Separate page for old version of World of Goo?

I have an old physical copy of World of Goo and as far as I know there's no official way to update it to the new 2019 version. I was wondering if it should get its own page in the same way Sonic Adventure has three separate pages for its different versions. There's conflicting information between versions and it would get messy quickly trying to add notes everywhere.

I think it makes sense if the versions are significantly different. If there's not a clean way to integrate info on the two versions into a single article, feel free to create a new one.

The WoG 2019 update changes a few of the system requirements, user configuration, and save game file.

  1. System requirements
    • Windows, 64bit required for most releases (except steam)
    • Mac OS X, 10.7+ 64bit only
    • Linux GLIBC 2.15+ (any linux system in the past 5 years)
  2. Graphics requuirements
    • All 3 desktop platforms use OpenGL 2.1+ now as the utilize framebuffers and shaders.
  3. User configuration is now "config.user.txt"
    • This will be copied over automatically from the game install directory on first launch. All defaults are handled in the game binary itself the config simply allows you to override things (which there are a lot more knobs to fiddle with)
  4. Save game file
    • Save game file is now named pers3.dat and is no longer encrypted (the game will migrate the encrypted save over)
  5. game assets are no longer encrypted.
  6. game install size is now 198MB instead of 70MB. (all assets were doubled in size)
  7. game now auto-detects language by default (on all desktop platforms!)
    • Can still be overridden in the config.user.txt
  8. Manymouse support has been dropped.
  9. Game uses SDL2 + SDL2_mixer on all desktop platforms!


I know all this as I'm the one who did the 2019 refresh.

The "widescreen" hacks are no longer needed.. AS the game now uses fullscreen desktop for Fullscreen mode and internally uses (by default) a 1600x900 render target (FBO) that is upscaled.

The game also remembers the last 'fullscreen' mode when you quit the game. And there is no config setting for fullscreen any longer.

Lanuages.

There is no Hungarian translation any longer. There are

  • English
  • German
  • French
  • Italian
  • Korean
  • Spanish
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Japanese
  • Polish
  • Dutch
