Hey Luke. Many people seem to expect Trials Fusion gameplay, but it's not the same experience, so please be advised.

Watching the video, I see that. But it's still a similar style of game ;)

I don't want to, but it's also very important that we make it known that we don't like this, every time it pops up.

That's a really good point. One I didn't give much thought to. Thanks for taking the time to write.

QuoteThat's illegal. Please, refrain from doing this. We do not want to cement our reputation as thieving beggars not capable of paying for Windows.


It's correct to pay for a product that you don't have any kind of guarrantee or support? why you should pay to play a game that maybe crash time to time and maybe won't load second level or get stuck in any place? I won't pay for any windows game to be used on wine.

STOP. PROMOTING. PIRACY!

How fucking hard is that to understand?

Because of Ubuntu being outdated most of the time, I kind of wish devs would target fedora stable releases as well / in replacement of.

Gunmetal Arcadia released with same-day Linux support

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionReally nice 80s imitation. A lot of indie games go for pixel graphics simply because it is easier but Gunmetal actually appears to go for that console-on-a-CRT-television appearance.
I prefer clean pixels and crisp colour. No nostalgia at all for those horrible fishbowl screens and crappy analogue signals. But I'm sure these effects can be (partially) turned off and the game is no worse for it.

That's why it's called nostalgia ;)
The visual style definitely brings back memories for me. Nostalgia is quite a powerful thing.

HITMAN for Linux officially announced, port by Feral Interactive and arriving this month

Quoting: AryvandaarI highly doubt that Bethesda will port their games to Linux any time soon, if at all.

The problem is that if I'm going to take a hard stance on Linux gaming I won't be able to play some of my favourite games. I have enough moral laws to add Linux gaming to that list. I will play whatever games I like and can on Linux, but if there is no Linux version I will just play the Windows version.

I already boycott a lot of publishers and developers because of their anti-consumer practices.

I tend to agree. But then I get conflicted by my hardliners stance on "if it's not ported or supported on linux".. seriously though, what motivation does a publisher have if the game runs fine under wine? None, really. They'd expend x amount of effort for little/no gain - I suspect this is exactly what Bethesda thinks, and it sucks shit.

And then you get the twats that say "Yeah it works on Linux fine", we're all "Awesome! Where do we get it?" And then they come back with "You just need to install wine then install the Windows version"...

Fuck you, buddy.

Quoting: Luke_NukemI would trade this a thousand times over for a naive Doom 4 port, with Vulkan...

:|

You can run DOOM in WINE almost perfectly with Vulkan enabled in steam launch options.

I know right. But that's not officially supported, not native, and means fucking around with wine running another Steam install..
