Feral Interactive are teasing another new Linux & Mac port with a new clue

Quoting: GBeeJust in case you were serious, which I doubt you were ...

Why would Volition go to a third party to port Red Faction Guerilla when they already have in-house experience of porting their games to linux with the Saint's Row series?
Saints Rows are not in-house ports. They were done by VP (Virtual Programming).

New set of GPU benchmarks and adventures in OpenGL 4.3

I added a bit about the ideal performance difference between the two cards. However, I still don't believe the 27-50% performance losses can be explained with the hardware difference alone.

Dead Island Definitive Edition and Dead Island Riptide: Definitive Edition released, seem to have hidden Linux versions

Quoting: leillo1975If I buy definitive edition bundle at this time, the game counts like a Linux purchase?
Officially there is no Linux version so I don't think it matters either way. I would recommend not purchasing it and instead putting your money towards officially supported products.

Just for when reality starts hitting your face and disappointment starts kicking in hard, keep in mind that Project Brutality is still a thing and it's a quite wonderful thing indeed if you can just get an engine to run it properly.

Quoting: Samsai808 SB12S could be a reference to MC Hammer lyrics and the image is obviously Mars. Since the new Doom is a Bethesda title it will never get ported. Thus the obvious connection is Hammer and Mars which could mean Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Ugh, Googling around, Red Faction: Guerilla is a 2009 game. Please be Doom, please be Doom, please be Doom
Wishful thinking, Doom 4 will not be ported because it's a Bethesda title.

Minetest, the open source sandbox game inspired by InfiniMiner & Minecraft has a major new version

Yeah, Minetest isn't much of a game as-is and pretty much needs a modpack on top of it to be fun. I myself have played with Carbone NG which adds pretty much all the features I would need in a Minecraft-like. You can find it here.

Turns out Blitzkrieg 3 won't come to Linux as soon as I hoped

Quoting: Spl-iteasy, get more sales, then delay like mad, then deny ever promising a linux version
It's good that we have an effective tactic to combat such means of deception: don't buy before it's out.

Grab the soon to be released Stellaris cheaper on our Games Republic store
25 April 2016 at 5:14 pm UTC

Quoting: Mountain ManWere the keys acquired directly from Paradox so that they get their fair share of the sale? I'm always a bit suspicious of key sellers, especially when they offer discounts that you can't find anywhere else.
Games Republic should be a legitimate reseller. However, I do recommend you wait until release for all the obvious reasons.
