It reminds me a bit of the upcoming Wrath Of Pegasus (which was playable online on Linux for the beta).

Quoting: michawell, the graphics actually look worse than most last gen shooters atm. So not really a great advertisement for UE4.. still looking forward to newer versions. =)

There's one level that's up to the visual standard you'd expect (absolutely amazingly gorgeous), so you can see what the engine can do and the rest are, as liamdawe said, placeholders.

The game did launch in a fairly broken state with regards to window and fullscreen handling though - which is what I noticed most of the support requests being for - so it would've likely been the same percentage for any platform launching with such issues.
(note, I just noticed it on the Steam forum, I have no affiliation with the game or the company behind it)

Quoting: CybolicI've noticed this trend with "AAA" games that have a Linux version coming, won't put a Linux or SteamOS logo at the end of the trailer and I find it really odd. Why on earth wouldn't they want to advertise a potential sale?

To be fair, there is no Windows logo either…

True, I missed that completely - years of seeing the PC-DVD logo made it synonymous even to me, who hates the term PC used for Windows :/

I already owned it, but have never played it, so I bought it again from Aspyr's store :)

Quoting: EKRboi[...]The good news is that Vulkan will actually make use of multiple GPUs. So that limitation should be a thing of the past in a couple of years.

Precisely. As there aren't even any games/experiences that really headline VR, they will likely come at a time when Vulcan support will be standard.

I will definitely be getting a VR headset and with this announcement, it looks like it will be from HTC/Valve (if Samsung doesn't come out with something that isn't labelled "innovator edition" - and is actually available - before then).

This deserves a happy dance! I've been following their wonderful dev-logs for some time, feeling sad every time knowing that they weren't planning a Linux release, but now is a time of rejoicing! :D

What's even stranger to me in this case is that it's already planned for Windows, PS4, and iOS. It must surely, therefore, not be too difficult to make a Linux port. Something just doesn't smell right here.

I agree. This means The Witness has shaders written in HLSL or GLSL (Windows Direct3D or OpenGL), PSSL (PS4) and either MSL (iOS8) or GLSL (general iOS) - surely he's either using a different shader language to compile into those two/three targets, a graphical tool or simply just OpenGL with a separate PS4 port. Since he's also supporting iOS and probably not just version 8 of the OS, the shaders he says would be a nightmare to do consistently, should already exist. My guess is that he's either using middleware in a way he doesn't quite understand or his opinion about porting to Linux is heavily skewed to the point of being nonsensical.

Quoting: keikiHmmm...the game is not listed as Linux game. http://store.steampowered.com/app/233130/

What have I missed? :)

Wow, that's really weird :/ It was listed as a Linux game when I bought it and the update played just fine yesterday.... very odd indeed.
