I didn't wanted to make you guys think it's easy (thee team know much better what their own tool is capable of). I was just giving an idea away, with my thought about it, just after playing the game and "guessing" how the engine could work. If needed, I answered more precisely, just to check if I was right or wrong. Isn't the purpose of forums to talk? With this forum you even have the chance to talk directly with the staff, a good opportunity to give them ideas. I guessed they already had this movie idea, but I asked to know why we won't hear about it anyway, why it wouldn't be possible. That's all. But, don't worry, I'll not post here until it's done. If it's impossible, that's ok, I understand that too.

Sorry I got feisty! I'll be less of a jerk*: We would love to do a movie mode, it's a great idea that's been kicked around many times at the office. If we ever find ourselves in the position to make it work, you'll be the first to know!

* I didn't mean to come off as a jerk before! Sorry if I did.

That's OK, I'm surely not used enough to this kind of "jerky" messages, as I could perhaps misunderstand some of the english expressions or stuff. But as I read, I took some posts not very "welcoming", even if they were actually. I'm sorry for that.

I dare to bring this thread up again, and as I'm watching the audio-commentaries on the S1-DVD right now, I'm really hoping there'd be a way to include a "movie"-version (like "Sam & Max Nearly Save Christmas") for each episode on the S2-DVD. I think it'd be really enjoyable having not just the cutscenes, but some really memorable bits of in-game dialogue to link those, allowing to watch these as more or less complete TV-like-episodes (plus your commentary-tracks of course).

Of course, having the episodes fully played would add up to about 2 or 3 hours each, so that probably wouldn't be possible (unless you make S2 a 2-disc set ). But maybe it's still worth considering it.

Just noticed this post. For what it's worth, we did include some non-cutscene moments on the Season One DVD, though mostly it was cutscenes. The original plan was to just do cutscene reels, but as Nick was going through the games he snuck in some other funny moments, and it greatly improved the videos. It's my hope to do the same thing with Season Two, though if we have time I would be happy to make the clip sessions for each game a little longer than Season One's.

Wouldn't people feel less compelled to replay the game if they could just watch the game "play itself" in a movie mode?

Not really. This thread discussed the technical possibility of a movie mode, not whether having one would be positive for the game.

IMO, a game should be played, not watched

Question.
Is hard implement a mode that register in a movie file all what the user see in the S&M window excluding the mouse pointer and the answer choices?

I was discussing technically, and it appeared that the idea was already pointed out but, too much work for not that much interest.

And the idea was to see the movie after playing the game, just to see all the action again and remember all the story without clicking again.

I realize that. My point was that if a movie mode was available, less people would feel inclined to replay (as in play a second time) the game.

They make programs to do that for you. Try the internet.

You can find on Youtube movies of the game being played through, you might want to find out what those people use, but don't harass them about it because I'm sure that's annoying.

I am pretty sure the usual program to register into a movie what happens in the screen will include also the dialogue selections, this was the point of the post.
