guybroom Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 After looking at shuteyes pictures I still say cmi would be the best but also if mi5 is 3d CELL SHADED RULES. But like I did say, the mi4 mucked my computer up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoLuigi... Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 guybroom- the graphics were not rubbish at all on mi1 and 2. in fact, those are probably my favorites for graphics. especially for the time they came out. you do know that they came out in 90-91, right? those were some pretty nice graphics for the time, i think.

pHILBRUSH Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I think CMI graphics, with MI2 look, if you know what I mean. -pHILBRUSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Toothdecay Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I'm all for MI5 in 320x240 with graphics like SMI or MI2 if it means a year less production time . CMI graphics might look nice, but what I never liked about the engine is how his feet would like slide on the ground and he would be moving real slow. (btw those Zelda pics are great, I wouldn't mind MI5 being designed like that!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphics may have been good for the time, but now they are out of date. Also the monkey island games came out in 1991? I was born in 1991 - yes I'm 12.

Demon Chuckie Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 You really think that it could be taken seriously with 13 year old graphics? It certainly wouldn't pick up any new fans and just would not sell to anyone but the hardcore (though I'd buy it). Let's be serious about this.

Shuteyes Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Demon Chuckie is right, making a game for die hard fans only is not good for merchandising, esspesially in this case. If MI5 wil look promessing enough for more people to buy it then they would no boubtably rush back to the store and get MI4 or MI3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoLuigi... Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i never said to make it in mi1/2 graphics, i know that now they're rubbish, but you have to take into account the time period they were made in. and guybroom- yeah, i didn't know they were made at that time either, i was born in '90. i was looking at a site and saw that mi1 was made in '90 and #2 in '91, i got them around '96 or '97, so i didn't know.

RoyTordesLegend Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hold on.....am I hearing this right? MI1 and MI2 had "rubbish graphics"? And whats this talk of them being "good for their time"? They'll always look great!!! MI1+MI2 have the best graphics of the series so far. Sure they may have been blocky, with a few less colours than we've become used to, but in my opinion they wiped the floor with MI3 and MI4 in one critical aspect....atmosphere. In MI3, Guybrush looked just a tad too goofy, and in MI4 he lacked a lot of detail. I dunno, it might just be nostalgia, but I reckon older games just have the edge atmospherically. To me the lack of cutting edge technology seemed to make the developers take a lot more time making the scenes interesting, rather than just looking 'smooth'. MI1 was and is my opinion the best game ever. I really must get round to using the graphics from MI1+MI2 it to make a totally illegal and un-lucasarts friendly 'proper' MI3..... Anyway, peace to you all.....its been a long night...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyTordesLegend Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 ...in fact I'm off to play MI1 now (I just hope that memory removal system worked so I can forget how to play the game, and thus enjoy it more.........err why am I here - and who are you guys?)

Alia Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 The price of forgetting the MI1 puzzles: waking up next to a hundred MI gamers in a forum and being mightily confused. Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 That image at the top of this page is the closest I've seen to MI with modern graphics. Something I really didn't like the cartoony depiction of the characters in MI 3 & 4. When we see the closeup of a few characters in the original, that's how I'll always imagine them. When I first saw Guybrush in MI3 I knew I wouldn't like it. The Guybrush of 3 & 4 still don't seem like the same character. I also hated the "comic" voices (oh my goodness, this pirate bombing my mansion has a New York accent! Comedy gold! ) The humour is in what is being said, not how it is being said. Well, that's my rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 only if they need to make it like any other game then i would say like CMI .. because CMI has graphics like MI1+2, only a few year more development in it ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea_cucumber Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Everything should look like CMI. Especially Guybrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernil Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Though the style of MI1 and MI2 were not the most advanced, I think (with all my heart) that MI5 should follow the path set by these two games. Even with those pixels so easily visable, those are the most wonderful, loveable pixles ever to be set together. MI3 is also very amusing, but I hope they steer away from the MI4 way. I may seem a bit too strong with my opinion, but If Guybrush could die, it would so greatly bring down the game that I would have trouble finding the motivation to finish it.

Miss Sixty Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I really think Guybrush was a little hottie in mi2... nah just kiddin =)... But he should have the beard as almoste everyone else thinks ... And it should be eeehhh.. I dunno bout the grafics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazymatt Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 as long as they bring back the use of mouse instead of having to play with the keyboard or joystick, i have no problem with 3d ghaphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lina Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I would love MI5 to look like CMI. The cartoon-y feel made the game a little more hilarious, in my opinion. I didn't have a problem with Guybrush's looks, either. But since I know that they'll probably never revert back to that, cell-shaded is good, too.

spoonmonkey Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 he should look like monkey 2 guybrush but cel shaded and should not be able 2 die because LEC got enough people angry by changing the play mechanics for EMI and should have the pickup/lookat scumm interface of SOMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernil Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Though they have great stories and such, I still do not get a thrill out of the Kings Quest games. Most of the reason, I believe, is because you can die (and WAY too easily.) One of the main motivations of Ron Gilbert (so I hear) to make these games is because he wanted and loved the idea of an Adventure Game where your character couldn't die. It would make it less fun, considering that the whole time, you would have to stay on your toes, making sure not to do anything death-defying or at least a bit dangerous. Consider in MI2: when the cook chases you around with a butchers knife. If he could actually catch up to you and kill you, the humor of that clip would be much less amusing. Also, consider the game "Loom." If (with the CD version, full sound and all) you try to go through the giant whirlpool/tornado in the middle of the sea, Bobbin screams the funniest scream ever to be heard on any game, ever. My buds and I will sit alone and listen to him do it, time after time. Now, if Bobbin died after each of these attempts at going through the whirlpool, all fun of it (and accidental humor) would go. The ridiculousness of the games is what makes them what they are. Just a though, Farewell, Ernil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boem26 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 i think it should be like MI3 but guybrush should look like in MI2. with the beard and the cool coat Also: NO monkey combat. that was stupid. INSULT SWORDFIGHTING!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
