Quoting: paupavI hope Crysis 2 and 3 will come to Linux.

Right now Crysis 3 is origin only.

Origin is written in Qt, which runs on Linux.

Yeah but it doesn't mean that they will make a Linux client.

You want a Origin Client? It's not worth it. EVER

I'm more interested in seeing new games come out for Linux rather than old ports on this engine and I expect Steam will fill up with Cryengine games soon enough.

I really hope that the Free SDK will also see native Linux support, it's important.

Quoting: n30p1r4t3Finally an arena FPS not built with outdated (in terms of features) builds of Quake2!

Performance may take a hit though, since it is Unity which isn't the fastest engine around especially for a fast paced FPS.

Mm, we will see. It's refreshing to see a full time developed Arena game.

Quoting: lainiwakuThe price is too much for indie game.
I would take it for under 10€ but no more !

I agree, its an ambitious price which means I will probably wait for a Sale.

It's really sad that they aren't making Linux a core platform because I love the developers work and the style doesn't bother me at all. If they had said they would do a port but more money would mean a quicker port that would bother me less.

Looks pretty cool. I guess this would be perfect for old laptops hanging around ;), provided they could emulate some games.

Quoting: minjI am starting to resent statements like these. It does not mean we have different game tastes just because we run Linux. We run the same hardware and input devices ffs. Countless studios have already witnessed that the market exists.

If the devs are not sure their game is worth our attention perhaps they should not be making it in the first place. All new games should start with OpenGL from day zero. This will save dev time and other resources, prevent frustration, theirs and ours, and as Valve has shown will even increase performance.

I currently own many more games than I've actually played. This means that THEY need to come to us with their product. Time for begging is over.

Depends how big the game is, but sometimes the port might simply cost more than than it would likely make.

Bah. I want someone to show me the actual cost of porting a game.

There is no new content, there needs to be at maximum one more programmer and I'm sure you could contract one for minimal amounts to how much these games make. Though quite frankly the resources are there (SteamDevDays Videos for instance) to make your own port in-house. If your shipping something like XNA or Unity then your there already (FNA or ..Unity)
