The developers of 'Can't Drive This' will donate all Linux revenue from October to charity

Quoting: The CaptainThank you all so much for your support, folks! This is so awesome!

Quoting: ElectricPrismI'm not sure if I can discern if it has full controller support
Currently, driving fully supports controllers and other peripherals (one player managed to hook up a steering wheel to it). As of right now, building does not work with a controller yet. It's on our roadmap, but it'll likely be a few weeks before we get to implement it. The same goes for cloud save (although, currently there's not much that needs saving).

That's fantastic that my X360 controller sounds like it'll be plug and play, great.

The Steam Cloud thing is just prefered - my only other real question probably would be - is there single-player? like computer generated map progression?

Sometimes I really just like to chill and play vs AI even if they do become predictable in games. I liked the video & I'm so happy it doesn't follow movie trailer layout where it cuts to black.

I find that so annoying these days

I'm thinking of buying this buy I want to make sure it's fun.

Yes this has gotten my attention more than most marketing tactics and I'm okay with that because I know that I'm in control and no one will manipulate me into making a decision I don't choose myself.

How does the game play? I would like to hear if its like anything else and see if it fits a niche for me --

From the steam page I'm not sure if I can discern if it has full controller support - I nearly always only buy games with full controller support as I really am collecting games for the full-screen big picture experience.

Also - looking for Steam Cloud saves, however Split Screen multiplayer is a HUGE selling point as I'm collecting games to play with friends on my steam machine in person.

Mad Max released for Linux, port report and review available

I'm thinking I might buy this.

I'm running MESA-git, i7-6700k with a RX 480 -- I was wondering if anyone with similar specs has a frame-rate? Intel CPU is important IMO to make sure it's not CPU-bound.

Quoting: MblackwellThe track pad is far superior to a stick for FPS.

Wut? No seriously I would like to hear your argument? For me I'm a billion times faster and preciser on twin joysticks.

Of course I know this is probably a case of "what works for me" and "what works for you" are totally different.

Bastion for Linux is finally available on GOG, the game also now uses FNA

Maybe if Gog Galaxy was a complete thing on Linux I would have spent my cash there instead of Steam?

I refuse to use any distribution service until a central client does all the dirty hard work for me.

There are two ways I see Steam Controller working

1. Ignore the two trackpads and exclusively use the joystick and ABXY buttons or

2. Ignore the Joystick and ABXY buttons and exclusively use the Trackpads and tigers with multi-click.

Too bad I couldn't unscrew the right trackpad & install a joystick I would buy 3 more Steam Controllers for FPS games.

The 'SMACH Z' gaming handheld is back on Kickstarter, no longer using SteamOS but their own Linux version

Quoting: TheGZeusRadeon graphics support is so much more limited on Linux atm.
If Mesa and the drivers catch up I'd switch in a minute, regardless of the crazy stuff I'd have to do get Wine stuff to work with the "steam controller" built into it.

Mesa and RX 480 is working great for me. Replaced GTX 970 and am happier.

If they put the new RX APU inside this I think it'd be a winner but I don't think it's out yet.

Feral have released the minimum and recommend system requirements for Mad Max on Linux

Quoting: sarmadThis sounds like a bad port. The spec is much higher than the game seems to need.

Did you NOT read the comments?

Liam noted a page or two up that Ferel always recommends higher specs than is necessary including minimum specs.

The specs they recommend are mainly what hardware it's been tested on.

Looks addictive. Could this be the one marble game I've been searching for?

(I'm looking for a Marble Blast reincarnation or other Marble games)

- Must have Full Controller Support
- Must have Steam Cloud

Looks like it could be a winner.

What have you been playing recently, and what do you think?
