Phoronix: The Amnesia Game Gets Ready For A Linux Release

For those trying to find a new Linux game that offers good graphics while not being a first person shooter with little to no plot -- as is the case for a majority of the commercial and open-source games available for Linux -- the Amnesia: The Dark Descent game is expected to be released next month. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a graphic adventure horror game that will have a Linux-native client and has been in development by Frictional Games, the same studio that developed the Penumbra series...

The Penumbra games were fantastic, and I'm looking forward to this.

I hope they release the demo, so I can test it on the OSS drivers, though. Penumbra worked fine, but this is an updated engine.

I'll be happy when this starts working on my ATI Radeon (600 series), but I guess that will still be a while.

Or rather Mesa itself, since softpipe have the same problem(s).

It can't be that far away, the original engine (HPL1) worked like a charm.

Using the Open Source drivers? Really? I didn't know that.

Sure, I played through the Penumbra trilogy using r600c. Well, I got bored with the last installment eventually, but other than motion blur, everything worked perfectly.
