What Linux games are you looking forward to this year? Here's my top picks
31 May 2018 at 11:36 am UTC Likes: 2

I'd take "TW Britannia", "Mechanicus", "Off Grid", "Battletech", "Insomnia" directly from your list. I'm open to "Artifact", "Hypergate" and "We happy few" and not opposed to any game on the list.
Good collection! What else? I have to think about that...
...
Into the Breach
The Bards Tale 4
Underworld Ascendant
Frozen Synapse 2

.. so far

Remnant, a new 4x space strategy game that aims to be more personal is heading to Linux

I love his more personal, more grounded approach! No warp, g-forces within reasonable bounds, agents instead of systems...
It first reminded me a little of Jack Campbells "Lost Fleet" novels, which are the best SciFy fleet tactics novels I found so far, but it's even more grounded.

Those Bristol Ridge R7s are about as fast or a bit faster than an Intel HD Graphics 620. Basically, it'll play 2D titles without issues and run some older 3D titles acceptably. You don't want to run any modern AAA Linux ports on them though.
Do you think it's good for 4k video as they say?

Emotional nonsense. Any business that listens to that has no right to exist.
We're running in circles here... If it were all about rational decisions we wouldn't have a chance for a Linux version anyway..
For now we're more of an anomaly than an econmical influence. We're completely dependant on what Valve is doing to help. We need mor new users, a lot more than we actually are now. And we have to prepare to be friendly to them as well!

From the Atari announcement page [External Link]:

"A complete list of Atari VCS product specs will be posted with the pre-sale."

“We are building outstanding teams and forging alliances that will make this product great and truly worthy of the Atari VCS name. Expert hardware partners are helping make this project possible and we couldn’t be more pleased with their contributions.”

"The updated Classic Joystick and new Modern Controller for the Atari VCS are being developed in partnership with leading video game peripherals maker Power A. Both items will be available in select packages and as standalone purchases."

I asked them on KS. They're using the Unity engine and plan to support all platforms from early access on.

I don't know... I mean, you're completely right on that it's very very odd what they're doing here. I can imagine two explanations for it:

1. Atari is completely unprofessional. They risk everything they still have for bringing up this device, not specifying exactly what's in it, what it's capable of, what games I can play with it (aside from the old Atari classics), they're offering an open Linux system, capable of playing SteamOS games, that would make a completely different target group happy than the typical Atari retro player, IF there were any hardware infos about it. The only pictures they're offering is people in a lab playing retro games with a retro style controller...

2. They hold all the information back, because they have a surprise waiting.

I don't know what it is, but they're clearly not doing their best from a marketing standpoint. Let's hope they do it for a reason!
