'Tether' a very promising UE4 first-person adventure game will be coming to Linux

As Liam said, ticked all my boxes. That "How to scare players" blog post has me hopeful as well. Should be through Greenlight in no time at all. How is the planning on this? I didn't see anything mentioned anywhere.

Cities: Skylines - Natural Disasters now has an in-game trailer

I don't really have the patience for C:S, but from what I've seen the game is actually quite easy. This could add some much needed problems to the game (if you play it as a game).

Kudos for the inappropriate music in the trailer! :D

Me too. The game did say to choose hard for the real experienced. Everything went fine until the alien came into play. The bloodbath continues. :D

I definitely need to do Oulast. And finish Alien Isolation.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided arrives on SteamOS & Linux on the 3rd of November

I suppose the problem with the AAA titles is that they are in development for a long time and running on engines that have been developed for even longer. Which means that all that DX12 support will be pretty much bolted on without proper engine design for some time to come. The smaller developers appear to be adapting quicker.

But Jahimself is not wrong. From what I picked up on the steam reviews, the framerates on Windows aren't great. So anything they drop will limit the appeal much more than with other games. And I think Shadow of Mordor did the best in comparison to Windows with dropping about 20%-25%. So even if the DX12 renderer of DXMD is not good, it may still be better than the alternative.

However, I'm not so sure they had enough time to do DX12 to Vulkan yet. However, if Feral has also decided that DX12 to Vulkan is a worthwhile investment, we may see it as a test feature at some point. But in two short weeks we will know exactly how they did.

What the heck. My thoughts exactly! So much quicker than I expected. Not that it affects me, but Mac is not mentioned. Did that get delayed due to Metal support or something?

Edit: Ah it actually says that in the news post on the Feral website.

Mad Max released for Linux, port report and review available

I recognise the static noise issue. I had that this week with Shadow Warrior. Both times there was a browser window with a flash open. So it does appear that there is a bug in PulseAudio that causes one app to mess up the sound of another.

The 'SMACH Z' gaming handheld is back on Kickstarter, no longer using SteamOS but their own Linux version

As a project it looks pretty interesting. Unfortunately, the developer has a pretty bad history of failed projects.

Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: coruunConsidering that Steam had the game listed for 6.99€ in the past, I'll buy it, when it's on sale. 30€ is too steep for me :/
I'm hoping for a sale to go along with the Linux release, but I'll buy it regardless.
I think that the 7€ price was a mistake. The reduction was only for the Euro price and corrected very quickly to 10€. Which is still pretty cheap for this game.
