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

The Witcher 3. It's probably the best RPG ever. What more to say?! Linux gaming badly needs it. I don't care if they have to remove some features like HairWorks stuff. It would be sad, but it's not the main reason to play the game. It's awesome anyway.

Edit: Typo. HairFX to HairWorks.

As already posted at the Feral-Twitter-Channel:

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
It´s an highly demanded game (see Steam Charts). It also would be a big gain for linux-gaming at all.

GTA V.
We need a "Killer-AAA-Game" for Linux. And GTA V would be one.

Tekken 7, Skyrim SE and Fallout 4. No other reasoning but personal preference (+ the infinite playtime one can invest in those three). I would also like to see all those promised ports that never came to be, like Witcher 3, happen. Dark Souls, no matter if it's remastered or III, giev. If I had to pick one, it would be Skyrim.

Skyrim.

Ok. I know. Beth games are about as likely to happen as world peace.

More realistic choice:

Rise of the Tomb Raider. Don't even ask me why that's not ported yet.

Quoting: KuJoAs already posted at the Feral-Twitter-Channel:

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
It´s an highly demanded game (see Steam Charts). It also would be a big gain for linux-gaming at all.

Fortnite's battle royale is picking up a lot of steam, so getting it on Linux while it's still on the rise would be a good choice. And probably a better chance that the devs for that will show interest in a port.

Quoting: Feral InteractiveIf you could only have one new game for macOS, Linux or mobile in 2018, which one would it be?

Realistically, I'd have to pick a game from one of the publishers that Feral already works with. This excludes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, given CD Projekt's The Witcher 2 was ported by Virtual Programming et al. From the publishers that Feral actually works with (2K, SEGA, Warner Bros., Codemasters or Square Enix), I'd pick one of the Batman games, Batman: Arkham City or Batman: Arkham Asylum.

A smarter pick might be something from a big publisher that Feral is not yet working with. Then, if a first game works out, other titles from that new publisher could potentially arrive for Linux. I'll ignore games that aren't on Windows (Bloodborne, The Last of Us, Journey, Red Dead Redemption, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves). My pick would then be Skyrim, because then Linux has a link with publisher Bethesda, which means their other games (e.g. Fallout 3) are also more likely to arrive. By the same reasoning, smart picks might be stuff from EA (e.g. Mass Effect 3 (and 2) or Dead Space), Ubisoft (e.g. Assassin's Creed II) and Bandai Namco (e.g. Dark Souls).

Quoting: Feral InteractiveAnd why?

For the Batman games: Feral is already in touch with the publisher, the games have gotten good reviews from both critics and gamers, Linux is relatively short on AAA games, it's a well-known brand/hero, and they look like games I'd enjoy playing.

For Skyrim: Feral might be a big enough player to persuade Bethesda to allow porting to Linux, it would open the door for having Fallout 4 and other future Creation Engine games on Linux, the game received critical acclaim, it's on everything (including Nintendo Switch) so let's add Linux (and macOS) to the list, and I'm ready to play another open world game.

Just give us Skyrim already, man. Or how about a native port of Doom 2016. Of course both of those are Bethesda games, so we're probably still out of luck.

Oh, and the Batman Arkham series, or at least the first two, which are the best ones in the series anyway.

Grim Dawn: awesome ARPG that takes me back to my Diablo days :-)
Shadow Warrior 2: because the first one was so much fun.

My wishlist would be some game that I could play multiplayer with friends, or some of the ultimate pc title, which make the best use of hardware, and also have good narration behind it:
Solo:
-Witcher 3
-GTA V
-NieR Automata
-Shadow Warrior 2
-Half Life 3 (just kidding)
-Rayman Origins & Legends
-Prince of Persia trilogy mac & linux

Multi:
-Age of Empires 2, age of empires 1 DE & Age of Empires 4
-Rainbow Six Siege
-Quake Champions
-PUGB
-Killing Floor 2

GTA V would be nice, it's so boring waiting for wine to improve

PUBG PLEASE the only thing tying me to windows RN.

Total war thrones of Britannia :D

I'm also on the side of more japanese titles on Linux. For now we only have a few, like Disgaea 2 and Danganronpa 1-2.
My vote for the 5 current minutes would be a Hatsune Miku/Vocaloid title.
Reasons:
- We really need some happy, go lucky games, once in a while.
- It shouldn't be too difficult to port and is probably not too demanding on ressources.
- I don't think any of them is on windows yet.
- We don't have many rythm game on Linux (fighting games are also scarce).
- Feral seem to already be in good relation with Sega.
- As timing is soo important in that kind of games, this is the perfect opportunity for the feral team to fine tune there expertise on latencies in the Linux pipeline.

Quoting: BlodofferPUBG.

For all those millions of Chinese players with pirated Windows 7.

At first it sounds funny but if chinese players learn that you don't need a pirated Windows to play PUBG then I see lots of new Linux users and therefore lots of new customers for new Feral Linux ports.

Here is my list. The first set of games are my own very high preference games.

The Witcher 3
Shadow Warrior 2
Fallout 4
DOOM
Divinity Original Sin 2
Legend of Grimrock 2
Elders Scrolls Online
Elder Scrolls Skyrim

This set is also high preference for me, but a little more "good for the Linux community" rather than just me.

Grand Theft Auto V
Wolfenstein 1a, 1b, 2
Dragon's Dogma
Dishonored 1 and 2
They Are Billions
PUBG
Battlefield One
Assassin's Creed Origins
Nier Automata
Cuphead
Street Fighter V
Middle Earth: Shadow of War
Outlast 2
Dark Souls 1,2,3
Killing Floor 2
Borderlands
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Elite Dangerous
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
The Technomancer
Homeworld Remastered 1 and 2
Batman

Generally any AAA type game, particularly popular ones, will be great for Linux. Also any good Indie Game (stuff like Hollow Knight, but like that title many of the good indie games are already on Linux. Yey!)

I like to Dark Souls III on Linux because it's the most epic game what I have ever seen.

Actually I like to see Dragonball Xenoverse 2 and Dragonball FighterZ on Linux as well.

Wallpaper engine. It has overwhelmingly positive reviews and is a top seller.
I'd love to have this ported to linux

Skyrim - why? Because even toasters have had it ported to them and that game has endless hours of fun. #feelingleftout

Witcher 3 - Why? Because it would give us a chance to show that we have matured as a platform and would not have same reaction as when the Witcher 2 was released on our platform. Also, like Skyrim, it is a 3D open world game, and Linux does not have many of those.

What Remains of Edith Finch
Stories Untold
Endless Legend
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Resident Evil 7

Please and thank you.

EDIT: I forgot about Call of Cthulhu!

The Witcher 3. Though I expect Wine to run it well before any such port surfaces.
