Some people just want to look at a shelf near their desk and see a bunch of things they like to think about. If the thing you like is “I hunted this down on eBay and second hand shops for four years, and it’s from the original run!!!” amazing, good for you. Many people love to buy first edition books for this reason. They do have something special to them. But some people just want any copy of the thing. Some people like all the little extra drop-ins. Some people like that this new release is going to be consistently designed to make a matching shelf. Not everyone is the same. Saying “I just don’t get why someone else would like this” is disingenuous at best or self-damning at worst because all it really means is “I don’t like this.” If you don’t like that someone else likes it, get over yourself. If you really truly genuinely can’t see the world through someone else’s eyes enough to imagine what fun they might see in a thing you don’t like as small as a re-release of a retro game, it’s maybe time for some serious self reflection.

Okay.

Based on earlier posts from Ron, the tile set seems to be from Kenny game assets, a really amazing free library of art you can use when making a game. That makes it hard to know if he’s planning on shipping with those or if it’s just a quick way to prototype something that is easy on the eyes while in development.

It’s also worth editing the first post to include all of them as they’re uploaded. great series! This is awesome

The game is almost built like a responsive website. If you play it on an ultrawide display you can also get extra widescreen content here and there. The crop can change dynamically depending on the ratio. This must have been done with phones/tablets in mind, where there are no set ratios but modern devices range from about 19:9 to something around 4:3.

I think this is the original cover? The only actually good one of the bunch. the actual first edition has that cover and also has good typography. It’s weird watching the look of this book rot away over the decades by way of this thread. Example: (not my copy)

What the hell does this even mean?

I hope it has an excerpt from Guybrush’s memoirs on the back of the box!

Pretty much this. His appearance in the SEs plus fan pushback meant telltale reached out again and got him for LeChuck’s return in the finale.

It’s a really hit or miss game in that regard. It has some of the most well made sets in the series and also some where you can literally see through holes in the building models without doing anything but walking around the scene. Some really nice handmade textures and design, and some photographs of dirt stuck on a wall. And it was all held together with some really sturdy lighting, color grading, and telltale’s best and most apparent cinematography at the time (and great writing and music, if we’re getting outside the visuals). The remaster is more about bringing the more chunky and ramshackle parts of the season up to par with the really nice stuff, than anything else. Sometimes that does involve replacing or redoing textures that appear across the whole season and those are still in progress. (eg I think the finished game will look dirtier than what’s in the teaser, but it will be accomplished a way other than the original, which relied on photosourced dirt textures to achieve it).

I’m glad the games will be a little tiny bit more unified as a result of this, but HTR still gets the extra juice with a bunch of little pieces of new art from Steve, and the behind the scenes stuff in the art book. (All of which I’m glad about.)
