I'm european and I've grown up with Monkey Island.

It's Bioware which develops The Old Republic no?

so they aren't really ultra busy then are they? Perhaps they are making another special edition

If the sales work well with this game( in a box version, that will help I think ), we can hope a second season of ToMI or a new Special Edition of Lucasarts 90' point&click, at least I hope so.

You know times are hard when Lucasarts is not grinding out 5 Star Wars titles a year.

Scarlet Spider · 07/10/2011, 02:21 am

I didn't see any Star Wars game this year(only Lego Star Wars III), and The Old Republic will be out next year. Poor Lucasarts

Teeth · 07/10/2011, 05:11 am

I'm wondering if these'll be any different from the downloadable versions. As it's a mainstream retail release I would've thought they'll polish the games up and include some updates to the graphical mistakes and glitches, but I've got a nagging suspicion they'll just chuck them on the disc as they are...

coolsome · 07/10/2011, 05:16 am

I hope they make it on the first SE that you can hear voices in classic mode.

Scarlet Spider · 07/10/2011, 05:32 am

I hope they'll change Guybrush's hair in the first special edition, and add voices to the classic edition.

Alex IDV · 07/10/2011, 05:43 am

Since LucasArts doesn't seem to be directly involved, I can't really see them changing around Guybrush's hair or remaking the dancing monkeys opening in MI2.

While I really like the boxart, LeChuck looks kinda weird, and I think it's due to his pupils.

Quick and dirty edit by me. Doesn't he look much better without the pupils?

Thankfully, this is really easy to photoshop away, so I think I'll scan the box art and print out a pupil-less version of it once the game is released.

coolsome · 07/10/2011, 06:49 am

The eyes don't rly bother me. I think they make him look more angry.

Alex IDV · 07/10/2011, 06:52 am

To me, the one with pupils looks more "hurr durr I'm a pie rat" than a zombie pirate, but maybe that's just me.

I doubt they are going to make any changes.. I would bet this is one last try to grab some cash from loyal MI fans and people who had been holding out for a physical copy... I doubt they are willing to put more manpower into that they need to.. to add things like voice to the classic version or fixing graphical errors.. Throwing art on there isn't really hard for them to do so they are doing that because they know fans that do not care if they own a disc will want that too.... so its win win for them.

Its just going to be here are the games on a disc... MONEY PLEASE.

And you know what? Its going to work I will buy it for PC and Ps3.

Activision is LucasArts distributor in Europe. It's still a LucasArts game being published by themselves.

Not true. They do publish many games, and recently made and published both 'The Force Unleashed' games.

The sad thing is, same here! I'm annoyed at myself, I have these on Steam, Xbox Live, Playstation Network and even MI1 SE from Telltales Store and I'm STILL going to buy these just because it comes with some extras and has new artwork.

I mean, damn it, I laugh at Star Wars fans when they do this sort of thing, but here I am buying Monkey Island like 10x over!

coolsome · 07/11/2011, 09:14 am

Will MI 1 SE have console controls like the 2nd one had cos point and click can be awkward on console. And truth be told I like being able to move Guybrush with the joystick.

Masta23 · 07/15/2011, 12:51 pm

Personally I don't see the point in buying them twice. I already have them on steam.

well I prefer digital distribution for PC games now. The amount of games I buy, it's preferable. I already have all my xbox 360 and PS3 games lol
