Xbox 360 becomes my favorite (Monkey Island?)

Recommended Posts

If this turns into fact then the 360 will be my new and preferred system. (I like the Wii and especially the PS3 for its features and some games etc)

 

Possible Monkey Island on Xbox Live

 

If it does become fact then I can only assume that we have gamers deciding on what comes to XBLA and not idiots.

;)

I hope this does turn out to be true. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the other LucasFilm games available as well. (With achievements no less!!)

Back in the day I would play these for hours on my C64.

Oh definitely, I hope they come out with more than just Monkey Island. I loved all those Lucasarts adventure games.

 

Maniac Mansion

Sam n' Max

Day of the Tentacle

Full Throttle

The Dig

Loom

 

Did I mention everything? :P

If this is true I will be overjoyed. Cimerians, I loved all of those titles you mentioned. Weren't the Indy games LucasArts as well? Who knows, maybe they could do all of the titles eventually if they use a SCUMM engine. I would love a So you want to be a Hero remake on the 360 (if it is a SCUMM deal). And even some of the Sierra games as well. I know I am dreaming, but let me dream.

Zak....I am ashamed. I also forgot the Indiana Jones games too. More shame.

 

I'm with Elw00d, bring on Kings Quest!

LOL, I can only guess what they would have as achievements.

I wish Full Throttle had a sequel....that was one of the best games they made. They were all good.

How appropriate. You fight like a cow. "

I'm pretty excited about being able to play The Secret of Monkey Island on the 360, but since when did Guybrush start looking like Conan O'Brien? (His hair is HUGE in the artwork at the webpage linked to above)

LOL I was thinking the same thing.

 

The Ron Gilbert interview I posted above mentions something like that. He kindly remarks that he envisioned things to look different and not like the sequels after part 2.

I agree that it looks much prettier but... I am having some serious trouble getting over how ridiculously stupid Guybrush looks. I really, REALLY dislike his design. I'm usually pretty tolerant of that sort of thing, but I'm pretty underwhelmed by what they've done with him.

It is available now for 800 points. I am downloading the trial right now and I will probably unlock the full game soon after I give it a quick look.

The graphics upgrade is horrible....especially Guybrush and Marley....I think some graphics arts company in Singapore did it according to the end credits. Sorry people but it sucks.

 

I switched to the old graphics almost about an hour into gameplay although I would switch back and forth once in a while to check the voice acting. Sadly they had the same actors do different characters and you can tell.

 

Also, Lucasarts like a few other corporations is now listing the ENTIRE company in the end credits, inluding Human Resources. Do we really need that?? :x

 

Oh well, there's a nice message at the end and you can play it in classic mode so I would have to give it a thumbs up.
