A quick look at performance and gameplay of Shadow Warrior running at Ultra settings, natively on Ubuntu!

Please note, this is my first 60fps video and I'm returning to Kdenlive so expect peculiarities in the video. I've tried to fix most of them, but there does seem to be the odd black screen swipe every now and then.

This video is generally cut into two sections:
1. Fullscreen 0:00
2. Windowed-mode 4:19

Shadow Warrior is being released as part of the new Humble Indie Bundle 14 (finally a refocus on Linux ports HB!).

Since I was recording at 60fps with SSR, it's to be noted I was actually losing 60 fps throughout. Without SSR on, I have over 100 fps a majority of the time on Ultra at 1080p!

I can't imagine how high the frames must go for those with newer hardware than mine.

Naturally, we should expect different results from AMD and Intel hardware due to the nature of their drivers still being in a state of flux.

Verdict: A quality port. Truly better than anything else this year. If it can handle SSR at 60fps recording, and still give me above 60fps at Ultra, you know it's a good port!

I apologize in advance if I've made any mistakes, I attempted this video to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully you can take something informational away after watching this.
