For those saying X Rebirth sucks, I can't really comment on that 'cause I haven't played it yet.

But it's not like Egosoft hasn't ported all of the X 3 games (X3: Reunion, X3: Terran Conflict, X3: Albion Prelude) so you can buy those instead for Linux.

I kind of wish they'd port the older ones as well, (X2: The Threat actually has a port, but it's not on Steam, it was done by Linux Game Publishing. Also just realized I have a hard copy of that and X3: Reunion, I forgot they ported that one as well!)

Kind of brings up the (off topic) question of why there are so many games on Steam that have native ports around, but aren't available on SteamOS... I know publishers and all that, but still it'd be nice to be able to not have to do any trickery to get things like X2: The Threat to run, and many others like Unreal (up to 2004?) and iD games, etc.

Nice, apparently on my system it was causing out of memory issues, but that may have been when I was attempting to run it in 2560x1080 with my other two screens on (it did not like that at all, finally disabled the other two (I wasn't using it stretched) ran fine after). I also run it on epic, I will try it out again with the fps counter on.

I have a 980GTX, with AMD 8120 and 8GB of RAM., so motherboard/cpu is kind of slow, though I do have a fast GPU.

Isn't the 'Jaguar based' system, basically a PS4? I also find it amusing when people throw out the 'if it doesn't play at 60fps, it's slow!' I'd rather have a constant 30fps, than an occasional jump up to 60fps anyhow. It's when it starts to drop down to 5-10fps for long periods of time that the performance is unacceptable.

This is awesome, but I agree with the other poster, nVidia would need to have one, because we all know how crap AMD's drivers still are for Linux. Can't' the nVidia Shield already stream Steam games?

I hadn't seen that option either. But I already have Wasteland (1&2) and did get the one that included Torment.

Personally I would suggest playing the first Wasteland... Fallout 1 is basically a remake of that. I don't recall though if Fallout had the three legged hooker....

I bought this already when it was on sale awhile back because it looked awesome. I have an SSD and even there it takes forever to load.

Game runs mostly smooth on highest settings at 2560x1080 on my 980GTX with amd 8120 cpu. I think this is the game that gives toy an option of low memory (4GB?). The fact that 4GB of ram is considered low these days scares me...

Really wanted to play this on Linux (I am logged into it 90% of the time). Didn't know it was even being released for it until it was announced here and am really excited to play it more. Until the 30th, I will work on finishing Dying Light. :)

So... Neverwinter Nights 3?

Will this come with tools similar to the them so modules can be created (sounds like it), though the tools were never ported to Linux sadly.

Can I just say IT IS ABOUT TIME!!

Gonna have to buy this. Granted I've bought all of their games at one point or another, from Penumbra 1 on, but I have yet to win any of them. Penumbra scares the living hell out of me and I start to have panic attacks... stinking dogs...

The thing that really makes their games ultimately true 'survival horror' games, is that you don't get any real weaponry at all. So you end up feeling completely helpless.

One thing I think that would potentially make people have heart attacks, but be very awesome, would be if this game had support for SteamVR (or other competing VR tech.) Imagine being able to reach out and interact with objects like that?

Just to throw in my two cents, it seems to still be working here. I have a 980GTX, and am running nvidia driver 343.36 (Debian Jessie with drivers packaged from experimental). I'm guessing it won't work in my Arch Linux install though, since it'll be updated to the latest drivers.

The game is fun as long as you have exactly 5 people to play. As far as what I was told (didn't really look at it myself) the DLC are just for 'unlocking things without having to actually play' style (so pay to win before your buds, which is freaking retarded. A lot of MMOs do this style because the logic is, some people don't have the time to play as much as others, but they have tons of money to spend apparently).

I'm pretty much with the rest of you though, it's mostly just good to see a 'AAA' game coming to Linux. The real exciting thing here is CryEngine for Linux, and Star Citizen being able to be ported because of it. (Still waiting for Elite: Dangerous to be announced for Linux...)

Awesome, I was hoping one day this would come to Linux, I've owned it since before it's general release, and haven't had time to play it since I rarely get time these days to boot into Windows for very long. Now I'm going to have to figure out a way to get my Logitech G27 (for ground vehicles), Saitek X52 Pro (for air vehicles) and keyboard/mouse (for on foot) all together so that I can easily switch.
