Malcador Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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.

Hell Kitty Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) 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.

Hurlshort Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshugger Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaesun Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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!

Oerwinde Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 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.

Majek Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) /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.

Vilhelm Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 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.

Purkake Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) 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.
