Grats GOG I been waiting for years to see FEAR go drm free and its real! I hope we see fear 2, condemned and other great games soon :D
Posted February 12, 2015
Well done, GOG. I might have waited on a bunch of these... if tomorrow wasn't payday. Insta-budgeted. :)

Does lotr bfme and bfme 2 now count as warner bros? Because they now own lotr games (Or licensed it to EA before) and they aren't on digital distribution so there could be some agreement.

Good news overall. If Bastion is here then maybe there's hope for Transistor

Fesin: Yeah, I can't see the Battle for Middle-Earth games ever being sold again. Damn shame, I only played the first one, but it was really, really good.
They're basically abandonware at this point, and I can't see them getting out of that anytime soon.

skeletonbow: Wow, you missed out on a great game then! BFME2 is the best of the series. Basically if you play BFME you find things you like about it and a dozen or so things you think they could improve or change about the game to make it 10 times better, then they released BFME2 with all those changes like they read your mind or something. ;oP If you find BFME2 with or without Rise of the Witch King expansion in a bargain bin somewhere, grab it and you wont regret it. :)

I still play it both single and multiplayer (LAN) even though they stupped supporting it ages ago and killed the online MP servers. One of the best games of all time in my books! :)
Still hope... really want to play 2 I've already played 1 and it is pretty good.

Wow! Awesome to see Warner here. Thank you for making it happen!

BFME2 is awesome. We still play it on Lan-Parties. The good as well as the Evil Campaign are very good. And the Rise of the Witch King Addons brings a new factions aswell as allot of content and a new campaign. The Risk (like the board game) kind of gamemode is very cool too. Overall a great RTS.

jamyskis: Great news, although I'll remain sceptical for the time being about where this is going, as most other AAA partnerships have turned out to be a bit of a dead-end. Today we're still waiting for Assassin's Creed 2/3/4/Brotherhood/Revelations, the remaining Splinter Cell games, the Mass Effect trilogy, the Dragon Age trilogy and so on.

Every new AAA publisher that GOG has bagged has as yet failed to produce a single game that has not been DRM-free before. Ubisoft to this day haven't produced a single game that was UPlay-only, EA haven't produced a single game that has been Origin-only, and Disney hasn't produced a single game that has been Steam-only. All of the games that are released on GOG are ones that can be bought used on disc. Their release here is not a commitment to DRM-free - it's a method of discouraging DRM opponents from buying used copies, which I really have no opinion on, but I rather have a DRM-free copy of a game where a used disc copy isn't an option in the first place.

I note also that all of the WBIE titles here have likewise been available DRM-free in the past, and like the other publishers, I suspect that many of these are only here because gamers otherwise have the option of keeping away from the DRM versions by buying used copies of the originals on disc. Also, it's rather odd that GOG should get the inferior DOS versions of the MK trilogy when Steam has the superior Arcade Kollektion (multiplayer be damned - like most MP games, online is long dead anyway).

I'll be impressed when we see FEAR 2 & 3, the Arkham trilogy (although Asylum was technically DRM-free, because it used the offline version of GFWL's protection), MK9 & X, Shadow of Mordor, Gauntlet and Injustice.
I have to agree with all this. While this is a nice addition, it doesn't have the same impact as Disney/Lucasfilm since a)many of these games are available elsewhere/bundled for some time and b) they've been available DRM-Free elsewhere. It's too bad that there is no soundtrack for Bastion, considering Steam has it and was offered when in a Humble Bundle (DRM-Free was also provided).

Lets see WB bring something like Shadow of Mordor here, DRM-Free. That would be a big statement.

excellent games but all are 3d, even bastion is.

i stick at 2d or simple isometric view this way the diner i had stays in when i play a game :D
like i mentioned before 3d makes me feel seasick.


btw ever heard of Primal Rage ? old animal beat em up (DOS)

i picked it up long long time ago on a games fair on retail cd , back in the 90s
ofcourse that game does not work :D thanks to the ever changing windows (thank you bill)
Its not a disaster to move to new windows m but it always goes at a very large loss of old software wchich simply wont work properl, or not at all.

I wonder which games will still run okay on win 10 when it comes out?
I do hope all the gog games i still work flawlessly on win 10.
Cause 7 is in extended and 4 years from now he gets the XP treatment: 'buried' with the other old windows OS
Then we are forced to win 10.
Seems 9 be skipped and rumors say there wont be odd numbers?
Nice thinking if so, cause with the even numbers no one can complain that the even numbers stink :D
What we can try is to skip every odd release

like 10 will be off. 9, so 12 would be 10 and should be approached with caution ...

Awesome! I have most of these on Steam but in the future I will refrain from picking up Warner Bros titles so that I can get them here.

Posted February 12, 2015

Btw, offtopic, i have been living under a rock, what's up with those same avatars but with different colours (astrugar710, sherringon456, MrChaos, etc).

Hey, that gives me an idea! Mortal Kombat could now be used for GOG forum dispute resolution if multiplayer is supported. :)
