The big day is approaching and everyone is counting hours, minutes and seconds when the GOG staff members will appear in the spotlight! Believe us, we're all excited about this as well, but first things first. Let us give you some details, so everyone knows who, what, where and when.

Who? All of you, our dear users, are invited to watch the live streaming of the CDP Days 2011 Spring Conference.
What? The live streaming will include presentations by CD Projekt RED with their awesome game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and GOG.com revealing some cool stuff. Both presentations will be in English.
Where? You'll be able to watch both presentations on GOG.com. On Thursday we'll put up a news post with a live stream video window embedded in it for your convenience.
When? The live streaming of CD Projekt RED presentation will start on Thursday, April 14 at 12:00 p.m. EST (that's 4:00 p.m. GMT - that's 9:00 a.m. Los Angeles time, 12:00 p.m. New York, 5:00 p.m. London time or 6:00 p.m. Warsaw time). GOG will hit the stage an hour later at 1:00 p.m. EST (5:00 p.m. GMT).

You may also notice some teaser spots on the front page. These will change during the next three days, so feel free to speculate what's it all about :). See you on Thursday!
In Ultima 5 you went to Underworld to save lord British. Also those Ultima Underworld games reference that word.
If we're sticking with the origin theme, then riding with outlaws could be Autoduel. It's not a western theme though

vorob: What game made you go the underworld?


Certainly its Ultima Underworld 1 and 2.

StingingVelvet: I think the main thing stopping me from conceding that possibility is that Grim Fandango is a very viable alternative to that, while the Outlaws hint has no real alternative anyone has thought of other than Outlaws of Full Throttle.
i really hope it's outlaws ; my first mp gaming experience ...

Delixe: You know there is always a possiblilty it's Lucasarts AND EA.

It's extremely unlikely but nevertheless it is possible. The number 1 and number 2 most wanted publishers.
If this were the case, game set match for GOG... and my head would explode...

if so, GOG really should renew the old "Tuesday + Thursday release" policy :)
All right, SPACE and UNDERWORLD?

Could it be "The Dig" by LucasArts then?

You went to outer space to another Planet called Cocytus which is also the name of one of the five rivers in the underworld in Greek mythology and also the ninth circle of hell in Dante's Divine Comedy.

Just to throw this out there:

In Ultima V, the Avatar and his crew are declared outlaws...

Not sure if I buy that it's the holy grail of EA, but yeah...

unacomn: My heart skipped a beat for a second, at the thought that it could be Ultima Underworld. But Grim Fandango makes more sense.
Or Afterlife.
As long as it is either LA, EA, Zenimax, THQ or Eidos, I'll jump for joy :)
"Underworld" huh? Well, since so many people were guessing Lucasarts before, the first thing I think of when I think "Underworld" is Grim Fandango.
The only thing connecting EA at the moment is Underworld and the fairly compelling image that is startlingly close to the cover art of Ultima Underworld II. That's still the only actual link to EA though.
Is the blurry image supposed to be a clue at all or is it a placeholder?
It's Diablo
For Origin:

Well, the underworld could be Ultima Underworld I&II.

The past could be Bioforge or Crusader.

The star could be Wing Commander/Privateer.

For Blizzard:

The star could be Starcraft.

The underworld could be Diablo.

The past, I don't know.

For Lucas Art:

The star could be most of their games.

The past could be KOTOR II.

And the underworld, I have no idea.

I'm going on a limb here and assuming the 3 clues pertain to 3 different games from the same company which they don't have titles from.
