It seems Homefront: The Revolution [Steam] is seeing some fresh Linux-related activity on SteamDB, with it being giving a launch configuration.

If I may direct your attention to this and this it seems that someone has started focusing on the Linux version some more. The latest update being today and only a few hours ago too.

We already knew it was confirmed for Linux, and back in June the publisher did state it was still in the works.

While it doesn't have the best reviews, a lot of people are still enjoying it. It is also a game that is still updated and supported with patches and DLC so it's certainly not a dead on arrival game.

As usual, when it releases I will give it a look and a report without bias as I have not played it. We still don't have a big choice when it comes to good-looking FPS games, so I am still hoping it's at least reasonably fun somehow. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: bradgySee this one also for a pretty balanced view

Kudos to you for posting a link to this excellent review, Bradgy.

Every time the Homefront Hope has flitted through the Linuxian group mind, I've linked to this same review at RPS as being well-balanced but --- more importantly --- informational and specific enough for readers to determine for themselves whether or not they will enjoy Homefront: Rev..

DeepSilver has been great about getting AA and AAA titles ported to Linux, and Darksiders disappointment nothwithstanding, I'm excited to see this game is at last coming to Linux. But I remember the very good sale prices This game has sold for as well, so while I'm absolutely certain I will be buying this game, I am not yet certain what price I'm willing to pay for it.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyI personally thought this game was hot garbage on windows. I honestly hope you guys get your money's worth, because I think you guys are better off buying a better game.

Do you own the game, have you played it? If you have, did you play after the recent patches that seem to have fixed a lot of the performance issues/bugs?

Asking because I've been following the game and a lot of people indicated a recent patch fixed most of the issues they were having and made the game much more enjoyable.

Darksiders doesn't belong to Deepsilver; THQNordic is the owner of the franchise... Nordic doesn't care about Linux recently.

I submitted the Darksiders games in the Feral requestinator stating that if Feral were doing them they would actually get done!

Not quite so fast...
One dev commented on the Steam Forum 3 hours ago..

"The linux version is still development, but we still don't quite have a date yet - work is on going and hopefully soon, we can share some more news with you."

Good to see they are at work.. but it will still take some time.

Yeah, I haven't come to the soon conclusion either. From my perspective they only just actually started working on it, so we're probably several if not many months out.
