Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Why? If they put the old game up on GoG it would probably cost about the same and would still have the shitty control of the original.

What were you honestly expecting for $15?
Also I'm with idlethumbs that this is the perfect way to preserve a classic. Redoing all of it sullies its legacy and the beautiful art-style that still stood the test of time.
you should compare original to remaster. it's a good remaster especially since people can play it on consoles. also, no tank controls.

its worth 15 dollars just for a copy of a great game
getting it to run on something modern is a godsend as well

I think the commentary kinda sucks.

Did you see that terrible thread in Gaming about how shitty of a remaster this was? It might be one of the most absurd threads ever made.
They added a whole new lighting system, full orchestral soundtrack, commentary, slapped some higher-res textures and polys to the characters, made the game less of a headache for compatibility on the PC, etc.
The only thing i would say that i would've liked from the remaster is a built-in hint system. Loved that system from the MI1 & MI2 remakes and that's the only thing i think they missed out on with the remaster. Otherwise, yeah, it's a great effort at an affordable price.

that thread gave me an aneurysm
Oh yeah. My favourite part was the 4:3 complaints. So either they crop the frame like some shitty TV channel trying to fit old content to 16:9 screens or they create entirely new assets to fill the screen, which would be some Star Wars special edition nonsense.
Nah man, it was one of the best thread backfire ever lol
Edit: Also, yay for GB East's studio being up but they need to add in the youtube auto uploader in their pipeline workflow.
I don't have a problem with the price of Grim Fandango - I do think they over hyped it though.
If GOG had put it out, then I would likely pay for it - just for convenience - even though I still have the original discs in the loft somewhere.
However, they kinda hyped it like they would a full on remake rather than a tarted up "remaster". It is similar scale as that Monkey Island one was, although it is easier to see the work put in for a 2D game.
Also. Day of the Tentacle. Give it to me!
thx for the info

I'm officially disappointed Patrick left for Kotaku. At first i was alright, thinking whatever, I'll still see his work. But he doesn't seem to write much there, and if he does it gets instantly buried in their title wave of garbage. Such a shame.
I never played the original but I can see the benefit of it being basically the same game for the nostalgia and I didn't know they redid the soundtrack so I guess it is worth the price, I guess I'd just like something more like the Resident Evil remake if you're going to take the time to do it
pretty much all the reviews I've seen mention the lack of autosave and the confusing puzzles and how the gameplay aged pretty poorly

He seems to be producing just a bit more than he was at GB, and I have been enjoying his Q&As on youtube and he is going to start streaming Demon Souls and possibly Yakuza in the near future so I'm fine with his output so far.

If they completely remade the game and sold it for 30€ the very same people would probably say "What? Pay 30€ for an old game?! What the fuck Double Fine?".
omg
fuck this is amazing
omg
Wow!
Idk if i really call that "producing". It's mostly just links to other stuff.

I wonder if it eats him up inside to have to write headlines like that.

Oh, like the backlash that the Oddworld remake got?
yeah, seems like there's no winning with some folks. It's especially bad when people start blasting a game for not being "free" on ps+, as if they're entitled to every really great game released on PSN day one. Saw the same thing happen with Octodad and Transistor, it's real shitty and i'm happy those games had PC versions where people on that platform weren't too upset with the notion of paying for their games.
omg
i hope they use this omg
I slowly turned into Jim Halpert the amount of times I had to look away to deadpan stare into a nonexistant camera during that thread.

We're still waiting for Broken Age part deux from them. If they can't put out one complete adventure game i'm not sure I'd trust them with the burden of making a modestly budgeted sequel to one of the greatest PnC games ever.

the reason why part 2 is taking so long is so they can release Broken age the complete edition on the same day as part 2 for PS4+Vita
they should have clarified that fact earlier though
yea, kinda annoying but whatevs.

the problem is that DF can't self-fund any projects apparently, and even their attempts at early access have done poorly. GF2 would be relatively expensive to make from a DF standpoint (music, art, voice acting), and they'd probably have to price it more than people are willing to pay for an adventure game right now.
I just have a hard time seeing how an outside investor would find GF2 to be a smart move.

the fact that part 2 is a thing is really the issue here, not that it's taking so long.

I wouldn't mind a 2D Grim Fandango 2, I just love the world so much.
Yeah, watching the QL really reminded me of how much I loved that game back in the day. I need to pick up the remaster ASAP.
edit: If anyone's interested, here's part 1 of Dave Lang's podcast about his PAX South experience

I've enjoyed what I've heard so far too! Dan really is a genuinely humble and good guy. Danny too, of course!
Speaking of Greg Miller, I listened to a bit of their new podcast and was immediately reminded of why I had stopped listening to Podcast Beyond.
