Love me some Valve. If that's not pushing things forward, I don't know what this is.

I'll be grabbing a copy this weekend. They announced a 25% sale starting Friday through Sunday or something.

Quoting: MamboYess, platforming.
Handling looks a lot like Psychonauts: rails, automatically grabbing bars, a stomp-punch.

Oh, I thought it was a 2.5D game, now I'm less intrigued XD Don't get me wrong, Psychonauts is one of my favorite games of all time, but the platforming was not one of its strong points.

This game is too punishing, I'm bored after some time because the continuous struggle

Wow, didn't expect that. I know ck helps with desktop responsiveness generally but I didn't think it could make much of a difference in this sort of case.

Well you're heading in the right direction anyway! Happy gaming :D

Looks like Nothing to Hide made it!

I've gone for both Star Crawlers (love the name!) and Earthlock, which looks like it has a fighting chance to be one of those rare high-goal projects that manages to get funded

Quoting: paupavI hope Crysis 2 and 3 will come to Linux.

Right now Crysis 3 is origin only.

Origin is written in Qt, which runs on Linux.

Yeah but it doesn't mean that they will make a Linux client.

You want a Origin Client? It's not worth it. EVER

I'm more interested in seeing new games come out for Linux rather than old ports on this engine and I expect Steam will fill up with Cryengine games soon enough.

I never said I wanted an origin client. I probably wouldnt use it.

"The press release says that CRYENGINE(all caps) was ported but didn't mention CryEngine 3."

Exactly. Since the latest release of the engine it no longer has version numbers. It's only CRYENGINE (all caps). So when they talk about CRYENGINE they mean CryEngine 4(+), not 3 or 2 or 1. Which of course doesn't mean that at least CryEngine 3 games couldn't be ported. But it would require the devs to move the game(s) from version 3 to CRYENGINE.

I've been playing with this game for a while now. It's crazy fun! My Xbox 360 controller works fine for me though.

I guess that only CryEngine 3 will add linux support, so this only applies for games made in CryEngine 3 (like crysis 3).

The press release says that CRYENGINE(all caps) was ported but didn't mention CryEngine 3. I doubt they will port #3 to linux. But they should if they want to cast a wide net and collect feedback from beta testers. It will be difficult since the two engines are very different. Homefront 2 is the only viable title that could possibly be ported to linux in short order. Ryse is published by microsoft. They won't allow that game to be ported.

The good news is Crysis 1 & 2 have been upgraded to cryengine 3. So, if they port that engine we could very well get them all.

Quoting: Anonymousok, I'm not the brightest button, but does this mean any cry engine game can be ported over with little effort?

Well, not any game. It would need to be a game that was made with the ported versions so older games are unlikely.

I doubt many developers will "do a Valve" and port their really old games.

It's actually quite easy. Those games are made in "game engine" which in this case means that game developers don't have to do much work. Most of the work is made behind the scenes by CryEngine. So if you update engine almost nothing changes except that you can use features from new update. Objects that you've created are still there and "scripts" that you've made with your "scripting language" is still there (only needed programming by game developers). I guess that only CryEngine 3 will add linux support, so this only applies for games made in CryEngine 3 (like crysis 3).

Looked interesting, I'll probably check out the demo. However I'm getting tired of this early access saturation XP

Perfect, I have it! It came included in a Bundle, and my daughter loves it

It does look very similar to warsow, hopefully they make enough improvements to justify a switch.
No serverhopping sounds great, that's the kind of stuff they should focus on.
Gamemodes, huds, maps and other smallball stuff can be easily be provided by the community if the underlying game is worth it.

It's great to see that Linux is having its own games. I've been waiting since forever just to have a game played with Linux as it's awesome OS and yet overshadowed by trends.

Mac is same with Linux in terms of video gaming and yet iOS is likely to be the substitue. In a nutshell, Linux is falling behind.

Although I haven't tried the game, it looks good and unique. I'm getting tired of playing RTS in all media as they are all the same so perhaps this one can give me a whole new experience. I'm also in the hunt of upcoming RTS, I have few prospects like this one which makes me think "there should have a PC or Linux version."

Anyway, I wish there will be more game for Linux :)

Yeah, An online capable version of Don't Starve would be quite the money maker with persistent online worlds.

I seriously hope they are going to do one in future. If not, someone else is bound to use it as a basis for their own game.

i don't think so... but they said that its nearly impossible to make multiplayer for Don't Starve because it was written with single player in mind from the ground up. But they admited that its highly requested from community. Would be stupid to not make one :)

theres also modding support but i dunno if its possible to even make multiplayer mod for don't starve.
if it is... its pretty hard i imagine

Yeah it is a shame it doesn't have that, have they even hinted at a number 2?

multiplayer don't starve when? :(
it would be superb to survive and not starve with friends.

hope they make multiplayer for Don't Starve 2

And there's me thinking everything favoured Intel CPUs! I've always bought AMD CPUs purely because they've been better value for money (so far anyway - and always ones that aren't the latest, so reduced in price also).

As regards "ondemand" - I have up_threshold at 30 and "performance" is still noticeably zippier on the desktop (at least). Changing the governor is very trivial anyway. I'm running kernel 3.13.6-1-ck at the moment but this shouldn't be a factor.

Looking at the link you posted, there shouldn't be such a difference between our systems but at least you can play it :D SS3 Jewel Of The Nile was fun as well.

Nice, simple game for kids, we really need more of those if SteamBoxes are to succeed.

looks interesting indeed..i tested demo also quite some time ago.
performance is not that great for 2 reasons: first its unity3d engine which is known to have perf problems under linux and secondly they are using opencl which is weakpoint of nvidia gpu's.

__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATION=1 %command% helps a lot though

I know. But they could create linux launcher. Also Origin port is coming.

got a link for that? I find it hard to believe EA could do anything right.

I didn't manage to run it. It always produces:

There is no data folder

Did it actually work for you?
