Are you ready for another Sony game on Steam? The UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection arrives on October 19th, and it's been Steam Deck Verified already.
This is similar to what happened with Spider-Man Remastered, as clearly Valve and Sony are talking behind the scenes to get testing done and ensure the Windows ports are in good shape with the Proton compatibility layer. What a time to be alive, games from Sony releasing on Steam and being verified on a Linux gaming device. Still quite hard to believe but amazing to see.

I do find it thoroughly odd that they're putting the newer games up before the originals, which is likely down to easier porting on these more modern games.
Will you be picking them up to play on Linux / Steam Deck? Let us know in the comments. I'll be taking a look with a video hopefully up soon after the release to see how it runs.
Available for pre-order on Humble Store and Steam.
Quoting: ThadThe one I'm really looking forward to is Ghost of Tsushima.
No announcement yet but I think it's inevitable. I don't see us getting it this year, but maybe in 2023?
This gem is one I'd be willing to buy again.
I will pass on this, though, at least at release.
Bought it on release on the PS4 too, and I own the collection both on PS3 and 4. I have a PS5 and have this already in it (amazing game and the Dual Sense ... really adds to the immersion). Yes, they are all mechanically identical (which is why I like them in the first place) and really like these kinds of titles.
I played the hell out of God of War (despite owning it also on the PS4, at release and recently re-playing it as well on the PS5). I loved the experience on the PC.
While I am really, really glad Sony has made this decision, I regret they are going Proton instead of native+Vulkan (since coming from Unix and a very similar API [SGL]). I know, I know, it is a numbers game, and targeting Windows maximizes potential sales and at least ensures playability on Linux through Proton, via the verification system.
My only gripe is that I am still unable to get a Steam Deck in my region, and will probably never be able to buy directly from Steam, but rather third party resellers, once Valve allows that.
Sony/Microsoft seem to have their sights set on Steam Deck (Linux) compatibility right now, which I never thought I would say.
Jokes aside, this is great news getting a Uncharted with day 1 steam deck support. It tells a clear message that the Deck is recognized as a valid gaming platform.
I will play this one, and I would also for a remastered version of 1-3.
Quoting: itscalledrealityQuoting: MrowlQuoting: itscalledrealityI wish Sony would release their more interesting games already. Uncharted can be fun but I’ve already played all four and have no reason I would want to return. Even if they bundled in a secret Uncharted 5. Truthfully the games are all too mechanically similar to warrant any replay.
And there it is. Instead of celebrating the fact this franchise is even coming to PC, and is playable day one on Linux, no less, we now have people in the Linux gaming community making entitled and selfish comments, like this.
Sure am!
Here’s a golf clap for Sony porting a game from Unix to Linux.
*patters hands*
Wooo hoo!
Unless I'm mistaken, they didn't port it to Linux; it's still a Windows game, running through Proton. But whatever.

IMO modern WINE makes Windows vs Linux gaming a case of semantics.
My snipe at Unix to Linux is to point out that the Playstations are traditionally Unix platforms. An OS that has traditionally not been used heavily for visual applications and is the cousin of Linux. So why did it take until almost 2022 to give us Linux gaming if we were playing on Unix the whole time?
I’m glad Sony is doing what they claimed would happen years ago when the PS3 was released. However this is not the game I’m looking for, life is waaaaaay too short to play through Uncharted multiple times.

And the game was ported to Windows, which is definitely not a close relative. Still, it's nice that they made sure (or let Valve make sure) that it works on Proton.
The Uncharted series looks fun enough, but I'll stick to games with official Linux support. I don't care if they're wrapped, as long as they do some QA on (desktop) Linux as well.

Also one important thing to keep in mind that similarity is on kernel level. That might help if you write drivers or kernel level rootkits, but not so much when making games. Games outsource things to drivers, libraries and game engine. And all of that on Playstation is proprietary.

Because Windows accounts for the majority of PC gaming, while Linux accounts for about 5% or so.
Linux is getting there, thanks to Steam Deck and Steam OS, but it's going to take some years.
I would rather developers continue to just use Proton. It makes life easier for developers, and doesn't have much of a big difference, performance wise. Plus it continues to get better all the time.

Hard disagree, go native.
