I was ready to throw down some more money for all the work they did to restore these games, but then it looks like GoG automatically gifted me these anniversary editions for all of the games that I already owned.
EA didn’t do that, GOG did right? Sure EA may have collaborated but they didn’t do the work.
I’ve never seen GOG improvements to a game also get added to the Steam version. Has that happened before on other games? I heard the Steam versions also get the improvements, as well as integrated community improvements as well.
First time for everything. When GOG announced these upgrades they also said this was the first step toward their publisher efforts. It sounds like they’re starting up a publishing arm using these games as their first release. So in that context, yes it makes sense that they would release these on other platforms.
The showcase even stated that GOG worked with modders and other developers to get this work done. Plus, GOG had been doing this type of work for a while now with their preservation program.
Right after the news of BioWare’s death. Hmm looks like a PR move to me.
Bioware has barely released any descent games in over a decade. EA did not kill them.
Interplay released Descent…
…but Mass Effect 5 was their return to form! Didn’t you see the Trailer that alone was a result of 5 years work ! /s
I know you jest, but a lot of the original devs were back for that project and had they not been pulled for other recent EA projects, we might have had something substantial at this point.
Also, Andromeda devs kept getting pulled into Anthem, and Anthem devs were a group of RPG devs tasked with a new engine and forced to create an open world game within a studio not know for that. So, Andromeda failed because of Anthem, and Anthem failed because of the engine and lack of experience. Veilguard failed because the lessons of Inquisition were never learned.
Anyway, I’m sure EA will allow yet another set of remakes/remasters of Mass Effect once/if the next Gen of consoles are released.
Veilguard also had EA demand complete genre shifts twice in production. Immersive sim -> Live Service Co-op Action -> Singleplayer RPG. The final game was a ton of finished art and half-baked mechanics with a story tacked on at the last minute.
The only one I care about is Road Rash. The Wing Commander games have long been available on GOG already.
ULTIMA UNDERWORLDS? ?? Fuck yeah!
This was my introduction to RPGs. No idea how it will feel to play now, but definitely need to give it a try just for the nostalgia.
I only learned of them in detail recently from Majuulars retrospectives. I played a fair amount of underworld and it was great. The movement feels very organic. It was way ahead if it’s time.
Wonder if they require the EA launcher
All the ones I could see on ea’s website made it to GOG, which I don’t think allows launchers tied to accounts, so it’s possible they don’t.

So they’re testing whether 7 movie players get downloaded or 1 actually game? Is this AB testing?
Sadly I owned Wing Commander back in the day. I must have played it for at least an hour all up.
