edited August 2011 in Tales of Monkey Island
the guybrush skin in the force unleashed 2 looked a lot like the Guybrush in curse of monkey island.is this hinting that they might make a curse of monkey island special edition with the same kind of look as the skin?

    I recall there being a thread about this already.

    But in my opinion, I think the Guybrush costume in Force Unleashed II was more fan-service then a hint towards a special edition, but hey, I could be wrong.

    Fan service eh? But why CMI? Why not MI2? Why not EMI? Why not TMI? Something isn't adding up.

    Oh, I get it!

    Guybrush will turn to the dark side.

    What's the point? The biggest addition to the Special Editions was that they had drawn graphics, and used the voice actors from Curse. Curse already HAS drawn graphics and the voice actors from Curse.

    The main point would be widescreen support and having it run properly in newer versions of Windows without the use of ScummVM. Also, a remake of Curse would use DirectX, which would make streaming the game so much easier.

    Id like to hear commentry on CMI like MI2 SE. Maybe from Bill Tiller and the writers or directors of CMI.

    If there will be a SE, I want the missing cutscenes.

    MI2:SE

    and then hopefully
    CMI:HD Extended version* :P

    *widescreen

    Of course, that would mean they would rescan and paint more on the backgrounds, and walkable areas and stuff. But still, that would be awesome. And higher quality on speech and music, maybe..

    Actually, when I think of it, I wouldn't mind paying full price for that.

    Oh, and Ron Gilbert's Monkey Island 3 would be more awesome...

    If they did include the missing cutscenes, I would want an option to turn them on or off. I'd probably play with them on once, just to see them, but I would mainly want to play a full widescreen version of the original game with more colors.

    Fixed. :p

    Took me some time to learn that Mickey is a she. :)

    But as for CMI, as I have said before, better resolution, better sound and music and the missing cutscenes. That is all the remake the game needs. :)

    Seriously, there needs to be a field for gender in our user info, this sort of thing happens way too often.

    I agree, as you may be able tell from my user title.

    Also: must we really have another thread about this? Can't we just revive one of the various other older threads about the same topic? Like this one, or perhaps this one here? I just feel like we're going over the exact same points as we have before.

    Hah, good point. It happens all the time, doesn't it? I find myself repeating the same points so often in separate threads. Actually, sometimes I repeat myself in the same thread, when some people are too lazy to look through previous pages to see whether or not someone has already posted the same question, query, theory, topic or statement before them before posting, thus triggering the same freaking conversation/discussion again...

    Yeah... there should be one, that's the beauty of the internet.


    Anyhow, we should have one of the CMI:SE threads as a sticky, or something of that sort. Or... was this brought up already in one of the many threads?

    No, I don't think it was, but yes, I agree with you - we should have one of them as a sticky. I would suggest the thread that Irishmile started (as that was the first one).

    I sure hope not. There's nothing wrong with the original version of the classic. There's nothing to add, it's a special game, it's aged beautifully. It was a terrific project that has proven to be timeless. Even if it is aging, it has proven to be a masterpiece in both art and production!

    LEAVE IT ALONE. Give us MI 6 if anything.

    lucasarts should remake escape and have Alexandra Boyd voice Elaine to fit the rest of the games.

    They should not only remake MI4. They should make it all over again.

    I don't see how CMI could be improved with a special edition. Also, you can turn your Indiana Jones into Guybrush in Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine :)

    Well, actually, there is room for improvement, as we have discussed over in this thread.

    I don't wanna come across as a control freak, but guys, can we please keep all discussion to the thread in the link, rather than have it spread across three threads?

    While it may be more work for CMI, they basically redrew everything for the first two SEs, so why not CMI?

    I really really hope they do this...While in a way the game has aged pretty well, the resolution is killing me...

    I said it once before and I will say it again. Curse of monkey island is great as it is, and it doesn't need to be remade. Do you really want to see updated versions of something that looks like it was updated? Heck no!

    If they make it like the first 2 SE's you can switch back so then everyone wins. Plus I want to play it on full screen agian.

    The key is a higher resolution and better compatibility. CMI looks great at the native resolution (640x480) - but no one works at anything close to that resolution anymore, and it looks pretty bad stretched out. It would be absolutely amazing to have CMI with high resolution graphics, higher quality audio (though this should really only happen for the music since the voices are good as they are), etc...

    On top of that, this would also make it available on consoles and mobile platforms (along with native support on modern operating systems), and would bring in a whole new generation of Monkey Island lovers. I realize that the first to SEs may have already done this, but imo CMI is the most visually attractive entry in the series which makes it the most likely to bring in today's very visual-oriented gamers.

    I'm not sure about that specific error, but try ScummVM - it'll let you play CMI (and most other SCUMM games) on newer computers without much issue.

    That's true, but ScummVM doesn't like the disc change in CMI, causing the game to crash, or the cut-scene for part 3 to have to be skipped.

    Though you are right ScummVM is the way to go, just thought I'd also add, that you need to copy the files from your CMI CD's into a set file on your computer and run it from there (on ScummVM) this fixes the game completely. You need all the files from Disc 1 and only the files on Disc 2 that aren't included on Disc 1 or have 2 in there name. I suck at explaining, but there is a full explanation of how to do it online.

    Hope that helps.

    Okay

    The Curse of Monkey Island on ScummVM in 12 simple steps (Windows)
    A simple guide by Alex IDV
    1. Create a folder called "The Curse of Monkey Island".
    2. Put CD 1 in your disc drive.
    3. Copy the following from the CD to your "The Curse of Monkey Island" folder:
      • COMI.LA0
      • COMI.LA1
      • The folder "RESOURCE"
    4. Put CD 2 in your disc drive.
    5. Copy the following from the CD to your "The Curse of Monkey Island" folder:
      • COMI.LA2
      • The folder "RESOURCE".
    6. Windows will ask you if you want to merge the "RESOURCE" folders. Say yes.
    7. Launch ScummVM. (the latest version can be found here: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/)
    8. Click "Add game...".
    9. Navigate to your "The Curse of Monkey Island" folder.
    10. Click "Choose".
    11. Click "OK".
    12. Choose "The Curse of Monkey Island" in your ScummVM game list, and click "Start game".

    Escape from monkey island total change is never going to happen. A special edition with the new Elaine (or technically older) voice is much more likely

    edited August 2011
    I doubt they will make a SE for either games, just for the fact that they aren't as old as the first two, and that the company knows that the 3 and 4 can be still be played

    its a battle we may never win, but it would be nice
