Mmmm, after their last year disapointements, LucasArt finally decides to do something right. Are they saying "We're sorry for 2008"?
Monkey Island Returns With New Series, Remake
- Thread starter Keane Ng
- Start date
You know, I never really tought about it before, but just about everything Telltale Games has made does rely pretty heavly on a certain niche audience.harhol said:
Sam & Max (as well as the upcoming Monkey Island) series is talor made for old school 90s adventure game fans.
Their short lived Bone series propably only interested fans of the comic book.
Wallice and Gromit had their days in the 90s (I think). Well, except for that one movie. Not a bad movie, mind you.
And Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has a very spesific core audience. Namely the fans of a very spesific internet animation series. Also from the 90s.
You should propably check out the Telltale Games site for their other games. For better or worse, these guys are very consistant when it comes to the engine technology. So, there's lots of demos out the for one to try the games with and even a full fouth episode of the first Sam & Max series available for free.Svenparty said:
My 5 years old piece of junk computer can run these games with only minimal troubles, so I'd say the bar is relatively low when it comes to technical requirements.
The whole Phoenix Wright series is an adventure game, if you've bever played them before.harhol said:
Suddenly there's a lot more Schaffer around here.
I welcome the return of Monkey Island, but I don't trust it in the hands of Lucasarts anymore. Everyone there who had adventure game talents abandoned the company and now reside with better developers like Double Fine and Telltale Games. If one of those guys were making this, I'd be excited. Considering Lucasarts has failed to make a decent game by themselves in the last decade, I don't hold up much hope for this.
This news actually made me sign up to the escapist after what must be a good year. Just to comment on how totally awesome this. (However, I got lost, commented on three threads, and then arrived here, my original destination)
Ah yes, I HAD that apprehension, but it LOOKS like they're just updating the graphics and adding voice acting, NOT changing the dialogue or adding new and improved "it was always meant to be like this!" scenes.Doug said:
I remain cautiously optimistic that they won't add in Rodians doing pop songs.
Well, at least Lucasarts realized they've lost the magical touch that let them make good games and let Telltale do it for them. If they're involved, I'm hopeful.
Sorry to Necrothread but I only just found out and, if you'll pardon the phrase, I just creamed myself in excitement.
It seemed on the LA page that you can switch back to the original graphics. Kinda nice.
Though they mentioned some hint system which I hope to Xenu I can avoid or turn off or something. Also they mention something about a new intuitive gameplay that lets you interact. Because the original didn't let me interact?
As for the TellTale games, well, I hope they are good, but I'm not so happy for the visuals, to be honest. Still have scars from Escape.

Joins in...why do they need new voice actors guybrush was great in Escape....loved escape, even buying cannons from a greasy little kid was a joy and don't get me started on verbal swahbuckling...now if only real fights could be resolved in such a genteel manner.nilcypher said:
