Yes, I definitely felt some relation to Beneath A Steel Sky (including entering cyberpace and etc.). It's cyberpunk after all, so it's not that surprising :) And 2D style adds to the similarity as well.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI really hope they plan a DRM free version. I think I would love this game. Awesome trailer for sure.

Yes, they plan it.

Quoting: mulletdeathSince GOG has In-Dev titles now, will this also be on GOG?

I just asked it for you in that thread.

Deep Silver & Techland are not supporting Dead Island Definitive Edition on Linux, at all

Quoting: ShmerlI suppose it's the reason why GOG rejected Metro games. Companies which don't fix their bugs are jerks.

What bugs were in the Metro Redux ports? The only problem I had was it didn't like my custom alsa setup. I played through both games and was happy with the performance and stability.

I can't say, since GOG don't publish reasons for rejection. But such blatant refusal to support could have played a role.

People often compare it to Bioshock, but it's not really a good comparison. Developers spoke about it many times. See beyond the visual style resemblance and research genre influences and inspirations.

I suppose it's the reason why GOG rejected Metro games. Companies which don't fix their bugs are jerks.

What I feel about it is simple - don't buy games from such developers / publishers which make such agreements, since they treat you like trash.

The only exception I'd make are defunct companies which can't fix their bugs (Troika for instance). Since in that case it's out of their hands. But cases like above is about being a cheapskate (i.e. Deep Silver releasing a buggy version and not wanting to spend any money on fixing it).

A developer from Dontnod Entertainment has created a UE4 hack to compile HLSL shaders on Linux

We need a proper open HLSL compiler to port DX games properly. MS plan to open up their HLSL parser at least. See here: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang/issues/200

Torment: Tides of Numenera delayed until 2017, partnering with a publisher

Quoting: rustybroomhandleThe publisher is Techland, fyi.

That sounds good. They even released Dying Light on GOG (though not the Linux version).
