I do wonder if GOG might be referring to Ultima Underworld, the font choice seems rather odd if they're teasing Grim Fandango, and the colours match those of the UW2 cover.

I won't bother getting hold of it then. Just put my fingers in my ears and pretend it's '92 and Ultima VII has just come out.

Underworld was a headache inducing game... It had all the good RPG elements sure, but man did it hurt to play it. If GoG has taken it on, fingers crossed for smooth frame-rates!

^^ Honestly I think the problem with UUW is more that the interface is really terrible, performance is fine in dosbox. They pretty much had things figured out by System Shock but UUW is a pain to interact with.Liquid Q posted:I do wonder if GOG might be referring to Ultima Underworld, the font choice seems rather odd if they're teasing Grim Fandango, and the colours match those of the UW2 cover. I was thinking the same thing, but I've having trouble matching up the other clues. If it's LucasArts, "dream of stars" is probably Star Wars, "ride with the outlaws" is Outlaws or possibly Full Throttle, I have no idea what "fear your past" is and "go to the underworld" is Grim Fandango. If it's EA, "go to the underworld" is definitely UUW and "dream of stars" is probably Starflight or Wing Commander, but what are the other two?

If people want to play Grim Fandango in newer machines try this fix http://www.grim-fandango.com/downloads.php#launcher Worked for me with XP, can't vouch for Vista/Win7. Make sure you download the second version of the launcher. It's the second link.

I haven't got a clue about "ride with the outlaws". There's not really a lot of old west themed games, and I don't think EA published any. Maybe it's Need for Speed: Most Wanted  Edit: Not to mention you don't exactly ride with the outlaws in Outlaws, more like against them.

I'm hoping for EA over LA. I've played most of LA's games. It's the Ultima series I need to catch up on.

But lets be honest here EA will never relent, the only reason I even considered the notion was due to them recently suppressing the distribution of the old Ultima games on websites. As it is I guess they were just being dicks.

"The Diablo font" is called Exocet, predates that game by several years, and has been used widely for other purposes as well, not the least of which was "gothic fantasy horror game/film/etc.", so I don't think this is very much to go on.

UselessLurker posted:Oh for gently caress's sake. That's the Diablo font on their page. Thinking about it, the old blizzard games would work too. Stars - Starcraft Outlaws - Rock N Roll Racing Underworld - Diablo Past - Blackthorne Monster - Diablo 2 had those monsters that would run from you when you killed the shaman/chief Of course, this logic could possibly be applied to any game company. But since Blizzard and Activision are now joint, it'd be easier to get the rights for Blizz games most likely (wild guess on my part really). And there's no way to buy those old games on Blizzards store except for Diablo 2 and Starcraft. Still rather have Alpha Centauri. Edit: EA answer to the hint, Dungeon Keeper.

At the rate they're changing the image, they're going to run out of Blizzard games pretty soon though.

In any case, I think Dungeon Keeper used that font or one quite similar to it as well (and the teaser question arguably makes more sense when applied to it than it does to Diablo), so there!

You rode with outlaws (or against them as one yourself) in Road Rash. I'm hoping it's EA anyway. Adventure games don't really interest me.

This thread actually makes me a little sad since now I recall the time Lucasarts would make fairly big budget games with premises like grand adventure set in the afterlife with artistic direction that heavily borrows from dia de los muertos. Or a Simcity-like strategy game about building heaven and hell.  EDIT: Also I recall some people complaining about the lack of Star Wars license games back then, serves them right. uncleTomOfFinland fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Apr 13, 2011 |

Much as I like the Blizzard games, it would seem a bit of a waste. Especially since most of their games register on Blizzard and let you download the game at any time afterwards.

I would still like digital copies of the first Diablo and the first two Warcraft games. It's extremely odd that the battle.net edition of Warcraft II isn't on battle.net and can't be registered on battle.net. What the poo poo.

Would be funny if it was two or more publishers like EA / LA and the clues were deliberately hinting to games in both lineups.

But yeah the interface was terrible, the whole thing was a bit confusing (another factor would be my age when I originally played it, I was only young). If it comes out on GoG though hopefully we'll see a revival in the modding and a new interface!

UselessLurker posted:Terrible joke speculation: Bungie Games If they can actually figure out who owns Myth 1/2, that would be great. There's STILL an active modding community for those games, and continuing engine upgrades/fan-patches. Classics, no doubt about it. And even better these days, thanks to aformentioned enhancements. At this point, I'd just recommend that people torrent the games, due to them being lost in licensing hell. Dominic White fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Apr 13, 2011 |
