I’m really looking forward to SpecOps: The Line, and now that it’s official I couldn’t be happier! We don’t have many great looking third person shooters, and VP’s porting has come a long way.
I’m cautiously optimistic about SpecOps: The Line as it looks like a great game, but due to my hard crashes with VP’s port of Bioshock, I don’t want my wee heart broken.
The developers now list it on their website directly as a Linux port in the “alpha” stages.
About the game
Spec Ops: The Line is a new original title from 2K Games that features provocative and gripping Third-Person modern military Shooter gameplay designed to challenge players' morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable situations where unimaginable choices affecting human life must be made. Features include, a gripping, storyline reminiscent of Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness but set in a ruined Dubai, tactical squad-based Delta Force gameplay throughout a horizontally and vertically oriented world, devastating sandstorms which can be used in combat, a variety of multiplayer modes and maps, and deep support featuring two factions.
Check out Spec Ops: The Line on Steam, but remember kids, don’t buy it until the Linux version is released to make sure VP get their share of the monies.
How does everyone feel about Virtual Programming doing another port?

great news.
witcher 2 and bioshock infinite are perfect for me without issues and superb framerate. (probably lot lower than windows versions, but got enough hardware to overcome that).

I played Spec Ops: The Line on a friend's console a few years ago. It's a game with an interesting story but is rather linear and probably not worth playing through again. It's good that it'll come to Linux but I think I'll pass on this one.
Good on VP for improving their technology. I think there's a lot of older games that developers/publishers don't care about anymore that they could port competently but I'd just as soon not see wrappers for newer games. I'd rather see newer games ported ideally in-house but if not by either Aspyr or Feral who have generally delivered consistently good ports.

So there is another good game, that will never get a native port? I hate you, VP.

I've seen some kind of memory leaks with the VP ports I have, except for Stronghold 3 which works well. Bioshock Infinite starts to go slower and slower after a while, until it crashes.

Great news. It looks like Steam Machines will launch with far more AAA games than the PS4 launched with. Can't wait for November.

Bioshock was such a good port that I don't mind another one from them, as long as they keep the quality the same.
