irishmile Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Yeah I wouldn't count on that figure until Lucasarts announces it... But who knows

xgfx Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 wayhay, more less than subtle hints at iPod touch/iPhone versions http://twitpic.com/9wgwq - For our Monkey fans - an iPhone sized wallpaper. No reason. Wink wink nod nod.
Fealiks Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Ah that guy has got major face structure and anatomy problems, as well as adding 'tudes on everyone. I like the color though. Major face structure and anatomy problems? Like what?
SyntheticGerbil Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Er... that sure was an overstatement. I personally hate the poster just because of the guys ****ty contemporary Deviant Art drawing style, but really just face structure problems because both Guybrush and Elaine's faces are falling off of the front of their skulls. I don't think he sectioned the face out before drawing it. Seems like he just used the stock smirky guy and girl faces everyone draws.

On the whole, though, I think that any anatomy problems are minor. I think it's a pretty cool poster.

DPB Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 The requirements are higher than I expected. They do seem a bit excessive. My computer comfortably exceeds them, but isn't MI:SE a 2d game, why does it need a proper graphics card at all? Furthermore, they're even higher than TMI's requirements, I can't imagine what this remake is doing with all that computing power.
irishmile Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 maybe because it needs to run the old and new game at the same time and be able to switch back and forth seamlessly? I honestly do not know just guessing
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 They do seem a bit excessive. Furthermore, they're even higher than TMI's requirements, I can't imagine what this remake is doing with all that computing power. Here's the TOMI system requirements... Operating system: Windows XP / Vista Processor: 2.0 GHz + (3 GHz Pentium 4 or equivalent rec.) Memory: 512MB (1GB rec.) Sound: DirectX 8.1 sound device Video: 64MB DirectX 8.1-compliant video card (128MB rec.) DirectX®: Version 9.0c or better It's higher or the same, in most cases I think (except for the gfx card, but TT recommend 128MB). Surprising they're so close, I guess, but they're pretty low specs, aren't they? The processors and RAM amount mentioned are really old... aren't they?

DPB Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 They are pretty low for a new game, but I honestly can't see what MI:SE does that couldn't be done by something as basic as a low end laptop or even a netbook. I mean, other than the higher resolution and the two graphics modes what does it do that CMI didn't?
Sven_Q45 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 So, for save I installed Steam on my other PC before tomorrow! Let´s see what the others do! I don´t want to be bound on Steam in order to play SOMI! Hey guys tomorrow! tomorrow! tomorrow! But this time BEST release ever. Do it for Thunderpeel LucasArts.
Fealiks Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Let's see if I can rack up enough points on Points2Shop (Clicky) to get a 1200 Microsoft Points card... I'm so close Can't wait to play it
Samnmax221 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I'm hoping it's up bright and early tomorrow morning. I've got an exercise I have to be at all day so sneaking home is out of the question.
Samnmax221 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 **** this, it doesn't look like it's going to be released until 1200 CST.
purple_tentacle_ Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Everyone keep in mind that with a click of the button (so they say) you can switch to the classic version (including graphics) of the game...so if it's a big deal...then play the classic version. Ya I am fine with this. It might be a little wierd and new but still. If you dont like it than play it classic.
andygeers Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Very excited about the new release today! Can't wait! I wrote up a little post about why Monkey Island is so enduring - let me know what you think!
Silvor Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Having just tried the 360 demo my first impressions are that some of it just seems almost amateurish for a lack of a better word. The way Guybrush is drawn also seems a bit amateurish. The way his arms are when facing the player for one thing. He's also so very tiny on the screen I think. The old art version also moves jerkier than the dos vga version for some reason as well. Please let somebody make the voices work with the old art for the pc version quickly! Keep in mind tough that this is just my first impressions after a few minutes of play. I might end up liking it.
El Pollo Diablo Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Getting the download right now on the 360 in the UK. Been waiting all morning for it! Woo! Back soons
DPB Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Silvor: I think we knew already that the new artwork was a bit iffy, but more importantly how is the voice acting? I expect Guybrush to be as good as ever but what about the rest of the cast?
Silvor Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 From the little I played the voices sounded fine. They're using established voice actors so I don't think there's anything to worry about.
Rapp Scallion Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Still no sign of other distribution channels for PC than Steam? Pity...
