Fuck yes.
[QUOTE=Poltergeist Three;15332704]Am I the only one who sees nothing wrong with the new visuals? :([/QUOTE] I don't think there's anything wrong with it either.
Best thing ever!!!!!!!!!
I already fapped :( also fucking nostalgia man. This is the only game my dad would ever play with me :saddowns:
He looks like a prick, and the voice actor is terrible. Still gonna buy it though.
Huh... I always thought Guybrush looked pretty retarded beyond the second game.

I don't like the look of the new game to be honest and I'm sick to death of episodic content. I can't wait for the remake of The Secret of Monkey Island though.

Huzzah!
Too much cutscenes and too little point and click in the trailer. But then again, it's a trailer.
[QUOTE=Loofiloo;15337392]=O yesyesyesyes Unless it's going to have the newer dumb-looking Guybrush. =/[/QUOTE] Watch the video, it stays very close to the original and you can even swap seemlessly between the new and the old look. Which makes me wonder if this is still Scumm.

I'm no graphics whore but I just wouldn't be able to enjoy a game that looks like it was animated by first-year Graphic Design students.

THIS IS HOW GUYBRUSH THREEPWOOD IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK: [img]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2009/151/reviews/960369_20090601_screen011.jpg[/img] [editline]02:44AM[/editline] And it's officially fucking awesome that the "ask me about LOOM" guy is still there in the remake. I wonder if he's going to say something different now that Loom is really old? OR HOLY SHIT WHAT IF THEY REMAKE LOOM? THAT WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVER! MAYBE IT WOULD GET REALLY POPULAR AND THEY'D FINALLY RELEASE THE FORGE AND THE FOLD!
They looked best in MI3 End of story

I really like MI 3's design, and the new one stays very true to it.

Fucking YESSSSSSSS! God damn I love Monkey Island, holy shit. Thank you so much for informing me, I love you. This sure has some high expectations to live up to though.
HOLY SHITTING FUCK YES "I'm Guybrush Threepwood, [b] Mighty Pirate! [/b]"
I shit like thirteen bricks when I first read about this. I fucking LOVE monkey island. Now if only they would make a damn Chrono Trigger sequel or remake I would be happy for life.
Although I'm quite happy I think they Fucked with the main character and made him way too cartoonlike They need to make Guybrush like he is in Escape from Monkey Island.
Oh god yes :gizz:
I grew up on SCUMM games. So I am seriously overjoyed. I actually really liked the way Sam and Max games played out, they were pretty fluid and a lot of fun. I'm not too hot on the art style but I will remain optimistic. The real gold of the Monkey Island series was in the writing. So lets hope it's as awesome. Also it's nice to see it return to point and click. Fuck teh Lua engine with a knife. It worked in Grim Fandango, but not in Monkey Island.
Sorry, but this looks fucking terrible. I loved the old ones, but the graphic style, the voice acting, ugh. From the looks of the trailer, they don't even manage to capture the humor.

[IMG]http://ui03.gamespot.com/994/mikennyscannonshop_2.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Super nostalgia just hit me. Thanks for that. I love how the characters were drawn instead of rendered, adds a nice touch to the game. I wish this new MI game stuck to the MI3 style.
My point is that the character design is just the same! Look at the two Guybrush: [img]http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/539/untitled1fs3.jpg[/img] [img]http://files.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland/talesofmi_guybrush_concept.jpg[/img] They are completely the same, except for the beard and jacket which are both from MI 2.
