I'm not a big fighter fan... Well except for the "Dead or Alive" franchise, I love that (yes, including the "beach" spin-offs - so much high-quality eye-candy!).

But I have Skullgirls on the PlayStation 3 and it's pretty neat - I can put my hand on my heart and say that of the games we know are coming to Linux-based operating systems, this is one of my most-anticipated... I'm not sure that it'd take the top spot, but it'd sit pretty close.

Of course, if you start to add games I want to come to Linux-based operating systems onto that list... Well unfortunately, it gets pushed pretty far down the list.

Anyway, I have this on my (Steam) "wish" list and as soon as it's available for Linux-based operating systems, I intend to buy it! It's not often I buy a game (on any platform) on Launch Day, but this is one of those few games I will probably make an exception for.

This game looks incredible, I'm completely gobsmacked... Totally can't wait to get my hands on this.

But those statistics are only based off those that receive the survey request and choose to complete the survey, right?

Not a very accurate way of documenting the actual hardware statistics, considering you're going to have a number of users refuse to participate and no way of ensuring a balanced collection of data... Valve Software should factor-in the number of Steam clients running on a given platform, either in the background or in-game.

There's no reason why Valve Software couldn't have such a data-collection method as an "opt-in" feature and it would surely have to be more accurate than the way they currently do things...

Although aware of it, I hadn't really looked into this much... Largely because I was only sort-of a Mega Man fan (though I've never played the "Mega Man X" games, which are supposedly much better than the originals).

I have to admit though, I just watched the video above and this sure looks impressive!

As long as this comes to Linux-based operating systems, I think I might pickup a copy...

Quoting: VonStill no estimates on “when”?

1.3 is supposed to come out in June, so after that.

Uh huh.

And yet the developers were previously saying it would be made available with the 1.3 update... They even showed a video of Terraria running on Ubuntu and as I recall, they claimed that "just about everything" worked (paraphrasing there).

I'll believe it when it happens... Until then, my money will stay in my bank account.

Quoting: CybaCowboyyou guys should have a list of games rumoured/suspected to be coming to be and confirmed to be coming to Linux-based operating systems...

Well, you have this list, but it's about officially promised games : https://www.gamingonlinux.com/crowdfunding/index.php/Unreleased_Ports

There should be a link to that on the home page somewhere (or somewhere else that's pretty obvious), and you should add "rumoured" to the list... Not "wish" list stuff (ha, the list'd never end!), but games that have actual rumours associated with them (e.g. internal leaks, SteamDB entries, etc...).

With Steam OS just around the corner (well, the "official" release at least), it might drive up the excitement, generate interest and otherwise "further the cause" if gamers could see in a single list what is coming to Steam OS and what is rumoured to be coming to Steam OS...

Just my 2¢.

Quoting: FutureSutureI should probably try this at some point but the list of games on Linux is increasing ever more!

In addition, you guys should have a list of games rumoured/suspected to be coming to be and confirmed to be coming to Linux-based operating systems... Perhaps via a link or your front page.

In my opinion, it'd "further the cause" if people could see some of the games - the so-called "AAA" titles in particular - that might be or are coming to Linux-based operating systems...

Edit: I misread your post and thought that you were suggesting a list of Linux games... Though the point remains the same, for the people behind Gaming on Linux.

Quoting: melkemindI'm a bit confused. I keep seeing on this site that Batman: Arkham Knight will be a "day one" release on Linux, but the Steam site says "fall". The released date that I see for other platforms is June 2.

Well my Steam client was saying June 23rd until tonight - now it's saying "Fall 2015". And here I was planning to pickup a copy on June 23rd... Looks like I'll be waiting now.

Still, Batman: Arkham Knights is what one would typically call a "AAA" title and having just checked-out the trailer in Steam, I can say I'm pretty impressed (I've never played any of the "Batman: Arkham" titles) - as long as the Sony DUALSHOCK 4 is supported by the game (the Linux kernel itself supports it), this could be a pretty impressive addition to my library...

Quoting: NovenThis is why I am glad the Steam controller will be out eventually. Having a native supported controller will be very nice.

The Sony DUALSHOCK 4 is natively supported by any Linux-based operating system running an up-to-date kernel:

It's detected as a Microsoft Xbox controller and it works flawlessly in any game that supports controller inputs... I haven't tried WINE games, but it works fine with most Steam and GOG.com games.
