I'm assuming that this game does not spoil Stasis. Can anybody confirm that?

It's interesting that there are at least two games in the "most anticipated for 2017" category for which there is absolutely no indication that they will come this year (or at all).

No huge surprises in the result. Although, while I expected Feral to win the favourite porter, the margin is quite a bit bigger than I expected. I think the most important reason for them to win is not the number of releases, but their community involvement.

Quoting: AimelaI'm curious, how was gaming in Linux before 2013? I only became aware that Linux was anything more than a CLI OS(as in, completely lacking any GUI elements) in the second half of 2013 and installed Ubuntu for the first time in October of that year, after Steam had officially started supporting linux.

I started using Linux as my primary desktop OS in 2002. So you were slightly late. :D I didn't do too much gaming back then, but there was more out there than you realise. ID software was mentioned, but by the LOKI had come (and almost gone) and after that Linux Game Publishing did quite a few ports (I have a stack of DVDs from them). Not quite the numbers generated by Humble and Steam, but enough to fill my available gaming time.

Quoting: jgacasCan somebody tell me, from their experience, does Alien Isolation works on GTX 560 and how good it performs?

I can't say anything about a 560, but I used to play this on a GTX 650 Ti Boost and got very good fps (mostly 60 even) on pretty high settings. Maybe that helps for comparisons.

I need to get back to this. I kept getting killed by impatience. :P

Submitting was a lot easier than actually voting. The pain!

I just noticed that this game is now available with Linux support in the store.

Quoting: DarkDuoGames[1] The game didn't install for Ehvis - not sure if he was able to fix this?

My mistake. I actually edited the post about a minute later.

Had a few plays with the game. It runs fine and I haven't had any issues so far. Only that it doesn't VSYNC and therefore runs at much too high fps, even at 3440x1440.

As for the game, it's a little bit of good fun. Rotating the "ship" is a nice touch. I keep trying to use it to give an extra punch to the ball, but that doesn't actually work. I think the whole advantage of pong on modern systems would be to have some extra physics calculated. Spin would be nice, but that would mean atmosphere and actually slowing the balls down.

Obviously you want to invite steam friends to play as well, but I'm sure that is already on the todo.

It won't install for me. If I click install, it doesn't give me a size. Then finishes instantly, but leaves only an empty directory.

And I could also read and select the correct branch.

Quoting: tmtvlIs most anticipated only for games with a definitive release date? 'Cause I submitted Bloodstained [External Link] but they haven't promised a definitive release date yet.

In fact, Bloodstained was already moved to H1 2018 a while back.
