chaoskid Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I was just playing the games the other day, and yes i love them all to death. but i think i would like to see the next game more in the type of style that was CMI. I really liked the animation and thought it was a luagh out loud riot and as much as i liked EMI i wasn't a fan of the big blockie 3d characters. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same.

Alien426 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I doubt you are alone with that view. I for one thought EMI looked worse than Grim Fandango although it used the same engine and was released after Grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Grim was intended to look like it did, and with good effect. I agree with chaoskid, I would like it in the style of CMI, it had a decent style to it. And congrats on playing them all again, i make a habit of playing the first 2 at least once every 3 months, usually because I'm bored (and I have them both on my USB pen drive along with ScummVM, so i can play them almost anywhere, including Uni) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawaJoey Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Grim Fandango looked nice, just a little rough around the edges. EMI was much cleaner, and I for one loved the style. It was somehwat of an unrealistic, cartoony style of 3D which suited the game well. I really liked how it looked, but I can't make a judgement if I like it more of less than CMI.

Nachladius Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 lol, I always preferred the styles of 1 and 2. sure, the graphics are crap by today's standards, but they just seemed so much funnier.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I know the graphics are'nt up to todays standards but the comedy will live forever. OK I'm all tearing up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omloflump Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I love the old graphics, they were quite charming. I even prefer them to the other two, they had more atmosphere and subtlety, especially some of the animations where he puts things in his pants. Those sorts of animations made the games great, which is why EMI was even more dissapointing, there was literally no animation at all, everybody was stiff awkward and when Guybrush put stuff in his pants they just dissapeared! But I did prefer how Guybrush looked in EMI then CMI, where was too tall and he had a disgustingly elongated face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes o' pot Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Yes I preferred the graphic style of the first two games. It's all a matter of preference but I just love the character models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megacles Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Yeah, the first two games were filled to the brim with atmosphere. You felt like you could actually visit those places. This was lost when they made the switch from realistic to cartoon. The games no longer felt like a place that I could actually visit. I want that atmosphere back. I miss it.

GregD Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 EMI was too plasticy looking... cmi although nice is too low detail for todays standards. LEC need to aim for something like CMI but alot higher in detail with more of the charm of mi2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell do you mean too low in detail Do you mean resoloution or what? cause 2D graphics don't get much better than CMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megacles Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The style was cartoony and stylised, not realistic and detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
