I could go on but this is enough for now.

I honestly can't wait for the Linux port of Rage!
All the best to Tim and his future in (Linux) game development.

In theory ut3 and rage are supported via wine. the difference however is that ut3 is awfully slow due to the conversation from d3d to opengl. for rage the 3d rendering is 1:1 mapped and therefore MUCH faster. opengl games via wine vs native is no huge speed diff and you even gain the feature to press alt+tab which is often not possible with pure sdl ports. so you can play it, dont worry. It would be much worse when id software would produce d3d only games.

I'm all for native over wine. Wine to me defeats some of the purpose of using Linux.

so yes this is bad for all non stereoscopic view gamers.

POLYGONS VS TEXTURES. Really? Really, ID... this is so 1990's man!
If I want textures I'll go play Doom.

There are no excuses for this lapse of quality. The point here is this man, Carmack, was going on and on about huge textures. Nobody has cared about textures since height maps were all the rage, no pun intended. In all seriousness, Doom 3 was a better game. This pile is already in the budget rack at most retailers. UT3 is what we need. Look at Arkam Asylum, Arkam city, and the whole slew of other franchises using this tech from UT3.
Id is a washed up metal band from the 80's that has failed to reinvent itself, lost it's talent at every turn and can no longer play the tune that found the fame before.
FaIL Barn! Failed and finished. 1/2 out of 5 stars for excellent 80's textures.
Peace!
