Currently playing the remake of TSOMI and enjoying it. I mustn't have completed it last time i had it because i don't recall half of it after i got the ship.

Tho f10 isn't working atm when im on the ship or on MI, maybe bug i dunno anyhow..

Do you think LA might consider remaking monkey island 2 and maybe more la adv games in the future? I would die from happiness if they would do Indy and fate of Atlantis remade in HD, OH YEAH BABY, i would love that as its my fav game ever. Er well for old adv games that is. Try lasting till the end playing it on the amiga with disk swaps of 11 floppy's constantly every 5-10 mins. Thats dedication lol.

So comments...

Have you seen This?

Yes i have read that.

I would think that this would answer your question since they themselves answered it:

Rather have a discussion between fans rather than unclear replies from devs.

But no one seems to like to talk to me in topics, i asked about experiences in Tex Murphy that was moved to hints when i don't want hints. Same with other Tex Murphy topics.

Am i not being clear in wanting to talk to you all about these things. Do you not care? What?

If I didn't care, I would not have tried to find an answer for you. Perhaps I interpret your questions incorrectly, my bad.

Ana

No problem. Least you replied.

Basically the OP reads. Ok MI is mint in its remake tho the controls are horrible been hidden its hard to do stuff with one hand using mouse when ur lazy i.e sick of the alt and ctrl taps to get the inventory and verbs, they should be showing always like original. sigh. Sry erm to the point. The thread yep mi remake is good, what do you want to see coming out as a remake from LA. Comments..

I only played the Monkey Island series. They are my favorite. I did not play the remake because I do not like the option to talk/hold etc that the old games had. I would like real modern versions of all of them actually, or just new ones like the episodic from Tell Tale. It's like playing with an old friend again.

Hi Skeeter -- my understanding is that the Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition sold well. I suspect that if it sold well enough, we'll see more Special Editions of their classic games, and that would be wonderful. LucasArts seems to have grasped (finally) that their classic adventure games still have market value.

I think it's taking awhile for adventure fans to get used to the idea that LucasArts will be responsive to them, since (frankly) they weren't for several years.

One spanner in the works is that (again, this is only my impression) Lucidity did not sell well. Even though it isn't an adventure game, it was their opening salvo in original non-Star Wars games. That may have set them back a bit from creating original properties.

Yeah i didnt understand Lucidity, it doesnt look like an appealing game at all. Hopefully the relaunch of MI will make them think about where the market lies and goes with proper adv games again. Do not want to see new titles that just dont appeal to me.


The news about them using characters from adv games in other games isnt true too much as it will s*ck to see guybrush in a fps lol or somit.

So sad to think that LucasArts might never again give us adventures as good as their great old classics

But do they still even have an "adventure" making team, since the majority of their games for years now have been other genres ??

And creating a totally new game must surely be much more cost intensive than revamping an already developed one - so would they take that financial risk with an adventure ??

Given the profits involved in developing action and strategy titles, it's hard to guess how far LucasArts would pursue the development of new adventure titles. I would think that the success of TOMI and Secret should convince them that there is a viable market out there for adventure games. LucasArts enjoys a unique position in the market due to their intellectual properties and history. I could be way off the mark, but I think that if the company did begin development on a new adventure title/franchise, the game in question would attract interest from players that don't normally play adventures, just by virtue of the fact that it was a LucasArts title. So I'm inclined to think that they are in a great position to make a successful new adventure game, were they to choose to do so.

Tho i just hope they dont rely on telltale games, as i hate the way their games are, like the remade mi, sam and max etc. Just dont look very nice at all visually or gameplay wise play very nice.

I hope they continue to put out new adventure games and remake the classics. I would love to see a new Grim Fandango or Zak McKracken. Maniac Mansion would be a good remake too.

Grim Fandango just needs a patch to make it able to force anti antilising to remove the jaggies. That would make me happy.

I really love the original Monkeys Island games so it felt a little blasphemous to play the Telltale Games version... still I did enjoy them and they have really tried to please the old fans The puzzles are quite nice in the 1st and 3rd episodes and although the graphics are simplified I think Telltale raised the bar compared to their Sam & Max. When you take into account that the whole series cost about 25€ in steam I really think it's worth getting! I did enjoy the Telltale version a lot more than the Lucasarts remake of Monkey Island I which was in my opinion obviously finished in a hurry.

All in all I think it would be great if the old Lucasarts games were revisited in some way. Loom, Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle left me wanting more

Hopefully future games won't have such high specs. I coudn't play the last one due to it requiring 3.0 proc. I have a 1.8 but it handles games that require 2.0 without a problem.

Regards,

Barry
