Feral releases a new teaser, something to be revealed in late March

Given that the picture is mostly yellow, it wouldn't surprise me if it was Deus Ex. Also, square Enix.

SUPERHOT, the time-bending shooter released on SteamOS & Linux, some thoughts
27 Feb 2016 at 10:03 pm UTC

Glad I backed this, but I think I will wait until issues are fixed to play it.

Interestingly, I don't remember any bugs from the free "alpha" build.

Is there any DRM on the Steam version ?

Jason Ekstrand from Intel speaks about Vulkan at FOSDEM 2016

Quoting: GuestCome oooooooon GDC March 14-18! Just 1.5 more months and we may have Vulkan games to play. At the very least we should have names of games that will be coming with Vulkan.
That is, IF vulkan is released at GDC. I don't want to be pessimistic or anything, but there has been no release date yet (appart from "before the end of 2015", of course).

Homefront: The Revolution gamespot video looks good, but it will feature microtransactions

Is it still on... Was it CryEngine? I can't think about any released CryEngine games on Linux.

Our Linux & SteamOS gamer survey results for January 2016
24 Jan 2016 at 12:06 am UTC

Yup, the graphs are broken in Firefox. Very interesting results, though (the graphs are working fine with chromium). One thing that is noteworthy is the "How many games did you buy last month" result: Looks like the winter sale did indeed boost game sales for us. Or was it the new ports?

I missed this survey; I am probably not alone in that situation.

EDIT : graphs are blank in inkscape too, but not in kolourpaint, FYI. (the fact that it could actually handle svgs actually surprised me).

Looks nice. At first, I though it was a Squad game (KSP Developer) :D

Nice of them to have added Mac/Linux icons :)

Medieval II: Total War Collection released for Linux & SteamOS

Performance a bit low on a 6870 (40-60 FPS), but still very playable with radeon driver.

Feral, would it be possible for you to try out your ports on a different keyboard than qwerty (hint : azerty)? Of course, settings are broken by default, which is the norm, but when I remap my keyboard in-game to a qwerty one with a shortcut (plasma 5), the game ignores this. It seems you are using keycodes, which don't (as far as I know) change between different layouts. So, I don't really understand what you did wrong there :/
Allowing to remap keys ingame would also do, but I guess it's rather complicated.

This years GDC conference will have a very interesting Vulkan & DX12 talk from AMD

Quoting: GuestI expect NVIDIA to help with the open source NVIDIA driver for Vulkan support, since supporting Vulkan in drivers is supposed to be pretty trivial, much more-so than with OpenGL.
Well, this would require them to release their signed firmwares, which I don't think will happen anytime soon.

Rocket League will be on SteamOS & Linux before the Xbox One in February

This game always reminds me of this old map from halo 2 killtrocity mod :

(I couldn't find any other video of it, sorry).
Looking forward to it :)
