Total War: THREE KINGDOMS confirmed to be coming to Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Seriouly for is not hitman 2 or tomb raider :(

*snaps fingers* Not Skyrim. Maybe next time.

Who cares - they just have to fix the audio in Proton. Game runs otherwise flawlessly.

I guess for TW games there a bit of a saturation process settling in, but it's still great to see such a commitment to our platform by the TW devs.

It would be awesome if more high-profile studios would be just as committed. Feral isn't porting too many TW games at all, there are just not enough OTHER AAA games getting ported.

Quoting: KeyrockAt this point I just assume that every single teaser Feral puts up is yet anothet Total War game.

How many of those are there anyway? I'm starting to feel that sports games have fewer iterations than this franchise :P

Well said!

For now lets be glad that there are some gaming studios providing revenue for Feral Interactive to stay in business and keep their skills honed. If in the future gaming on Linux does become a thing and more AAA studios start looking into ports it will greatly ease the transition for there to already be well vetted porters in operation.

I came in here thinking, "Alright, what's this Total War game. I probably am not going to care this time." And then I watched the trailer. It's a really well-done trailer! A little bit of drama background and then gameplay with explanation. Sounds very cool now.

Thing is the Total War gameplay formula is very peculiar and you won't see yourself enjoying it for every type of war setup that you can come up with.
-For example Atila in a Total War game ? Yes please gimme ! Therefore I bought
-Warhammer Battle in a Total War setup ? Again yes gimme and I bought.
-Total War Shogun 2 again that's a yes ...

But all of the others ? Nah sorry historically speaking that just doesn't add up to the reality of things.

Yes when Atila marched on Rome it was a scary number of nomadic tribes being led by "The Supreme King of all nomadic folk" so their formula work here for me. Because indeed the real life battles where numbered in the mutiple hundred thousands men and women in arms. And I'm not the only Total War fan to think that way.

On the other hand lots of the titles of the franchise that I don't want because the formula doesn't fit others want it.

Total War Empire is a great example whether you like it or not outside of Napoleon Armadas the other forces were not very big contingents. Heck that's even why despite being French I don't value Napoleon's strategical prowess because well let's face it most of the time he was just crushing his opponents under the weight of sheer number of troops pushing in.
Yet others probably enjoyed Empire precisely because it gave them the possibility to oppose great numbers against Napoleon armies.

In other words the fandom is split between "taking revenge on history fantasy" crowd and "It's a gameplay focused on opposing big contingents of troops so let's use historical setups where it actually led to big all out battles like the game offers" , and CA is quite good at alternating the two .

So saturation doesn't really come quick because every title released right after the one you bought generally ends up being a historical setup you either don't care for , or you don't see fitting the formula.

Now with that reply to you out of the way...
Am I a jackass for thinking "The only three kindgdoms that I want in my Linux box is an official translation of the latest Romance of the Three Kingdoms title" or am I not alone in wanting an official english translation AND a linux port ?

I didn't understand: the "fire and steel" on the radar was this title?

What the chance Feral would be in charge to port other WBgames like Shadow of War? I enjoy shadow of mordor and MadMax

I was just looking at Three Kingdoms 13 the other day. Will probably be playing 2 and 4 on emulators instead because I doubt that will ever be on Linux in any form.
