Good Old Games Interview

The partnership between Good Old Games and Activision seems to have spurred some new interest in the service, as another interview with CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwinski has made its way online over at Big Download. There’s even a question or two about The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings:

What other features can we expect to be added to GoG.com in the future?

I already mentioned about our continuously growing catalog and new price points to offer even better value for money. We are also constantly working on new additional content both for the new titles, but also for the ones we’ve already have on GOG.com for some time. Whenever we find some cool stuff we always try to put it up and add to the featured materials, be it an additional soundtrack, a set of wallpapers or a game guide.

We are also constantly working on the speed of downloads. We have made some big changes recently, so there should be significant increases. It does depend on the user’s net connection, but if you have a fast one, getting games from GOG.com should go ultra fast now.

What should be more interesting for European users is our plan to add new language versions of games. Right now we have all games available in English, but we will be adding new language versions.

From the functionality side we are planning a major update of the whole site for Q1, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if I’d list all the changes here. Let’s leave it shrouded in mystery believe me, there will be a lot happening on GOG.com in 2010. Yes, I am biased.

What’s the current status of The Witcher 2 and its search for a publisher?

Witcher 2? Hmmm …. Are we working on such game? 😉 Hehehe … It wasn’t officially announced, but as the leaked video on YouTube was seen by over 600k people, I can’t even pretend it’s a secret. The production is going really well and we should have quite a few important announcements this March. We are preparing a proper launch backed up with a lot of materials and we should be able to talk about our publishing partners, as well. The game should be absolutely amazing.
