Shouldn't this be on LucasArts forum is you want them to see it.

I mean it's cool, thanks for showing it, I just think if you really want something done about it take it to the people who might actually be making the game.

*Silverwolfpet* · 07/27/2009, 11:19 am

Well, I thought you guys wanted to see it too!

It's a really cool clip! The 3D rendering is simply mind-blowing...

SHODANFreeman · 07/27/2009, 11:31 am

It looks really good, but it won't happen which makes me sad.

Guinea · 07/27/2009, 11:32 am

Oh my god, this is too awesome.

Astro Gnocci · 07/27/2009, 11:35 am

wow.

Seems like someone found a way to end the ole 2D vs D war

Spadge · 07/27/2009, 11:52 am

Wish they do it like that, shame they wont.
But seriously, this is some pretty awesome software.

bobhobbit · 07/27/2009, 11:56 am

I just wonder how much time that took to put together... sure he makes it sound simple in the video, but how much work is involved in turning the 2D into 3D geography?

Secret Fawful · 07/27/2009, 11:58 am

Hahahaha. Wow, that was awesome. I expected just another 2D mockup of concept art with a blurry Guybrush sprite; but that was really great.

I would love to see a 3D Big Whoop done in this style.

I think Monkey Island 1 and 2 are fine as they are in the original version, and I don't really understand why people thought remakes were necessary. I don't really like the new art in the Monkey Island 1 remake either, I prefer the original art.

anthalont · 07/27/2009, 12:19 pm

Impressive!
Wish they'd make it!

The reason why they remade them are because they wanted to attract new gamers to the series. New gamers do not like reading, they want to listen, if anything.
And also VGA graphics aren't appealing to the new demographic, unfortunately.

If they decided they had to do a remake, then OK.. but I really don't like the new art. Guybrush's hair looks ridiculous and he's too skinny and tall; for instance.

But more generally I think the decision underestimates young gamers, they're into retro gaming and old NES console games and arcade games.

I don't know that this is necessarily true. Sure I enjoy listening to voiceover as much as the next guy, but even in Twilight Princess Nintendo still didn't record any voices for the characters. Or Mario Galaxy, or Super Paper Mario for that matter. And a great many gamers, some of whom may even have been new, found reading to be just fine there.

VGA graphics I can't really argue with. 320x200 is... not terribly high res. But if I had to choose to have MI2 with voice or MI2 with high res graphics, I'd choose voice over updated graphics any day.

MonkeyMania · 07/27/2009, 01:17 pm

Most impressive.

Aeterna · 07/27/2009, 01:21 pm

That looked really nice, but just doing the upgraded graphics that he showed.. that was sweet on it's own. That + voices would be a really nice remake of the game if you ask me.

brian.shapiro · 07/27/2009, 01:23 pm

If they wanted to attract new gamers, all LucasArts had to do really was release the original games as Freeware with a good SCUMM emulator.

Is it attracting more gamers to charge for a remake?

Sternenkrieger · 07/27/2009, 01:47 pm

Thanks for the kind words.
My aim was to lay the debate between 2D and 3D to rest. It's a nice little technique to get the best of both worlds. And it can even be used as a base for a 3d level or scene. A next step could be to get this scene into a realtime engine like Cryengine (beautiful ocean ahhh...)

It took approx 4 days for this particular piece. Could be done in 3 maybe if you are dedicated.
The original image used for the projection was just the 700x524 concept art you can get at scummbar.com and which LucasArts released in 2002 (I doubled the resolution with some filtering before the projection)
http://www.scummbar.com/games/screen.../concept/5.jpg
If LucasArts still has the original painted backgrounds a scan in higher resolution or just a new image with higher res (700x524 is ridicously low-res) could work wonders to improve the results a lot.
Oh yeah and it's me the keylight mood guy

Sorry again for starting that shitstorm a couple weeks back..

here are some wallpapers of the scene. I didn't really bother to touch them up extensively, so it's not perfect

the Guybrush in the first one is based on Paco Vink's neat sprite.

RMJ1984 · 07/27/2009, 02:12 pm
