Rise of the Tomb Raider announced for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Quoting: GuestI wasn't talking specifically about fortnite really, just meant games that are "the now".
Top 10 on Twitch would be a good example.
ROTR likely got delayed due to Microsoft's exclusivity, but on the whole I'd love to see the "latest" games on Linux too. It's just not that simple. The decision doesn't lie with Feral (meaning they can't just start porting Skyrim for example), it starts higher up. Developers/Publishers need to want their game on Linux.

That being said, I'm grateful for Square Enix and their allowance of Hitman + TR and others.

Quoting: GuestIt's great they are bringing big games to Linux. But it's 2 years old now.
I feel they need to port some thing a bit more relevant to now, like Fortnite. IMO.
Talk to EPIC. Unreal Engine supports Linux and so does Battleye (anti-cheat found in fortnite and the reason it no longer works in WINE). There's literally no reason for fortnite not to exist on Linux other than EPIC not wanting it to be.

AMD's first Ryzen Desktop APUs with Vega graphics are now available

Quoting: minjThat's quite right and the whole line-up is disappointing.
I don't know how you can say products that haven't even launched yet are disappointing, but to each their own. I have a preorder on the Swift 3 and am going to buy the Nitro V to try out. Trying to convince myself I don't need the Ryzen 7 + 580 laptop.

I already own this game but I will buy a copy straight from feral and give it away upon launch. SO excited!

Quoting: eridanired123I'm waiting for AMD to release Ryzen for laptops before buying a new one, is it known if a launch date has been defined yet?
There are already a few raven ridge laptops for sale with the 2500U/2700U. Many more are coming soon.

Acer [External Link]

Acer 2700U + RX 560 [External Link]

Lenovo is coming out with a model soon too, but I hear that might be single channel ram.

I have no need for one of these, but I'm trying to find an excuse reason to buy one. Unneeded HTPC maybe?

For 4 bucks I'll be giving this a go. I miss COD 2.

Not my kinda game, but I'd love to see some AMD benches done. Perhaps I can supply...
