FANTASTIC!!!!
An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

Great news and yes, I hope they don’t mess with the art style like in MI
I actually think I might need to upgrade my PS3 for a PS4 now. Like, really. Just for this (and Grim, obviously). And I didn’t particularly want to, despite the obsolescence. But…Wow.
Did not see this one coming.
Hopefully, no one pulls the plug this time.
theyr bringing both this and grim fandango to new systems, and not re-doing the whole voice cast?
amazing 
I’m withholding excitement until I see what this means for the art style. I don’t want another Monkey Island Special Edition with its tasteless mobile app art design.
Sony is showing a lot of love for Double Fine, after this Grim Fandango, DotT, Broken Age this can only mean they will get to Full Throttle eventually!
As far as I remember Lucasarts was working on a remastered/HD version of the game before it was bought by Disney.
It was more or less completed, do you think Double Fine will use that version or start again.

This will be much easier to do than Monkey Island. The art style for DOTT has a distinctive, jagged cartoony look that can be upgraded to HD, with a little skill. I still think the original looks gorgeous so they should not need to change anything really.
Hopefully they’ll add some sweet new action-platforming gameplay!
I’m hoping for some spiffy new haircuts ala the Monkey Island remake.
Seriously. The reaction to that was hilarious.

This, pretty much. Especially because, unlike MI, there’s not much else to add here. There was already excellent voice acting, and it’s a near-perfect game that has aged very well. I’m down for a nice-looking redraw, but I don’t have much time for anything less.
Now with better lighting 
Recently completed: Game of Thrones (decent), Tales from the borderlands (great!), Life is Strange (great!), Stasis (good), Annas Quest (great!); Broken Age (poor)

I don’t think we have anything to worry about on that front. First, Tim Schafer is directly involved, not some faceless Lucasarts lackeys, and secondly, unlike the original Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle already had an iconic art style. They’d be complete fools to revise the style—and Tim Schafer is no fool (despite not being great with budget planning—he’s no fool when it comes to art direction, anyway.) This will be an HD remaster of the original style; mark my words.

Unless they decide to work with the assets from the unreleased LucasArts remake, which is always a possibility. But yeah, I would trust Double Fine to handle the art more than Lucas.
I am pretty confident about this. Even if in a worse case scenario the art looks not that great like in Monkey Island Special Edition, I think we will still have the original DOTT. I am stoked for portable Day of the Tentacle on VITA! If this means Full Throttle is next, then 2015 is going to be an amazing year for replaying the classics on the go!
