inm8#2: Seeing as it’s the first two games people like - and the first two games which has sold gangbusters in their new versions - I think it’s fair to say most people pledging like that style a lot.

And clearly Cecil and company doesn’t always know what’s best - just look at the abomination that was Broken Sword 4. Even though publisher might be to blame for some parts I doubt that’s the entire reason as 3 wasn’t as god awful, even with its ton of retarded box pushing “puzzles”.

I’ve always found it jarring that the lead female character had a name no French woman under 60 would have. I see at least now they’ve given her a voice and face to match. 

Oh well, backed anyway. Based on BS4 and the BS1 remake, I’m not convinced Cecil and Revolution have another great game in them still, but I’m willing to give them a chance for old time’s sake.

I am pledging 100$ as soon as I have the money and for me this is the most exciting KS project and a long awaited sequel. After BS4 i began losing hope we would ever see a new BS game and for it to look as good as this is more endorphines then I can handle
It does seem that George got a bit of a facelift though
Only worried about customs taking another 20-40$ depending on the package value but cant fight the Man.
The only thing that can wreck 2013 for adventures now is the Apocalypse

Yeah I don’t think Croatia will be in the EU by then
What I ment was that Croatian customs take an extra 25%+13% for taxes and whatnot. The last shipment I recieved was worth 60$ and had to pay around 20$ to my lovely country. But i won’t mind paying extra just to get my hands on the boxed version

I am already a backer, although I’m not such a Broken Sword fan (I loved the first one, but that’s all). For the common good of adventure games, I hope the goal is reached and If I’m right it’ll be above it in a few days.

Charles Cecil and his new Broken Sword game only confirms that Pendulo chose the wrong platform for Day One at Gamesplanet Lab instead of Kickstarter. I don’t think that Broken Sword games are much better than Runaway or Yesterday, however Revolution have so much fans pledging that makes you think why Pendulo don’t.

The project looks pretty great and thankfully very different from the fourth one in terms of atmosphere. I like the look of the characters, and there’s just something about the video that draws me in. However, unless I can find a job before the end of September, I doubt I’ll be donating more than just enough to get the game. Tex Murphy ate my entire video game budget for years to come.

I don’t really have any issues with the look of the characters.

I’ve pledged $250! I want that Templar keyring and that ‘History of Broken Sword’ book!

I’ve always found it jarring that the lead female character had a name no French woman under 60 would have. I see at least now they’ve given her a voice and face to match. 

That’s kind of funny - here Nicole is a regular name for younger people in their 20’s.

And even if it wasn’t I’m surprised a detail like that would annoy you this much. It’s like complaining that you hated a game because the lead character liked oatmeal and no-fucking-body should like oatmeal!

It doesn’t annoy me that much, but it is distracting. And even more so since she gets nicknamed “Nico”, which is short for Nicolas (a man’s name). Basically, whenever there’s something French in Broken Sword, they get it wrong (including their opening shot with the Eiffel tower in the Kickstarter video). It didn’t prevent me from enjoying the first 3 games, but it is sloppy.
