Holy shiz, if I get this, i will have the FULL MONKEY ISLAND GAME COLLECTION!!!!!!!!! cept escape but i did rent that till it glitched and i couldent go farther.:mad::( And the main reason i couldent play the normal monkey island 1 was because of no voice acting(i like to hear the game not read the game:)) and well i couldent get voice overs in the old version, but with this, i could play the normal graphics, and voice overs.:D:D:D And guys look at the special edition guybrush looked exactly the tomi guybrush minus the 3D, Lucasarts just made the best descision of their career's(beside monkey island itself)
It just doesn't feel the same without a simultaneous TOMI announcement.... hint hint...

It and the first Special Edition are being released for Playstation....... Xbox got MI stuff to dress up their Avatars... and now that Sony owns media Molecule making LittleBIGplanet an official Sony product.. I am HOPING that we can get Monkey Island down-loadable content for that game..... I want to play as Guybrush, LeChuck, and Elaine in that game badly.

We all knew it was coming, but it's still great to see this officially announced at long last. Can't wait to play it again, I always thought it was better then SoMI. Summer can't come soon enough.
EDIT: Hope they fix the PC controls. Really, really hope they do.

Well, it was only announced yesterday, followed by the TMI DVD/S&M3 announcement (at 12.15 ish AM UK time, so this morning for me), so you haven't really missed out.

Me too. Guybrush looks a LOT better than the horrid one in the first SE. Also, looking at the sprite in that website, his walking animation looks loads better as well. Pretty much some of my main concerns have been fixed. Classic with voice acting sounds awesome as well.
I'm just happy I finally have a way to get two of my friends to play the second one. I got them the first SE and they really loved it, but they had no real way to play the second game, which was in my opinion the best MI game.

I think the best part about the SE is the voice acting. It really adds greatly to the games when you can hear their voices.

Same here. And I think it's cool that the voice overs will be available in both visual versions this time too.
I wonder how they're doing the music for this one? The iMUSE system in the original was quite a big thing, and because MIDI files work differently to recorded audio files, it'll probably require a lot of re-programming. I love the music in MI2 so I'm looking forward to hearing what they do with it. :D

What exactly was so special about it? ANy other games use it (i don't want to spoil MI2 by watching a playthrough video for the soundtrack, but could do so for other games)?
Kroms
03/15/2010, 04:53 am
I think iMuse was also in Curse. Same system, by MI2's soundtrack was more ambient. I think people like Woodtick especially, as the entire town has one piece of music, but certain instruments change according to what house or part you're currently standing in.
Scrawffler
03/15/2010, 05:11 am
Day of the Tentacle and Hit the Road used the same kind of programming, if that helps.
The music was set to play in time with whatever was going on visually. Say for example, the music was supposed to change on a certain character's line. If you skipped a few of the lines leading up to it, or your computer was going too fast/too slow, the music still changed smoothly at the right moment in sync with the dialogue (rather than just changing after a certain amount of seconds). Transitions like this were also used to connect two pieces of music when you went from one room to another. It connected the different tracks to make them sound like one piece of music.
I'm not sure what it would involve to get the same effects when working with sound clips rather than digital notation, but if they manage to do it then it'll be great.
EDIT: It might have been used in Curse, yes. Apparently it was used in Escape too (so it says on the CD-ROM). The weird thing about both those games is that their music is in sound format, rather than MIDI. So if that's true then it must be possible. It might be a bit more complicated when changing a game from MIDI iMUSE to sound files though.
Friar
03/15/2010, 07:06 am
That does sound quite intresting, and now that you mention it, i do remember a similair thing in curse. The scene in the barbershop after putting the lice on the comb. Now i've got that 3 second transition stuck in my head!
In Curse they made more then one piece of music for a scene, say in the Barbershop you have one version of the song, but if you start talking to Edward van Helgen the sound slowly fades to a different version of the song.
It's the same song, but some of the key instruments change. Because the rest stays the same the change is really unnoticable, so it still feels like one piece of music.

True. They did that in MI2 as well; at Woodtick when you go from the inn lobby to Largo's room, and back. Same chords, similar melodies, with a few little differences. I think it was used in TOMI as well, when you're on Flotsam Island and moving around different parts of the town area (e.g. a harpsichord is added when you're outside DeSinge's place).
The difference with midi (used in MI2), is that Imuse would write it's own transitions instead of them being recorded multiple times. This leads to some absurdly complicated but beautiful transitions sometimes.
They did a really good job with the live instruments of CMI, but they couldn't do the things they did with Midi there.
Scrawffler
03/19/2010, 04:40 am
Yeah, they did get around it really well. :)
Another thing I've been wondering about the SE... do you think they'll get Dom to record every single random "look at" response Guybrush says? (like "nice small key", "nice slot on door", "nice more jungle") And when you try to give something away you don't have in your inventory? ("I'm not holding the Dread's ship", "I'm not holding the Men of Lower Moral Fiber (Pirates)")
Because it would be awesome if they do. But again, I'm not sure how likely this is.
Well... They should! :D
That'll be an awesome voice session Dom's gonna have.
I'm betting that weeks after he's still gonna say to his wife "nice potroast," "nice diaper change," "nice unlikely sharp carving knife."

corruptbiggins
03/25/2010, 08:45 pm
The generic response to an incorrect object use is "That doesn't seem to work". Some items have a special response, like the shovel - when trying to use that with something that doesn't go with it you get the response "I can't dig that, Daddy". So I reckon that they will ask Dom to say nice *object name* to each object that carries that response when looked at.

Well, you could try growing silly armpit hair (http://kinokofry.com/2010/03/30/diary-001-armpit-hair/) instead... :D

But while bears and moustaches (technically) don't stop growing (like hair), body hairs do (otherwise I can imagine what everybody's eyebrows would look like by now xD).
That limits the amount of things you can do with them.
I wonder if it can get long enough to be braided. I've seen corn rows "down there" before.
Oh, the possibilities!
This being said, I can't imagine how it would be practical to twirl your armpit hair in an evil way. Think of the weird position, and who would take you seriously as a villain?
