I can't wait for this!! Definitely looks better now, and the D-pad-as-buttons thing is a great idea, I think. Avoids the problem plaguing nearly every modern non-Nintendo, non-Sony gamepad, and the entire pad is completely symmetrical, meaning it's not just dead sexy, but also lefty-friendly (I'd imagine you left-handers could even pop it open and swap the arrow and letter buttons, if you really wanted to).

same i think there will be no problem with fps games the only thing i'm concerned a bought is if there will be enough buttons to play all games and the layout. as well as it being made with all kinds of gaming in mind.

Physx works on any computer you want it to the only difference is that nvidia has it on there gpu and not on the cpu all gamers can take advantage of this if they want they will just need to run it on the cpu witch preforms a bit worse but still works fine.

@stan - well I have no idea what's going on with your crazy setup :P but I've just tried the stock kernel from the repos and I got exactly the same frame rates as with -ck, maybe even 2 to 3 fps better.

I used something similar to these touchpads (but not as advanced) and I was generally quite pleased with it, I'm looking forward to testing the Valve controller :)

Quoting: Heimdall

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.

I said more than likely it's 18 months. That's a year and a half, not this year September 2015 and I'm fairly confident that OpenMW will reach 1.0 by March 2016.

Dev probably doesn't own a Mac for testing and doesn't want to shell out the cash. Just a guess...but who cares Macs are lame anyway.

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.

Oh well, performance and stability wise right now would be better to run it on Windows, but that's another story.

The scope of OpenMW is not reduced to run Morrowind as is, but to open development possibilities for the game, that are difficult/impossible with the original engine. The scope to run it native on Linux and MacOS X is just one of many.

This is on Manjaro.

Hey there, on which distro did you play the game? I unfortunately can't play it on openSUSE 13.1.
The game runs and the menu including all options works great, but the game itself hangs and only loads the background assets and the first lines of dialogue in each scene and then stops responding to inputs beyond the menu button.

It seems they've linked against a whole bunch of XServer and GL libraries instead of going the sdl2 way and didn't provide the library versions they've linked against as part of the libraries included, which would explain why it works fine on one of the distros but breaks horribly in another.

So the plain old boring list is the winner.

Stunning. I was just thinking lately how much I'd like to replay Syndicate Wars (never played the original).

For a pre-alpha video, that was very impressive.

Quoting: jonprydeJust checked out StarConflict on steam via my Linux Mint desktop, and it actually is downloading from steam (linux version).

I'll report back if it actually launches and plays.. I like StarConflict.. it's a nice alternative to Freelancer from the early 2000's.

It won't launch, trust me. It's not released yet.

I've tried it and was not disappointed. Then again I like these kind of games though and it's not really revolutionary so YMMV. I found the controls a bit flunky so I'll be trying out my gamepad for sure. Thanks for letting us know.

You do of course - also for already some time - get it DRM-free from the Humble store ;)

Quoting: scaineExcited for this one, with a tinge of caution after the slightly disappointing Machine For Pigs. This looks superb. Like a cross between The Thing and the original System Shock.

Really, I liked it. Yes its not an horror games. Guilt on Fric.that already know before realeasing .

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).

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?
