Support NeoGAF

[harriet the spy]

Holy fucking shit, i need to spend more time on GAF. Can't believe the next batch of lucasarts games that just came out. Can't believe it. I am guessing that getting balance of power to work over internet might prove difficult.
Xwing alliance? Tears of joy (I am still waiting for the "Tie Fighter Empire" sequel). I need a flight stick. A good one. Wish I still had my trusty force feedback.

But shit. Rebellion? Even though it sucked, I loved playing the game. I am not sure I could handle the terrible UI again.
Never played KOTOR2 either. Might try to find that patch that supposedly gives the proper endgame.

So it's the "Space" counterpart to last week's "Planet" sale?

New games are up: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, Republic Commando, and Starfighter. Someone in another thread was complaining that Outcast was coming before Dark Forces 2, but with that not being the case, order release is still being followed for Kyle Katarn's games.

Sorry for no link, can't access GOG at work:
GOG Main Site

Updated OP with the four new releases from today, three more Star Wars games, and the Grim Fandango remake... jealous of anyone who is playing that game for the first time. One of the best adventure games made, don't miss out on it!

 

[ricki42]

New release: Cyberia. Looks interesting, and it's on Linux (and Mac/Windows).

Edit: Another release today: Supreme League of Patriots: Season Pass. Also on Linux (and Mac/Windows). Release discount of 10% until next Thursday.

Anybody know if there's plans to update Indigo Prophecy on GOG to the new version on Steam?

Keep forgetting the game's called Fahrenheit outside NA; looked on the forums, no indication at this time for us getting the remaster. There's precedent, however, with Outcast, so maybe the same will happen! I trust GOG to seek out the remaster from Steam vice the other way around, so here's hoping; haven't played this since college, and maybe the ending will make more sense

Spoiler

(probably not though).

Another sale: Devolver Game & Watch Bundle weekend promo.
10 movies, 5 games: Shadow Warrior, Shadow Warrior Classic Complete, Hotline Miami, Serious Sam The First Encounter, Serious Sam The Second Encounter.

Spoiler

Only Hotline Miami is on Linux.

Just noticed that HOMM3 is on GOG and doesn't have a GNU/Linux version. As you may know, Loki Games did a great HOMM3 port for GNU/Linux years ago. I'd've liked to see that version used to bring HOMM3 to a new generation of GNU/Linux users.

I bet I could even help find a copy of the source, if they were interested. I'm still in touch with folks from Loki Games...

I remember reading about that a while ago, but I couldn't find the Linux version anywhere. Is it still available? Also, how well does it play with current Linux distros?

No idea about compatibility.

Cost is a bit steep for not knowing if it'll run (I mean, without installing an older Linux version). Plus, I'd have to buy an optical disk drive.

New weekly staff picks: Paragons of Pixelhood.
Volgarr the Viking, FEZ, Super Time Force Ultra, Papers, Please, Last Door: Collector's Edition.

I was of the impression that there was a demo. Not sure how to find it anymore.

Edit: Aaaaaaand turns out they still exist:

Thanks! Got as far as it telling me it needs a program called loki_patch. So not very far.
I think it's easier to run the Windows version under wine.

 

[ricki42]

New release: Massive Assault and Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance.

Spoiler

Windows only

There's a 50% launch discount until next Tuesday.

Edit: and another release today: Apotheon. Looks really nice, but since it'll be free on PS+ (and is Windows-only on GOG), I guess that's where I'll be playing it.

February thread is finally up, though a bit bare-bones (no pun intended), been a bit short on time between the snow storms and everything else.
