Can't wait!!

Good to see they have stuck very close to the original's looks. The monkey island one was a bit disappointing in that sense but at least you could switch to whatever you wanted

 

[FloweryMarston]

looks great. so happy that it didn't follow monkey island's style

 

[Roubjon]

I don't really think it looks that great. It looks like a good version of those filters you can apply to smooth out pixels, but that's pretty much what I expected.

 

[wrowa]

It looks good enough that I feel weird to complain about the graphics, but I agree that it looks just a bit too smooth.

 

[inm8num2]

Looks fine to me.

 

[yurinka]

Looks good. Monkey Island Remastered or Monkey Island II Remastered next, please!

This looks miles better than the Monkey Island HD version that the other guys did.

The first game's Remaster was pretty bad, but I thought the second one looked great. Huge improvement. The VA was also much better than it was in the first.

Now I wish Double Fine did the MI special editions. I hated the change in art style there. Double Fine understands the importance of staying true to the originals.

People keep saying this but how could they have done it? DOTT always had a cartoony artstyle, so the job was much easier. MI 1 and 2 on the other hand had a semi-realistic artsyle and "grittier" textures.

Does this have Maniac Mansion built in like the original? If so, I assume it's a straight up emulated version?

Another game not coming to X1

Yes, but we're waiting to hear back what version it will be.

If Microsoft wants these games, they should fund them like Sony.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I had no idea this was coming out, I loved it on the Amiga. Nice surprise.

Sierra remasters coming to XBOX One!

Indeed

There's a 4768x2682 res copy of the Key Art in the press kit there.

Tried to google but found nothing. Do we know what they will do with the voices?

Yes. They're taking the original, uncompressed voice tapes and converting them (instead of just using the compressed samples in the retail DOTT).

Mentioned in the other thread that you should be following since there's now someone from Double Fine providing info on the remaster. For instance, DOTT Remaster is confirmed to be using the 1989 DOS enhanced version of Maniac Mansion as the included 'game-within-the-game'.

Brilliant! Just what I was hoping they would do. was worried those did not exist any more or something similar. Thanks
