    I'll be buying this. They've been supporting us and I think this will be the first OGL 4.x game title ever...? At least on Linux.

      This is true, but Last Light is working very well on RadeonSI + HD7850. It is probably not as fast as on windows, but at least in my case it doesn't run on catalyst for linux at all. However, if Redux would run at similar way as Last Light does, I'd be happy. For single player games I don't care if they running 35 or 100 FPS. I'm not a FPS junkie, what counts is stability and joy

They should take advantage of what is currently possible on Linux, and that's what they do by using the latest OpenGL version.
        I agree. There's a good chance that none of the open source drivers can even handle this game properly anyway, so by the time they can support it they should be a bit more optimized.

        On another note, we should be thankful they decided to port this.

          The Windows version works on DX10/10.1 GPUs as well.
          Yes, only these cards support OGL4.x Core Profile. In future Intel HD series (Ivy Bridge and newer) should be supported too.

            My card supports 3.3 and some instructions of 4.x ... I'll don't buy the game nor a new card.

                  Well i guess you wont be playing much future game releases then, either...

                  Come on...! I dunno if it's just me, but to me it seems like there's this consensus among a lot of linux gamers that the latest games should support their ancient hardware no matter how ridiciously slow it would run.. You can't expect devs to keep supporting old, crusty machines :P

                    Waste of letters.

                      Nice they are supporting linux. Though I am a little sad that it will be a while before I can play it since I use radeon driver.
