Oh boy, not long after the release of Tomb Raider and Feral Interactive have started teasing a new port again.
In the "Soon" section of their port radar is this new teaser:
Begin the guessing game again folks, you're way smarter than I am at this detective work!
It's in the "Soon" section, so it could be a few months away yet. They still have two Linux/Mac titles in the "Very Soon" section they haven't yet confirmed the name of, so it's quite exciting.
Their last port does have some performance issues, so hopefully they aren't being overworked and moving to rush out ports. I have been greatly enjoying Tomb Raider myself even with the big FPS drops, but a tasty performance patch would be rather welcome. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I know that that type of drum is a jembe, a traditional West African kind. It has a reputation for being loud and distinctive. So maybe something that involves a beat of some sort? No idea about the spacious skies.

So there is a system called the Jemba Inertia Notes System which is used in Rallying, as in car racing. My bet is thus Dirt Rally due to them porting most of the other racing titles on Linux

That's sounds ugly, but I personally prefer a lot of rushed ports with bad perf than a few optimized ones.
I mean, if your current pc isn't strong enough to play TR, at least your next pc will. I dont think that comparing windows/linux framerate is the priority right now when i see the tons of games i m awaiting on linux.

Yeah, I forgot that we still "don't know" who is porting that. That makes sense. They did Autosport, too, so hopefully it'll be as good of a port as that.

Hmmm.. Bongo drums... that means Africa?.... Gorillas... Winston?! Of course the only right answer is: Overwatch!
...Another victory for logic!

No Man's Sky? Although admittedly, I'm having difficulties finding a relation with the djembe...
According to wikipedia:
Any ideas?

According to wikipedia:
- It's a goblet drum
- The name comes from "everyone gather together in peace".
- It's origins are related to the Numu and the Mali Empire
Any ideas?

"O beautiful for spacious skies" is the first line of America the BeautifulAmerica the Beautiful was originally written as a poem, called "Pikes Peak".
Look what I've found:

Dirt Rally confirmed :D
I'm curious how they come up with these names, though.

They are porting Ubuntu (djembé is an african instrument) to Windows 10 (a spacious window in which you watch the sky) with half the performance... oh, wait! :P

Are they beating the war drums again? Is it time to call the lads for the WAAARGH?

With the "Jemba Inertia Notes System" and "Pike's peak" answers, Dirt Rally looks like the one. Good detective work gentlemen.
Time to get back to Tomb Raider then...
Edit: I haven't played a Rally game since Richard Burns, so if it is Dirt Rally then awesome!

No worries, we'll release a patch for Tomb Raider before we put out this mysterious new title. (Whatever it is.) :)

-Personally- I totally agree with you. I couldn't care less if a game only runs with 50 FPS in Linux but would run with 100 FPS in Windows. What matters to me is that it runs in Linux at all.
But this is not how a mainstream gamer thinks. These people fork out hundreds of dollars for graphics cards more expensive than the rest of their PCs just to make a game run with 110 FPS rather than 100, pointless as it might be. You won't be able to convince them to switch to Linux as long as they get even minimal better performance in Windows. But if we want to see more AAA games on Linux and more developers supporting it, getting more attractive for mainstream gamers is what needs to be done.
