To be clear, it will be able to provide DLSS for games without using any Nvidia blobs, right?

Nightdive usually do good job with remasters. And if original is bundled it with their remaster anyway, what's the problem?

I have the original on GOG anyway.

Congrats on ntsync release! 🎉🎉 I've been waiting for a while, since esync was dropped in wine (staging) 10.11 and there was no fast sync in wine or wine staging until now.

Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy now available on GOG

In the end, why bother if Windows versions work in Wine. There are some developers who release Linux versions on GOG and besides as above, Feral practically stopped making Linux releases anyway.

Feral holds the copyright to the Linux versions
The question is more about why they oppose GOG releases. I stopped caring though, since they never answered that question.

All three have linux ports done by Feral, it's what got me into tomb raider initially, i haven't played the other 6 or so older ones
Feral always had kind of problem with releasing on GOG, so I don't expect it. Look at all already released games that had Feral ports, not a single one of them got a Linux version on GOG.

Besides, I'd expect running games through Wine + dxvk / vkd3d-proton to be a better option in the long run, since it will go through Vulkan path, unlike Feral's OpenGL ports (though Feral did start using Vulkan in some of their releases I think before they stopped making Linux ports).

Also, in the long term, Wine compatibility is better maintained against modern Linux stack vs native ports that are stuck with old userspace dependencies. That's just how it is.

Or to put it differently, Linux ABIs used in native games are way less guaranteed to work in the future vs Windows ABIs through Wine.

Deus Ex Remastered announced and arrives in February 2026

Apparently GOG has Revision and GMDX mods. Revision is a bigger redesign and GMDX is more of a remaster.

That prompted me to install Revision and to try it (never played these mods before).

Big fan of the modern games though, shame we won't see a proper conclusion.
Yeah, I enjoyed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I wish there was a sequel.

Nice! Feels like I should start the game from the beginning.
