Absolutely. As I said, the game isn't finished until the last patch is released, which means there's still dev work to be done (because there's always a patch). There's so much other prep work to be done ahead of launch, too. Billions of tiny things. The idea that they'll be twiddling their thumbs is absurd; they'll be working for weeks post launch, never mind pre.

The game isn't "done" until the last patch is released...

I'm not even going to correct it... Yeah, I reckon it might be time to hunker down until I've finished the game...

You know, that horse amour is just going to annoy me...

Wow. Back in April. You win the thread.

I'm kind of interested to see how our predictions started. At some point there was a thread about the page number we'd be on!

Let the smugness commence...

Did they really need Geoff Keighley (or anyone) just to say, "Wasn't that great? And now, here's another trailer..." I can't say I've been interested in anything I've seen so far. (Maybe DUNE and EVERYWHERE -- but only because I think Benzies was responsible for some of the best stuff in GTA and RDR.) ARGHHH!!! It's happening!

Presumably it's because if he merely mentioned ReMI there'd be a riot in the auditorium. I mean it's surely the world's most anticipated game at this point? Or... I guess I could live in a bubble? Nah. First one.

Fortunately I have spent the last few years developing an immunity to iocaine powder. And I don't drink wine. UPDATE: It's begun! (Kinda)

Just another reason why the CMI verb coin was the pinnacle of Scumm interfaces (although who wants to tell Ron?)

Ron explains the thinking:

Well damn, if that isn't a very clever interface. Like the way they jettisoned the WALK TO verb when they realised it should just be default action when clicking on something, making LOOK AT the default action when you hover your mouse over something saves a click. It also makes you wonder how ReMI can have so many lines of spoken dialogue if none of the LOOK AT lines are verbalised. Just how big is this game??! 😮 😳 🤤 Question: How does it work on mobile devices? I guess all will be revealed. I just hope it doesn't cut a strain of classic comedy, a la: "LOOK AT Storekeeper". And yes, love that music transition inside the Scumm Bar!

Yep, this.

Didn't Devolver say they had lots of ReMI content planned for this month? I was expecting a weekly build up (outside of Monkey Island Mondays), possibly with a release date being announced by the end. We're halfway through and although it's great to get a PC GAMER cover story, what much else has there been?

I'm convinced that all Last Crusade would need is MI's improved interface, better dialogue hint clues (and maybe an easier fight system/sucker punch option) and it would be far better regarded. It's fun!

Ron Gilbert has said that one of the "characters" in any adventure game is the location. I hope we get some wonderfully new vibey locations to explore.

Ah, thank you! It's sort of frozen in time in all its terribly broken CSS glory. I keep meaning to update it properly -- redesign the whole damn thing and add a few bits of missing information, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I still say it's a very under-appreciated game... but you do need a guide to get through the dialogue "puzzles" because they're so unforgiving and random. EDIT: Oh wow. Just noticed you said you read the GameFAQs version. The best version is probably this one: https://indyguide.mixnmojo.com/

Possibly. It was some of the worst journalism I can remember reading. It was just meandering bits and pieces between quotes from the team. (Not that I'm any good, but it's not my job!)

Did everyone else learn what a "manual of style" was from playing SOMI and then looking it up? 👕 I beat #Mojole #150 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 2/6 🖤💛🖤🖤💛 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Wow. Was it just me or was that article terribly written? The first two paragraphs alone felt like random disconnected points. I really didn't get the "joke" of Dave Grossman saying he didn't need convincing. And it just suddenly switched gear halfway through earnestly proclaiming how inclusive the game was going to be (was anyone concerned it was going to be offensive?). Has magazine journalism gotten worse or are my memories of 90s journalism rose-tinted from being a teenager? (Obviously the industry has been decimated by the internet, sadly ) Either way, as others have said: Really nothing earth shattering within (I deliberately zoomed in and around all the cut outs and screenshots).
