Does anyone know what Ryan is doing with FTE? It's a very cool Quake engine that recently added Half-life 1 support.

Anyone got Sunless Seas actually running? On my Solus Linux system it always crashes on startup.

The big advantage of these over the old games is that you can use their servers to play with any device (that has a browser) as the the input device. Thus anyone can just come over an play with their smartphone as a controller.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall seems at least possible, although there has been some contradicting news regarding a Linux port.

Quoting: iiari
Quoting: Juliusone of the best Distros for gaming due to it's bleeding edge GPU driver support.
Genuinely curious, how is this different from any other rolling distro? When new Nvidia drivers are announced, I'm getting those about a day later on Manjaro testing branch.

No idea :) Budgy as a DE is a nice GTK based option for those that do not like GNOME3 too much.
Not having tried Manjaro, I would guess the strong point of Solus is friendliness for people switching from Windows while the same time giving them all the latest software updates so that they don't complain about "outdated" software in the Ubuntu repos and then mess up their system by trying to update stuff manually.

Great, I guess changes will get into Solus then ;)
Even without Doherty it seems to be going well and is probably one of the best Distros for gaming due to it's bleeding edge GPU driver support.

DiRT 4 is officially coming to Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Hmm, commercially probably not the best choice as it was given away very cheaply on a humble bundle recently and seems to work good with Proton... thus I guess a lot of people (like me) thought it was worth a buy guessing that no-one would take this up for porting anymore.

I am very willing to buy Linux ports, but Feral needs to actually make sense in their choice of games :p

P.S.: I suspect they got the porting rights very cheaply and the engine is similar enough to Dirt Rally that porting will not take that long and so the above didn't really matter to them...

Sundered to get a big free update this month, sounds pretty good

This is actually a highly recommended game... just can't get past this giant boss battle :(
