While it can be argued that people with Linux use Windows for gaming, having Planetside 2 compatible with Linux could be a winner: PS2 could become right away the standard classic for Linux !
Especially since we're talking about a F2P game... So yes... I was wondering if any thought was given to it. Anyone who knows or could pull out that info from the devs ? |

PS2 is DirectX. The devs confirmed this already so MS only. They also said no mac support was planned. (It was also hinted by Higby that no console support for the current generation of consoles was in the works).

An OpenGL port of the client would make several platforms more available, including Mac, Linux and potentially a PlayStation console.
Whether there's enough directly shared code to make porting the rest of the client reasonable remains to be seen... ...or does it? They're not supporting Linux or Mac, so they clearly believe it isn't worth the time and effort required to do so. I suspect there's enough Mac/Linux users within SOE that the question is brought up fairly regularly. The answer just happens to be "no". |

Linux folk should just stick to playing their console games. Get it?
But seriously, who uses Linux? It's great for professional applications, but other than that there is no logical reason not to use Windows. And there is, unfortunately, no PR value in making a Linux version of anything. A couple of gaming sites would make a random news article each, which hardly anyone will notice, three people will read and no one will remember... And of course all five "Linux gaming" websites will be ecstatic, and so will their 50 readers. Last edited by FIREk; 2011-10-17 at 03:28 PM. |
