Unless it uses the rumoured motion controller then I think this will be hard to control.

P&C doesn't work that well with a joypad unless it's like Grim Fandango style.

Er, for some reason I thought I was in the Fate of Atlantis on the Wii topic.

And now I'm pleasantly surprised. Might even consider getting the PC version even though I already have the old one.

Now I'm waiting eagerly for a Loom update. It doesn't have an as massive and vocal fanbase, but now that LucasArts are being cool again, who knows?

i was dead set against a remake, and now i'm very excited after looking at the lucasarts website screens. it looks like they were painstakingly faithful to the look and feel of the original, and didn't do anything drastic besides just basically updating it. building on top of the original code, allowing for switching back and forth is absolutely brilliant too. i can't wait for this just as much as the new telltale MI (which i have concerns about)

Now that the game is officially unveiled, let's keep comments to the current thread about it (and there's another one entirely for the new MI series).
