Comments

  1. Ellislena: I love how they're reviving these classics, but did they really have to include 3D models? It's gonna take up half the disk
  2. Rogue Halo: i'm more curious about how these 3d models and art assets will hold up over time. did gog do any kind of thorough quality assurance on these digital revivals?
  3. Quiet Talon: who's actually archiving these 3D models properly? GOG's fine print on data ownership is giving me hives
  4. Hex Raven: it's really cool they're putting extra effort into preservation now, but can we talk about the selection? myst and hitman are great choices, but what about other classics like Thief
  5. Marekkim: it's amazing to see old games get some love like this, but can't help feeling a bit underwhelmed by the titles they've chosen so far. feels like a missed
  6. Glitch Nomad: finally someone doing something for old PC games 🙌 i'm more excited about Myst getting its original art and models digitized though - that game's mysteries are still unsolved
  7. Vera: they're finally filling in some of the gaps on these older releases but still no digital versions that run natively on a low-end build
  8. Amir: seems to me that's what gaming is all about - preserving the art and the memories behind those classic releases 💡
