SteamOS / Linux

[Debian Linux]

I'd like to buy it on Linux.

I understand it's Ubisoft as well as I don't need any windoz-guy opinion. Just would like it to be on this OS type.

Well you should go post in the official forums asking if they would consider making a Linux port. Though considering they don't have a Uplay linux client I find it very unlikely they will.

[Debian Linux]

absolutely right, first should go their client

... maybe they they are afraid... Maybe there are new security holes.. maybe gnu/linux users are too smart ... or maybe they don't want a new market they don't understand.
I don't know but as a french gamer I'm ashamed that the biggest french games company can't think about anything other than easy money in the short term.

No one cares about linux or mac for that matter. Why get a non windows os to... emulate windows os... I swear.

What's wrong unix? Not many games to play?

Linux is more customizable, less invasive, and less demanding on your computer than windows is. There are programs to emulate games and windows programs, although they usually dont work for everything. And its for that reason that I still use windows.

I would like to buy it on linux too. No linux, no money.

This game is built on DX11, and OpenGL is being completely rebuilt from the ground up so I doubt they are going to invest time in a discontinued API, mantle is an option once the SDK is released, but it's an Nvidia Gameworks title and that probably wouldn't go over so smoothly with them.

What I am trying to say is, you can either stream it to your linux PC from a windows box...or dual boot.

Please, for SteamOS

[jacmat]

Would love to see it on linux, too!

BTW, is there any "feature request button" on Steam, something, where many people could vote for?

What are you talking about? DX11 API calls can quite easily be translated to OpenGL 4.3 calls, which is exactly what Crytek does in the Linux version of the Cryengine. See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTYzOTA

OpenGL is by no means being "completely rebuilt" or "discontinued", so please next time include some sources before making silly claims like that.

I would probably buy Far Cry if it came to Linux (hopefully without Uplay), so +1

Edit: silly me, I always believed Far Cry used the Cryengine, because of the name, hence the example I gave about the Cryengine translating DX11 to OGL4.3. I was surprised to learn it's a different engine altogether and I'm sure a company like Ubisoft has no interest in porting it.

We can always hope that Steam OS becomes huge, so that most games will get Linux support. :)

That said, why not give Dying Light a shot. It supports Linux, and looks cool.
