Hi everyone! I got my physical release of Grim Fandango Remastered in the mail today, and I wanted to share the pictures with you.
Here is the full set:
(Unlucky for me, my poster arrived damaged. Notice the top left to middle, there are two small tears.)
When I pre-ordered, I was most excited about the figurine that was announced, but... am I the only one who thought it'd be a lot BIGGER?
(On the plus side, it drives! Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoaa!!)
(Also the detail on Manny's face is... baffling...)
It really shows that this is a re-release, scanned from the original files. One thing that's really noticable is the darkness of all the printed material.
Here is a picture next to my original dutch release box:
It really becomes apparant when you put the backsides of the boxes next to each other:
A lot of detail is lost this way, which is a shame. It looks like they didn't really crosscheck the brightness/contrast with the original material.
(EDIT: The new poster and cd-case look fine though!)
Another funny thing I noticed (and I guess this is a credit for @Laserschwert's amazing work) is this little thank you on the back of the cd:
All in all, a nice release, but it doesn't live up to the excitement I felt when pre-ordering. It's nice to have the game and soundtrack in physical form though!
EDIT: I just double checked the product page, and apparantly the mural print is missing. I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't have it.
