I’m not keen on the 2D/3D hybrid aesthetic of BS6 at all. It seems a shame to go that route when BS5 looked so good.  It feels like a step backwards.

However, the remaster of the first game looks fantastic. I wish that more legacy adventure games would get that kind of treatment.

Having now watched the trailer for BS6 and seeing the game in action, I actually think that it looks very nice; a happy medium between 2D and 3D, which allows the handdrawn backgrounds to be combined with dynamic camera movement.  I don’t much care for the 3D character models though.

Agree, it said they were pre alpha though. When do yall think the game will come? 2024, 2025…

In the comments of the tweet they answered some questions

VR rumor dismissed:

On the characters:

They say it’s a “super early first look”, so probably at least a year, my hope would be 2025.

Ah, that’s great to hear; that they’re working on making the characters less obviously 3D models against a 2D(ish) backdrop.  I’ve never cared for that particular mix of asthetics.

first trailer for broken sword 1 reforge and by God is it gorgeous to me. I hope the new game can even come close to The Graphic Fidelity of this.

I have watched the new trailer like five times and I am actually very impressed. The animation and graphics actually look like a don bluth movie now. George actually has facial featureslol. In the original game depending on the scene he looked anywhere from 28 to 52 lol.

Some more info on bs6.

From multi award-winning Revolution Software and legendary director Charles Cecil comes the latest genre-defining adventure. Remembering a murderous clown, a deadly explosion and a life-changing adventure, intrepid George Stobbart and fearless journalist, Nico Collard, are summoned by an eccentric academic to help decipher a mysterious medieval manuscript. But they arrive to find themselves in the middle of a murder scene - the academic is dead, his house ransacked, and the manuscript has gone. Our two heroes promise the grieving wife that they will bring the callous murderers to justice.

Take on the roles of George and Nico as they find themselves drawn into a terrifying conspiracy involving brutal treasure hunters, sinister medieval cabals, and the perplexities of Quantum Physics.

The trail leads our heroes from Berlin to Paris and Occitania as the ancient manuscript reveals clues to the secret location of Parzival’s Stone - known to most as the Grail - a mythical treasure lost for over a thousand years and a source of a thousand legends.

Pursued by ruthless tech entrepreneurs, corrupt government agencies, and billion-dollar global energy corporations, the collective powers of the modern world are all out to beat our heroes to the ultimate goal.

Using wits and dry humor, can George and Nico unravel the mystery of Parzival’s Stone? Because they might just well be the only things stopping the whole world from armageddon.
