Kratos, one of the highest-profile PlayStation characters, brawls his way into new territory: the PC. With his son by his side, an older, reflective Kratos ventures into the Norse realms to spread his deceased wife's ashes and honor her last wish. Naturally, the god slayer encounters a new pantheon, and must return to bloody combat. This PC version doesn't add much to the base console game, but it includes many, useful graphics options.

Sony is so much more than a sad-dad factory. If you're looking for a Sony action game that doesn't feature God of War or The Last of Us Part I's weighty narratives, download Sackboy: A Big Adventure. This excellent, 3D platformer is plump with just about everything you want from a hop-and-bop title: Simple controls, fun multiplayer, cool level design, beautiful graphics, and a catchy soundtrack. If you're hungry for a fresh platformer, check out this must-play PC game.
Also worth mentioning is that although The CRPG Book Project doesn't have any news since the release of the expanded edition in February, the downloadable PDF seems to have gone through a few minor versions. It is now at version 3.2b, compared to the 3.1c version I downloaded in February. Although there is no information about what has changed, you might want to grab the latest version of the book.
In this update, Felipe Pepe shares some information about the success the book had in terms of downloads, sales and money raised for charity. He also mentions the goals for an updated version of the book that is currently in progress - it will feature games up to 2019, add a few new sections, and fix some issues with the original release.
About a week ago, Yulo Tomorrow released The Bread Gate, a parody of the bread-baking job in Ultima 7: The Black Gate. In this game, made with Unity 3D, you have to frantically bake loaves of bread to both prevent Iolo from starving and make enough extra money to buy a candelabra. You can play the game online or download it.
Please download and install the Ultima Online Gold Client zip file, and edit your Login.cfg file to include LoginServer=76.97.222.251,2593. You will also need the UO Razor utility for the client encryption. (I defintely recommend the 3D client for the higher resolution and screen size, and have also reconfigured for less bugs. Please submit as needed.)
Also, I was contacted by the author of the Ultima 5 Civilization 2 scenario, who is now hosting the screenshots and download himself after the download link in the original forum thread stopped working. I've added the new link to the U5 info page, and added a WebDB2 entry for this project.
Although the old Ultima Web Directory was migrated to the current Ultima Web Database 2 (WebDB2) in 2014, a few info pages still remained. The last of these include my old Exult review from 2003, a list of Exult mods, a page about Ultima 5 for TI Calculators, a page about Ultima V: Lazarus (featuring "talking points" and old download links), and a page about the Ultima V: Lazarus v. 1.1 patch. Although these pages are obsolete, I've salvaged them for their historical value, and made some minor fixes. What remained of the old Ultima Web Directory itself has been retired.
That's why we decided to release one last version of Exult, Exult Studio and Exult's tools for the old OS' before moving on with development. For really old Windows operating systems (95/98/ME/NT/2000) we prepared a legacy download.
Nowadays, Ultima 4 can be downloaded for free on GOG.com, but that was not always the case. Long before this came to pass, the game was offered for free on several of the older Ultima Dragon websites. This is considered legal because of permission that Origin gave to UDIC in the 90s.
I used to have a list of these downloads (about 12 of them, at the time) in my Ultima 4 info page, but I took this down when Ultima Forever was announced in 2011, and EA started offering Ultima 4 downloads itself. Since Ultima Forever is now long gone, I've added a new Obtaining Ultima 4 section in there with links to GOG.com and UDIC downloads of Ultima 4. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, only a couple of the original Dragon-hosted downloads of Ultima 4 still survive today.
Finally, the CRPG Book Project has entered into an agreement involving publication of a hardcover print version of the book, and has removed the download for the time being until the printed book is finished:
Today, I have released the first demo since the reboot. You can grab it from the downloads page. Just configure the path to your original Ultima 1 folder (instructions are on the homepage) and you're good to go. You can roam around Sosaria, use Inform and Search ('I' key) to identify locations, toggle full screen (F10), and cycle through different means of transport (square bracket keys).
Back in September, Classic Ultima Online (formerly Ultima 4 Multiplayer) was re-released for the 30th anniversary of Ultima 4. The website was updated today with some new info and a downloader for the game client. From the website's latest news:
Classic Ultima Online is once again available to play, thanks to server hosting by David Baity of www.megawars.net. Please visit the download page for the RUM Portal utility used to download, update, and launch the game.The CUO client requires an official installation of Ultima IV Quest of the Avatar, so be sure to get your free copy from gog.com.
Sergorn Dragon reports progress in the reconstruction of his site, La Legende d' Ultima. He is hard at work at rebuilding the site, and has restored the info pages. Although galleries, downloads, etc are still missing, he will be adding them in the coming weeks. Sergorn might be known among newer Ultima fans for his more recent efforts Return to the Serpent Isle and Ultima Adventures, but others know that his information site La Legende d' Ultima has been one of the main sources of Ultima information since its launch in 1998.
It's official... the big news of pretty much the century became known to the Ultima community yesterday. EA is making several of its good old titles available via gog.com, starting with Wing Commander: Privateer, Dungeon Keeper and Ultima Underworld 1+2 in anticipation of "more than 25" other titles. GOG even went down for a bit due to heavy traffic at launch time. In addition to this, an official Ultima Forever website has been launched, offering a free download of Ultima 4. Let's just say that... I never thought I'd live to see this day.
News at Exult explains what has been going on since the release of version 1.4.9 RC1. The Exult team is experiencing difficulties fixing a bug that is causing random objects to disappear and Exult to crash completely. However, many other bugs have been fixed by their new team member, Malignant Manor. They have also made an all-in-one audio package available for download.
Aside from posting the Return news above, Withstand the Fury Dragon at Aiera has restored downloads for IRE, and also wrote (and posted a video) about how he got caught up in a hurricane while he was away for a wedding.

We have gotten it to the point where it is mostly stable; anyone who wishes to download a pre-release copy of it may do so from the Project Britannia wiki. Simply download the u6p_patch.dsres file and copy it to your Resources folder of your U6 installation. Please note that this is still pre-release and may still contain bugs. However, we would appreciate any help you can offer in making sure that the patch is solid; if you download the patch, we ask that you report problems in our forum at the Project Britannia website. Thanks to all of our fans who have been so supportive. We are truly honored by the positive response to date."
The websites of the Ultima 6 Project, Project Britannia and Ultima V - Lazarus are back online. This also means the U6P forums are working as well. Check out the release page to download U6P from one of the mirrors.
The Ultima 6 Project has been slashdotted. That means they got press from what is probably the busiest tech news site on the web. While this is great for exposure, it also means that you get gargantuan amounts of bandwidth used in a short period of time, which pretty much kills your site. As a result it appears that the Ultima V: Lazarus, Ultima VI: Project and Project Britannia websites are down. I've heard from one of the members of the U6P team who said they are trying to get it back up and running, and also provided a list of mirrors from where people can download the U6P 1.0 release:
In the latest update at Aiera, Withstand the Fury Dragon mentions that he will, over the coming few days, have time for some updates (including news and downloads). He's also looking for people to help out with posting news.
In my effort to secure the Ultima sites on Geocities, I also downloaded an old version of Dino's Ultima Page dating back to January 2003. You can see this old site at the Hosted Sites page. Eventually, once Geocities dies, I may also add more dead sites to this page.
Aiera has also lost a couple of Ultima Underworld downloads, and Withstand the Fury Dragon would like to know whether anyone has a copy of the missing files. Apart from these missing files, the rest of the Ultima Underworld downloads have been restored.
In other news, Withstand the Fury Dragon at Aiera has posted about some video card problems he's been having (which have now been fixed) and said that downloads should continue to be updated next week (but this is dependent on how busy life will be).
Aiera was updated three times yesterday. The first two updates are about the U6P M6 release and the interview with Richard Garriott at Crispy Gamer. The third says that Ultima 2 downloads at Aiera have been restored, and asks for some feedback about Aiera's site management and downloads.
tedreedy working to create Enhanced Sountrack for Ultima VII has released 3 new enhanced music tracks. The new tracks are Stones (enhanced), The Kilrathi and Sir Dupre's Sacrifice and can be downloaded from his site. Comments and suggestion can be posted at Exult Forum 2ff7e9595c
