Looks pretty skits.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: Adamfx990That's funny. I get pretty bad simulation sickness and I find the serious engine to be all right (with its option to make the crosshair static and increasing the FOV to around 91) compared to most first person games. I still struggle to play for more than half an hour though.

So, half an hour is on the good end for you? Wow, that's tough...
How do you cope with Source Engine (Half-Life 2 e.g.)?
It's my second worst...

If I take a break every 15-20 minutes to grab a drink or something, its not too bad.

Half Life 1 isn't too bad. Half Life 2 was tough but CS:GO I find I can play for a decent amount of time. Probably because I don't have to focus on the screen whenever I'm dead.

The absolute worst one I've ever experienced are Space Engineers & Minecraft.

Quoting: Adamfx990IMO the serious engine is the best engine in the world right now. It runs great on absolutely anything! I'd love to hear what they have to say on this matter.

Their engine is the one giving me most motion sickness (monitor, not VR!) I ever had with any engine... :-/
I was able to reduce it with the settings, but as they introduced special motion sickness settings later, I cannot be the only one...

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: Adamfx990I will actually buy it now :D

Why , for feeding Windows sales?

I might be being optimistic here, but I don't think he meant "I'm buying it right now". I think (hope) he meant, "great, now I can buy it". You might be right, but lets not jump to conclusions!

Adamfx990: In case you're new here and wondering about the sniping, if you buy the game right now, you'll be counted as a Windows sale, and Feral won't see a penny from you for their efforts. Hold off buying until it's released! There's almost always a sale on release anyway, and if not, Feral will love you if you buy at full price, or there will be a spring sale regardless, if you can wait.

I did indeed know this but it never hurts to reiterate. To clarify, I meant: I will buy it on Linux, once the Linux build drops :D

This is probably the worst pay-to-win economy since Battlefront 2. Hopefully this game flops and will be the first step towards more people boycotting the steam market.

They say its experimental, but it seems to run pretty bloody well. Its only the version difference that's an issue really.

Two great looking new Linux FPSs in the space of a week? :O

Only downside is I've already spent too much on games this month :(

I don't really want one of these. But for some reason, I really want it to succeed. Hopefully the implementation will be good enough that it'll gain some traction. Then they can make a revised version for 66-75% of the price.

I'm not too sure about them making their own distro though. Steam OS is still the worst distro I've ever used and that was done by Valve ffs. Unless it turns out to just be debian with the necessary non-free software/proprietary drivers ready installed. But even if that's the case, I feel like not identifying the underlying distro throws some unnecessary ambiguity (and therefore doubt as to the quality of the implementation) in to the mix. :/
