Allright thank you!
I think I'm gonna buy this one! Play it on Vita may be very good aswell!
Edit: I really hate how we don't have 5 dollars pre-paid card for PSN. Thats just ridiculous.

As a Resident Evil veteran I'm pretty sure I can nail this one easily.
Absolutely. Tank controls are directly tied into the area and enemy design of Resident Evil. Grim Fandango is an adventure game with practically no timed elements so it doesn't matter either way.

It's true! I started with the "new" controls in REmake, but had to switch to tank controls a couple of hours in.
I've played with tank controls plenty of times, but of curiosity I tried the new controls in the remake for about an hour, and they are fucking awful. You can't even run straight down a corridor so it just completely fucks up your movement when you change direction after changing an angle. Its just awful.

Survival horror and tank controls go hand in hand for me, I always use the option when they are available, used them also in the Silent Hill HD collection, I tried the newer 3D controls mode and it just didn't flow right for me.

Assuming you're going to exhaust every conversation option with every character:
"Gets the aggression out, doesn't it?"
"Scaring the living is technically against the rules, but we all do it."
"ARROGANT FRAUD doesn't work."
"It shone, pale as bone..."
"Here, let me hold that metal detector while you cry."
"ME, ME, ME-ME-ME"
"Stop showing off for the girl."
"Oh, Lola..."
"Manuel, Is Everything OK?"
EDIT: From the other thread:
Agreed. I don't even really remember any action or timing based stuff, maybe one or two puzzles, but 99% of the time you can take all the time you want, and you're not going to fall off ledges or anything.
Yeah, like I said in the other thread you can just make lots of manual saves anyway. As these all seem like very minor easter egg type stuff.
Damn, very specific, thank you.

Those people ruin their own gaming experiences over trophies on a regular basis, this is nothing new and not Double Fine's making.
If you ask me, the chuckle I experienced reading that trophy's description is worth the hassle those fools are going to put themselves through.
I might be one of those fools.
The only new control scheme in the game is point and click which for the genre is an older control scheme. Tank vs what you call modern was always an option in the original. I still chose tank then.
Can we stop calling camera relative movement modern. Its existed as long as tank, it was always a development choice. This choice doesnt matter much for this game though as its not action based but personally fixed camera angles are easiest to navigate with tank.

I could be wrong but I am under the impression that initially, the 3D games that used static cinematic cameras placed throughout the environments (such as Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, Bioforge, etc.) all featured tank controls and camera relative movement was only introduced to that type of game later.

That's one trophy I won't be getting.
I don't give a flying f*** about trophies.

I wonder if there's a "180" command in tank mode...

It's not like Grim's controls were bad or anything, just a bit too slow for my tastes. if you want to play the game with tank controls you'll have a good time, it's what the game was designed around.

For some reason this makes me really excited to play this game.

Never played this but love Tims other games. Am I in for a treat?
It's better than every Double Fine release so I'd say so.

Bold claim. Can't wait.
I agree. The main weakness was probably the slow turning speed, but I never found the controls to be as awkward or prohibitive as others did.
I'd guess that the Remastered version will either:
a) have the point and click interface as the default, or
b) ask the player which interface he/she wants, while recommending PnC for new players

What's the story in this game like? Really looks extremely interesting. Is there a plot twist of sorts? Are the characters good?

I guess there might be some spoilers in the link but it has a platinum and also this
Its a gold as well.
Well that's pretty silly.
For a lot of people this trophy reads as "Enjoy this game less because I say so!"

It's easily Tim's best work, writing-wise. You'll probably love it.
god forbid they have to go through the struggle of adapting to a game's control scheme

No PS3 version. It is crossbuy between PS4/Vita

. I can't actually think of a good reason not to have a PS3 version. Oh well, Vita's good enough and I'll probably get a PS4 someday.Shift Breaker

Got my hopes up there. There's a page up already on the web store and the PS4 but no purchase option. Either it was up briefly and your friend got it at the right time or you're friends with Tim Schafer and you had no idea.
Or, if we want to be a realistic you're friends with a reviewer but I want to believe that there's a little Tim Schafer in all of us.

It's my favorite of the games I've played, which is why I'm looking forward to it so much.
When you die, you don't go directly to Heaven or Hell, you go to a place called The Land of the Dead, also known as the 8th Underworld. The Grim Reaper isn't just a guy to guide you there, he's your travel agent, and depending on the kind of person you were in life, you get better or worse ways of getting to the 9th Underworld, or The Land of Eternal Rest, up to and including a ticket on the Number Nine, a train that gets you there in 4 minutes instead of 4 years.
Manny Calavera is a travel agent, but all of his clients have been busts recently, while his rival Domino has been getting great ones. In desperation, he steals a client, who is virtually a saint, but for some reason, she has no ticket coming to her. He gets in a lot of trouble with the Department of Death over it, but joins a resistance group trying to weed out the corruption in the DoD, find out where the Number Nine tickets are going, and also to rescue his client, who has gone missing.
