This is my concern as well. I watched a video around E3 and it looked pretty janky.

I will be doing a test across multiple platforms for my review.
And yes! Just got my review code.

Embargoed. Sorry man. But I do pretty in depth reviews, gfx, sound, music, voice, gameplay, funfactor. I will try to get it all.

paragonpro · Jul 27, 2015

Looking forward to this, I've been impressed with everything I've seen thus far.

Okay, this is what you're going to do. The moment you accidentally die to something and then the game mocks you for it with a pun, say something like "Mashed Potatoes" and we'll all go pre-order it.

AEREC · Jul 27, 2015

very interested in this but looks like a TellTale style janky game...hoping its not.

Here's a quote from an interview I posted a link to earlier in the thread:

In the current Telltale-dominated adventure genre, Kings Quest seems like a course correction. As amazing as Telltales games can be, they often rely entirely on the strength of their stories and lack engaging gameplay. Kings Quest seems like a perfect blend of Telltales modern narrative sensibilities with the problem solving and hijinks of the adventure games popularized by Sierra.

We'll have to wait a bit more to see how true that is but it has me optimistic.

I deeply hope this ends up being true.

RedAssedApe · Jul 27, 2015

cautiously optimistic.

mauaus · Jul 27, 2015

i am on a telltale binge, just caught up with GoT and started TotBorderlands, i am ready to impulse buy this as soon as someone confirms its good

Cleve · Jul 27, 2015

It just doesn't feel right to me to not have Roberta involved. My hopes for this are not very high.

BlackRock · Jul 27, 2015

Will wait for reviews to find out if it is worthy of the original series namesake or just a cheap cash in. I'll bite if it gets solid reviews from fans of the old games.

MrBud360 · Jul 27, 2015

Already preordered on XBone. Can´t wait for tomorrow!!! I think i´m gonna cry at the intro!!!

I mean we know it's gonna be super nostalgic and probably open with a rendition of greensleeves, I just hope the game is amazing. I can't help but feel like someone's playing hand puppets with the rotting corpse of Sierra.

Yea I'm waiting on the old curmudgeon neckbeard crowd to chime in before I get this.

At least on PS4 theres no expiring discount, its safe to wait and pay $40 if its worth it. Plus we have Life is Strange while we wait

Apt101 · Jul 27, 2015

Does this unlock at 12 AM EST on the PS4?

ULTROS! · Jul 27, 2015

Any word if there's a retail version coming for the PS4?

Humdinger · Jul 27, 2015

Looking forward to it. I didn't play the earlier games, but I like what I've seen so far. Beautiful art style, comedic elements, quality voice acting, emphasis on story and maybe a little more interactivity than your average Telltale game.

kamineko · Jul 27, 2015

Sigh, I was going to wait but the nostalgia got the best of me! So since I can't play LiS until tomorrow (Stores, Sony, how do they work?) I'll spend some time with this tonight.

I'm in.

Choomp · Jul 27, 2015

Pretty interested in this despite not being familiar with the older games, will check it out.

Slaythe · Jul 28, 2015

Has anybody tested this out ?

I wanna knoooow.

Sure, I'll give some impressions. No problem!

jakomocha · Jul 28, 2015

I'm really excited for this game even though the King's Quest games were before my times. 2015 has been a really great year for episodic games (LiS, TftB, Republique, etc.) and also episodic gaming has produced some of my favorite gaming experiences (TWD is one of my favorite games ever).

They already have spoken about how the game has choices. Here's an interesting quote from the creative director of the game in the article:

"Besides the moment to moment, your decisions affect how the legend of King Graham is going to be remembered - is he going to be remembered as Graham the wise, Graham the soft of heart, or Graham the brave?"

Corronchilejano · Jul 28, 2015

Oh god, I can't believe this is happening!

Mister Megative · Jul 28, 2015

Maybe......just maybe......if this does well......

.......we'll get a new Quest for Glory? God, I want to revisit that world SO BAD.

gbpackers25 · Jul 28, 2015

It's not letting me boot up the game on ps4. It says that I need to update the game when there is no update out

Tizoc · Jul 28, 2015

^Isn't it still the 27th in the US? Game releases on the 28th so the full unlock is a few hours away.

It's the 28th now on the east cost.

On PS4, it's saying "to use this application, you must update it". It's updated. :/

Yep, me too.

I restored licenses, nada. Deleted and downloading again now.

Hmm in that case I'd still suggest waiting a few hours, it's likely the full unlock won't go up until US PS Store is updated.
Heck on Steam it shows that the game unlocks in 13 hours so maybe that applies to the PSN ver. as well?

Yeah, it might need to be the 28th on the west coast as well. I'm not really sure how that stuff works on the PS4.

Mad Season · Jul 28, 2015

Please be good

kamineko · Jul 28, 2015

Cmagus · Jul 28, 2015

They mentioned it did really well in the Double Fine Adventure documentary. That's all I got.

Hope we see the Day of the Tentacle remaster soon.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
