Ah, yes... At least me and Trepsie started talking about doing GK3 with the Source engine back when HL2 came out. Now of course even it is a bit old, but still...

I've always said that the GK3 interface has a lot of potential and I've always felt that it's by far the most immersifying interface in (at least) adventure games. GK3 used it well, but there is still so much that could be accomplished with it, and I feel that we've missed out on a lot with GK3 being the only game using it.

And of course we've missed so much with GK3 being rushed and so much being cut from the original plans. So yeah, a remake would be unbelievable. Even if it were just a graphical update, I couldn't get enough of it (and "just a graphical update" could theoretically be accomplished as a... what's the word... you know, fan work).

I'm sure the idea of "real-time action sequences" is rather controversial in these forums Jane did originally plan a bat-whacking sequence though (really!) but it had to be cut too.
