After the huge download I got to play the Borderlands 2 Linux port before going to bed, Have to say it's very well done. The port even plays great on my 6 year old Desktop with a 4 year old ATI(AMD) video card which has issues with some less than ideally ported games.
Load times and performance may actually be better than Windows on this same machine, but that isn't too surprising.

"Metro Redux Bundle" is also new, at least as bundle. They advertise ist that it runs as fast as under Windows, including all effects and gfx options, just with OpenGL 4.0 instead of DX11. Not bad.
Of course you still need a beefy PC for that.

I literally have no reason to boot into Windows anymore.

Infinite will probably use a wrapper, though.

Why a few more hours? it's not scheduled until early 2015. You can only download the data for now, the executable is not available.

It's not a wrapper, another port done by Aspyr.

Still doesn't mean it's a wrapper. Figured since Aspyr did the Mac version and it was a 2K game that would be the case.

There are ample reasons why we think it's a wrapper, eON has been quite active around Infinite and so far Feral did not say they were doing it either, so it's either a wrapper or in-house, and in-house is extremely unlikely to say the least.
I never said it was released nowSeriously? That's much disappoint.

Well there was ample reasons for thinking it was Aspyr seeing how they did the Mac version, but apparently I'm wrong about that.

Yeah I know what you mean, I was just surprised you assumed this was true since Aspyr made it officially clear they are not doing it about a week ago. I guess you were not following the most recent news.
Anyway, it's not Aspyr and not Feral, so I don't think we will get great performance out of this. Kinda disappointing.

Wow, still visiting BluesNews? I did not know it was still active. I used to go there like... 15 years ago or so. How is it these days ?

Still updated 2 to 3 times a day, It's kind of a nice summation of what's going on in gaming, more of a high level overview than anything. Their webdesign, hasn't changed much, just a bunch of links which for me is much of the charm.
