During the Microsoft event , two games got my attention.

The Last Night and Metro Exodus.

I hope Metro comes too , i have Metro Redux series and they're running great.

Quoting: fcastilloI just got this game a couple of months ago but never played it because I couldn't change the monitor where it opened. It was annoying and ultimately unplayable. Hopefully this new edition will fix any remaining issues on linux.
No , they won't. There is a topic down there on Steam and that Overkill Almir is repyling every question. Except Linux related ones.

I've asked two times with one via quoting but he avoided them.

They won't fix anything.

Feral Interactive have released the required specifications for Dawn of War III on Linux
7 Jun 2017 at 6:42 pm UTC

Quoting: hiryuThe system requirements are definitely higher than Windows... I am going to assume those are the OpenGL requirements. With Vulkan, I'd still expect the requirements to be higher than Windows, but somewhat less higher as I don't expect this game to be super heavily optimized for Vulkan.
Feral's Vulkan works are not exactly native ports as i understand from recent Vulkan panel.

Only native and true Vulkan game is, id's Doom.

That can count as a win but a real winning will be the Sony PlayStation using Vulkan

Breaking Point, an Arma 3 mod is moving to Unreal Engine 4 with Kickstarter, Linux & Vulkan planned
2 Jun 2017 at 2:04 pm UTC

Quoting: FaalagornThe funniest part is, if I'm reading it right, that they plan on support both Vulkan under Linux and DX12 under Windows. That's especially unusual, since most of the games are nowadays opting to one on another (I think the only one with actual implementation of both will be Ashes of Singularity, when Vulkan comes out).
Only possible reason for that:

They're probably aiming for a late Xbox One release , that is why they're using DirectX 12 since it is on Xbox One too.

Vulkan side needs a PlayStation using Vulkan as an API.

Quoting: GuestInteresting, at the 29:11 mark in the Feral Interactive presentation: GRID is going to be ported to Android on Vulkan, so maybe we'll see the same on Linux?
It was announced earlier , maybe we can see in the future. But priorities should be on Vulkanizing Hitman and Deus Ex: MD.

Tom Olson said that " Open GL 5 " was the name they decided at the beginning. I'm so glad that some people rejected that name by saying " Open GL has a mixed reputation"
