Sudden Strike 4 Launching Today With Linux Support

[aht0]

True, but if past Sudden Strikes are any indication, this more of a tactical RTS, so no bazillion units at the same time of the screen.

yeah, handful of MBT's, couple platoons worth of infantry at most. If it comes with a Map Editor, you could put those bazillion units there though. Map Editor offered me most of the fun in SSII.. Missions and Campaigns you would finish sooner or later.. what then? MP and Map Editor.

Graphics can still murder RTS games. When you get in a battle between 2-3 guys and 2134526 units appear on your screen plus effects and stuff, and the game becomes a slideshow because of shitty rendering backend you're pretty much fucked.

Unless they have a dynamic quality system that degrades quality automatically if it senses crap FPS, but then again heh.

EDIT: for an example, look at Ashes of the Singularity.

Typo. It's World War II

Is it native client or some sort of fucking "we-really-run-in-a-wrapper-but-please-pretend-the-opposite"?

The game is running the Unity engine. So it should be native, not having any wrappers.

In this case I don't think it matters. It's a strategy game, you don't need it running at 144fps.
Funny when "is it good" does not seem to factor in anymore

It seems it is only available on Steam but not on GOG. Anybody knows the reason for that? Is it the "will always be optional"-Galaxy-client?

[starshipeleven]

No, because good nazis is an oxymoron.
But you can play the bad guys (Deutsches Reich and Soviets) or Allies.

Fixed.
'cause reasons.

[theghost]

Do they let you play as the good guys (Nazis)?

Looks like it might be good, there's already two Linux reviews on it:
