List of Games with OpenGL Support

[DJViking]

I have created on Wikipedia the following article
List of Games with OpenGL Support

There was an equivalent for DirectX and Vulkan. As I could not find one for OpenGL I decided to create it. I have added a few games. It is currently a draft, but it may be moved soon.

My hope is that others can contribute if they know a game with OpenGL support.

Thank you. Useful.

Yes, I saw the title for that one, but was for programs. Looking now I see it does also contains games with OpenGL. I think there could be cause for two pages, one for programs and one for games.

Add games made by FrictionalGames. Penumbra series, Amnesia series, SOMA. All pure OpenGL on all platforms. Also fantastic games, all available on Linux too.

A few notes: Quake 4 was developed by Raven Software, publisheed by Activision and also Steam...

Plus there are many titles missing, mainly those based off the idtech engines 1 and 2 which were quite a few back in the late 90s.

Also, you may want to figure out the sort of games, especially those starting with 'The' should belong to the 'T' letter or that of the following word, etc.

All in all, I like the format you chose better than just a plain list with links to their articles..

id Tech engines are OpenGL-based, as well as games based on them (Call of Duty 1, McGee's Alice, Prey, etc.)

Love it!!! Get a list of all Linux games, they are all openGL based. It is a good start!!! :-D

Nope.

For an initial list, you may want to list all games for Mac and Linux in Steam Store. Theere are many more, especially those sold prior to Steam being available on Linux, which are quite a bit, for Linux games only a quick look at https://lgdb.org should do the trick.

I don't have the chance to do it all alone. Therefor I hope others can contribute and add games to the wikipedia article.

I have been cautious adding Linux games, because I am not sure they are all OpenGL. Is it given 100% that Linux games ARE OpenGL (disregard Vulkan).

[thetargos]

If they are 3D accelerated in any way, yes, they all are using OpenGL.

Sure, there was a time where Glide was present on Linux, in the early days of Unreal Tournament 99 and Unreal, when you could play those with Glide on Linux using a Voodoo 3 or Banshee (always wondered if DeusEx as ported by Loki was Glide or OpenGL). Other than those titles, all are OpenGL.

Edit
In steam are a few games that are not 3D accelerated, and hence are not OGL as such, but some "2.5D" games require some fancy functionality of OGL 3 (Broken Age)

Source engine games use ToGL, so yea you are using OpenGL on Linux, but the game is not native OpenGL. It is translating DX9 assembly to GLSL at runtime.

I think the Wiki article should distinguish between native OpenGL games and games that are using a wrapper, or built-in translation layer.

Good idea. How to find out if a game is native OpenGL?

[DJViking]

Can someone help me get sources for this Wikipedia article? I got submission declined on this article: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources"

Where would I find source that a game has OpenGL support. In most cases it simply Does Not Exist.

I started looking with DOTA 2 whch EVERYBODY knows it has OpenGL support, but no documentation that says it outright. I could find some documentation for DOTA 2 command line parameters to run the game in opengl, directx or vulkan.

What purpose would a list like that serve anyway?
