according to steam hw survey, over 50% use nvidia GPU's - so i dont see why not.
many games on windows use physx... todays CPUs are good for doing it on CPU side anyway..if nvidia hadn't put some special code into this to make it perform worse on CPUs

It's weird how they don't have Mac version.

Quoting: DrMcCoyOkay. :)

Would have been nice of them to mention the platforms everywhere, though.

I completely agree, some websites like 11bit just don't list them at all, it does get frustrating.

Quoting: DrMcCoyMaybe I'm blind, but I didn't see any mentioning of Linux (or Mac OS X, or Windows, or any platform, really) anywhere. Not in the trailer video, not on their website, not in the forums, not in their Twitter feed. Where did you get that from?

Granted, 11bit Studios released multiplatform games in the past, but it wouldn't be the first time for a studio to suddenly stop doing that.

It was confirmed to me via email (PR email), so no external source.

Quoting: globalrawThis has been available on steam for linux for a good while, the only change is that they added the linux icon to the store page.

That's not true. It was in beta and in final version are new levels (two new worlds I think).

Quoting: Anonymousi'm wondering if it's not better to run it in wine? performance and stability wise?

No.

Except the answer is currently, definitely yes. In 12 - 15 months that'll be a different story I suspect.

Morrowind was my favourite of the ES games, despite it's flaws it just seemed to be more immersive - but I might just be getting older. I have completed less and less of each successive ES game. I am a terrible person.

As it is available for Windows on Desura, can we expect a DRM-free version for Linux on Desura too?

Please don't abandon me 11bit Studios, I've been a loyal customer! :'(

BTW Sleepwalker's Journey is the most awarded puzzle game in my family.

Quoting: commodore256Judging by the rate of progress, I estimate it well reach 1.0 in less than two years. (more than likely, 18 months) After that, I would love to see an OpenOblivion or an OpenCW for Capital Wasteland (Fallout 3) and maybe an OpenNV for New Vegas.

The developers disagree. Many have stated that they expect 1.0 before the end of this year. Given current development progress, I am almost certain they are right.

This game caught my eye over a year ago now, I think. I'm certain that they'd previously talked about wanting to do Linux, but it's always good to get a more current statement with their release nigh ^_^

Quoting: GuestWhoever made that video must be blind… But anyway yeah I like racing games too. Not with weapons though*.

(edit) Now that I think about it, I did have fun with one or two futuristic racing games with weapons a long time ago… So I might like this one too.

well this game has a few modes with weapons and without like "classic race".

This would be a really really nice surprise, but I am not too sure it will come :-( .
The game is made using directx9 will they really have an OpenGL version ? ( any statement from them ? )
Linux gaming needs a commercial racing game so bad, but up to now there is not even one.

I really hope "90th arcade racer" will show up soon, but I think, whoever will be the first with a goodracing game will sell a lot of copys of his game as there is really is a big need for this in the linux market.

I enjoyed "Blocks that matter" a lot (even though I still haven't finished it, like a lot of other games from the bundles), especially how they included references to other games from the bundles in some levels (and Tetris obviously).

And this one looks like it references Portal. Hopefully it's just as fun as their previous game. :)
I like that they kept it in the same universe.

Quoting: RadegastAmazing progress. I know they haven't stated any ETA for version 1.0 yet, but does anyone know what major features are still missing the engine?

From what I can see they have to finish the Save/Loading system, most of it is implemented. They have basically finished the bows/arrows/marksman stuff but they were not (I believe) included in this release. They also have some AI stuff left to do and finish implementing all the functions so one can complete the main questline.

That said, they really don't have much stuff left to do before 1.0.

Again a huge release of the OpenMW project! Awesome.

I finished Morrowind twice and that's one of the games in my "Best Of All Times" list.

atm i'm a huge quake live fan(runs perfectly in wine, so it's not much of an issue there's not a native version, since it pretty much runs just as well as on windows), i simply love arena shooters, loved unreal tournament 1999 as well, both were great games, tried warsow and xonotic too, were good but really dead, maybe 1 or 2 maps were populated on warsow, on xonotic 5-10 maps had some players on

All I wanted was to see a Deathmatch mode in the trailer. Then I saw it. And I was happy. I can finally play Twisted Metal again, and on my own OS! I'll definitely try picking this one up later on. I've missed these kinds of games. Was definitely one of my favorite types when I was younger.

Quoting: Anonymousi'm wondering if it's not better to run it in wine? performance and stability wise?

No.

Quoting: https://openmw.org/faq/- Be a full-featured reimplementation of the Morrowind engine.
- Run natively on Windows, Linux and MacOS X.
- Support all existing content, including Tribunal, Bloodmoon and all user created mods (in case they don’t use external programs).
- Allow much greater modability: change game rules, create new spell effects, etc. through scripting.
- Fix system design bugs, like save-game “doubling” problem.
- Improve the interface and journal system.
- Improved graphics by taking advantage of more modern hardware.
- Support to improve game mechanics, physics, combat and AI.
- (Possibly) Support to implement multiplayer
- (Possibly) Support to run on mobile devices.

Also, you know, the OpenMW codebase is open and free/libre software, released under the terms of the GPLv3. Also a big plus.
