Tales of Monkey Island

Post by it290 »

Ok... this is the real news from E3:

I'm not Telltale's biggest fan in the world, but a new Monkey Island is something I thought I'd never experience... and it's coming out next month? Fucking awesome.

I'm a fan of great adventure games, but I refuse to support downloadable stuff. Especially episodic downloadable stuff, which is a bigger rip-off.

Then DeathSpank might be up your alley. DeathSpank: The game by Ron Gilbert That's Not Going To Be Episodic Anymore. And Also Lets You Kill Guys With A Plague of Chickens.

You can pre-order the entire season for 35 bucks; doing so also nets you a physical disc with cover. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Great news indeed.

I don't have a decent pc so I'm going to have to go the wii route on this. This worries me a bit. I believe there is a file size limit of 40mb for wii ware titles. This may hinder a decent port and result in low quality sound and low res blurry textures. I wasn't terribly pleased with how the wii port of sam and max season 1 turned out. It had terribly low res textures and some lines were cut and even that was on a disc.

I'm more excited about Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. The fact you can jump back and forth between classic and modern graphic styles on the fly is fantastic.

The new look is atrocious, though.

The redone scenery is nice. I don't really care for the new character designs. Guybrush in particular.
