System Shock reboot gets a weirdly chill new trailer

It's still a bit annoying they caved in to demands to go back to those over-saturated colors from the original. Their first attempt at redesign was much better in my opinion but some didn't like it, since it didn't look like the original game.

Looks very good. I hope they are finally using Vulkan in Unreal, not OpenGL anymore.

Quoting: x_wingOr this guy assumed that it's mandatory. If it's optional, GOG install would only require to take Linux/Windows binaries for Steam and create the installer for each platform...
Yes, you can even see some Steam releated .so in some of the GOG games due to that.

Quoting: x_wingis not an option to release the GOG game without any of those APIs? Does GOG mandates that new games must use their API?
It is an option. I suppose developers didn't want to do it.

I'm surprised their issue was some API integration. I guess achievements and such? Not something I really care about. It's one thing to rely on those APIs for multiplayer game and having trouble supporting multiple backends. Making a big deal out of it for a single player one and then pulling out of the store because of it, that sounds very misguided.

Quoting: K3rcusNvidia graphic seems to be the only good option for graphic when still Linux game maker like Aspyr don't support AMD graphics on some of their games, like Civilization VI
That hasn't been the case for years already. Some older games might say that since they were developed when Vulkan didn't exit, and Mesa didn't have OpenGL compliance. But it doesn't mean they actually don't work today.

Quoting: mphuZCalm down already. This is not trolling, but just different opinions.
No dude, your behavior was not acceptable, it was nothing to do with opinions, it was ad hominem attacks and trolling. So stop it, period.
