I worry that they rely too much on the dual wielding control thing, while it seems to be more visual stimulation, rather than a good game mechanic.
Other than that, it looks quite interesting. Kind of want it now, just because I've just watched The Raid.

This debate is quite interesting, but it has the bitter taste of trolling in it and it's not quite on topic anymore either. If you wish to continue discussing this, please consider starting a forum thread about it.

Quoting: AnonymousFOSS drivers are good but dude it not good enough...

Alright, I'll bite, how is having FOSS drivers and providing full programmer's documentation not good enough? Intel and AMD both do that, and both contribute to their development. Not really sure what more you're expecting there.

What the hell... I am surprised people are not getting the fact that AMD is just using FOSS developers to save money. It makes AMD look "good" by providing documentations and stuff but really they just doing that because they can't be bother to provide good stable driver by them self. And by the looks of it, it seem to fooled people like you.

Intel is different because actually they provide document AND have their OWN developers working on it.

Looks a lot like a less stylised Hotline Miami.

Still, should be interesting.

Derogatory statements like this one?

Quoting: GuestSee, now you're just coming across as a trolling hater. I pity you that you feel you need to be that way.

The fact that Mantle is not public, makes it just like Glide.

I don't see anything on there about the Mantle API... which was the point of my comparison to Glide.

As for "not bothering" with the rest of my statements... ouch, truth really hurts huh? Not surprising, the mind of a zealot is a tough nut to crack.

Bonus: here's how "awesome" the R9 290 is supported by the open drivers

Good thing there seems to be more weapons then the dual pistols. I was started to wonder how the protagonist would go through the whole game without throwing up from all the spinning :P

Quoting: SilviuOh dude, please don't try to humour me. If throwing money at the company which shies away from properly supporting people that buy their products is your thing, then by all means, continue to do so.

Don't worry about making *me* happy. I got that covered ;)

As amusing as this has been, I'll make one more post here: why are you using Linux? You obviously don't care for FOSS principles, and care a great deal for games running under wine, not natively, so one wonders why you don't just stick with Windows?

Oh man, that has to be really hard to understand for some people, but here it is, plain and simple. Linux works better for me and what I need to do than Windows. Even the Unity interface is years ahead of what MS can muster on Windows. From my p.o.v. at least.

Are you saying that I should not use Linux if I don't care for FOSS principles? Please point me to the license that forbids me to use the software because of political beliefs. You lot are a riot.

Quoting: GuestOr go with Intel. They've been quite supportive of Linux.

Actually I *do* use Intel kit. They did not fire their Linux developers, on the contrary, they make sure to have support for upcoming products in the kernel way ahead of the actual product launch. They have my support and my money.

The only thing I don't use is their IGPs. The performance sucks... but, if it ever gets better, I'll drop nvidia in a heartbeat. The same goes for AMD.

Quoting: GuestA closed up blob and downright hostility towards kernel developers is not supportive of Linux, and not supportive of its community

I do not care. Actually I care even less about the so called "community". I want to be able to fully use my hardware. Intel enables that for me, so does nvidia. AMD? not so much.

Quoting: GuestIf Mantle does come to Linux, and released and open API, then you can bet nVidia wouldn't support that either.

If, if if if if... Facts bro', not ifs. As far as I'm concerned, Mantle is the equivalent of 3dfx's Glide api. If they ever release specs good enough for people to be able to create their own implementations, I shall change my mind... IF... ever

Quoting: GuestI understand that some people are rather pragmatic in that they use nVidia's blobs, but they generally also care about FOSS, and want games natively instead of through wine. Many would also, if given the option, go for an open source driver (leaving aside games, Mesa drivers + desktop far surpasses anything blobs from any company can do).

So, lemme get this straight... because I care about native games (I already have over 100 of them), I should deny myself the ability to run those titles that have not been ported.

You don't get the pragmatist's mindset.

This part at least, does not compute at all:

Quoting: Guestthey generally also care about FOSS, and want games natively instead of through wine

You do realise that most of those native games are as closed source and a good part of them even use Valve's DRM. There's nothing FOSSy about that. Come on people, be consistent.

Quoting: loggfreakbtw does anyone know any good top down multiplayer shooters?
can't seem to find any good ones, even on windows, or they're dead.

Nation Red comes to my mind, Windows only though.

Shame! Have they never heard of the Open Build Service from SuSE openbuildservice.org/ ?

Quoting: KoltorocWell, Mojang and Notch are famous for breaking promises meanwhile. Another example is the over three year promised MOD-API for Minecraft.

Well the Mod-API is due to Minecraft not actual being built by Notch to be moddable originally, leading the guys who took over to have to re-write everything pretty much.

Give it another year and Minecraft might actually be interesting to me again, right now though unless you have something massive in mind to build it's boring as hell.

The combat is just lifeless.

UVL tracks what development systems games were created with. Including Linux. These lists are by no means complete, but hopefully interesting.

Good.

See, now you're just coming across as a trolling hater. I pity you that you feel you need to be that way.

Label me however you like... as long as it makes you feel good about your choice and the money you spent :)

It seems you're not happy with how other people choose to spend their money, or if their opinion differs to your own. Such a shame, such a shame.

Oh dude, please don't try to humour me. If throwing money at the company which shies away from properly supporting people that buy their products is your thing, then by all means, continue to do so.

Quoting: SilviuOf course you can twist this again and make it about Linux, but the thing is that while most of the time I do use Linux, I have no issues running Windows when I really need it. I have a feeling you would not do that.

The difference is neither I or mirv are making inflammatory posts about Windows users, not that I can speak for his platform choices.

Quoting: Silviuas long as it makes you feel good about your choice and the money you spent

I have actually spent very little money on graphics cards; my current one I got used for $40 dollars over three years ago. It is still the best graphics card I have ever had the pleasure of using, so I definitely have no regrets in purchasing it.
