So the Bundle only just broke over $1 million, with the highest payment made by anyone being just $200 dollars. That makes this Bundle's performance rather similar to the first Humble Indie Bundle right? Despite having several high profile games like Shadow Warrior and Torchlight II.

It makes me wonder if the proliferation of other Humble Bundles has gone on to weaken the Humble Indie Bundle brand. The previous Humble Indie Bundle only managed a little more than $1.2 million as well, although in that case I can say that even I did not buy it.

Quoting: muntdefemsAnd who isn't excited after seeing something like this? :woot:

My own initial opinion has not changed all that much I am afraid.

3D platforming does not have that great a reputation for a reason, and it remains to be seen how organic all of this will feel when one is actually playing the game. I am perfectly willing to let Frozenbyte surprise me, and I do want the game to do well, but I am still a little skeptical about how this is going to work out.

In terms of story and presentation it also does not seem to bring much new to the table, but of course with the little that we know of it now it is still too early to make any kind of certain judgments. As I said, I do want this to work, but as someone who is quite familiar with the previous Trine games, I want the new instalment to live up to the rest. As things stand, I have yet to be convinced, but I am far from dissuaded either.

Just a little skeptical, that's all.

So I have now installed Shadow Warrior on two machines using R600g. The frame rate can vary quite a bit, and it does slow down in some places to such an extent that gameplay can become a bit of a slog, but it is certainly playable.

This is on both a Radeon HD 6870 (Arch Linux) and a Radeon HD 5750 (Fedora 21).

Someone has posted some videos of Shadow Warrior (and Outlast) running on RadeonSi:

It seems to run okay. I should really just grab the binary and test it out on R600g myself though.

Yeah, I know. What I was referring to was not downloading the binary right away when it was released on Tuesday.

Quoting: IvancilloHas anyone a Phenom or Phenom II on his rig?
I can't run Shadow Warrior. It prompts "Illegal instruction" at the command line.

The issue has been resolved. It now runs on my Athlon X3 and from the Steam forums it seems that it works too for a guy with a Phenom II.

Perfs with Mesa/RadeonSi are bad, I've yet to test the game with Catalyst (but I'd like to avoid this).

Care to elaborate a bit when it comes to Mesa/RadeonSi?

Regardless, seeing as I do have a Phenom II I made the right decision when it comes to waiting on downloading it.

If they put up a few LucasArts titles I might be able to reclaim them. Specifically Dark Forces II and Republic Commando if I can dig up our old CD Jewel Cases.

Quoting: oldrocker99An amazingly thorough presentation, Liam, and I am impressed with the effort you went through :woot:

Only it was Samsai that did it. Credit where credit is due and all that.

All that I can say is that I personally have had nothing but good experiences with R600g ever since I got my Radeon HD 4670 back in 2011 and that I am still having great experiences with my new Radeon HD 6870 in 2015.

Now that I own the new Shadow Warrior I will finally be able to properly test out the new card though. Other than Trine 2 I have been lacking in terms of a decent benchmark.

Thanks to the launch of yesterday's Humble Indie Bundle, I had a lot more Linux game purchases to report for March. :)

I also grabbed both of the Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate from GOG.com earlier in the March, so that brings me to nine games in total.
