If you long for the days of Caesar III you can rejoice with the FOSS game engine Julius

Maybe the engine now becomes more popular and attracts more developers. Otherwise it wont get to a state of running the sequels.
It is amazing that people already remaster the assets used.
I really liked pharaoh and its add-on.

NVIDIA presenting a talk at GTC 2020 about Linux drivers and possibly some open source news

Curious what it will be, yes i am, but since i was able to use the binary driver for games already i am not really dependent on any major breakthroughs.

Seems like Feral Interactive may have a few surprises for Linux in 2020

Cyberpunk 2077 would be a nice thing.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

Xcom2 WotC, nice work but too focused on the strategy layer not the actual fights.
Hopefully the LongWar Port will be done soon so there is more action.

I still wonder why they don't go the AMD way and share development of the base driver with the opensource community.
Would make the proprietary part smaller and easier to maintain and make the OS enthusiasts happy.
Is there any convincing reason why the signed firmware is held back?

Quoting: beko
Quoting: tpauJust get to a corner, shoot till the level is clear. Thank John Cooper and a a few navigation issues of the enemies.
I don't think that the stealth genre is something for you ;) Where's the fun in that?
It can be fun to do a game totally different than it was intended. It is also a challenge to not get shot yourself or pull too many enemies at once :)
It is also fun to try and not kill any enemy at all in Robin Hood (although that is not possible due to game mechanics)

Apart from maybe a handful of levels where you where getting crazy about the difficulty at a certain spot that was close to impossible, this game was rather easy too bruteforce. Just get to a corner, shoot till the level is clear. Thank John Cooper and a a few navigation issues of the enemies.

Setting was nice, story was nice, Graphics in the first part were nice back then.
No comment about the botched 3d attempt in the 2 other parts of the series ;)

Have they included higher resolution textures as well? The original release feels a bit blurred on current screen sizes.

Hearthstone, it is Unity Engine already
World of Warcraft (yea unlikely, but still). Rumor has it the basics were done internally already once.
This War of mine. Small Company , nice game and rendering errors in Wine still ;)

I liked the original NWN, but for an enhanced edition i stil think the graphic is too old and looks outdated. Im a little bit disappointed.
