gonna be a new episodic series + a revamp of the original. I ♥ Monkey Island. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"A revamp of The Secret of Monkey Island was also unveiled, updating the series's first title with fully redrawn graphics, re-mastered score and full voiceover" fuck off. is nothing sacred? just let shit be. fucking voice over my arse. |

can you tell hes a purist? |

I don't mind that they're doing a revamp, but for me the OG version will always be where it's at. I'm really exited about the new episodic series though! apparently one of the lead designers was one of the writers for the first two games. |

yeah, matt groening was funny 20 years ago too |
||||||||
|

|
|
I don't know that he was ever funny. He could just draw pretty well. |
||||||||
|

|
|
voice over definitely sounds like the sort of thing that could be shite but did the 3rd one not have voice acting? i can't remember=/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the third one did yeah. third one was great too IMO... even though I prefer the first two (2 was the best.) |

I have to agree, the original was very unique with just the text, leaves things to your imagination, playing a game is like being in a fantasy. But these days video games don't leave much for our minds to fill in the gaps... adventure games are better when they allow room for the player to project himself into the character as much as possible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well that's my theory anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
third one was fantastic, it's too bad they're going really sloppy on the graphical "update" of the old ones... should just remake it in the MI3 style instead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good news i reckon, certainly better than nothing |
||||||||

a REAL new Sam And Max in 2D would be awesome... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

agree with you larn, yet kids these days are too used to being overstimulated when it comes to audiovisual media - so to drop anywhere below this threshold requires a certain amount of imagination to compensate otherwise it's gonna be "boring". this remake will get kids into it, the updated graphics and a voiceover, who wouldn't otherwise play such an old game... i love monkey island and would have to say its my favourite game ever of ever |

by telltale games? i guess they're ok, but it just isn't lucasarts. *sighs* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

LucasArts hasn't been LucasArts in a long time either. They dropped the ball pretty hard on the 4th MI game. but like i mentioned one of lead designers of the first two is running these new episodes, which is awesome. |

episodic content sucks for anything more complex than a blog. Mark my words, you're going to get a bunch of hastily constructed, nearly identical "episodes" in quick succession, or one decent episode every 8 months. and guybrush is right, for once. I could see the logic behind them wanting to update the graphics to a more modern standard, but what was wrong with the voice acting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And if you think I'm just blowing hot air, telltale games are the jerks behind the Sam and Max episodes, which were fucking dreadfully unfunny. |

For the record MI 1 & 2 are my favourites of ever. 3 was pants 4 looked cack Grim fandago & DOTT were both ace Voice acting for the originals is dumb |
||||||||

I've pre-ordered the new episodic games already. Should be fun. The Monkey Island 1 remake doesn't sound that exciting, and the voice acting seems horrendous (even though it's the same guy who did the voice before, apparently). But one thing I enjoy about the new remake is the ability to switch in REAL TIME between the original and the remade graphics. They say it runs on the old engine, just with remade graphics, so that also explains their "conservatism" in keeping to the original structure of the game. As for Telltale, they are a talented bunch that consists largely of ex-Lucasarts employees. They were just the right people to remake Sam and Max, since that was their project at Lucasarts. I personally think the episodic sam and max games are the best point and click games to come out in the last five years, and I'm certainly not alone in that view. Apparently the Strong Bad games were good, too, although I never played them. Unfortunately, with the more recent Wallace and Gromit they simplified the game too much, or something went wrong. So I only hope that they pull no punches in the new Monkey Island games, and make it as old school as possible. |

lol! |

Maybe the voice acting wasn't great, it's been 10+ years since I've played MI. I stand by my statement that the sam and max episodes are terrible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The first MI didn't have voice acting, nor did the second game. They only brought in voice work in Monkey Island 3 and 4. |
||||||||
|

I know. I haven't played 3 since it came out in, what was it, 1998? |

just finished the first ep of Tales of Monkey Island. Overall it was pretty good-- also pretty short. Beat it in about 3 hours. I was only moderately stuck once, for about 15 or 20 minutes. Its no Monkey Island 2, but I'd say it's worth playing. |
