LucasArts Not Planning Monkey Island 2 Remake

[Xerosch]

I bet the game will suck. 3D graphics worked with Sam and Max, but I doubt they will with Monkey Island...

It didn't... *cough* *Escape from...* *cough*

[small]I liked it...[/small]

It wasn't THAT bad, but very disappointing for a Monkey Island game

one and two would benefit from remakes, 3 stills stands on its own, if anything the new episodic and 4 also need remakes back to glorious 2D. 3d in the monkey island games took away from some of the magic i found, whilst still a HUGE fan of the monkey island series i'm gonna pick up the remake and the episodic content.

That's probably going to change.

I mean, if it gains massive acclaim and sales, it's going to sell well. Then they'll remake them all, and get around to doing a point and click game with a brand new IP.

Hey, we can dream, can we?

I have never played a monkey island game oddly enough, but I love point and click games. So I for one will probably be buying this game because of all the solid reviews.

i wish they would just start making the series available again, you have to go through hell and back to get a copy of any of lucasart's classics, it's almost impossible to get a copy under $50 au on ebay

They're just waiting for the right time to cash in on the series.

They will change their mind once they realize this: before almost only Star Wars games they made interesting stuff that people haven't forgotten over the last 20 years.

*sigh* I would kill for a Loom remake

A sequel would be nice too. Supposdly two were planned, named Forge and Fold respectivly, but never got made.

I would have loved to see those.

This article is invalid now - they're remaking the sequel. Unfortunately, this article shows up as the top search result for "monkey island 2 remake" on google, so I hope this doesn't mislead people.

Anyway, find all you need to know at lucasarts dot com slash games slash monkeyisland2.

Arr!
