It reminds me a bit of the upcoming Wrath Of Pegasus [External Link] (which was playable online on Linux for the beta).

Testing The Latest Unreal Tournament On Linux

Quoting: michawell, the graphics actually look worse than most last gen shooters atm. So not really a great advertisement for UE4.. still looking forward to newer versions. =)
There's one level that's up to the visual standard you'd expect (absolutely amazingly gorgeous), so you can see what the engine can do and the rest are, as liamdawe said, placeholders.

Developers Of Strategy Game Halfway Show Linux Sales & Support Requests
14 Aug 2015 at 10:55 pm UTC Likes: 1

The game did launch in a fairly broken state with regards to window and fullscreen handling though - which is what I noticed most of the support requests being for - so it would've likely been the same percentage for any platform launching with such issues.
(note, I just noticed it on the Steam forum, I have no affiliation with the game or the company behind it)

Quoting: CybolicI've noticed this trend with "AAA" games that have a Linux version coming, won't put a Linux or SteamOS logo at the end of the trailer and I find it really odd. Why on earth wouldn't they want to advertise a potential sale?
To be fair, there is no Windows logo either…
True, I missed that completely - years of seeing the PC-DVD logo made it synonymous even to me, who hates the term PC used for Windows :/

I already owned it, but have never played it, so I bought it again from Aspyr's store :)

Oculus Has "Paused" Linux Development On The Rift VR Headset
17 May 2015 at 11:53 pm UTC

Quoting: EKRboi[...]The good news is that Vulkan will actually make use of multiple GPUs. So that limitation should be a thing of the past in a couple of years.
Precisely. As there aren't even any games/experiences that really headline VR, they will likely come at a time when Vulcan support will be standard.

I will definitely be getting a VR headset and with this announcement, it looks like it will be from HTC/Valve (if Samsung doesn't come out with something that isn't labelled "innovator edition" - and is actually available - before then).

The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter Is Being Moved To Unreal Engine 4, Should Come To Linux

This deserves a happy dance! I've been following their wonderful dev-logs for some time, feeling sad every time knowing that they weren't planning a Linux release, but now is a time of rejoicing! :D
