Quoting: n30p1r4t3The full video of the interview, it's really interesting. And long. (Not really about Linux)

I was searching for that video, very informative.

Thank you

They probably wasted their time with this, we all love wrapped games now remember. As long as it works and all. Icculus will vanish into distant memory doing native ports like loki did. He needs stop this rubbish and start wrapping everything fast and cheap, so we can fill steam with glorious penguin icons.

Jokes aside, it's a good game! Glad they did this.

Icculus ported Wwise the middleware in question.

*tips his hat to them* ^_^

I wonder what changed to make this happen though, as if I recall correctly, they previously claimed that it was some middleware that prevented this from happening previously. Did they replace it or did the middleware become native in the mean time?

:D:D:D! Boy, has the last four weeks been a great time to be a Linux gamer! Being a long-time fan of turn-based games, I bought this for Windows ~16 months ago. Would have played it more, but that would require booting into the annoyance that I found Windows 7 to be. Now, I don't have that excuse!

I've been playing the game and have been enjoying it quite a bit.

Its a shame than gaming in Linux still sucks. The r600 driver is still not good enough. Luckily I have windows too.

Great news, I love this game! And I can finally put it in my wishlist now :)
Edit: the sad news is I have no chance on winning that Civ V giveaway anymore.... if I ever had before :P

@wolfyrion : may I know where did you get that discount? :)
Sounds like a great offer, while XCOM complete is sold for 29,99€ on steam (for me, at least)

I'd recommend getting it on sale during the Steam summer sale that is supposed to start today. Good timing :)

Very nice of Ryan to set that message, he's awesome! :)

wierd requirements, an AMD HD6450 matches the recommended requirements but an HD5870 is not even up to the minimum requirements... anyone has tried to run the game on a system with low/medium end graphic cards? or on FOSS drivers?

Quoting: MikeOh I didn't see Liam hadn't played it before. You're in for a treat, this game is so unique in many ways and incorporates a number of genres: strategy, sim, management, rpg.

Don't ruin the game by telling him who they reveal the enemy is at the end.

I believe that he's played to original UFO: Enemy Unknown though (and the OpenXcom port), so he'll know what to expect. Saying that, he shouldn't expect too much. It's a fun game, but it's very "dumbed down" compared to the original games.

2K may have to consider more Linux ports, because this is great news. :D

Quoting: MayeulCLIMBO still hasn't updated itself in my steam library. On the other hand, it has been updated on the humble store.

I have the same problem. I'm trying to install (2KB downloaded and a icculus popup message), but it can't be played

It's damn difficult though. If a soldier dies in your small squad, he's dead forever. If a soldier dies early on in a mission, followed by another, that's pretty much game over. The easiest difficulty is still pretty hard, I recommend this to anyone playing the game for the first time. No point in playing for 8 hours then losing, it's like FTL but more frustrating in that sense.

Keep in mind that there will be The Binding of Isaac : Rebirth out later this year ;-)

I've never played XCOM, but the trailer was really good.
I'll probably wait for a summer sale, though, otherwise my student wallet may not apreciate all those games I've been getting recently.

Does someone know how it plays on Radeon?

I found an interesting article on how features are added to OpenGL (http://www.openglsuperbible.com/2014/02/28/opengl-origins/) and it seems quite a slow process and I wonder if OpenGL is really a good choice for gaming considering that Khronos seems focused a lot more on other technologies (WebGL/CL, OpenGL ES...) and that AMD and Apple (both promoter members of Khronos) could start boycotting/damaging OpenGL to help Mantle and Metal gaining traction...
Hopefully there will be some news at SIGGRAPH in August, after all the articles about how OpenGL sucks and the new APIs from Khronos members I think they really should try to reassure developers that OpenGL has a future.

If I remember correctly, they've promised this port for this summer, right? So that puts them two days ahead of schedule. Way to go, Feral, you deserve major respect from the gaming community!
