Guest The Feral Chicken Posted April 4, 2001 Share Posted April 4, 2001 OK, let's sum up the Grim2 scenario, shall we? The Case For: It's Grim Fandango, for God's sake! The original GF had very strong characters GF is very sturdy and still THE benchmark Adventure game GF is one of the classiest, sophisticated games around The Case Against: Grim Fandango is a standalone game with a good solid ending The lead designer (Tim Schafer) has left LucasArts LucasArts are now known for ****ing up sequels good and proper If 'Escape From Monkey Island' is anything to go by, a GF2 would spoil the game Manny is gone We need more original games LucasArts would probably lose the sophistication and just go for humour...which would seriously suck Most people don't want a sequel Basically, there are more reasons NOT to have a Grim Fandango 2 than reason to have one. I think LucasArts should try making some more original adventure games instead of using old liscences as cash-cows (examples are Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Monkey Island) ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lechuck13 Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 another point is that the keyboard controls suck compared to the old point-and-click. i know that's just my opinion, but so was much of the stuff you wrote (eg, THE benchmark advanture game? you've gotta be kidding!) Everything else i though of has already been covered. ------------------ "That's the second biggest monkey head I've ever seen!" -Guybrush Threepwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tull Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 You forgot a major point for: Glottis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrik Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 Glottis would be ruined in a second game because his character is like really attached to Manny, and with Manny gone Glottis would be different........like. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tull Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 It's called character development Thripweed and there's nothing at all wrong with it. As long as the change is convincing, it's perfectly fine for a character to become different. Wouldn't it be boring if he was exactly the same anyway?

Gfan Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 ok manny is gone but there were lots of questions left like... what did he do in the first place? how did he die? not to mention a pre-quel option to show how domino even got to be on top.i think that a good story line would be for many to be given an assignment from the powres that be go back and fix the damage that was done by the corrupt members of the dod! as for glottis ...he could be tracked down bymanny anfd they could be the team they were in the first game. i think it would add alot of depth to the first game story by visiting the past and showing how these characters came to be. ------------------ gilbert cruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiKo Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 well, they could do a game that has nothing to do with Grim Fandango. diferent name, diferent characters. BUT same graphics and the story could happen in the land of the dead. that way it wont ruin the GF story, and we'll get to visit the land of the dead again ------------------ the original NiKo.

Guest The Feral Chicken Posted September 29, 2001 Share Posted September 29, 2001 Yes, NiKo's idea probably is the best...possibly you play Meché? It would certainly make sense. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly make sense. i know i wouldnt like the game if Meche was the main character. i didnt like her very much to be honest. as i said NEW characters. perhaps a whole new Time era in the land of the dead. ------------------ the original NiKo.

Guybrush122 Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 ahem, it wouldnt make any sense if you played as Meche.......she is gone with manny......remember ------------------ RIP Bradley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiKo Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 i think he ment at that one year she was lost. glottis could still be there, he could be the mayan king of the small mini glotis's ------------------ the original NiKo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
