If the AMD drivers can improve to a point where I get close to if not parity with my GTX760 then I will consider AMD when upgrading my GPU.

I would vastly prefer to have that choice like I did when I gamed on windows, as it stands being locked into Nvidia is a pain.

Quoting: maodzedunBatman makes no difference - the game is just terrible performance wise...

I had heard/read that the initial release of Batman was a trainwreck performance wise, but was unaware it was still a hunk of junk. Personally Batman is of no interest to me, I just couldnt get into the combat system possibly why Im not over enamoured by Shadow of Mordor either. Now Witcher 3 that is a game I would really love to see on Linux, especially having W2 already.

Quoting: maodzedunI don't think this will happen at all. At this points it's obvious it's gone the way of Mad Max and Batman: Arkham Knight ports.

Is it really confirmed that neither of these titles will come to Linux though? All I've read about either one is hearsay, speculation and pessimistic assumptions.

Werll Batman is still showing on the Feral Radar thing for mac and linux releases so I personally would assume that is still being worked on given that Feral would probably be fairly upfront if that had been cancelled.

I also assume in the case were work is being done by an external porting house such as Feral & Aspyr, that once the contract initiating the work has been signed then it is pretty much fait acompli, as most of the profit that Feral and Aspyr get is from sales of the ported product so cancellation by the original developer would I imagine if the contract is secure would result in liquidated damages due to the porter for resource costs that now will not be recouped.



Internal ports are another matter, the costs of aborting can be justified if they dont believe the long term result will be a net benefit either finacially or in the form of 'Goodwill'.

Quoting: CreakThat is... surprising!

As a Ubi developer, I didn't expect that ;)

They certainly moved quickly though it was only 5 days ago that we got the first signs of steamos movement on steamdb; hopefully this is a sign of what has been happening in the background to the steamos release...

at least we can hope.

I hope you are as well, but currently the Steam landing page is curiosly absent of any big fanfare. Im hoping that is because of the time difference and when the USA comes online steam will be loud and proud about SteamOS's release today. I will be severely dissappointed if today passes as if it is any other day for valve.

Quoting: liamdaweValve haven't even enabled streaming for Linux yet!

Wrong there I was streaming Pillars of Eternity from my Linux desktop to my Linux laptop over the summer when I was laid low with a broken ankle.

At one time you could in-home stream from a Linux PC, but it's not available at the moment.

Well thats shit, why have they broken it when it was working perfectly fine earlier this year. though I am going to have to check this out myself tonight

Shame it's delayed but would much rather a polished release than a buggy mess. Linux gaming is still in its infancy and we need games to work as smoothly as possible.

Plus I have a ton of other games to finish first!

According to Feral on Facebook where I asked if they would be supported if I pre-ordered. They seem to indicate that so long as we install on mLinux and play it there they will benefit.

I have the same questions, is it worth just waiting for Part 1 & 2 to be released and then play POE as a full experience, or are the DLC's standalone.

I have plenty of backlog so it's not as if Im stuck for games to play at the minute.
