the late D. Hurley Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am under a lot of pressure due to university exams right now - when this popped up in my newsfeed, all that weight was briefly lifted. I am so, SO happy to see this being made - let's just hope we'll get it on PC as well. Now excuse me while I lean back, close my eyes and listen to some "Mr. Frustration man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3mo Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Oh GOD YES. I spotted an unseen concept art in the E3 video. Finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Oh my God, I never thought I'd live to see this day. I just might have to invest in a PS4 or Vita just because of this. Holy damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Tim Schafer's Twitter : "Talk about other platforms soon! Sony's been a great help making this happen & we're excited to be working with them on the console version!" Had to cancel my grimFandago 4, eh ps 4 order.. phew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 @Sallim That's a relief! If I'm going to buy a new console, I'd rather it be a Wii U. Other than the awesome GF news, it's great to see that so many old faces showed up in this thread right away. I guess one's love of Grim Fandango never dies.

CikMatt Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 We're going to have actual new fans here soon that bought it from a store and everything. Maybe this'll get the stop-mo opening project going again, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 When I saw the news I had to check the calendar. I thought it was June, but it felt more like April Fool's Day. I suppose whether or not it comes to PC (or Mac, too) will depend on how well it does on the initial platforms. Grim Fandango has always been rated critically very highly, although that didn't translate into high sales when first released. I guess we'll see if 16 years of hype leads to better results this time around. (And if they manage to get all those damned elevator doors working properly.)

ultraneonoirantihero Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm hoping they've watched this video and got some ideas: (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CikMatt Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 2 Player Productions has a interesting short look at the game and it's upcoming rerelease: (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) I think the most interesting thing is Tim saying the team didn't get along so well towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Tuakin Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 What I would really like to see is some merchandise to go along with the release, hopefully something like a statue of Manny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I got the statue they did of Eddie Riggs for brutal legend which is epic so hopefully we will see something/anything for grim fandango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already got a statue of Manny. Well, the little bendy thing that doesn't look even remotely like Manny. But, still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The retrospective is great! Even the HD version was mentioned Maaaaan so awesome =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 And Tim seemed to be saying that they were going to be making use of Residual. That would be cool since the open source license requires that any bug fixes and improvements they make have to be shared with the project. Which won't make Residual into a stealth remastering of GF for PC/Mac, but it should make Residual's GF support much better much more quickly. Now I understand why Tim seemed so obsessed with picking out Residual bugs when he was playing GF for the cameras recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the late D. Hurley Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've already got a statue of Manny. Well, the little bendy thing that doesn't look even remotely like Manny. But, still. I found this little home made thingamajig at the local equivalent of craigslist for 5 euros about a week ago - just before the announcement. Funny how these things happen. I do hope for some extra merchandise though. I'd love a model of the bone wagon with Manny and Glottis Gotta add a tie to that some day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Gotta add a tie to that some day... Unless that's supposed to be the sailor suit. Hard to say. Looks more like pajamas than a suit. I guess that would be OK. He's dead, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvek Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I was also very excited when I heard this, in fact I can't remember anything else that came out of E3 after hearing about the remake. The PS4/Vita exclusivity doesn't bother me, it will come to PC eventually. I'd rather have Grim exclusive to PS4 for a while than it being left buried in Disney's basement forever. In fact, I believe that it was probably only by using the leverage of Sony that Tim Schafer and DF managed to convince them to licence Grim at all. Now I eagerly await the release date and the merchandise (where the real money is made) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
