So, a lot of people were excited about Unity adding in their new and much more modern OpenGL system. The sad news is that it won't give as big a performance boost as we were hoping.
Every year, when we're near the end, we start to create some summaries.
I've just decided to do small summary of what happened for me (a Linux gamer) this year. I am going to focus on AAA titles (and those that are close to be AAA), so if you're interested in Indie games, it's possible that this article is not for you.
Reading through the Feral Interactive Facebook page, I stumbled upon this post, which is the most elaborate about the topic by Feral I know of about AMD support.
We all love a bit of speculation now and then (okay, some really don't, but I do), and to me it looks like the Saints Row series will all launch on Linux together.
We knew Linux wouldn't suddenly climb the ladder in Steam's Hardware Survey, as it's going to take a lot of time. The latest is out, and we are holding steady.
Some good news about the whole Steam Machine parade, OC3D did a pretty long review of the ZBOX NEN SN970 and they liked it so much they gave it an award.
xoreos (a F/OSS reimplementation of Bioware's Aurora engine) developer DrMcCoy reflects on the project's progress over the past year, and offers thanks to supporting contributors and the community.
It's a shame, but it certainly looks like Mad Max isn't actually coming out for SteamOS & Linux. We covered it initially thanks to being told about the press release, but nothing since then.
I bought the Steam Link with the idea that I would have a hassle-free device to play video games on my television. After playing with it for few hours, the device shows potential but does not deliver what Steam is trying to sell.
It's nearly that time of the year again, and with our first year of doing a Linux GOTY Award being a success we will be repeating it this year. So, what do you want to see in it?
