Aspyr Media Are Teasing A New Launch Tomorrow

Borderlands 1

I'd totally buy it.

It's highly unlikely it's going to be an AAA title, as they would probably have announced that way before the actual release. Although I hope for GTA, the chances are about 0.1% as to that happening. You never know, maybe they announce the discovery of an asteroid that's going to kill all life on earth and is only compatible with Mac and Linux. Who knows.

Kotor 1 & 2

Borderlands 1 would be a nice surprise. :-)

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! They wrote "launch", as in release, as in finished, as in we can play it, unlike the "very soon" game from that other porting company. :P

I like games I can actually play, as opposed to games I can hypothetically play at some undetermined point in the future.

Interesting but I'll wait which plattform is chosen for this "new port". Another release only on STEAM is just a non-reaction for me. A release also on GOG would be perfect regarding "Knights of the old Republic 2". So I just can't understand why everyone is happy when something new is released only on one platform with DRM. But it's only my personal opinion - it won't help Linux in common from my point of view using a proprietary kind of nonsense like STEAM. :)

i'd buy this one 2-3 times more, although i already own it. gifting Borderlands is just making your game better since as good as Borderlands is, playing Borderlands in coop is even better. and if i support company that ports to linux, this is just pure win-win

update: sad point being it can't be BL1 (unless it would be rumoured remastered edition). Feral already released it on Mac and post says new for Mac & Linux

You probably would have missed the announcement too, being on Facebook, right? I have my fingers crossed for you that there's a GoG or Humble option, but I don't share your view. I'll buy their game on Game Agent then redeem on Steam because, well, reasons you don't care about.

you mean like open source and free games elsewhere? face it, most games are proprietary

Waiting with baited breath...

Because I'm going to be that guy, it's bated breath...
Etymology
From the verb bate, alteration by aphesis of the verb abate, meaning 'to reduce' or 'lessen'.


So I hope it's GTAV but I remember a while ago they flat out said it wasn't. So in that case I have no idea but it'll be an instant buy whatever it is... come on be tomorrow already.

Edit: Popular opinion seems to be KOTR2.... Eh not my favorite but still will buy it.

It's Skyrim.

Just had to throw that out there. :D

Can I just state that I really dislike it when the sequels are released for Linux, but the first one is not? If it's KOTOR 2, we'd have that, and Witcher 2 (eventually Witcher 3) etc. Starting to remind me of the 90s, where the Atari ST and 8-Bits had Phantasie 1-3, but the Amiga only got 1 and 3.

Star Fox
Sonic
Ratchet and Clank
Sly Cooper
Banjo Kazooie
Crash Bandicoot
Mario
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Elder Scrolls
Thief
Doom
Quake
Everquest
WoW
Ultima
Final Fantasy

Hmm what else can I dream about...

Hell will freeze over before Nintendo, masters of gaming as a prison, ever release a title on Linux.

Oof, harsh one, but true.

So long as it's something new for Linux, with no waiting, I'm excited. :)

Some Depots have appeared for Kotor2 in the steamdb - looks confirmed :-)

Edit: well not new, but looks likely this is it.

Who is porting Company of Heroes 2?

Feral Interactive Forever

What about Evolve, do we know who's porting that? That's also a MAC/Linux port.

I can dream that it is Witcher 3 cant I??

Project Red is doing the Witcher 3 port or am I wrong?

Thought that was coming via Virtual Programming?

VP did the Witcher 2 port certainly; I must admit I do think that the W3 port would be internal though I would be more than happy if it was Asypyr or Feral even. I did enquire with CDPR about the W3 steamos / Linux version at the end of June and the response was that they were working on a SteamOS version but had no announced date as it was still a work in progress. But there was no clues as to if it was inhouse or with an external porting company.


Still I can dream :)

Shouldn't a VP port be way easier then this?
