It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

What are the choices?

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhat are the choices?

Anything your imagination can come up with.

Be prepared though that e. g. Bethesda games are less likely than say 2K games.

The Witcher 3

First person open world is the genre I'm missing the most, and as Bethesda doesn't seem to embrace the penguin and CD Project considered a Linux version, let's get the great Witcher.

I was hoping that they'd also make a Reddit post as I don't have a Twitter account. If someone feels like suggesting Dark Souls or Skyrim I'd appreciate it.

Mandatory "The Witcher 3" but knowing that that would be quite unlikely I will go with Men of War: Assault Squad 2.
The devs planned OpenGL support. Not sure whether they implemented that or not but if they did it should make porting quite a bit easier.

Don't forget to answer why, not just your choice picks ;)

I understand their intent to make us choose the "most wanted one" and not spam them with long lists but still "If you could only have one new game for macOS, Linux or mobile in 2018" sounds a bit worrying.

My choice would be Rise of the Tomb Raider. As to why, well, the first game was awesome and I want to know the conclusion/continuation. The game has great graphics, interesting characters, story and gameplay. I quite like the "interactive movie" genre (in the case of TR it also adds action/RPG/puzzle mechanics) but don't want to buy a console that has plenty of such games. Linux is all I want and need.

Though I want LiS:BTS to be ported as well, it's on Unity and I suspect it would be easier/cheaper for the devs themselves port it. I also wonder if Feral always use their IndirectX framework for ports or they approach each game differently. For example, LiS is built on UE3 that already had a native Mac/Linux port so it's interesting to know if they reused it or wired the D3D version of the engine to their framework.

For me it would be
- Rise of the Tomb Raider - for I never played it I guess it would be a good game to spent hours in it.
- Falcon 4 BMS because I dont like wine, and the FPS loss is immense for this game. And it is still the best flight sim for war business
- Gianas twisted dreams *wink wink* because I spent hours on it when I had a windows partition left. And because I would like to spend some hours more. Its a brilliant game!

...but I am aware that just the first is realistic in this universe... even though BMS team should really look for Ryan "I." Gordon.

It's mainly a bit of fun and a good way for them to measure interest in various games, don't go reading into it.

I just really want a high quality standard MMO on our platform :( We do have Albion and a few others, but none of them fill the gaps left from games like SWTOR, WoW, Rift and FFXIV.

I realize that porting an MMO would be a large undertaking, but I'm allowed to dream, yeah? :D

FFXV.

I have 160 hours in on the Xbox version and the mods on SteamOS would be nuts. FFXV on PC is gonna be a big deal.

If we can't have an open-world game like I said in the article, honestly, I would like to see Prey on Linux.

I tested it a bit on a friends PS4 and it was such a fantastic game and I do love my shooters. We don't have enough story-based first person shooters, nowhere near enough and it's a solid porting option IMO. Good graphically, interesting story, interesting characters and my friend couldn't stop talking about how good it was.

The Witcher 3, that is the most needed game on Linux. It will be a success as almost every Linux gamers seems to ask for it. We were promised it so there is much frustration. We wants to support CD Projekt because many Linux users are fond of what GoG does. All of my heretical friend that have not understand how harmful Microsoft is for them told me that the game is amazing and we badly need a AAA RPG on Linux.
If not why not a Japanese console port, so that Japanese PC gamers can consider using Linux.

Btw I don't have a twitter account

Ride 2! Or even Ride... Or a MotoGP, we just don't have proper bike racing game D': what's the status of Mxgp3 also?

I know that's never gonna happen, but ...

• Doom (2016)


• Wolfenstein TNO, TOB, II


• Prey (2017)


• Dishonored, II


• Skyrim SE


• Fallout 4

Maybe there's a chance to get one of these "promised" Linux ports if Feral convinces their devs/pubs:

• Shadow Warrior 2


• Divinity: Original Sin II¹


• Homefront: The Revolution


• The Witcher III

The list(s) are still missing some games but it's too depressing to name them all xD On the other hand I'm still struggling with my alphabetical "gotta play through all² my Linux games" approach.

____
1) Only if Larian is not able to manage it by themselves.
2) Excluding MP-only titles, Alien: Isolation and some bundles' by-catch.

Witcher 3 - cause Linux need such a great game.
Street Fighter V - it is a time to have a proper fighting game on Linux

Rise of the Tomb Raider
Street Fighter V

Dark Souls Remastered

Grand Theft Auto 5 for SUUUUURE!
