Quoting: GuestBethesda is going for vulkan and they may change their mind.

Says who? Id Software did Vulkan, But that's because Id has always used OpenGL instead of DX.

Quoting: rkfgI'd like them to port other parts of the already ported games:
Life is Strange ⇒ Life is Strange: Before the Storm
Tomb Raider ⇒ Rise of the Tomb Raider
Bioshock Infinite ⇒ Bioshock 1/2

All of those games are or hopefully will be great. If not those then DOOM 2016 would do, especially because it looks like a potential low effort / high quality port without performance hits. Vulkan rules!

If I remember well, Feral didn't port Bioshock Infinite to Linux, I think it was VP... So VP must be asked port the remastered Bioshock's to Linux.

That doesn't really mean anything. Aspyr did the Mac port of Bioshock Infinite and it's still Feral that did the remaster.

Quoting: DisharmonicUnity should really get 1 Q&A employee to do at least some rudimentary testing on Linux. Some of the bugs that slip through really make me wonder if they test at all. It seems to me that they use the devs as beta testers.

They probably do. That's the problem. These issues don't happen to everyone. This particular problem never occurred on my machine.

I just noticed an interesting development. On the Feral radar "West Norwood" and "XCOM2 War of the Chosen" split into two dots. But "West Norwood" Linux was left in "Soon" while the rest, including the mac version, moved into "very soon".

How could I forget: Shadow of War!

I've seen people constantly ask Feral about porting BioShock Remastered to Linux previous to this, but each request is met with the usual "we have nothing to share" type of reply. Considering it's a popular pick, I hope they look into that one. I would certainly appreciate BioShock Remastered on Linux!

They say that about anything they haven't announced.

So far it seems Doom, Bioshock and The Witcher 3 are popular choices.

Doom won't happen of course. But since they are doing the Bioshock Remaster, it wouldn't seem too hard to do it for Linux. It has my vote! Although, since I already own all the Bioshock stuff, I'd have to buy something else to compensate.

Witcher 3 I'd like to have too. It could be possible if CDPR doesn't have some sort of deal with VP. Of course, I don't care who ports it!

Quoting: GuestIt's a bit odd. DLC like this is normally just data, as game logic is often scripted now in some high level language like Lua... this usually means there is no need to "port" DLC content. If it's on Steam, it could just be a depot misconfiguration, or a package grant issue.

Unless they do certain optimisations that requires data to be packaged differently. Easily checked if you have access to Windows. If not that, then only testing remains.

Stasis- Still a few glitches remaining on the Linux build, but nothing that could keep me from finishing it. The atmosphere in this game is awesome!
Brutal Legend - A bit of an odd game. But if the music is your thing, just driving around doing nothing is pretty good already. :D
Deponia Doomsday - Must. Finish. Deponia!
The Long Dark - I've been playing the story mode. Initially I didn't really like it. But once it lets go of the leash, it feels much more like The Long Dark again. So far, partly into episode 2, the amount of story is not actually that big.

Looks nice. Not too interested in playing it before it's content complete though.

Quoting: GuestHLSL support means less work for porting games from DirectX?

They would generate Vulkan shader language using HLSL thus decreasing time required for porting. Or I got it wrong :)

They want a HLSL to SPIR-V compiler. IIRC, that is already being worked on by someone.
