JofaGuht Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I think the new place to explore would have to be Puerto Zapato. I wouldn't like their to be a sequel that much, but I want to SEE that place. I felt cheated when we skipped it in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediLearner Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I don't remember what Puerto Zapo is? Anyway you should also visit Onboard one of the ships. I think it would be a good idea if the game was about a new client who: Option 1: Loses his nun and have to figure a way to the 9nth underworld Option 2: You don't have any ticket and therefore must walk the 4-year journey of the soul!

JofaGuht Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Puerto Zapato is the place where the agents invaded your ship, you were supposed to get off there and search for supplies, obviously your fate atawited you at the edged of the world instead. I think your idea maybe a bit repetitive to the original, but, in the alternate universe where they would consider a sequel, it would have to have the four year aspect. In the game, I loved going back and talking to people about what went on in the missing years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyearl Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I'm not too sure about the idea of a sequel. Firstly, Manny and Meche and the little children have moved onto the next world, so it is likely that the next world is far different (something I liked about GF was the artwork and the land of the dead/jazzy influence). If you introduce new characters but same settings many people would be satisfied but lets face it, Manny is the heart and soul of Grim Fandango. People will miss him as the main character. Since quite a lot of the main cast and important characters have been killed off, it may seem kinda awkward to continue. That's all just my opinion.

Samnmax221 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I need that shady underworldd touch to the game that made it so Casablanca'ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawidos Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I'm in the group who want Grim Fandango 2. I think that sequel could change everything. With new characters and story, but in the same world we will have a great adventure game. I suppose Lucasarts will make sequel of it. Why ? I feel that.

VampireNaomi Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I had yet another odd vision... LucasArts made GF 2, but it was a first person shooting. Manny's mission was to run from room to room and shoot everything that moved. And no plot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 That sounds like what they did to D. D was this really great, creepy, puzzle/adventure game that came out on Sega Saturn/PS1/PC. It was the scariest adventure game of its time. Then dreamcast came out with a first-person-shooter sequel. Our main character never even pulled out a weapon in the first one.

Ghinn Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I had an idea for GF2: You work for the DOD. Manny's legacy lives on. People regard him as a hero. Something happens, haven't quite figured ouy what. You need to go to the ninth underworld and find Manny (you gotta do a bunch of stuff to be able to get in there: get a ticket, or maybe a visitor's pass, etc.). You meet some random person, turns out to be Manny. You gotta convince him to come back and help you out. Glottis makes an appearance (he's the man), and yes, you can visit puerto zapato. It's a work in progress. More when I think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Cool idea. So you won't ever see manny in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Although almost certain not to ever happen, it'd work best if it were set in the same world, but with a new main character. Manny has moved on, his part in this twisted tale is over. But there are many like him in the land of the dead. To make sure it still feels like it's a sequel there'd have to be plenty of tie-ins and references to Grim Fandango, such as visiting different parts of the same areas (imagine visiting a part of Rubacava we never saw before, not being able to visit any of the old places from the previous game but still see them in the distance and such). Characters who knew / knew of Manny and his comerades could also provide interesting references. For example, talking to some guy in a city could turn out to be somebody who was a regular in the late Calavera Cafe, and have some stuff to say about our previous hero. You know, stuff like that. Of course, this is all wishful thinking.. but it keeps me busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GendoTheGreat Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I'm not exactly anti-sequel, but on the other hand I'm even further from being pro-sequel. What I would like to see is the release of some kind of extended production portfolio, with concept art, music, storylines, deleted scenes etc, with maybe some posters and other bric-a-brac thrown in. An official re-release of the OST would also be nice, even better if some of the tracks that never made the original print were included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isair Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Even though I may want a sequel, I believe it won't hold as much as the first. I think the first was a terrific game which would be very difficult to attempt to make a sequel to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Limones Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Folks, there's lots of room for a "sequel". I can think of several choices for GF2. 1. Forget a sequel, do a prequel. How the hell DID LeMans get into power??? Centre it on that! Yes folks, you CAN center a game on the bad guy. Which means you could see the beginnings of Salvador Limones (God bless him), and just about every other character. 2. Run a game who's story takes place in around the same time as the first game. Maybe run it a year ahead or behind GF. That way, what Manny does in the original has a direct impact on what happens in GF2. And you can include some characters that are gone at the end of GF. 3. A sequel. Remember, there could be quite a mess to clean up after the sprouting of Hector LeMans. And what happens to the LSA? And Eva? The DOD would have to be completely restructured. Eva would make a great new main character. Cheers! Sal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Sally, I love you. I think the second idea would really rock. Heck, I think anything has the chance to rock if it's done with taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
