A new publisher is joining GOG.com

Damn I love the old Fallout titles. I own the physical copies of Fallout, Fallout 2 and Tactics. I own them all on GOG as well, and I stopped myself from buying them on Steam as well when they were on special.

I recently started replaying F2 again, because why the hell not

I still need to finish Fallout 1. Despite never actually doing so, I think Fallout 1 had the better story of the two. Fallout 2 sometimes took the wackiness just a step too far.

Both brilliant games, though. Some of the finest Western RPGs ever made.

Yeah, Interplay gave them away as a kind of FU to Bethesda because they were losing the rights to distribute the games. IIRC there was a lawsuit too because Interplay were trying to make a new Fallout MMO, and Bethesda wanted it cancelled, along with Interplay's rights to sell the older games.

The new versions on GOG are apparently different, with some high resolution patches added in by default.

Thats great, even though there are some nice mods to enhance the visuals, its nice that they giving the game the proper GOG treatment.

Not a new publisher, but an enhanced ed of System Shock @ GOG.

System Shock: Enhanced Edition now comes with official support for resolutions up to 1024x768 (compared to the original 640x480), and a native 854x480 widescreen mode. Gameplay is streamlined with a toggleable mouselook mode, including more intuitive inventory and item management. Combined with assorted bug-fixes and remappable controls, System Shock is now truly enhanced. Still, some gaming experiences are truly worth preserving, so you can also return to the authentic 90's gameplay with System Shock: Classic - ready for modern systems, completely unaltered in all other aspects, and available in both the CD and Floppy editions!

Reset the system in System Shock - Enhanced Edition and Classic available in a single package, with a 40% discount for all System Shock 2 owners on GOG.com - and 20% off for everyone else. The discounted offer will last until Tuesday, September 29, 6:59 AM GMT.
