Feral Interactive are up to their usual funny business with a brand new Linux port teaser up on their radar.
This is now the second unannounced Linux game they're teasing (here's the other), so I can't wait to see what they have cooked up for us. The last teaser was put up a good few months ago now, so hopefully at least one of them will release soon. They're both in the outermost part of the radar, so they could still be a while away. We don't really know what "Quite Soon" actually means, it could end up being tomorrow, a week or more.
Anyway…here's the latest teaser from their port radar:
"It's just a shot away"
Begin the guessing games! What do you think this be? Exciting! I'm sure these won't be the only titles this year too, let's see if they can truly surprise us.
Quoting: KelsSkyrim.I really really hope so.
Why is this even a question?
Quoting: UnshraI'm guessing Call of Duty, though as with all Feral teases I'm wishing it was Skyrim SE. :DI hope it's Skyrim SE although somehow I doubt it's call of duty. I just don't feel like Activision would actually partner with them but maybe.
1. We know it is a Garibaldi biscuit. The Garibaldi biscuit was named after Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi. Possibly some useful info can be gleaned from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garibaldi_biscuit ( For instance, the first Garibaldi biscuit was manufactured in Bermondsey, London, UK by company 'Peek Freans' and the biscuit was created by 'Jonathan Carr'. The biscuit contains 'currants'. )
2. We know the song containing the lyric 'It's just a shot away' is 'Gimme Shelter' - but noting that band 'The Sisters of Mercy' also did this track as a cover of Rolling Stones' original. i.e. Rolling Stones may be relevant or Sisters of Mercy may be.
Here is some info about Giuseppe Garibaldi ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Garibaldi ).
Some of Giuseppe Garibaldi's great exploits brought him the reputation of "hero of two worlds".
Tempted to suggest "Two Worlds II" which was touted as coming to Linux would fit in with that name. (Probably not, though.)
Also, it might be that the 'Garibaldi' biscuit is actually being used to refer to a different 'Garibaldi' person (or thing), by Feral. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garibaldi_(disambiguation)
This info on the song 'Gimme Shelter' might be useful to uncover more clues:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimme_Shelter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimme_Shelter_(disambiguation)
Noting that 'Gimme Shelter' was opening track on 1969 album 'Let It Bleed' by the 'Rolling Stones'.
It is felt that some inspiration for the song might be the Vietnam war.
As another game suggestion: "Rising Storm 2: Vietnam" on Steam
But also, the song inspiration can also be people scurrying for shelter from a rain storm.
So another game suggestion: Life Is Strange: Before The Storm
But how do the 'Garibaldi' and 'Gimme Shelter' clues combined work out?
