CD Projekt RED and GOG.com Special Event: 18 October 2012 at 18:00 GMT

New Games, New OSes, Cyberpunk® Announcements, and Something Special for Witcher 2 Modders--and more!--will all be announced at this live webcast Special Event.

The developers of The Witcher franchise CD Projekt RED studio and GOG.com the DRM-free, digital distribution platform will host a Special Event on the 18th of October at 18:00 (GMT). The whole event will be streamed online on facebook.com/thewitcher or www.gog.com.

During the conference the developer studio will announce the official name of their futuristic new IP, based on the classic pen & paper RPG Cyberpunk®. More exclusive details about the project will be shown.

Not only console and PC users should tune in for the conference. Mac Computer users should be prepared for a bunch of thrilling announcements including more information about the upcoming release of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings for OS X.

Speaking of new operating systems, GOG.com will also be announcing that it is bringing the best PC games from throughout history to a new operating system. That’s not all of the news that GOG.com has planned for the Special Event, however: they will also be showcasing several new releases as well as giving gamers a unique chance to get some of the greatest classic games ever made for a literally unbeatable price.

Remember – the live stream from the CD Projekt RED and GOG.com Special Event starts October 18th, 18:00 (GMT). See you then!
GOG has made a special gaming OS of their own which is otherwise great, but none of the search functions work like you'd expect :p

I wouldn't go that far, but I would definitely not need to upgrade to future iterations of Windows once Windows 7 becomes obsolete.

Likewise, tbh.

mondo84: WTF are you guys talking about with Windows 8?

Windows 8 isnt much different than Windows 7 under the hood. That's not the announcement.

Any single program that works on W7 will work on W8.
True. Metro blabla notwithstanding.

Roman5: I'm secretly hoping for a "SEGA joining GOG" announcement...
Considering that their old Genesis/Mega Drive games are on other DD services and recently showed up on DotEmu, I think that would be a safe guess as to what is going to be announced. Personally I see SEGA's arrival on GOG as imminent, I just hope SEGA also brings the Total War games (with expansions) here too. I've got Shogun 1 Warlord Edition, but not everything in the game works well on Win XP. :(

I also hope they could bring their Dreamcast Classics to DotEmu/GOG, Jet Set Radio, Sonic Generations (and Sonic 4 ep. I and II, Sonic CD), Binary Domain and Total War. So many great titles!

I'm pretty tired of paid OSes like Windows, guess that's why this OS pisses me off.

I forgot about the Dreamcast re-releases, Jet Set Radio in particular would be nice as i've never really played it that much. Shame SEGA has no interest in re-releasing and porting the Shenmue series to PC, considering its sort of "adventure genre" inspired gameplay it would be perfect for a PC port.

Insta Uninsta!! Currently i only pay and use Windows for gaming. So if Linux has my game then No Windows...
Windows is a really hunchback for me.

Ubivis: All the Games enabled for Metro :)
Too bad that's not going to happen, and we still have to deal with shitty, bug-ridden code from the 90s and early 2000s. -_-

In any case, announcing support for Windows 8 would be pretty useless... unless they finally create and publish a WinRT application that also allows you to buy GOGs, not only download ones you've purchased from the website.
Linux, linux, linux please.
Even this is only a dream.
But never stop. Keep dreaming ..
GOG is Obsidian's partner when it comes to distributing Project Eternity in a DRM free manner and since Project Eternity is having Mac OS and Linux versions as well, it only makes sense. More and more indies and Kickstarters are supporting Linux. Competitors like the Humble Bundle and Steam are supporting Linux as well now. It would be great if this is finally it.
I really like the sound of "literally unbeatable price."

It's quite obviously, Shadowrun.
