Grim Fandango HD for my 360 would be sweet. I bet that game plays much nicer with a controller, much like Escape from Monkey Island did on the PS2.

Also LeChuck's Revenge SE.

jannar85 · 09/15/2009, 03:25 am

Grim Fandango HD would be awesome, with updated 3D. And change of controllers or a choice of them?

Good news anyway!

PimPamPet · 09/15/2009, 04:01 am

MI2:SE would be excellent.

It runs fine on XP for me with no crashes whatsoever.

Have you used the custom launcher?

And disabling directdraw?

*Icedhope* · 09/15/2009, 05:06 am

Woo! Lucasarts, I'm starting to love you again!

zmally · 09/15/2009, 05:08 am

More a confirmation than an announcement!

And with ttg presumably expanding their catalogue with the revenue made from tmi, we are looking at a very bright future!

Let the festivities begin!!

Full Throttle I'm inclined to let go unless they can find someone who can pull off Ben's voice as well as Roy Conrad did. As to The Dig, I honestly think technology has reached the point that Spielberg could get the movie he originally wanted for that title; that's what I'd like to see.

GuybrushWilco · 09/15/2009, 06:31 am

CMI, Full Throttle and The Dig do not need remakes. A remake of Fate of Atlantis would be amazing, it my personal fav in the genre. A remake of MI2 is a must to round out the series, so that each installment has voice acting and good graphics.

Grim Fandango already looks and sounds relatively all right, I don't see what benefits SE could give. Another game set into same world could be fun though.

Day of the Tentacle SE could be cool, because I never completed the first one. Labyrinth, Zak and Maniac Mansions are only LA adventures I don't have.

Could fix the sped-up puzzles, if nothing else. Of course, then it'd just be a re-release, but that's good enough for me.

Loom was a hard game it was in-comprehensive at first, I got to go back to it but you start to get it shortly after. I was unexpected for me. They say music co-exists to intelligence. Wasn't that game about music?

Yeah, from what I remember of it, you waved a little stick and conducted music to get farther in the game.

MusicallyInspired · 09/15/2009, 09:13 am

It was a distaff. Wasn't no little stick.

As to the news, wow! MI2SE is absolutely confirmed in my mind now that I know LucasArts was pleased with how well SMISE and the other rereleases did. Can't wait for what's in store!

Masquerade · 09/15/2009, 10:32 am

Well, there was a "Guybrush Threepwood will be back" message at the end of the Special Edition credits. But please Lucasarts, keep your shoddy control setup for the consoles. The Special Edition was like two steps forward and one step back - down a manhole.

Armakuni · 09/15/2009, 12:18 pm

I'm not very excited about remakes. Not because I think they shouldn't be made, but I've already finished these games so many times... I don't really feel like replaying them, at least not for a good while.

Maybe they'll spend some more money now that they've seen it has potential to sell well?
Not that the first remake was bad, but I think it felt a bit cheap... I'm sure it could've benefitted from a higher budget.

Stability on modern PCs and some decent controls.

More games in the Grim Fandango universe would be OK, but a direct sequel featuring the same characters would do nothing but diminish the original and should be left alone. Except Glotis. You could just about get away with having Glotis in a semi-sequel.

If they only do one thing with the inevitable Lechuck's Remake, they need to fix the PC controls. That was my biggest problem with the Secret SE - I'd have been willing to overlook the other flaws if they'd not screwed that up - and I make no secret of that. If this really is a new and better LucasArts, they'll learn from their mistakes.

I don't think so, considering that the rights to Sam & Max belong to Steve Purcell and not LucasArts, and besides, most of the ideas used in that game have been in Season 1, so no.
