Feral Interactive have no plans to put their Linux ports on GOG
18 Jun 2018 at 10:01 am UTC Likes: 1

From most of the devs I have tried to reach through steam forums, some answer that they simply don't pull games on gog because it's more complicated to do so.
So I guess it has a cost to do it. No matter how good feral ports are, it is still a little structure working on a niche market, for now we'll have to wait and see, hoping that the linux gaming commmunity keeps growing.

I'm quite confident they would like to distribute the game on gog, but maybe they would also like to be able to do it in their own store, obviously it seems complicated to do so.

Excellent, the last 1.7x update completly broke the performance on linux, it's an excellent news! I questionned them earlier about a switch to vulkan, not only they did it, and the perfs are so much better.

Thanks a lot liam for this news, and also gaijin for not letting down tux gaming.

With vulkan and new multi core cpus, the future of gaming will explode in the next year once the devs will fully manage all those news technologies.

By year 2023 if you look at the flatpak initiatives, a distribution like linux mint should be a perfect substitute for windows 10. This distro among others is already doing things pretty well for new comers and even for busy people who have not much time to setup their OS and its environment.

Want to play Track Mania Nations Forever on Linux using Wine? There's a snap for that

Nice, if it can make it simpler. Does the snap include like a wrapped version of wine withing the snap?

Otherwise the game works perfectly if you have wine installed. I just have a little glitch on the launching menu when it pops up. But hovering the mouse on it make the options appears.

It is still a great game after all these years and it still looks quite good if you max out the graphic settings.

Intel has confirmed their plans for a discrete GPU to release in 2020

Having a third actor is never bad, but the thing is that they already are leaders in the CPU Market... They kind of stole Raja Koduri from AMD, and now they taking Jim Keller, which is the guy behind all the improvment done by Tesla, Zen architecture for AMD, and also many improvment for Apple.

So I'm pretty scare by Intel to be honest. They also bought McAfee which was a crap antivirus, and they transformed it in a spyware tool which is even worse at detective any threat... In one way it could be a good thing if they do the same with GPU, but I really don't think it will be bad.

Unfortunately for AMD or Nvidia and in the end all PC gamer. Because if everyone buy Intel GPU, which could also in the future integrate those chips inside the CPU, in this case they will end up as a total monopoly.

Performancewise, Rise of Tomb Raider was an exceptionnal port, but this one seems to really be the best one ever made by feral.

Beep boop the Feral Interactive port radar has a UFO sighting for a new Linux port
1 Jun 2018 at 2:33 pm UTC Likes: 1

What we can expect:

A major title or close to triple A.

Will be released on a thursday mid-day or evening.

Port will surely be awesome.

Could be Dark Soul 3 or Shadow of Tomb Raider, but also total war warhammer 2. I would be pleasently surprised if it was something different from Creative Assembly or Square Enix. (unless we have nier automata :p)
