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.

andron5426d 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...

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

TheBand1t5425d ago

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

Eiffel5425d ago

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

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.

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

Harryvok660d ago

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