Grim Fandango Remastered |OT| The Excelsior Line Edition

Also, quoting again from the other thread so people can stop worrying:

UPDATE

I escalated further and have been told it was a mistake. The game will be available at 12am EST tonight for everyone and all who purchase will get the theme as well.

There is a possibility it may show up for preorder again if they can fix it soon.

Gave me $5 store credit too.

So there you have it, even if you didn't preorder in time you still can play tonight AND get the theme. And preloaders may have to redownload anyway (lol) so everyone wins (sort of)!

Wait, just noticed my ps4 has over day left on the countdown... Do I need to delete it and redownload? North America releases at midnight right?

So who's gonna brave the tank controls? :D

I think I might. I replayed Grim Fandango for the first time in ages about a year or so ago and went keyboard-only (despite the fact that an excellent point-and-click mod exists for PC) and it was fine!

You apparently have to brave them to get the platinum trophy on ps4/vita. :|
 
Also, it may be a good idea to put those preloading issue instructions in the OP:

Grim Fandango Pre-order Issue

Hello,

For those of you who pre-ordered Grim Fandango Remastered and have already pre-loaded the game, you may need to re-download the game in order to play it.

Here's how:

Re-download steps for pre-order users
Return to the PS4 store and purchase the free version of the game (this SKU will only be visible to pre-order users at around 9pm PST.) Purchase the SKU only, do not re-download at this point.
Restore PS4 licenses. [Settings] > [PSN] > [Restore License]. If this doesn't solve the issue continue to step 3.
Go to Library, highlight Grim Fandango and press Options.
Delete Game Content.
While still in the Library highlight Grim Fandango and press X to re-download the content.
Restore licenses again.

Hope this helps,
- MV

Pls post pic of dynamic theme when available. So I can weep that my lazy ass couldn't get the preorder in on time. Haha

I know. It's perhaps one of the most wonderful trophies/achievements to ever exist.

Now people who deeply yearn to platinum every game will feel forced to play with a control scheme that they're completely uncomfortable with!

Hahahaha!

lol tim schafer troll face
 
I hope the game works without me redownloading it all over again but anyways, if it did or didn't I'll be playing it later in the day. Can't wait though! Been a long time.

Now I realize why just a trophy thread gathers so much response. I have this very wide grin now.

I preordered this game way back in mid-1998, can't wait to play it*

*For the 10th time!

My first inclination is to buy this game from GOG, but it'd be sort of cool to play on Vita as well. What would be the better place to get Grim Fandango?

I...uh really? That's...big.
Gotta delete stuff from my Vita again @_@
 
Also I just want to remind everyone, because it seems every game release goes through the same thing:

The game won't necessarily show up on your PS Store right on time. It can take up to 30 minutes for it to be available to you, depending on where you're located.

Most people find that the web store is faster to update than the one on your console, so try refreshing that if you're waiting to buy the game, then just download to your PS4.

So if it's 12:05 ET and you don't see it for sale yet, don't panic. Check back every 5-10 mins.

Ground Zeroes unlocked at 12:00 ET but I couldn't buy it from the store until 12:40.

With all this shit about redownloading my preloaded copy im gonna be pissed
 
i don't remember anything about this game but I'm ready to play it again. I had to wait til today to preorder but I couldn't. Hopefully I will be able to purchase at midnight but I probably won't be able to play until tomorrow since my internet is so slow.

I'm going 100% tank for my first playthrough. Manny's run speed is nice and fast and his turning radius isn't that bad. That there are no time-sensitive puzzles means the controls won't really get in your way, either.
 
5 minutes!!!

I really hope everything works our for those who have preloaded, with no need to redownload, and for those who missed on the preorder due to the error I hope we all get the theme as told.
