such a hard decision to choose only one, but for me I'd have to say Feral again for the quality and number of ports they do each year.

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: Xpanderhmm, i have seen very similar game somewhere before with a different name. the forest sections in the trailer seem like copy-paste from the other one. Or maybe its the same game with different name now?

Likely this one: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/lonely-mountains-downhill-an-arcade-style-mountain-biking-game-is-on-kickstarter-with-linux-support.10598

nope, it seems it was that :D

I think they both look good, MTB Freeride more realistic and slow, Descenders faster and more arcade style. Jumping over the train looked like fun!
