Watch Feral play the soon to be released Tomb Raider for Linux on Youtube now

Quoting: toniMan, looks awesome but is't me or it's a bit laggy?

No it's not just you, it looks laggy to me too.

It could be the recording too. I played this on a fairly low spec laptop about two years ago and it ran great. I can't imagine it'll need too beefy of a setup to run smoothly under Linux.

Bear in mind this is a in-house test version of the game, so chances are it's in "debug" mode where it is outputting more logs than usual and probably performing extra checks in background of what the game is doing. So it's most likely not at its "peak" performance in that video.

I'm hyped with a 3 years old game!!!!!

Hopefully that's what caused it, it would make sense if that's it though.

Quoting: chris200x9@1:24 why does it say x to reload if they are on linux?

Because they did a good job supporting controllers on Linux?

I really respect developers that support both the Xbox 360 and all versions of the Xbox One controller if xinput is used. Too may ports are lazy and only support the 360 or earlier versions of the Xbox One controller due to an old SDL2 or they are unaware.

Awesome thing about Tomb Raider (at least the Windows version) was when you turned on Tesselation (I think that was the option). It makes her hair look all stringy, but then it also made the framerate drop into a beautiful slide show. I wonder if they'll implement it correctly here? I actually have a system that can handle it now :D

They've promised a working implementation of the TressFX thingy. The funny thing is, they're saying that on Linux this AMD technology only works on Nvidia.

It probably makes use of compute shaders, as the original effect used DirectCompute. Maybe there's something missing still from the brand new Mesa CS support.

That's what it was called! And yes, that's hilarious that they'd make an AMD tech work only on nvidia drivers. I think it's one of the techs that make the PS4 actually look awesome and not what the specs would be compared to if it were a PC running Windows.

Quoting: GuestIs it TR rising? I may have to buy that... Although I'd really like to see all the old TR games ported. Even if just in a wrapper.

No, it is Tomb Raider, if it was the new one it would have the newer games title ;)
