And we have posted the only review you need to read. https://mixnmojo.com/features/reviews/Sam-and-Max-The-Devils-Playhouse-Remastered-Reviewed

I fear it a pipe dream (not Pipe Dream) that Tales of Monkey Island remaster would be next in line for remastering.

This is out tomorrow! I know the website says Skunkape were created purely to remaster these three seasons of games, but I can't help but wonder if they'll go on to do something else...

Details here, trailer below. Feel the hype.

Though it got the front page treatment, I would say this thread merits a bump in the wake of the epilogue episode that was released for the PyschOdyssey documentary a few weeks ago. @Spaff wants YOU:

The visuals for Strong Bad were a much better fit for the constraints of its target platform. The game needs to be made available again, but I don't know that it cries out for a new coat of paint. It doesn't feel compromised. Tales suffers much more obviously from being coerced into being made with a WiiWare SKU in mind. I'd love to see what redemption Skunkape could offer it now that it can present the most perfect qualifications imaginable. While we're pipe-dreaming: I wonder what it would take for NuTelltale to get Puzzle Agent running on Switch?

Talked it over with Remi, and it's in fact a bannable offense now if you can't produce a proof of purchase on command. Hey, we never claimed civil rights were a thing here.

I would love it if Tales could be remastered by Skunkape, they've done such a good job on Sam and Max. Speaking of...Devil's Playhouse is out and reviewed get it bought everyone.

ToMI would definitely benefit from a new coat of paint with the Skunkape touch (imagine having more than 6 character models!), but at least it's still nominally available. At the moment I'd put my hopes on Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People - it's currently unlisted on storefronts, it wouldn't take a ton of re-lighting or anything due to its art style, and the Bros Chaps are probably easier to negotiate with than Disney is. And they've been establishing their presence as Videlectrix with their retro-style point-and-click games on Steam. Good fit.

Yes, absolutely, it was Telltale's finest hour. That said, I might indeed be the type to slight The Walking Dead, but then again, I never liked zombies that much; the hopelessness that pervades this work kind of dragged me down; and the TTG forum culture went out the door with the advent of a gazillion hyperactive twelve year olds. Besides, if my elephant brain doesn't let me down here, the great schism of those ancient times was puzzles or no puzzles. I was a puzzle guy. The Devil's Playhouse had them. I'm looking forward to re-experience this game and to find out, without any rose tinted glasses, what this particular je ne sais quoi (with an i in the last word, mind you) actually is/was. For now, my two questions are: Soundtrack, bandcamp, when? I want to send my money flying on those heavenly wavelengths ... New lines of dialog?! Which ones? (I'd ask those P. B.s you mention, but given the cataloguing talent they've demonstrated with the last S&M remasters, I might get more accurate results asking a random six year old)

A new trailer for Great Circle will be shown on the gamescom opening night next Tuesday (20th August) https://x.com/geoffkeighley/status/1823406450049216640?t=dlm5Xod0cYA29kW-LkbqfA&s=19
