GendoTheGreat Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I've changed my stance on Grim Fandango 2 since I first completed the original game, and I'm going to say no to all three. GF is perfect as it is. In my opinion sequels, no matter how faithful, would kill the magic dead. But that's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Shutt Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 My answer to this question has always been "no". Now that Tim Schafer is no longer at LucasArts, change that to a "hell no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaXeriaw Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Right after I finished GF, I believed that Lucas Arts already was ready with a sequel, but when Tim Schafer left Lucas Arts, that crashed all my dreams about another perfect game... But there's still a little hope.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I'm neutral on it, really. On one hand, I'd hate to see a sequel. The original was a perfect masterpiece and needs nothing more to continue the story. The story was closed, there's no way to continue the story with Manny, really. And using another character would just suck. However, I'd also love to see a sequel because it would boost the community around here dramatically and give me something to be excited about. A third or fourth game? Jesus.. no. They'd be pressed to find a non-crappy way to continue the story as it is. Nevermind keeping it going over another two games in addition to that.

Sanspoof Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I don't really give a flying fudge. Yes, a GF2 would be brilliant, although without Manny it would seem to suck a little, but there's a little dead dust round here and we need something new to be excited about. However, yes, there is a massive chance that they'll sever the brilliance and art off the entire series by making a sequel, but does it matter? It doesn't change the first one much does it?

pleto4_ryan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 A grim fandango 2 can be made brilianty if they make a prequel showing manny's life before the start of the original. Showing when he came, how he got the job, we would do some of his missions...see much more el marrow and then be part in the times when manny was thrown by domino.... I found it dazzing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaXeriaw Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 A prequel will suck! If they create a prequel, Glottis wouldn't be your friend, but only a normal deamon, and that will ruin the humor in the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 The "mysterious" elements are what make games rule. Such as the first two Monkey Island games - Who is this guy? How did he get here? When people try explaining these mysteries, things start sucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnxiousApe Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Like Thrik said, the story's over. Manny saved the day and now he's moved on. I don't see how they could bring him back without some stupid explanation. Of course, I'd love a sequel, but only if it's a good storyline. With lots of Glottis appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "mysterious" elements are what make games rule. Such as the first two Monkey Island games - Who is this guy? How did he get here? absolutely, but manny's mysterie is only how he ended in DOD. Of course the main plot could be him to find out how he ended in that position and in the end never finding the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawidos Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I like Grim Fandango very much . And I have been waiting for its sequel for five years. And GF2 must be sequel ,not prequel. So I think that Manny nad Meche should come out with Grim Fandango 2. But I don't think so that GF 3 and G4 will rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aranolorion Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 would you make a sequel to Casablanca? you sick, sick man, you. ergo - i dont want to see a sequel. its a great game as it is, very sweet, and should be left to stand as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawidos Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Why did you call me sick man ? It's just only my opinion. Maybe you have another , but I think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleto4_ryan Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Grim fandango 2 was always a dream for me.... but let's be realistic...3 and 4? are not just dreams, they are non-effective.. ---------------------------------- why do you think grim fandango 2 shall be so bad??? As mentioned with good ways of using it it can be a masterpiece.... Just saying no because you don't want the first to be messed...is not so healthy, is it? The first cannot and will never be meesed up... I don't accept the wrong feeling that when a sequel of a movie games sucks then the original loose something...that's just childish...

Glottiscane Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 First of all, Lucasarts is full of smart people, and i beleive if there was anything reallly important in Manny's past that couldn't have been inferred, Grim Fandango™1 would have been about his past, and GF2 would be about the whole meche dealie. A reason though, that GF2 won't really work is its a huge risk for lucasarts. GF1 didnt make a huge bank. Sure, it has its following. its one of my favorite games, but it could be a lot of money to make game2 wasted--and I want Lucasarts to contiue makin those good ol adventure games. Pretty Much what I'm trying to say is that all of us want to continue adventuring with Manny and Glottis, but its not likely to happen...unless someone with a lot of free time makes a kickass fangame.

pleto4_ryan Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Well it could be named Grim Fandango 0 ....... em...correct me if i am wrong but i thought that the game was profit for lucasarts... In america it was disaster but in europe and the other countries it sell so good it erazed the very bad time in america... -------------- Oh and.... Where do you find those wonderful smileys???

Glottiscane Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 ur asking me???? click the [get more] link under the smilies box on the left of the screen and they're there somewherez. Anyway, I DO really like the way Grim Fandango ended, and i personally wouldn't mind if they don't try to add anything, just in case its dumb.

SalvadorLimones Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I would have to agree with some folk on this post because the game is allready so good that almost any attempt at making another one would not be as good. On the other hand I would love to see it continue even though the plot was concluded at the end of the game. Maybe a prequle? I think not but I would like to see it only if it was somehow made as good as the rest. Cheers Keep Fighting the Good Fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushmeister Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 For me, no Tim Schafer = no to a sequel, especially when there is really no need for the story to continue. If LucasArts tried to carry on without the main maestro like they did with Monkey Island, the games would probably still be fun, but nowhere near as good as the orignal and a sequel would just cheapen the first game, just like CMI cheapened the ending of LCR which Ron Gilbert had made.

Glottiscane Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Hey, now. There was no need to cheapen the ending of Lechuck's Revenge™. It was already pretty cheap. In my opinion, Curse os Monkey Island™ was the best game of all. Lechuck's Revenge™ was the worst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyW Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well, I'm undecided. I once thought that I really want a sequel, and had some ideas even (like the train breaking down, and glottis dissappering so you can't find him, but it just doesn't work). The ending is the best ending ever made, and no other game can reach that quality in my opinion. Of course, making the sequel without Tim would be unthinkable, it's out of the question! Tim is making Psychonuats right now, which is part platform part adventure and has a great concept, and makes me wish I had an XBox (cause it's only coming out on Xbox. damn microsoft). In any case if Tim ever makes a GF2 with his new company, and particularly because he has another idea, no oter reason, then I fully trust him to make it just as good, or perhaps better? Nah, that's impossible, nothing is better than GF . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
