Not sure, but I think this also appeared at the end of the original Monkey Island… because Ron planned three MI-games right from the start.
yeah it was in the original game, i dont think we should read too much into this. But MI:SE is topping the bestsellers list on steam and if it stays that way for a bit, I'm sure we'll see more remakes
I don't remember it either... I remember the "turn off your computer and go to sleep" message...
By the looks of it, without specific figures, LA is making a killing from a relatively small project. They'd probably drop only a few sales if they bumped an extra £5/$5 to the price, and they'll know this now with SoMILRSE.
In fact, to be honest, the only reason I could think of for having a semi-new game at such a cheap price, apart from lack of actual CD etc. Is that they're looking to generate maximum sales and interest so they can invigorate the product for extra adventures. In which case, it's a dead cert. That Guybrush will return
So we know what to do - Do not buy the SE from Steam.
One remake is bad enough.
I really didnt remember seeing that msg in the old game. I remember something about the dog, turning off your cmputer, going out to play. Man i feel really stupid now! I kinda was seeing like something new.
At the end of MI1 it's shown just one suggestion, and it's "turn off your computer and go to sleep", while at the end of MI2 a long list of suggestions is cycled, such as "go write your name in the snow", "go walk the dog", etc.
I have only played the disc version and I remember the guybrush will return message from that. I may be completely wrong, might have to do a run through just to check. Just finishing off my speed-run through MISE for the achievements so might leave that until tomorrow coz i really shouldnt complete the game 3times in 2 days!
Lechucks revenge has a long list of things starting with "now go do something more productive like... " it includes "Have a yelling contest with your neighbours dog" "alphabetise your sock drawer" etc etc.
What I made of the se line? Immediately I thought of TOMI, though it could possibly mean they're thinking of reskinning Lechuck's revenge as well.
yea my bad, no idea why i thought that.
wow thats actually quite exciting, what it could mean we'll have to wait and see. would love a mi2 remake just for the voices.
Well now my hopes are up again. Probably we can expect a 2nd special edition with Lechuck's Revenge. I would really really like it!
I don't consider it to be a mistake. It was a "special edition" not a full remake. It meant the animation suffered in places, but it kept it very true to the original, and being able to switch back and forth on the fly was brilliant, that wouldn't work with a total remake.
The art style is debatable, but personally I quite liked it, and I look forward to seeing LeChuck's Revenge being done in a similar way.
I'm so glad you said this. I keep hearing people referring to MI:SE as a 'remake' and it really isn't. A remake would have been something much closer to the drawing that Bill Tiller made, showing what the Scumm Bar might have looked like, had a remake happened.
There's a reason this title is called 'Special Edition' because it's a tarted up version of the original Monkey Island (rather like Maniac Mansion becoming Maniac Mansion Deluxe).
By the way, I don't think I've posted on this forum before (despite being a Tell-Tale fan since the days of Bone), so.. hello all!
i too liked most of the art style... but the new style of lechuck and hair of guybrush could be better... lechucks looks more like a glowing human with floating hair than the evil ghostpirate he is supposed to be
Yeah, especially with the amount of money they are making. It's so weird, it's like LucasArts was like "Man, we're losing money...wait a minute! We're sitting on a gold mine right here!"
That's not weird. It's LucasArts.
Dude. your annoying. no one cares what haters think.
People are going to buy this AMAZING game no matter what you say.
I think - or hope at least - the message at the end means there will be a LCR SE, too.
The enhanced CD-ROM version of SMI had the same interface as MI2, with nine verbs and picture-based inventory. All versions of SMI - besides SMI:SE, of course - ends with the "turn off your computer and go to sleep" message, though.
But even by todays standards I think that games art style beats probably about 80% of todays games market. Easily!
I am hoping for "Special Editions" of all the classics.
And Telltale are going to be doing some very interesting stuff. That goes without saying
Well the interviews you can find on the net speak a lot for themselves. This guy came from EA and he only knew as business model to milk franchises which EA successfully did at that time.
He went for a low risk strategy, the problem with this is, that if you do that this wears thin after a few years, Star Wars held longer than I expected especially if you turn out games in mass production milking it over and over again.
I feel so alone.
-Do you really need a special edition of LeChuck Revenge and all the calssics?
-Dont you love them just the way they are in all their vintage and pixelated glory?
-Wouldnt it be much better to encourage LucasArts to make new adventures instead of doing new "Special Editions"?
-Are you happy when hollywood makes remake after remake of classic movies?
-Would you be thrilled if George Lucas decides to make a "Special Edition" of Raiders Of The Lost Ark with improved special effects?
-Would you encourage him to make the same with the rest of the movies?
