Wolfenstein won't be compatible with Linux

HardGame2.com writes: "John Carmack, the leader of id Software, has commented the status of various Linux ports of games that they have in development. First, Wolfenstein won't have a Linux version, because it is being developed by Raven Software (id only supervise) and published by Activision.

On future games with the idTech 5 engine (Rage and Doom 4), Carmack says: "There are no firm plans for linux ports of the idTech 5 titles, but it certainly isn't off the table. I don't think it will be very difficult to get them running on the binary nvidia drivers, but bringing them up to functionality and acceptable performance on other OpenGL drivers would probably be a more significant undertaking than we could afford."

A great reason for not to buy Wolfenstein. This will be the first time on the saga that won't have Linux version. It sucks.

andron6052d ago

On a side note: Why don't Valve release a Linux version of Steam. There has been talks about it, but will it ever happen?

Linux use is on the rise, and if there were more serious gaming solutions on Linux I would take a second look at PC gaming again...

Eiffel6051d ago

Damn Doom 4 too. Wow that seriously sucks..Oh well I'm getting the console version anyhow.

TheBand1t6051d ago

The console version of an id game? Are you mad?

Eiffel6051d ago

Nope...just got a crappy computer...*sigh*

sorceror1716051d ago

People who use Linux care, obviously. And you should, too, even if you don't use Linux... because today's modders become tomorrow's professional game developers. And today's modders often use the open-sourced versions of iD's older engines to cut their teeth. It raises the bar for the whole industry.

Loved Asuras Wrath. It’s my profile avatar for PS

cbuc1125477d ago

Hell Yeah, Asura is so bad ass!

Venoxn4g476d ago

Great game... wouldn't mind a remaster

Abnor_Mal477d ago

Loved Rain, funnily I was just thinking of it this week.

jznrpg477d ago

Definitely a good game and loved the art style. My daughter watched me play it when she was 4 years old. I’ll have to replay it with her someday now that she’s older. It’s crazy it’s been around 11 years.

Abnor_Mal477d ago

I was thinking of pulling out my PS3 super slim this winter to replay Rain, and try to tackle some of the backlog I acquired.

Knightofelemia476d ago

I love Enslaved such a sleeper hit, Asuras Wrath a very good game I still own, and I wish EA would put out a new Dante's Inferno another game I enjoyed. I never heard of the Rain game I might have to try it out might give Ebay a snoop or two.

gold_drake476d ago

enchanted arms and folklore most definitely.

theres also a game about a red haired guy and a girl who is a sword or something. good game

Knightofelemia476d ago

I think you are talking about Heavenly Blade

gold_drake476d ago

It got old tbh. Machine needed a break from the IP. Indie is a good reprieve.

Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood

Harryvok1287d ago

I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
