Here's hoping it is not an RPG I already have...

*cross fingers*

Now that I think about it, chances are good its ES Arena or Daggerfall.

Oh, I hope they took my suggestion and acquired Telengard. It's on the brink of extinction and really deserves a good home.

Pheace: I would assume this is when Atari got it under control though, it arrived with the whole box-set. And it was already on GG before that I believe. So although I commend Gog on their efforts, I'd assume the 'mess' was handled before they got it.
Nope.

GOG first signed Atari. Then, after some time, they signed Hasbro, and they became the first place to sell digital IE games (BG, ID and Planescape).

This was a time when Hasbro and Atari were struggling about D&D IP. A few months later Atari and Hasbro made a deal that Hasbro got it's D&D IP back, but Atari may sell old D&D games.

I guess it was only possible because CDPRed has good relations with Hasbro (now they are their distributor in Poland) and of course with Atari (TW publisher and already on GOG).

But of course it can be Wasteland, I forgot about it. EA may not make money of it, and Brian Fargo can't sell it, it would be perfect to use as a free treat, together with the news that wasteland 2 will be redeemable on GOG.com.

That would be great, but the thing i'm really wondering is the "CD Projekt" part.

Don't wanna bash the guys at CD Projekt, i respect that they're working for thinking gamers, but from the reception i've got from Magazines and reviews/opinions over the internet, the 2 Witcher games are very good, but haven't done something groundbreaking to become legendary. And not enough time has passed to call Witcher 1 "Legendary".

Anyway i await the announcement.

One question :
We also get a video on Youtube with the Conference that keeps us up with what's to come.
Anybody knows if it will uploaded at the same day they'll have the Conference (April 5th)?

EDIT: Argh, someone posted in-between and I can't delete my message. Sorry for the spam.

Hope not, those games already have pre-configured DOSbox installs done by fans.

We should have a summary video up almost immediately afterwards, since I'm recording it tomorrow. Uploading the full video will have to wait until we get the source file from the videographers. That might happen right away, or it might take a day.

EDIT: Also, I should let you guys know that MPG (the CDP RED marketer who you're all quoting) did misspeak a little bit; I'm not gonna tell you what's coming, but I will note that it's probably not what you think.

Thanks! I'm leaving from my bandwith-free connection home and going at my family on Friday, and i wouldn't have the priviledge to watch the video if it was delayed!

Can't wait for the news :D

*Prays for Blood Omen being free to promote Legacy of Kain series coming to GOG*
This most likely won't happen though

Yeah Blood omen is a pain to get to run on anything newer then Windows 2000 even with all the workarounds and fixes people have come up with over the years but then again it is GOG were talking about I'm sure they could probably figure something out.

I still have Blood Omen on XBOX, I tried it recently and its amazing how forgiving we were back in those days, the controls were pretty crap tbh. I lved the series back then, but I would find it unplayable now.
