Rebellious JC Denton or death-dealing Mr 47? What kind of hero will you be today?

GOG.com is proud to announce that Square Enix is the newest heavyweight addition to our ever-growing GOG.com catalog of great games. SquareEnix is one of the biggest publishers of the modern gaming world with almost 30-years of experience and famous releases for every single existing gaming system.

Deus: Ex Game of the Year Edition and Hitman: Codename 47 are the first titles we’re releasing from Square Enix, and they're available today for $9.99 and $5.99 respectively. Both games were originally released by Eidos in 2000, but not a single drop of greatness has been lost since then. Deus Ex is a magnificent blend of remarkable storytelling, RPG customization, and action-packed shooting. With all GOG.com’s heart we recommend Deus Ex for $9.99 as one of the most captivating and rewarding games ever. EVER! Hitman, a demanding stealth/action/planning game, created a now-iconic bald assassin Mr 47. With a vague name and a vague past, Agent 47 at least has a clear goal: eliminate the target at all costs. For you, the cost of Hitman: Codename 47 is $5.99.

There are a few more heroes from SquareEnix, that deserve a special treatment from GOG.com, and we will be announcing them in coming weeks. Today, it’s time to shave your head and buy an AMT Hardballer or wear sunglasses at night and save the world from the Illuminati.

You decide what kind of hero you want to be.

Nice job, but I'll celebrate if I see a FF here. :-)

warcry: You should spoiler tag "Rebellious". JC is not rebellious in first five hours of the game :(
He can throw litter at UNATCO agents from the start.

What's up with that special EULA clause regarding in-game advertising? Is this actually used in any of those two titles?

The titles are an excellent addition, of course.

Oh sweet mother of god thank you!

Ahh... Square Enix/Eidos... Omikron: The Nomad Soul!

Is Final Fantasy VII going to be added? I know the port wasn't as good as the Playstation version but it would be really cool to play that on PC!

Want another spoiler: You can throw a gas grenade and enter UNATCO like 30seconds after the start of the game. :p

That's totally rebellious.

A bit of a disappointing start to the Square Enix catalogue. Both games are excellent, but they are also much cheaper elsewhere, and the CD versions or Deus Ex and Hitman are both DRM-free. Nonetheless, good to see Square Enix is on board, and am looking forward to seeing more titles from them.

Question: Does this deal apply only to Square Enix Europe, or Square Enix as a whole? I ask because this would be an excellent opportunity for GOG to branch out to emulated games from other platforms with the old Final Fantasy games, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story.

Kyojinmaru: It was time to bring Deus Ex, is a basic game in an old games library.

Omikron release will be a mess, it has the same problems as Dungeon Keeper, remember this, guys.
What kind of problems?

Thank you GOG and Square Enix for making this partnership a reality. I already own Deus Ex GOTY via Steam, but I hate using Steam and I am more than happy to buy this game DRM-Free for $9.99.

I also want to see Final Fantasy VII offered through GOG. I have a copy of the PC version and would easily be willing to pay $9.99 for a copy that works on Windows 7. Square Enix please release FFVII on GOG and it would be extra awesome if it included the OST.

Probably won't happen, as emulating those games needs a PSX bios, which is still copyrighted by Sony, and they won't license any of their ROM stuff for sure. Same goes for Nintendo... :(

You don't. Don't panic - there will be enough people buying this for the first time.
