We've known for a while that Virtual Programming were porting MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame to Linux, now it seems it may be closer to release.
Yesterday, the Linux and Mac content appeared on SteamDB which is a clear sign that work is progressing on the port. VP have been pretty silent about it, so we have no idea when it will actually release. Good to know it's still coming though!
A good choice to bring to Linux, since there's nothing else really like it on Linux right now. It features full gamepad support, single-player as well as online multiplayer and it does look like a lot of fun.

The bike customization sounds like it could be interesting with 300 different components and I do love being able to customize my ride.
Will you be picking up a copy when it releases for Linux?

This game is PEGI 3. Does that mean when you fall off your bike, you land safely on a unicorn-shaped pillow?

Quoting: liamdawe...yeah...I know all Linux ports have a certain amount of wrapping. Except...VP shipped Windows binarys for saints row. That is taking it too far IMO.Quoting: ScooptaVP doesn't port...they just wrap. I won't be buying this.This type of stance is really silly. Do you buy Feral games? They're not exactly that different, they have their own special layer as well. As do likely many ports.
VP's ports like other ports are supported, mostly work well, they run like other games and so on.
Facts are, Linux is not currently profitable enough for anyone to consider entirely rewriting a rendering engine to support OpenGL/Vulkan.

Quoting: LeopardI didn't like the Witcher 2 and while Bioshock was good I can live without it.Quoting: ScooptaVP doesn't port...they just wrap. I won't be buying this.
Yes , but they gave us Bioshock Infinite and Witcher 2 which they are very high profiled games.

Quoting: GuestThe performance isn't the problem.Quoting: EikeAs said many times, they are. They don't run Windows binaries, they are fully compiled for Linux. And wrapping source with source is actually a design pattern tought to software engineers.
...and it makes NO DIFFERENCE speed wise as to whether you execute x86 asm that MSVC compiled, or x86 asm that GCC/clang compiled. I have no idea why people cannot understand this.

Quoting: Luke_NukemNah I'm good but thanks. If it's got windows binaries I'm not touching it with a 10 foot pole.Quoting: ScooptaVP doesn't port...they just wrap. I won't be buying this.
So? VP support Linux gaming, and bring us games we might otherwise not get.
Get over it.

I don't get "Get over it." here either. Nothing to get over. All fine. It's not like there's starving if one chooses not to run Windows binaries. At least not me. I hope Luke is fine with his choices as well.

Quoting: EikeYeah. I'd expect people on a Linux website to be a bit more understanding about people's ideological views even if they don't agree with them. Not seeing that right now XD.Quoting: ScooptaQuoting: Luke_NukemNah I'm good but thanks.

Which ported game you can't live without it?
Shadow of Mordor , Life is Strange or F1 2017?
There is not a single third party ported game on Linux that you cannot live without it.
