Would you like to see Monkey Island 2 lechucks revenge special edition?

[Wolfstar27]

as everyone knows with the hype leading up to the new Secret of Monkey Island:SE, everyone is wondering if there going to make a special edition to Monkey Island 2, now Monkey Island 2 is my favourite game in the series (infact it was the first one i played out of the series),my only concern is seeing the revamp of this game,because as crazy as it sounds, i really love detail in the game, the art work and backgrounds was really breathtaking, and if they revamp the characters,i dont know if there going to loose the hilarious facial expressions, like when guybrush shoves a dog down his pants, or see his cheesy smile, when hes up to no good, or when he gets threaten by largo and you see guybrushs false hair, i dont know wether it would feel the same.

what do you guys think? do you think my concerns are ridiculous, or do you agree with what im saying

I think MI2 was a huge improvement graphically over SoMI anyway so I dont think s MI2:SE would be as needed (I cant play the original now due to the graphics, but can MI2)

It would be worth it just for the voices though IMO.

I am playing through MI2 atm, and I am also thinking it would be nice with voices. So would be great if they made a game the same way as MI1:SE where you can choose between old and new graphics, and hopefully voices as well. Old grapthics with voices would be nice

It's certainly a bigger job than MI1. More characters, more animation, more locations, MUCH more music (and how to match the iMUSE used in the original would pose an interesting puzzle). Once saving grace could be that they still have the original handpainted backgrounds, so if they could be re-scanned at a higher res that would both look great and save work.

I'd love to see it as MI2 is my favourite in the series, but it's not an upgrade to be taken lightly.

Not that this has anything to do with Telltale, of course.

I don't think it's needed too... But, anyway, I really hope they would contact a good hairstylist...........

Seconded

I'd be OK with just the addition of voices.

Yes, to be honest The Sam and Max voices period really did it for me . I grew up durring the Fate of Atlantis, DOTT , SAM period . I didn't really grow up in the silent video game period . The only silent video game I can stand to play is Last Crusade (that's silent right ?) (The adventure game version ).

I think MI2 is perfect the way it is. It's probably one of the only games i would not want to hear the voices, because it'll take away from the music, which really did all the talking in that game. It'll be like wanting to add voices to the old silent movies, kinda destroys their point. Also, it's almost impossible to recreate the complex tricks Imuse did on the midi with recorded music.

Still going to love it though . Bring on MI2 special edition.

I already made a thread about other lucasarts SE games here.

[turingmachine604]

Wouldn't mind it... as long as they don't mess up Guybrush with some weird model.

[Secret Fawful]

There is a Special Edition concept art of an MI2 Guybrush, but he looks so old and emaciated. I absolutely hate that piece of art.

[plrichard]

Definitely, it's so weird that when I go back to play SMI and MI2 that it seems strange to not hear Dominic's voice. Plus I'd really like to hear what Largo would sound like. I agree though, all that is needed is the voices, updated graphics aren't needed. Speaking of which, does anyone know if in SMI:SE when you switch back to the original graphics if the voice-overs stay or do they go away too?

Thanks.

I think a Special Edition only makes sense if it adds some additional value, like that it's not available for a certain platform yet, enhancing specific aspects of the game like better art(gfx, sfx), additional scenes and riddles in between, adding a behind the scenes, ...

If it doesn't add something like this, i guess it's already fine just selling the old version so that people can buy it in a legal way. Although this might be different for someone who never played the game before.

The gfx in the Special Edition of SOMI are, well, ahm, ... but nevertheless it is available for the Xbox360.

The VGA version of SoMI is fairly similar graphically to LeChuck's Revenge. And it's very playble with the use of a high quaility magnification filter in ScummVM. Have you only played the EGA version?

I don't think that Lucasarts will do that coz there are already people working on adding speech to MI2 without any other changes, so it wouldn't sell, coz these other guys are doin it 4 free.

Wouldnt exactly be the same. Such free projects sometimes takes years, and sometimes never get done. Even if it did, it wouldnt be the original voices like Lucasarts could do.

Certainly would be nice hearing the voice of Largo, the pirate songs, the skeleton song. Lechuck in the ending of the game , the parents.

I doubt they would be able to do all that in free voice over remake of MI2. Especially with good music. If Lucasarts did an MI2 remake Im also hoping they would redo all the sounds. I just played through the game, and they could use an update. Still a great game though Still my favorite of all adventure games.

Didnt know about the fan voice over though. I would settle for that if thats all there is to get, if they get it done.

I can't stand fan voiceovers. They sound dorky and I'd rather hear a professional. The drawback to stuff that's "4 free" is that you get what you pay for.

And I'd pay to get a special edition of MI2, if LA did it.
