Quoting: Luke_Nukem

Quoting: lidstahOne thing before war starts: these famous market share.

Let's do the math [...]

This a thousand times. It seems to be the one thing people always forget; just because the percentage drops, does not mean the overall amount of Linux gamers has dropped.

Also, it's not even a statistic of how many Linux gamers there are, but a statistic of how many got and answered the hardware survey.

Anyway, yay Strafe, buh not knowing about the Linux version.
To be fair, they never promised, only said that they would look into it later, so there's no real change.

Quoting: Guest[...]
Their publisher's website says:

Bigben and studio Gloomywood unveil the release date of 2Dark, available on March 17th for PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC.

Fuck these guys.

Oh! So it is coming to Linux and Mac after all! ( "PC" ) :P

But yeah, to hell with this publisher.

Quoting: tofuheadhmm, it's a shame, looked interesting. but all this talk about broken promises seems a bit odd, because doesn't it quite clearly state in the "promises" that they MAY do a linux/mac versions but are NOT making any promises yet.. ?

or am I reading it wrong? ... just wondering..

.b

There is only one use of the word "Linux" on their crowdfunding page and that's the paragraph that Liam copied in this article. Where did you read anything else?

Never mind, I saw your reply now :P

Hmm ... starts on the wrong monitor and freezes on the Keyboard/Gamepad screen; I think I'll wait until after EA.

"Do not kill the door"?
Looks great! I'm hoping the setting will keep me playing longer than the gameplay would normally, like Slashaway Camp.

Wow, that looks great! I just hope Aspyr ups their game on their multi-monitor testing (Layers Of Fear's a bit buggy with two monitors and their support doesn't care much).

Apart from the plastic look of the new trailer, I'm cautiously positive about the engine switch. The Unity3D demo had some fairly low frame rates and if Unreal Tournament is any indication, an Unreal Engine version could potentially run like a dream on Linux.

Their Linux support is currently limited to claiming that it runs in Wine. Last I tried (a few weeks ago) that meant it didn't actually work in Wine, but worked decently in Wine Staging. So far, I'm not impressed, but I do wish that it becomes a proper, stable option for Linux users eventually.

I absolutely adore the art style they're going with! It brings back fond memories of Settlers and even some of Heimdall 2 on the Amiga. I sure hope this actually makes it to Linux!

Quoting: Faalagorn[...]However I did not get to see a significant different between HTC Vive, Oculus and even Samsung's Gear VR. [...]

I agree completely with you in regards to the visual fidelity. I've only tried the Vive for about 15 minutes and I have a Gear VR at home, so I can't compare to Oculus Rift (which I don't care about either due to their shady business practices and dropping of Linux support), but if you just stand still and look around, the Vive and the Gear VR are almost identical. However, once you take that first step wearing the Vive and start exploring the space around you, kneeling down to look at details, moving your body to avoid projectiles, moving your hands around and seeing a representation of them in the virtual world, that's where the Vive takes it to a whole different level :D

I like to think of it as the Gear VR being a good example of what VR looks like and the Vive is what VR feels like. Once the Linux support is stable, I think I'll be getting one ;)
