Sounds awesome, we will finally have a real AAA quality racing game on Linux.

QuoteFurthermore, Project CARS will also be coming to Valve’s Steam OS, extending an existing partnership with Steam that has already allowed tens of thousands of WMD members the ability to download and play builds of the game during its development and allow specific multiplayer and social features that are only possible using this unique platform.

I'm excited that a major title is coming to Linux. Won't be buying it though as racing games are not my cup of tea.

Quoting: Quote from richie442Are you f*cking kidding me??....I've never thought, that this game will come to Linux. Little bit sad, that almost every one is it calling "steamos" but nah.... very good news. Thanks Valve and developers :)

Well, they call it SteamOS since it's linux the platform they'll officially support. It's what was needed in Linux for a long time, some company stepping in making a "standard" for gaming, where the developers can focus on supporting it. Nevertheless, the community is known to make it work on all linux distros, we won't get support of the developers though.

I don't know yet about SteamOS, but maybe we can get a classical desktop (kde, gnome, xfce or what ever) too on it with office and dev environments so I can use the OS for gaming and working. That will be upon Valve or the community to build repos supporting that stuff.

When it will be out, I am going to try SteamOS for sure. I hope Valve will be successful with Steam machines and OS. It will definitely change PC gaming.

I will try it, might even buy a steambox if it is inside my price range.
Since SteamOS is opensource any functionality we need to make work on any other distros can be emulated easily (but i don't think its likely.)

Liam, why are you posting links to sports car commercials now...

Wait, what???

This is "pre-alpha realtime footage"?

Ok it's for sure now. I have to set up a computer with SteamOs and race these cars....
Hopefully, all my hardware will be supported in the game. That's the reason why I don't go on with the consoles for gaming.
Fingers crossed...
