You were talking about the series names.

If they were to make it into one big game, then taleS could be unfitting, since it would be just one TALE...

I was just speculating.... kind of the point of this topic.

It's like asking what the point of this entire topic is, or worse; what the point is in posting in this topic.

Even if you are happy with Tales as it is, do you think it would be worth it? I dunno how much money and effort would be requierd, but I sure wouldn't mind. What do you think?

No, No and no. There is nothing wrong with the game except the voice quality in one occasion in Episode 2.

A united, continuous version with less compressed voices would be quite enough for me to feel like I got something special on the disc version. An arranged soundtrack would be a lovely bonus too. Actually spending a lot of money remaking things feels a bit over-the-top to me.

It all depends on what you want, I think it'd be nice if there was a version on the CD that has all the episodes glued together to make it a single game.

I don't think it'd be worth doing if it's a lot of effort though, they've got to get the Brains Trust to get together series 2 after all. :-)

I think the quality overall is certainly acceptable. Although I wouldn't be disappointed if they used higher quality sound for the official CD/DVD, I think it's pretty darn good as it is.

It's already been said many times, but I do agree that all the chapters should be stitched together as one big game for the final release though. I really, really hope they do it that way.

I hope its all put together too.... a ton of people seem to want it... they should give the people what they want.

in all honesty there catering more to the casual gamer/old skool adventure market, both of which dont really care about flash graphics/dont have the pc powerful enough to have flash graphics so i doubt a special edition wouls sell much -

i mean we've allready had a ton of people complaining their aicient pcs or laptops with integrated graphics chips cant run tales as it is! personally now im a bit of a gfx freak, i like upgrading my pc and playing games with the best grphics like crysis etc but sadly im in a minority.

So do i, but then we would loose the awesome Murray Credits. Unless they were put in as an extra, or alternate credits.

As for the quality, Coming from someone who owns both wiiware chapters (only two are out in the UK) and now the PC versions (i swapped. It's still cheaper on PC for the whole set than buying the last three wiiware episodes) I think the quality is perfect on the PC version (minus a few bugs, like the Voodoo smoke on guybrushes hand turning square, or Lechuck being replaced by a black ball in chapter two (after revisitng the island after breaking through the blockade). The wii version however, desperately needs a disc release. It's just So painfully inferior. I lived with the Crashes, and low res graphics because i was so starved of Monkies, but it just isn't right that wii owners pay more for an inferior version.

I reckon there should be a switch in options for end-of-chapter credits and also a skip button during end-of-chapter credits.

The WiiWare quality and price are in the hands of Nintendo. I'm willing to bet TT only get about £4 for every episode sold on there. As for releasing it on disc, this is more expensive and TT must have thought about this first.

The quality could be alot better on a disc though. Especially if they make it dual layered. Considering that i would pay £35 ($60) for a normal, fully functional disc game (same price as all the episodes on wiiware, if points are bought from Shop channel, otherwise price=£40+) It is a bit of a ripoff. Also, considering that the PC version comes as a disc anyway, costs can't be that much more on wii.

An 'enhanced' version to me would be CoMI style.

Arodin · 10/30/2009, 08:47 am

I think Tales is fine the way it is. The only technical issue I've had with it was the low-bit sound quality that The Siege of Spinner Cay originally had (and probably also Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, but it was less noticeable). They patched the audio for Siege, and Lair of the Leviathan sounded very good, so I'm pretty happy with the games just as they are now. The graphics engine has its rough edges, but the visuals have exceeded my early expectations. Sure I'd like an "enhanced" version, but that's just a pipe dream. Be happy with the great games we have.

*Irishmile* · 10/30/2009, 08:50 am

I think it looks great its stylized and cartoonish and its accessible to alot of gamers who do not have the top of the line system.

Sure its not made with the most cutting edge in graphics but MI never was about that.
