Telltale Games

I will have to agree with a few posts up that the change to 3-D made S&M loose some of its charm. I think the new S&M just looks TOOOOO good. to much out of the computer. the old version had some hand-drawn feeling, at least in the backgrounds which made it somehow superior to newer products.
like the old Tom&Jerry cartoons have artistic value, handpainted sets and such, but the new ones just looked generic. but all those complaints have been levelled for me by the top-notch writing and timing of the digital "puppets". and the soundtrack of course. that's one of the best game soundtracks ever. because it sounds like real music, not some temp "keep-the-tension" computer generated special effects choir.

When you look at the detail of 201, it just looks amazing!!!

One of the things that I'm amazed at are the little things the leap to 3d has bought, such as the pink areas of Max's ears, and with the new lighting effects the way they just slightly dip in is beauty.

Essentially I feel that this debate is turning into the same debate as when 'new, realistic, HD games' started comming to consoles with the ps3 and 360. A lot of people were saying that all you were going to get were 'realistic' looking games, such as fight night 3, Assasins creed etc, but you give people a little time and you get things such as the simpsons game, or ratchet and clank, that look totall y hand drawn or like a cgi animation.

As for grim fandango, i think the grime engine suited it well, but didnt suit mi4, given a bit more dev time i think it would have been perfect!
