What games do you want ported to Linux? Feral Interactive want to know again

Maybe some console games (neither on pc nor exclusives) ported to Vukan? For example, and what I wish: Red Dead Redemption!

Quoting: BladeforceStarcraft, DIablo 1 and 2, dungeon keeper 2. Nothing new interests me. it's all just eye candy

for Diablo look at Victor Vran & for Dungeon Keeper check out Dungeons 2 & War for the Overworld.

I wish there was more than just Victor Vran and Torchlight 2 for the Diablo-like experience. I find Victor himself way too cookie-cutter of a character to be stuck behind for a whole game, even though the mechanics can be fun.

Are you serious?

About as serious as everyone else asking for Witcher 3 & Skyrim. ;) I know it ain't gonna happen.

Can't see why not its owned by Gearbox, gearbox is a 2k company which have proven to be linux friendly you would need a lot of people to ask for it though so yeah unlikely from that point of view

You really want a game that took 10 years to develop & was universally panned when it did finally got released?

me personally no but someone does i bought it on 360 when it a week after it came out for 6.99 new and sealed from game here in the uk. It was shite

World of Warcraft
Diablo 3
Starcraft 2
The Elder Scrolls Online
Skyrim
Fallout 4

Then some Ubisoft junk because many people want that, throw in some EA cashgrab stuff aswell :)

but this will never happen ;)

Just port AAA titles.

Out of all of those Witcher 3 is way way more likely

Really you think the guys that said we tried linux there is no market there are more likely than CD projekt red who publish linux games and actually promised witcher 3 at one point. Now studios changing their minds on port is nothing new to linux, barring a sudden switch to vulkan from the custom engine i admit its not likely but its at least more likely than Bethesda at least with Bethesda current board.

Lol love the way you don't put Blizzard in the cash crab club when they are arguably worse than EA especially there parent group Activision.

I never said they weren't ;) I only said they should also add some EA cashgrab ;)

QuoteSo far it seems Doom, Bioshock and The Witcher 3 are popular choices.

I would appreciate if we would not talk all the time about games that are out of the question or simply do not make sense. Doom, for example, runs under Wine better than any Feral port. Anyone who wants it has already bought it. Feral would not make money and Linux as a gaming platform would not be more attractive either.

The game that is most lacking is GTA V. Countless people do not switch to Linux because of GTA.

Personally I would like Elite: Dangerous for Linux. But actually not as a Port but directly from Frontier. So I bought a PlayStation 4 for the time being.

The problem with porting games to Linux, is getting the backing from the original publishers.
Here is my list of day dream games that I wish and no doubt a lot of other people do? Would like to see come to Linux. I unfortunately do not own a touch screen device, so am not a member of Twitter, so let's hope to God that Feral Interactive read our lists.

1 Metal Gear Solid (Twin Snakes) Nintendo Game Cube version.
2 All the G. T. A games
3 All the Jak & Daxter games (Probably not as never has Naughty Dog published to PC or at least I don't think so.)
4 All the Ratchet & Clank games.
5 The Getaway 1 & 2 (Yes they're old but when I played them on my Playstation 2 they were stunning. Fully mapped streets of London and a cracking plot to boot.)
6 (We Can Dream) Nintendo's versions of Resident Evil, or the Windows version remastered HD version of Nintendo Game Cube Capcom's remake of such a brilliant scary, hammed acting B movie game. Plus all the rest of the Resident Evil games, as we don't have very many Zombie games on Linux.
7 Whether or not the rumors are true about Feral bringing Rise of the Tomb Raider to Linux I wish it so much, so this is at number 7.
8 Again they are old but brilliant, as I don't care what a game looks like, it is the playability that counts and these games still hold true today, Medal Of Honor the very first one on the Play-Station one and all the others, that were released on PS2.
9 Golf games are good, but the Windows version of this next game was rubbish, compared to the PS2's version and I know it won't happen anyway but here goes it is Tiger Woods 2004, the PS2 version, as the PC version was too tricky to get to grips with.
10 In at ten, although these games are pretty old now, the game play was far superior for it's time and the animations were fantastic, did I mention the atmosphere? Well if I didn't then on the edge of your seat you'd be, God Of War series from PS2 days, has to be in this list as I still have not completed them yet. I was debating where abouts to put them in the list, but as they say leave the best till last.

If Feral were to bring any of these games to Linux, that we have listed and if anyone already owns them on another platform, then re-buy them or donate to Feral Interactive and every other game porter to Linux. The amount of hard work and dedication these porters do is truly amazing and not to mention the fantastic programmers out there that made these wonderful individual, Linux OSes for us to play our games on. Sorry speech over.

LEGO Titles
GTA V
Shadow of War

Also forgot the LEGO series. My sisters are no longer children, but one has child, and they both use and love linux. They recently talked to me about getting the old LSW2 to work, but had issues with DRM and wine, and so we couldn't even see if the performance was decent enough. I think some proper ports would sell well.

I'm definitely the first one who would buy ALL the LEGO titles if they ever came to Linux, those games are incredibly enjoyable.

Not everyone is willing or even able to use Wine to play games.

I don't like using wine, i haven't bought a single windows game in about 6 years now. If you count wine compatibility as "ports" then they might as well not part any games to gnu at all...

Also i don't think referring to certain games as "impossible" therefore bad to mention is not very useful, i think Feral will know better, if they decide to look at this wishlist (or any list) at all.

I would also add Super Mario Maker to my list as well.

I dont think GTA is the reason people are not on linux its a big game but its not the biggest reason given more people play COD/BF/Madden/Fifa than GTA

I get that point of view I personally do use wine but mainly for dx9 games which i know work perfectly but yeah if any of them came to linux i would purchase a copy just to make sure feral market presence increases. The more visible they are to publishers the better at the minute

The only linux game cd projekt red has published was witcher 2 and they lied about the witcher 3 port. Bethesda is going for vulkan and they may change their mind. Also, it's about feral porting stuff and they need to make a deal with the publisher. cd projekt red don't care about the linux community and never really cared.

No go on GOG and look again way more than one game on there and they are all published by cd project red in fact they have published 2100 linux games so far and it is gog that make sure they run on linux and they are cd projekt red they may be a different department but they are still the same group

Says who? Id Software did Vulkan, But that's because Id has always used OpenGL instead of DX.

Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim. Would like to see the two new Sonic games this year ported. What else? Witcher 3?

Granted, I think Bethesda would sooner cease all operations rather than actually even consider seeing their stuff ported to Linux.

What game did Bethesda try before that was on Linux? As far as I know they've NEVER touched Linux.

Well for a long time, GTA:V was the only game on Steam's top 10 that hadn't been released on Linux. Right now though there are a few more, but these games look like new releases, so it's hard to tell whether they will stay there.

I agree that there are many factors when people consider switching to Linux, but I think a game like GTA:V could be an important factor. A game like this on Linux also symbolizes that it is a strong platform.

Exile from 1988 on the BBC Micro! :P

In terms of size, features, physics engine and complexity compared to hardware it's run on its still the greatest, efficiently coded and playable computer game ever made.
