gameplay reveal trailer, coming to switch and PC later this year
Dang, Dominic Armato got old. Still sounds pretty good, though.
Devolver, don't you dare work with Limited Run with this one.

Well, not really, Murray's in the game and the trailer acknowledges Morgan from MI5. They also said they aren't retconning any game out of existence... but there might be some continuity errors (but, well, the saga is already full of them anyway...).I’m not thrilled with the art style, tbh. I was really hoping it‘d be like the two original games, since the devs are basically disregarding the existence of 3 and 4. Oh well, I will still buy it day 1. Excited for playable Elaine!
Personally, I don't like the cartoony direction it took, but it's a top-notch adventure game.Is curse of monkey island worth playing? Its the only one besides the ps2 ive not played.
Bunch of ungrateful fucks.Return to Monkey Island creator will no longer talk about the game following abuse
Ron Gilbert, creator of piratical point and click adventure series Monkey Island, has made the decision to stop talking…www.eurogamer.net

If you're not allergic to PC gaming I think the whole series is on sale currently in Steam and GOG's summer salesI wish the og games were available on the Switch. I want to try the series, but I'm not starting with this one.

Well hopefully Disney gets off their butts and commissions ports of the games to modern systems, because this is the best opportunity they're going to have to get people to buy them.I don't even have a PC at home
The latter. Ron said the game is not going to retcon MI3-4-5, albeit there might be some small continuity errors.The artstyle is really great, and I appreciate the initiative to go for a new style.
One thing I don't quite get with this game is that, yes it's set after the second game, but is it of a splintered continuity (albeit with references to "future" entries) or a game that does not contradict the "future" entries?
Thank you for reading.
Ron said this is not a throwback game for older fans, it's a new Monkey Island for new and older players alike. Historically, the Monkey Island games have always had self-contained stories.Any comments on whether, story-wise, it would be ok to jump into this one without playing the two prequels?
EDIT: Regarding the Ron Gilbert situation, fans can be an absurdly toxic bunch. That's inexcusable behavior.

Google "Monkey Island 2 Ultimate Talkie Edition". It's a fan mod of the original MI2, including the dub of 2010 Special Edition. You can play it with ScummVM on... well, pretty much everything.I LOVE the first game. Had it for Sega CD back in the 90's and currently have it installed on my Vita and did a replay of it. Sega CD version was awesome minus the long loading, but the music made it worth it.
I have never played the second one since it never came out for Sega CD, so now I have to figure out a way to play it before this releases.
Gamers: "Man, that backlash to Wind Waker's artstyle twenty years ago sure looks stupid in retrospect, right?"that's awful...
should be in switch, Double Fine only ported Grim Fandango god knows why. Full Throttle, Day of The Tentacle and monkey 1 and 2 remasters are all missing.Google "Monkey Island 2 Ultimate Talkie Edition". It's a fan mod of the original MI2, including the dub of 2010 Special Edition. You can play it with ScummVM on... well, pretty much everything.
The other option is the Special Edition itself, which is still available on Xbox and Steam. Personally, I don't like the new graphics, but you can switch to the classic style.
Btw, the Sega CD version was the one played by Dominique Armato, aka the voice actor of Guybrush himself!

More than two weeks late, but just in case: Thimbleweed Park mostly succeeds in being a charming and funny throwback to classic LucasArts adventures... but near the end of the game there is a twist that a lot of people absolutely hated. It didn't ruin the game to me, but it was a twist that I wasn't exactly enamored with either.How is Thimbleweed Park? All these news has me itching for a point and click adventure game. I have Jenny Leclue in the backlog right which I may bust out this weekend as well.
It may be the nostalgia talking, but this looks absolutely lovely.
Out of all the classic LucasArts adventure games that Double Fine remastered for modern consoles, for some reason only Grim Fandango received a Switch port. Maybe the others will be ported at some point, who knows.In other Ali assets news, Limited Run is doing Day of The Tentacle for PS4, Xbox, PC…. But no switch?! Wth
I just Tentacle and Maniac on Switch. And Monkey Island 1 - 3Out of all the classic LucasArts adventure games that Double Fine remastered for modern consoles, for some reason only Grim Fandango received a Switch port. Maybe the others will be ported at some point, who knows.
I finished playing Thimbleweed yesterday. It's the "A Link Between World" of classic Lucasfilm adventure games -- same DNA, but the people behind the game collected A LOT of experiences over the years and it shows -- everything is streamlined, which doesn't mean it is dumb -- rather, it is a fair game.It may be the nostalgia talking, but this looks absolutely lovely.

I think we can bank on thatHoping for a physical release later on though
I think we can bank on that
Does Devolver have a usual physical publishing partner?
Or is that left to the individual indie studios themselves to decide on?
Yeah, that fits; they did a physical run of Thimbleweed Park and they were also the ones that did those Monkey Island Anniversary editions.Has Limited Run Games written all over it sadly.
But better than not at all.
It's never too late to joke about horse armorover a decade late to that horse armor joke, Ron
