Make way for the Ghost Pirates, LeChuck! - Page 2

see, now THAT'S what I'm talking about! that's exactly how the new MI should look. rich ART like this will literally stand up FOREVER. there is so much beauty and immersion just in one scene, you can get lost in it. the Telltale rendered plastic graphics already look dated, and will only get worse as time looks back on it.

What a timing

Erwin_Br · 06-04-2009, 11:54 AM

Speechless about the artwork. I don't think it could be any better than this.

Kolorabi · 06-04-2009, 12:32 PM

Oh, wow, this looks awesome. This is how I want Monkey Island 5 to look. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely psyched about both Monkey Island Special Edition (yay!) and the Telltale-series (double-yay!), but they don't really look all that good. This game does. Seriously.

The ghost concept seems very fun too. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works in practice. Hopefully it's going to be more polished (and feature better writing) than AVS, but as I did enjoy AVS quite a bit, I'm pretty sure I'll like this even if it doesn't improve these things.

The only problem is...... Anaconda. I guess that means one thing: Lousy distribution. Germany first, some random countries much later. Hope I'm wrong, though.

This looks fantastic.

In a way, it's such an irony that the great guys that used to work at LucasArts are now each heading up different companies instead of joining forces.

Reminds me of the good old days. Love that box cover.

art looks great, but as already mentioned unless the writing and voice acting is nothing less than good, its going to struggle no matter how great it looks.

should the reviews prevail it to be of high calibre i will def take a look at this.

i m surprised there isn't much more of a talk about this game

Looks lovely. Some of that voice acting sounded a tad dodgy, but perhaps it would grow on me. I certainly hope the writing has indeed improved over what critics said about A Vampire Story (which I never played, so I'm only guessing I might have been disappointed).
