Scapetti Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I can't really be bothered to go through 14 pages (especially when it might have been on the telltale forums) but the split second the leak guy goes into the carpenters place... notice the doorway... I believe someone mentioned how it didn't make sense for it to just be sea outside and it looks like they fixed it like the whole roots thing
MusicallyInspired Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Voodoo priest is completely botched. First thing I've actually been really disappointed about and wish they'd change.
ThunderPeel2001 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Largo's voice isn't TERRIBLE - but he doesn't sound threatening, either. I always imagined him sounded a little slimier, too.
SyntheticGerbil Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 That background of LeChuck's lair looks so awesome even if they added a tad bit of wonkiness! The characters... you know, whatever.
Thrik Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Seems to me like they've adjusted LeChuck's posture. He's leaning back a bit more naturally now instead of having that silly action figure pose.
Snugglecakes Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I like LeChuck in this new screenshot, I really do. One of the better ones in my opinion.
eLGee Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 I do soooo want this game now! I even resurrected my 7-year old account here for it. Gives it to us!
ThunderPeel2001 Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Hmmm. Well they side-stepped what was supposed to be written on those signs by just making them.......... arrows. Hmmm. Doesn't look anywhere near as spooky as I remember the original version of this screen looking. Far too bright and stage-like. Once again it's lacking in beauty. The quality does seem to vary a bit with these backgrounds
SyntheticGerbil Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 It was probably a placeholder type graphic then, I'm guessing. Either that or someone in QA asked for it to be fixed. Makes me happy though.
ThunderPeel2001 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 As with the previous one, I'm not comparing it with the original, just taking it on its own merit, and it's just lacking in any real beauty again. So weird that some of the backgrounds have been so great (the Booty Island stuff springs to mind) while some look really soulless, like this one. What specifically is wrong with it? It's hard for me to put my finger on, but I'd guess it's the lack of atmosphere and style. There's a "cleaness" to it that just feels hollow, and the harsh lighting (just look at the shadow on the floor underneath the bellows -- it doesn't look anything like the shadow cast by a candle) takes away from the atmosphere. But it's probably something else, which I'm unable to articulate. I'm sure some of you will like it, though.
Remi Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 The original definitely had more of a gritty look to it, and it could be argued they should have gone more in that direction with the SE, but you know... I'm kinda OK with them doing their own thing. Maybe it's because I don't feel like they could out-Purcell-and-Chan Purcell and Chan, or maybe it's just because I want to see something different. Either way, I kind of like what they're doing here.
Jake Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 What's the difference? In the shot on the left it looks like he's in the middle of an animation...
Thrik Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 The one on the left is from the official MI2:SE site and appeared to be his idle stance, if you hang around for a while you'll see it. Unless they mistakenly used the wrong sprite before they've definitely fine-tuned it so he has that more dishevelled look from MI2.
Aububuh Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Not sure if this is the right place for it, but the Lucasarts Twitter picture is now the cat from Hit The Road. http://twitter.com/lucasartsgames
elTee Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Hmmm. Hit the Road would be a logical title for LEC to work on next, given their friendliness with Telltale. Or maybe it's just an avatar
MusicallyInspired Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 What's the difference? In the shot on the left it looks like he's in the middle of an animation... Actually, I think it's the other way around. The right shot looks like he's leaning back slightly. Which could be a frame from his talking animation when he bobs back and forth.
