LucasArts Might Revamp More Classic Adventures
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 18, 2009 8:59am PDTThe Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition could be but the first in a string of classic LucasArts adventure game revivals if the sales figures support it, reports WAtoday.
"If this sells," said LucasArts community manager Brooks Brown, "there's no one at this company who doesn't want to do these games," raising hopes for re-releases of such fine adventure titles as Day of the Tentacle and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
"It's a matter of showing that there's interest and this market is alive and get people as excited as possible about Monkey Island Special Edition to show that these things can make it," Brown explained.
If the redrawn graphics--with the old graphics also available--full voice-over and re-orchestrated score weren't reason enough to buy The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition when it arrives on PC and Xbox Live Arcade in summer, this surely is.

Superb space sim, kickass story and (for the time) great graphics. Just update the graphics, add MP and your good to go. It's only been bested by Freespace 2.

"there's no one at this company who doesn't want to do these games"
Just say
"Everyone here wants to do these games"
It's more positive and I don't have to listen to you flap your jaws as much.
I guess I don't see the point of a DOTT or Full Throttle remake. The voice acting is superb, and the graphics still hold up pretty well.
With that said, I really hope they remake MI2 next.

As long as we're on the topic though, I really hope Loom gets a make over, loved that game.

Now what, Telltale making it look interesting again? The genre isn't in any better place when he said these things.
Not a complaint mind you, but it's just hilarious waffling on their part.
