Is there a possibility that Blood Omen 1 could be released? I was reading about who owns it and it seems it is Sierra?

So, they're thinking of having higher price points for more recent games (under pressure from certain publishers). Any thoughts? 'Cuz that's just terrible.

I would totally buy Soldier of Fortune II if it got a GOG.com release.

Gotta link for that? Also, if they were to add another price tier I wouldn't mind. $15 would be the likely slot. If it was $6, $10, and $15 their service would still be cheaper than all the others who generally dip down to $15 as their absolute bottom.

Marcin Iwinski posted:At the same time if we are talking with our partners to add a 3-years-old hit to the portfolio, $9.99 might be a bit too low, so yes – do expect some new price points up on GOG.com, and definitely way more great games and additional materials.

I guess it depends on how recent. I'd rather they stick to older games, but if I can get titles that normally show up on services like Steam DRM-free, I'm fine with a $15 price point.

If it was $6, $10, and $15 their service would still be cheaper than all the others who generally dip down to $15 as their absolute bottom. They mentioned it in just every interview they did for the Activision thing. quote:What we are not ruling out is to look at more diversified price points, as currently with $5.99 and $9.99 (these are the only two price points on GOG.com as of today) we do not feel we are doing all the titles justice. What we would like to introduce at some point are lower price points for the really old titles, as even an impulse price of $5.99 might be perceived as a bit too high for a 10+ year-old game. At the same time, $9.99 might be a bit too low for a 3-year-old major blockbuster… a word of explanation here: $9.99 is perfectly fine for us, but sometimes it is not for the publisher. Still, our full focus is on good old games. http://www.gamepro.com/article/features/213744/how-the-good-old-games-service-started/

I think it really comes down to whether a game is actually OLD or not. If you're charging me $15 for something that came out two years ago, then fine, because it's probably also available on steam or amazon for a similar price. If you're charging me $15 for something that came on floppies, then that's not so fine anymore. Personally, I'm mainly going to use the service for old stuff that runs on DOS/Win95 and that my CDs don't work for anymore.

Agreed. I can get behind a $15 for 3-year-old games. Stuff I just missed out on that might never make it to a bargain bin some time in the future. In fact, I can't recall the last time I've seen the $5-20 bargain bin at a game store. Or a PC game store in general

$15 for a 3 yr old age that doesn't have DRM isn't a bad deal if it still includes the extra stuff. But again, I just got Mass Effect on Steam for $5, so it's hard to jump on it.

It probably varies from region to region, but IIRC that was during the sale...standard price for Mass Effect is $20 on Steam. Not to mention that GOG also had some decent discounts at the time and I'd imagine that whatever they sell using the new price point won't be immune to additional special offers.

I've still never seen a FPS/strategy hybrid actually work, but Battlezone always did. It was even good online.

Blodskur posted:Yeah, I'd prefer them to stick to $6 and $10 as well. I've been supporting them and those pricepoints from the very beginning and it's perfect really. I know they might want more recent games include (I could see why some publishers wouldn't want a game like say BioShock on there for $10), but there are many classics they should focus on first that'd be able to fit in the $6 to $10 range yet. I see what you're saying here but just want to add BioShock isn't exactly the best example for this. It seems to go on sale for $5 on Steam like twice a month, and once they had it for $2 I think. Not to mention you can get it free for preordering BioShock 2. Hell I'm rather surprised its default price is still $20.

I just got to day 6 of Gabriel Knight and so far the game is awesome. However I think I just ran into a bug. I'm at the part where you have to get the fat cop away from the front desk so that you can get into Mosely's office. I managed to get the donut truck back in front of the police station, but as soon as the guy leaves his position and walks out the door, the game goes into fast forward and he comes back inside immediately, which doesn't leave me any time to go snooping around. Should I just not complain and get CPUKiller or whatever other program to slow down my computer's processing speed, or is this the kind of thing that the GOG folks could fix themselves? e: I'm gonna try to run this on my lovely work computer, hopefully I can get through this part without too much trouble.

Nope, thankfully it's not a bug. After you try to destract the cop with the donut stand, leave the station and come back. The cop will start dozing off. Time it right and you will be able to get in Mosely's office.

The thing about some of these really old games being priced at $10-15, there is probably a non-trivial amount of work needed just to make them install and run properly on current operating systems and hardware. (Assuming they go to that effort.) I still own the discs & floppies to games I bought in the '90s like I76, Mechwarrior2, Carmageddon, Tie Fighter etc. but they don't do me any good because they aren't going to work on my Win7 x64 system with no floppy drive.

I just tried to find the owner of the rights to the Master of Orion franchise (of Microprose fame) and a long and adventurous journey through Wikipedia indicates that the rights belong to Atari now. Does anyone know how high the probabilities are that we will ever see the Master of Orion-series on GOG? If they released it I would (re-)buy them so fast GOG wouldn't know what hit them...

Also I'm going through the Gabriel Knight retrospective on here and I got all giddy when I read that Worf did voice work on this GK1. I totally knew it was him too

I love this site more and more. GOG posted a really nice editorial about the Gabriel Knight series and the first installment in particular. People who are on the edge about getting GK1 should read it for sure: http://www.gog.com/en/editorial/month_of_activision_gabriel_knight_retrospective/ I would like to see more in-depth articles about the games and developers featured on GOG.com. Stuff like this makes you believe they care about what they're doing.

I-76 was an awesome game. Here's hoping they release the Arsenal version which had graphical updates and Nitro bundled in.
