BoneMaster Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 If there will be Monkey 5 I think they should draw(model) characters better. Also they should change the inventory because it's pretty slow to use. Old good CMI style inventory is best. What are your opinions. ------------------ They don't call me the Bone Master for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush UK Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 to use the CMI style inventory properly, you really need a mouse. & the character models are ok... its the skins that need touching up... every skin except Guybrush, Elaine & LeChuck seemed to have been rendered in a very low res, especially for cutscenes (look at pegnose's eyes) ------------------ LUA Bar...

Eladamri Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 I would prefer a really large game. What about 4 DVD discs? ------------------ "How can any Human hope to match our skills?

FreakyBob Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 I would also prefer a really large game. I was expecting 4 disks for EscapeMI, but only go two. 4 or more disks for 5 would be nice. Plus I'd like the style and overall look of the game to go back to the comic/kinda gothic style/look of MI2. Also bring back the two difficulty levels, with the hard difficulty level offering more puzzles and more locations to explore. ------------------ "I Trust You About As Far As I Can Throw Manhattan!"

Purple Tentacle Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 Definitly bring back mouse control for MI5. I like the 3D look of EMI though, something like that in MI5 without the jagged edges would be rather excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tull Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 Mouse control needs to be brought back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbMonkey Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 Bring back the freakin mouse definitely! MI series is an adventure game and there is absoultey no reason to use a gamepad or keybord to control the game!!! I want my rodent!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarEye Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 I'd wish they brought back the mouse controls too. Keyboard and/or joypad controlled characters are for action-adventure games. Not Graphics-adventure games. Also, I'd love to see Guybrush's Indy Jones-style outfit in Monkey Island 2 to be brought back. And personally, I'd wish they had made Monkey Island IV an "made-up-monkey-adventure-game". I mean, a side story. Monkey IV didn't feel like a continuation of the trilogy, but like a sidekick with the same characters. Why not make an additional Monkey Island Series. For example one title could be: Monkey Island Memoirs - The Herman Toothrot Story or Monkey Island Memoirs - LeChuck's advice to evil-zombie-ghost-pirate-wannabes Wouldn't that be cool? ------------------ If only we had as much graphic adventure games as Star Wars Games!!

Guybrush UK Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 i can see it now... when the MI series finishes in about 750 years from now (ok, exagerating...), LEC <font size=1>(still run by the immortal George, who will be sustained in a fluid tank & wheeled around by a cyborg Rick McCallum)</font> will release a 'Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood' special edition, with every MI game stored on whatever storage media (Holo-disks ) ------------------ LUA Bar...

Lechuck13 Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 1st point: they should change guybrush's look a bit, cause he didn't look quite right in mi4. hearing guybrush's (dominic's) voice coming out of this fat, misshapen is still giving me nightmares. 2nd point: the rotating inventory HAS to go. I think CMI got eh inventory perfect. 3rd point: go back to the mouse. it might have worked for GF, but for a comedic adventure that requires specific timing for a number of the jokes, we need the speed that only a point-and-click interface can provide. 4th point: Make the game HUGE! defintiely 4 CD's or more. not DVD's though, because lots of people don't have DVD players yet, and lost still won't by the time MI5 comes out. 5th point: i agree with not being able to choose difficulty levels, but they should eliminate the easy level, not the hard level. MI4 was too easy. 6th point: my fingers are tired from typing. i'm stopping now. ------------------ "That's the second biggest monkey head I've ever seen!" -Guybrush Threepwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreakyBob Posted December 13, 2000 Share Posted December 13, 2000 I think LA changed the controls because I think they intend to release the game on to other console formats. And maybe they were kinda trying to be like final fantasy, in a way. ------------------ "I Trust You About As Far As I Can Throw Manhattan!"

Guest ZeroXcape Posted December 13, 2000 Share Posted December 13, 2000 To reply to Bone's first comment, I think Monkey Island 1 & 2 had the best inventory system. I really liked all the possible commands. If LucasArts could make a SCUMM Engine mixed with some 3D, I think it'd be very popular. ------------------ ZeroXcape EMI.com Webmaster zeroxcape@escapemi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty Posted December 13, 2000 Share Posted December 13, 2000 Yeah, I reckon they should definately make it a HUGE long adventure game where you sail to heaps of different islands. It would be the ultimate MI adventure. Also it should have alot of action sequences in it like at the start of CMI with the canon. One other excellent improvement would be if it was more aimed towards the adults. With a bit of adult humour and some good violence. I loved the end of MI2 when Le Chuck fell to pieces! Also, with the fact about model and detail improvement, Guybrush should grow a Goatee like in MI2 (by now u probably know that MI2 was my favourite MI) And if they have a bad guy besides LeChuck, they should be REALLY REALLY EVIL, hopefully not another ozzie (like myself) Well I think that wraps up what i need to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eladamri Posted December 13, 2000 Share Posted December 13, 2000 Something like LeChuck's evil twin brother who was lost by birth. ------------------ "How can any Human hope to match our skills?

FreakyBob Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 In case you didn't know, LeChuck IS Guybrush's brother. Though the full facts of this matter have been lost in time and no one is really sure whether he is or not? ------------------ "I Trust You About As Far As I Can Throw Manhattan!"

Tull Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 No, LeChuck is not Guybrush's brother. He used to be when Gilbert was in charge, but this fact was 'dissappeared' by subsequent authors because they thought it was cheesy and over complicated matters.

monkeymaster Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 I think that the game should be absolutly HUGE. Not so much as dvd cause some fans dont have a dvd, but make it so theres like 2-3 cds per stage. It should be like gran-turismo how it takes forever to finish (not the car racing part of it though) it should take them about 4 years to make and then you would ahve to play it for ages to pass and by the time youve finished theyve brought out another one. Not so much as in dificulty level but a bit harder than MI4. They should make instead of difficulty level a lot more things to do to get a certain object. You should also be able to go to many more island and explore a lot more too. Its......... Pink Guybrush Threepwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush UK Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 but quality suffers when the game is huge! ------------------ LUA Bar... Whats a LUA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tull Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 It'll take a miracle to get Ron back. In all likelihood, he'll never touch a MI game again. As for adventures, you won't see them becoming much longer than they are... adventures are lavish games to make, needing plenty of effort to go into voices, art and design. To make one that takes as long to finish as Gran Tourismo 2 would be totally impractical due to production costs. That said, MI4 was a bit short, wasn't it? MI5 will probably be longer than that. Appears that Stemmle and Clark just ran out of top notch jokes so they just cut it short while things were still going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 In my opinion, MI4 lacked on humor. Anyone really laughed once when talking to Meathook or Murray? They just seemed to be in the game to not completely lose the MI feeling. Or does anyone really wish one new character to appear in MI5 (except Timmy the monkey *s*)? Ozzie Mandrill, Pegnose Pete, Marco di Pollo... I think Lucas Arts did a great job with most of the backgrounds, but the characters were kinda boring. Also some locations were disappointing. I laughed out loud when I first saw "Planet Threepwood" on a screenshot, but when I arrived there in the game, I noticed, that the designers didn't manage at all to use the humoristic potential of such a place. 3 or 4 pieces of MI memorabila like some clothes or a Lucas Arts mug... is that all?? I really hope, that the storywriters of MI5 just reinstall and replay MI1 and 2 to remind themselves what a high standard they have to reach, to make the game worthy to continue the best adventure game ever written. --- sorry for my english...
