cimerians Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If this turns into fact then the 360 will be my new and preferred system. (I like the Wii and especially the PS3 for its features and some games etc) Possible Monkey Island on Xbox Live If it does become fact then I can only assume that we have gamers deciding on what comes to XBLA and not idiots.

moycon Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I hope this does turn out to be true. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the other LucasFilm games available as well. (With achievements no less!!) Back in the day I would play these for hours on my C64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Oh definitely, I hope they come out with more than just Monkey Island. I loved all those Lucasarts adventure games. Maniac Mansion Sam n' Max Day of the Tentacle Full Throttle The Dig Loom Did I mention everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elw00d Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If this is true I will be overjoyed. Cimerians, I loved all of those titles you mentioned. Weren't the Indy games LucasArts as well? Who knows, maybe they could do all of the titles eventually if they use a SCUMM engine. I would love a So you want to be a Hero remake on the 360 (if it is a SCUMM deal). And even some of the Sierra games as well. I know I am dreaming, but let me dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Zak....I am ashamed. I also forgot the Indiana Jones games too. More shame. I'm with Elw00d, bring on Kings Quest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimerians Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 I wish Full Throttle had a sequel....that was one of the best games they made. They were all good. "You fight like a dairy farmer.

Atariman Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm pretty excited about being able to play The Secret of Monkey Island on the 360, but since when did Guybrush start looking like Conan O'Brien? (His hair is HUGE in the artwork at the webpage linked to above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 LOL I was thinking the same thing. The Ron Gilbert interview I posted above mentions something like that. He kindly remarks that he envisioned things to look different and not like the sequels after part 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 And so... Lucasarts now wants to consider re-releasing their old games but only if people buy them. Wow, took them a while to figure out that we can also enjoy stuff other than Star Wars. http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/18/lucasart...ames-if-you-wa/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math You Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I love it when the re-make old games in hi-def. Makes me want to buy an Xbox 360. There's some screenshots here: http://e3.gamespot.com/image_viewer/621060..._below;thumb;17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I agree that it looks much prettier but... I am having some serious trouble getting over how ridiculously stupid Guybrush looks. I really, REALLY dislike his design. I'm usually pretty tolerant of that sort of thing, but I'm pretty underwhelmed by what they've done with him.

cimerians Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah he looks pretty crappy. Everything else is pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elw00d Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 It is available now for 800 points. I am downloading the trial right now and I will probably unlock the full game soon after I give it a quick look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) The graphics upgrade is horrible....especially Guybrush and Marley....I think some graphics arts company in Singapore did it according to the end credits. Sorry people but it sucks. I switched to the old graphics almost about an hour into gameplay although I would switch back and forth once in a while to check the voice acting. Sadly they had the same actors do different characters and you can tell. Also, Lucasarts like a few other corporations is now listing the ENTIRE company in the end credits, inluding Human Resources. Do we really need that?? Oh well, there's a nice message at the end and you can play it in classic mode so I would have to give it a thumbs up.

CGQuarterly Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I think I'll save the $10 and just play the game on my DOS machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
