So, will this game have Linux / Mac builds?

[Qchto]

I already own and enjoy this game on PS4, but as someone who is not always home and have had a very poor experience with Remote Play outside my network, hearing this game is coming to PC hyped me by the prospect of playing it on my laptop.

So my question would be: is this truly a PC release or a mere Windows one?

Regardless, +1 for Linux.

Edit: Specs from various sources list for this is a mere Windows port. Anyway, feel free to use this thread for showing support to an eventual Linux / Mac release.

KT typically cannot even pull off a well-functioning Windows port.
Linux or Mac? Unlikely.

*sight* Oh, well. I'll just wait for an official press release then. If not, back to waiting for a PS4 emulator then..

Nonsense about PS4 emulator when it's a PC game, where you can run a windows virtual machine on a linux platform. Even so, the only barrier is whether your PC box is powerful enough to do that.

you'll not live long enough for a ps4 emulator, we still don't have a decent ps2 one and the ps3 one gets 1 game running per year at 5fps

So you telling us all your 1390 games work out of Windows? GTFO!

[TesX]

Please port it to linux! :)

[zackgm]

I will buy this game twice if it is released for linux.
+1

But then I have to remind myself about DOA and how they made sure to include "Complete Edition" in the title of this game.

Again, I already have the PS4 game, so why would I buy this for Windows if I have to recur to emulation anyway (and considering OrbisOS already run on x86_64 hardware, I'm confident a PS4 emulator may become a piece of cake compared to other emulators with more cryptic architectures, as once devs can extract, decrypt and wrap some especific libraries over a standard Linux base, hardware performance should be 1:1).
Besides, I already have a Windows 10 VM for some games, including this one via Remote Play[i.imgur.com], so even if a emulator never come to be, I have no incentive on buying this version.

While I admit haven't played them all, at least 1073 does directly[i.imgur.com].
Also, before I buy I do check for WINE compatibility, so I'm confident I can play my whole collection one way or another under Linux.
That without mentioning somegames from Origin (for the Mass Effect original trilogy) and Blizzard (for Starcraft mostly, although I know other games already run under WINE, Overwatch included).
And that all leaving emulators (PCSX2, PPSSPP, Dolphin, RetroArch, etc), Linux builds of fan games (like AM2R) and OSS games/reimplementations (like OpenRCT2, ZDoom, Doom 3) aside.
Here's an album I made some time ago if you need proof[imgur.com], so if after all that still you imply that Windows is always required to keep up to date on gaming, let me cite you:

Now, we can discuss all of this on another forum if you want (PM me if that's the case), but please, allow this thread to be used by people interested in a Linux (or Mac) version to voice our request.
Have a nice day.

I don't see why Nioh can't be ported to Linux.

Because KT isn't going to fork out any amount of money to port this or any of their games to a platform where they'll receive about 17 sales worldwide.
Not gonna happen

Do Japanese developers hate Linux?

What matters is the hardware. That's the problem that existed compared to the PS4 Nioh before the PC release.

Linux runs on the same hardware, be it laptop or desktop, as Windows (tho Windows has better complatibility, but that's another subject), so a dual boot is one way that solves this part of the problem.

Also Windows 10 can be used for free with a water mark and disabled cusomization unless that changed lately. That's incase one wonders about the extra pay for the OS.

The Mac part of the problem remains, but I don't think one gets a Mac for the much less available number of games compared to IBM compatible PC. I also think if it runs on Mac, it would play the same as on PC due to their similarities.

But are you suggesting Linux and Mac releases for case scenarios not covered above? Are you just hoping to have different ports for different platforms regadless?
