I loved the original as a child and the title song was one of the first hard rock songs I remember liking.
Please The Dig - remastered some day.
The Dig was so fucking mysterious and cool to 11 year old me.

Even though the re-mastered work may not be to everyone's taste, the fact that we can play this game on today's systems is a minor miracle in itself, so it's not all bad with the fact that you can revert to the original look of the '95 version, also keep in mind this will be the first and likely the LAST time we get a game like this after what occurred with the ill-fated sequels...
Make the most of it! That being said it would have been good if they perhaps could have made a directors cut version with a few more extra scenes etc....as this is probably THE shortest adventure in the LucasArts catalogue...
Have you ttried licking it?Love, love, love the game, but I do remember spending hours kicking a wall.
Geez, Double Fine. What have you done (again)?
Did they redraw Ben from memory? I guess it's somewhat impressive if that's the case. Kind of a disaster otherwise.
Switch version with touch controls in undocked mode.
No Xbox ver?
GF and DOTT didn't come out on those, so it's unlikely. Steam, iOS seems like a safe bet, Android a less safe bet, but possible (GF came out on it, but not DOTT).
I'm looking forward to this, I'll eventually get it. I would like to see MI1/2 SE ported to current consoles (should be relatively easy to do) and then work on remaking Fate of Atlantis, MI3, or The Dig next.

Indy fate of atlantis is avaialble on Steam and GOG.com...but I think a chance of a re-master of that game are slim...otherwise they would have done it by now, hell it might have followed on from the re-master of Monkey island 1 and 2....just like at the moment there isn't a re-master of Monkey Island 3!

San N Max also. Though without Schaefer's involvement in the development of Atlantis et al. This game may be the last of the Lucasarts back catalogue fun.
Gamers are consistently unforgiving when it comes to turning pixellized art into high res. ><Geez, Double Fine. What have you done (again)?

It's been a while since I played it. I wonder if I can still remember all the puzzle solutions by heart. Also, I kind of hope the audio commentary will confirm a small suspicion I had with the game. It shares the driving engine with the engine from Rebel Assault, doesn't it?
Not that I'm expecting Rebel Assault HD or anything, it just really looked like it was what they did for that part.
Gamers from the 90s will likely remember LucasArts game Star Wars: Rebel Assault, which was developed alongside an animation engine called INSANE (INteractive Streaming ANimation Engine). The intention was to allow compressed full motion video within games meaning photorealistic visuals could be used in-game, which was relatively rare at the time.
In the Mine Road sequence of Full Throttle, we used the streaming INSANE engine from Rebel Assault so that the road was constantly coming at you as a pre-rendered movie, explains Tim.
When it comes to the Dig, that games was renowned for having some of the most OBSCURE puzzles in a LucasArts point and click game...and not much humour to it either...so I've relegated that game to watching it as a movie...on Youtube!
Ben is completely off model.
So is this it for adventure game remasters?
With this and Thimbleweed Park it's an excellent time for point and click, but Thimbleweed Park only seems to have sold about 40k on steam, and as for remasters...i can't think of anything that could be remastered next. CoMI needs a full remake.
What do you think could be next?

I think the original had this problem too.
Tim himself mentioned he'd like to do all the Lucas adventures, on the condition that he could get the original creative leads involved (he didn't work on any of them that didn't already get a remaster at this point).

I'm guessing Xbox is totally shut out from all the Lucasarts remasters? They even came to iphone for god's sake. That's a little disgusting.
