June 1, 200916 yr http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland Unbelievably excellent news! Prepare to meet your frosty carbonated Maker, LeChuck! "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
June 1, 200916 yr I hope they get it right and we're not given another EMI - disappointing, not crap, but not a gem like the others. Anyway, at this point any MI beats no MI. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
June 2, 200916 yr *Holds head in hands* DOOMED WE IS DOOMED *CRIES* I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
June 2, 200916 yr Cool, the art style doesn't really fit MI all that well, though... Can't we get the hand-drawn Curse of Monkey Island style? At the end of the day, it's all about the humor, so there is hope.
June 2, 200916 yr Concept art looks a lot better than the renders. A line drawing has soul, this just looks like a weak toy story imitation. Only exception I can think of is the top of my head is Wall-E. Yes I know this is not a feature film so the complaint is beside the point, but still. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
June 2, 200916 yr I loved the original two, but after that, when the series went for a cartoonish look and featured voiceovers with modern American accents, it was kinda like seeing the movie version of a book, and the characters looked and sounded nothing like you imagined them. I'll probably end up getting the remake on Xbox Live.
June 2, 200916 yr Truth be told the first two didn't have more then two pixels between them to flesh out the characters, but the surroundings and the music were great. So were the text based duels. Never played the later ones. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
June 2, 200916 yr Truth be told the first two didn't have more then two pixels between them to flesh out the characters Apparently the remake allows you to switch between old and new graphics at will, which is nice. Edited June 2, 200916 yr by Hell Kitty

June 2, 200916 yr A Monkey Island without puffy sleeves is a Monkey Island in name only. More remake pics here: http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=63053 Edited June 2, 200916 yr by Hell Kitty
June 2, 200916 yr Guybrush looks retarded. I think mentally handicapped is a more polite term. This is awesome. Telltale did a great job with Sam & Max, and I trust them implicitly with this franchise.
June 2, 200916 yr This isn't how I remember the Monkey Island games "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
June 2, 200916 yr Yea I don't like these new models. bleh. For those that loved the original game there is Secret of Monkey Isle ported to the XBox Arcade... it features the original graphics with an updated interface. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/monkeyisland/ The above has a trailer with some interviews as well as the new interface etc... yay!

June 2, 200916 yr its not exactly a port. The graphics have been updated, new backgrounds and character models, but built on the old engine so other than graphics and updated sound and voice acting is the same game The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
June 4, 200916 yr /me eats Hell Kitty for dissing Dominic Armato. There's no Guybrush without his voice, not anymore. The remake looks terrible, but if get to play original( vell mkII version :D) graphics talkie do.ob The MI5 looks decent enough though. Even the goatee Edited June 4, 200916 yr by Majek 1.13 killed off Ja2.
June 5, 200916 yr I've seen a lot of negative feedback to both the re-release as well as the new game and to be honest, they are undeserved. Both projects have been blessed by the holy hand of Ron Gilbert, and directed by Dave Grossman, also of Monkey Island fame. I can't wait to get my filthy hands on these new episodes.
June 5, 200916 yr Most people are complaining about the art design and the criticism is pretty spot on IMO. It won't make or break the game, but it would be nice if Guybrush actually looked like he did in any of the previous games.
June 12, 200916 yr Most people are complaining about the art design and the criticism is pretty spot on IMO. It won't make or break the game, but it would be nice if Guybrush actually looked like he did in any of the previous games. Why? He looked differently in each of the them 1.13 killed off Ja2.
June 12, 200916 yr Oh poop, this is episodic. Why?! I want to play a full story from A-Z, not just a bunch of loosely connected shennanigans. And Guybrush looks like a grunge singer with aids. And I would asume the reason why it isnt classic 2D is because that would require them to hire oldschool 2D animators, which are very rare and expensive. Not to say that proper 3D animation isnt ridicilously complex and hard, because it is.

June 12, 200916 yr Well you can wait till it's finished and you play all the eps at once. I see no problem there. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
