" I never could understand how Gabriel Knight didn't translate to the big screen. Even the small screen would be great. He is such a good an interesting character." And how fabulous could a film trilogy of Gabriel Knight prove to be ?? As good as the Indiana Jones series, in my opinion !!

Well, a lot would, of course, depend on who got to direct the films, which actors played the vital roles and no doubt many other factors besides !! So there's no guarantee we would get the interpretation WE might want The Indiana Jones films were always advertised as "full on action" so no misconceptions there - and given that they were smash hits, a lot of people must have enjoyed them as just that [Plus, in fiction, especially modern fiction, people do seem to jump into bed with each other after the flimsiest of introductions !!  ]

For all of you who are anticipating the remake of GK1, here's Jane Jensen on why there's a resurrgence of Adventure Games. It includes some shots of the anniversary edition that aren't in the trailer. Gil.

Thanks BrownEyedTigre for the links - it's looking good! So, it doesn't bother anyone that Gabe looks so sweet and girlish and 'flat' in the remake? Yes, I do agree traveler that Gabe looks too sweet and girlish & am surprised at him not being portrayed as more rugged but..... It also interested me that there are no voices in that very brief trailer. The developers must be expecting some blow back from the new voices; I can't think of another reason not to at least let us hear Gabe. ....I've just read recently that the voice actor for Gabe is a great fan of the series & has managed to emulate Tim curry's voice well enough to hardly tell the difference. If that's true then the combination of that with Gabe's appearance could work in the game & possibly be very appealing? Also Gabe will still retain his original personality. I'm always too critical, you may think, but I thoroughly enjoyed GK1 with it's messy, masculine, self-absorbed Gabe and I didn't and don't understand the need for a remake of an excellent game. GK4 would be more to the point. I completely disagree - although the graphics were probably very good for the time I think such an excellent game deserves a lot better now it's possible! I had to play the original in windowed mode & even then the game was very pixellated. I have read that if the game is successful there are no plans to remake either GK2 or GK3 but a GK4 is on the agenda!
