neon_git Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Good lord, I'm also speechless. I wonder what the control scheme will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diduz Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I am happy because LucasArts remembered its legacy, but I don't understand why they picked the Xbox 360. Adapting the game for the Wii should be easier, because of the control scheme. Good news anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Posting this on the front page. Hopefully, if true, 360 won't be the only platform, because that just wouldn't make any sense. On the other hand, when has LucasArts made sense in the last decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Graffiti Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 At long last, finally LucasArts have done something right for a change Not really. They'll probably screw up the game with added bathroom related humor. (Example: Escape from Monkey Island) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPeel2001 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I don't want to bring down the excitement levels, but it's going to suck and we all know it: It'll either be put together by some unknown low budget 3rd party, in a new "3D format" without Dominic Armato and new dialogue/bad music/ looking wrong OR It'll be some cruddy up-scaled version of the old 256 colour version. Either way, what's the point? It isn't going to please the fans any. I hope I'm wrong... but I expect all LucasFans should get ready for another down-pouring of ~%@$ from their favourite company.

Icebox Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This whole debacle raises the question: "Would it have been better to have loved and lost, than to see one's ex shamble back as a mindless zombie?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 All I can say is...better than nothing...hope they expand this to other adventures at least (if they don't move it to PC)...Grim Fandango *crossing fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon_git Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This whole debacle begs the question: "Would it have been better to have loved and lost, than to see one's ex shamble back as a mindless zombie?" I would've preferred a world without Monkey Island 4 if that's what you mean. It raises the question, it doesn't beg the question. Begging a question is more specific than just raising a question. /pedantry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ordinarily I'd agree, it doesn't matter in the least, however Icebox seems to be a fan of logical fallacies and sounding educated (see about a third of the way down the comments) so I thought they'd appreciate it. I don't really want to get too much into this, but you mentioned that I got it wrong. I didn't think you could beg the question without raising a question, or at least without re-raising the same question. For example, if say "EMI sucks because it's crap." it raises the question "So why is EMI crap?". Have I got the wrong end of the stick here? Sorry for being off topic.

Icebox Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sorry About that, next time I'll double check. Whatever blunder Lucas Arts commits will never surpass the horror of EMI, but this news still doesn't bode well. Probably the most likely outcome would be a Germany exclusive release, considering the high adventure market over there, but if it is released or announced in USA or Britain, I wouldn't underestimate them... I mean, look what happened to Zork. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I hope it does since I have a 360. Maybe there will be a couple of extra features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samnmax221 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'm going to say it here and now. EMI wasn't that bad, compared to almost all of Lucasarts recent work its pretty good, compared to most games its pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagomorph01 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'm going to say it here and now. EMI wasn't that bad, compared to almost all of Lucasarts recent work its pretty good, compared to most games its pretty good. It wasn't a bad game. It was just a bad MONKEY ISLAND game. If they had used the story with a different theme and lead characters I'd actually enjoy replaying it and I'd probably consider it their last classic. Now it's just something I'd like to forget, because they wanted to make a popular franchise game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
