The big annual event starts on 18th August yet we on GOG start the celebrations of QuakeCon early this year. To help you get into the mood, we’ve prepared a Special Sale that includes great games from Bethesda up to 80% off and lasts until 22nd August, 5 PM UTC.

Gudadantza: (...) Should I understand that the Doom II version will be the next? Quake Enhanced as well, finally?

UCrest: As others (GOG users and colleagues) have already said, the DOOM II Enhanced version is now also available on GOG. Not long ago the Quake versions were updated on Steam. So it is likely that we will soon see the Enhanced versions of Quake on GOG.

Edit.-
I'd love to be able to port some of my Steam titles to GOG, including the Quake series.
But I think that will be impossible (at least for the moment). :(
GOG Connect is deader than dead.

I think UCrest is talking about double dipping (or tripple/quadruple).

Thanks for bringing over the enhanced Doom ports!

Any extra system requirements for doom 1 and 2 enhanced? Haven't played Doom 1 and 2 yet

Yes. Obviously they don't run on DOS. They use parts of Unity, so there is a lot of overhead.

But it isn't written on the store correctly i think what kind of system requirements the enhanced version needs.
I would like to know.

Imo you should create a separate news article about the Doom Unity ports showing up, it's a win worth pointing out separate from the "same ol same ol" QuakeCon sale. (Or if Doom 3 + RoE original is indeed coming soon - hopefully - I guess you could wait until then and showcase them all at once. Ideally Quake Remastered too but obviously I'm hoping for at least Doom 3 + RoE original)

Thanks very much for Doom and Doom II Enhanced. Not sure why they bothered to add the Bethesda.net thing in there but I'm glad I don't have to use it.

For both DOOM 1 and 2 Enhanced, Bethesda.net account is needed to download the curated addons they have (like Final Doom). Don't know if it's needed for multiplayer.

DOOM 64 also have Bethesda.net account but it is not needed for anything.

Really? That's unfortunate.

I haven't been able to find any real information. On Steam they only write that you need a somewhat recent version of Windows.

Come on. It's just an account. Don't tell me that you do not have more than one account. You also need one acount to download mods in some sites like nexusmods .

Gudadantza: …
First things first: I said unfortunate, but I will bite once.

That's something different. I can easily make backups of the files from nexusmods. And it's clearly additional content.

These things list the content as a feature. Why would I need an offline installer that does not include the complete content? There's no reason to make a backup if it still needs an online connection to load the content.

They are all external addons mate. Even the TNT and Plutonia packs are treated as external addons, they are not part of the "complete package" Only the Master Levels are included as official in Doom II Enhanced

Question is if one just needs to create account, download the content and back up the folder where the files are installed for future installation, or is the account required to access the add-ons, even if the files are on hard drive.

Considering that in the folder where the downladed packs are stored you can manualy add your own wads, I believe you could do it. The Downloaded packs are folders with files inside (metadata, pictures, and the wads but without any extension)
