Do you think the game will hold up to modern day gaming? I've never played Grim Fandango but it sounds awesome

Modern day gaming doesn't hold up against it. It's still amazing.

I never played the original which is weird because it sounds like a game I would have played back then. Will definitely be checking it out on ps4.

So the original doesn't feel dated then? Good stuff, hopefully it releases this year, I have a PS4 but after The Last of Us (another re-release, I know), not much to look forward to...

I never played the original but was wondering today what is the big deal? It's a point and click adventure, isn't it? So why would this get a great reaction that I doubt Monkey Island would get?

And I did play and like Monkey Island as well as recent adventures like Walking Dead

Monkey Island is another one I never played and don't know why. I see it's on the PSN, might have a gander.

The original Monkey Island games got a very positive reception when they were remade / re-released a few years back. They're both examples of highly imaginative game worlds and characters and situations. They also remain among the wittiest games ever written

The reason why Grim Fandango redux is so excitedly anticipated? Because the game is incredibly hard to get your hands on, and has been for quite a while. Simply hasn't been legally available anywhere. Even if you do own it or get your hands on it via whatever means, it can be a chore getting it to work on modern machines. That, and even the creators acknowledge the controls are infamously ****! If ever a game was just waiting for a modern upgrade - a graphical overhaul and a few UI tweaks - it is Grim Fandango. Most of all, it will be nice to just be able to buy the game again. Like a BluRay of a classic film that has been long out of print.

Looking forward to this on the vita, great game.

Its not point and click, you control the character, cant wait to play this again tbh

Hoping its remade for PC also and not just PS4

It's coming to PC as well. At least that's what the link in the OP says

I think I was mostly on the Nes, pc gaming must have come later.

Any of the early pc games I played were blade runner, sanitarium, black dhalia (give it up for dennis hopper yo) were all '98 so I think MI and GF were before my PC time.

I played the fùck out of the demo back then, never got to play the full game because I couldn't find anywhere to buy it.

Loved this game...was so hard though...had to use the walkthrough an awful lot.

Big Knox

Delighted with this news, never got around to playing it originally and it's one that has annoyed me since. Looking forward to it!

How did the MI remakes sell? Bought both on iOS and Xbox and would have probably done the same with the other classics. Wasn't entirely convinced of the art style they took, but appreciated an update was necessary and they did have the good sense to include the originals. As regards GF; I want it to be Star Trek:TOS remasters rather than a Star Wars. I'm probably in the minority, but it's a DoTT I crave.

Arthur Beesley

What about the Indiana Jones series? Fate of Atlantis was great.

Interesting watch of Tim Schafer discussing the development of GF while playing it.

GhostInTheRuins

Class! I loved this game. I remember a friend giving me a demo disc with the first twenty minutes of GF as a demo, we must have played it twenty times

I still have the original cd rom lying around and I tried to get it working a few years back but it didn't play kindly with my modern system.

I think actually it would transfer well to tablet gaming, it could do away with the resident evil style movement controls.

Useful.Idiot

What a game! Brilliantly sharp witted and frustratingly challenging at times - I can't even remember if I cleared it or not. Eager to play it remastered!

Mr. CooL ICE

Great game. Played it circa 2007 on an XP machine and it ran fine. Couldn't play without a walkthrough though as I'm terrible with these games. Would definitely buy a remake

Oh yeah

The game style sure but many point and clicks have some illogical puzzles, where you just end up trying every item everywhere.

This ain't a Roberta "Master Storyteller" Williams' Sierra special.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. Played it when it was first released and didn't like it at all. You would need a walkthrough to complete this. Doesn't come close to other classic point and click adventures like fate of atlantis or DOTT.
