Yeah, I suppose they'll use OpenGL on Linux, since they are mostly basing it on in their engine used in SW1 (updated one), so it's not a major engine rewrite, but as long as it performs well - it's good. May be their future games will use Vulkan.

Also, Leszek Godlewski is working in FWH now. He is a known Linux games developer, quite possibly he is working on SW2: https://twitter.com/theinequation
I appreciate that they are working on the Linux version in house. CDPR should learn from them.

To be honest, I think the same. FWH gives the PC platform a bit more love and for the most part, their games are far more technically sound and bug free, particularly on release. Of course their titles are less complex and they aren't rewriting the engine for every game, but they have some top notch coders and designers. I wish they'd run forums so players could get a chance to interact with them, becasue they don't post on GOG, and only place I ever see them respond is Steam. The team has basically tripled in size as well, so who knows, they could become the next big Polish dev, offering a bit of competition to CDPR.

Road Hog Engine. Their own tech.
I don't get it. The visuals and effects look bad in that video. The level art seems very sparse. I see some vids that look great and some that look like shit. But nothing looks as good as Hard Reset, and that game is ancient by now. I know visuals aren't the most important thing but I'm confused as to what this will look like at launch.
I watched it. SW2 features both dark fantasy and cyberpunk themes. In this preview build is not yet known how are this two connected storywise.
It has dark humor and it's fast paced game.

The gang's back! So glad to see characters from the first game. Damn, I want to skip work tomorrow. 
Oh, Ameonna is confirmed! And Xing is back in some kind of robotic frame. Good trailer. I don't mind paying full price, but I'll wait for the Linux version, hopefully it won't take long.

IGN gave it 8.6, which is high praise from a site that probably doesn't know an old school FPS from an adventure game. The review itself is half assed. I've noticed the mainstream sites have avoided the magnificence of Lo's Wang. They don't give it the attention it needs.
Well I'm starting over on medium after about 3 hours on hard. I just don't have a grip on the mechanics and upgrade system yet. A few thoughts:
-not sure if their random level generator is an improvement or not. Hunting for secrets seemed a bit more interesting in the last games. Being bigger as well, I dunno. It's bigger but more empty.
-the menu theme song is brilliant. So good. I wish the rest of the in-game scores were that good.
-super polished controls and gameplay. Even better than before, and that's saying something.
-story and humor not as good so far. Fortune cookie humor is average at best, and most often they're inspirational quotes from famous historical people. Really fucking lame. I can't believe they did this.
-Lo Wang is still funny and his VOs are top notch. Kamiko is decent, not great.
-big departure systems wise from their last games. It really is Diablo in a shooter. Each time you die, you get penalized xp and money. It's a checkpoint system now, no quick saving.
-best movement and melee I've ever experienced in a FP game.
