Google reveal more games with the latest Stadia Connect, including Cyberpunk 2077
20 August 2019 at 8:36 am UTC

Quoting: scaineI wonder what excuses developers/publishers will dream up to release on Stadia, but not release on Linux directly...? Pfff. They'll think of something, no doubt.

I imagine something like "our only supported Linux platform is Google stadia", followed by a suggestion to play it in a browser.

What sort of controller do you have?

The art and animation is beautiful. I liked the voice work, and yes even Buzz. Its a very Romanian game, he's (half) Romanian. Makes sense!

The lip sync is sometimes a bit off putting, but easily looked past. If you enjoyed the old Lucasarts games, I think you will love this.

That's good. I played the demo and it worked perfectly with Proton, but a native version is always the preferred option.

I backed this one (even got a caricature done, which was amazing) and am really looking forward to it.

Doug Cockle (aka Geralt The Witcher) as a bad guy should be interesting.

Quoting: tofuheadMicrosoft owns inXile studio? so what makes them qualify as indie developers, and asking support in fig?
.b

They had crowdfunded this game on Fig a long time before Microsoft bought them up (and Obsidian).


Quoting: KimyrielleinXile is a studio that promised Linux support for their last game and (to this date) didn't deliver anything but empty promises.

The new patch (or directors cut, whatever it is) for Bards Tale *should* have Linux support. Wouldn't surprise me if that's the last Linux version we see from them, but who knows.

Great looking comedy point & click adventure 'Guard Duty' releasing May 2nd

Quoting: thewhoI like such games very much. Last one i've played was Thimbleweed Park and Fester Mudd. Any other suggestions beside the "original old" ones?

Mages Initiation and Quest for Infamy are both homages to the Quest for Glory series.

What else... Book of Unwritten Tales maybe?

A quick look over ProtonDB reports for Steam Play in March 2019

Quoting: hummer010Grim Dawn is finally fixed!! I'm glad to see that - time to re-install!

It works well, but with Proton 4.2 I've started to get the flickering that a few other people have reported. No issues when using the /d3d9 switch, but in that case I don't think it should be rated "Platinum". Very shiny Gold maybe.
