Forum: Future Ports of Games to Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-been-awhile dept.

It's been a long time since I posted an open forum like this, but I'm curious what people think on this one. What games do you most want to see ported to Linux in the next few months? Of course, for me personally it's StarCraft and Diablo 2, but I'm curious what games have come out or are due soon that people would most like to see a port of (and note that WINE doesn't count. ;)

    I don't think you understand the roaring mass of people who want starcraft ported.

    Just because it's new doesn't mean it's fun. Starcraft is one of the best games I have ever played, and has a lot of life left in it.

    Yeah, I know I'm gonna get flamed back to the Stone Age for this one, but let's not have someone waste time porting Starcraft . . . it's just too old.

    There are so many newer, up-and-coming games that Loki could be spending their time on:

    • Halo
    • Oni
    • Tribes2
    • TeamFortress2
    • Warcraft3
    • . . . et cetera . . .
    After all, why don't we aim our proselytizing at games BEFORE they come out? Have you seen the Halo trailers? Good lord, we need to have that game on Linux.

    . . . of course, I could be wrong . . .

    Hi I'm working for Tribsoft (we are porting Jagged Alliance 2 to Linux).

    Linux IS becoming a major gaming platform. We are currently writting contracts for some extremely interesting games (I mean AAA games).

    In 2000, there is a lot of GREAT THINGS coming for Linux. (Damm NDAs...)
