So Great!!! Think this would be great on the psp as well if they ever brought it to PSN!

MikeLXXXVIII 5 pts

Damn I wish the voice acting was included in the classic version, that would make it great. Ugh! It's very ironic how they try to defend the new art by comparing the old to the pirates of caribean. Things can be goofy without really goofed up unfaithful art. Just get rid of that ridiculous Guybrush art and stick more to the roots.

YES!!!!! YES!!!!! OH MY FREAKING GOD, YESSSS!!!!!

I always wondered what happened with the dog. Thought it was a scene only on the Amiga, while I had an Atari ST. Love the old flappy-headed talking animations.

NightAngeI 5 pts

Not very interested in this game...but I'm sure it will set decently from avid nostalgia fans

saraphin 5 pts

Getting this. I lent my copy out, never to return, so this is great! Loving the voice acting too!

PSFreak1 5 pts

cool game, although i would pass it for something more mature

jadelotuz 5 pts

Wow! this is nostalgia. Need to take a trip to memory lane, must try this out. There's tons of classic games with the SCUMM engine, that would be nice to se re-amped in this way. Sadly, one of mine old favorites, isnt a Lucasart game, but still a SCUMM game (I think?). Im talking about "Beneath a Steel Sky". That game would have been as sweet as this one. "Beneath a Steel Sky Special Edition" *dreamy eyes*. :)

We need a leisure suit larry revamp like this one .... gawd the new games suck monkey crap!

Born_Lucky 10 pts

Uh - the old pirate at 9:22 looks better than the new "improved" pirate. That's disappointing.

gmax 5 pts

So, where are all the monkeys again?

erkin6666 5 pts

lol looks like crap then need third remake lol

shafrox 5 pts

Cant wait to meet Murray (the skeleton head) with his hilarious laugh... I love you lucasarts!!! :D

MaNiKore 5 pts

I've been to Monkey Island, it's only a hop away from Kangaroo Island. If you listing to the guy talking, he reminds me of Bob Ross

Hellequin85 20 pts

SPIFFY!!!! lol I love monkey island, remember playing the original when I was really young. It's nice to have it revamped but a whole new monkey island game would be even better...

LustedLisk 5 pts

The best adventure maker company of the past returns with one of the best adventures of all time. This is great news. Ahhh the memories... INDY4 anyone?

JunglemanchiId 6 pts

AWESOME, love the fact that Guybrush from Curse is back lol , was pretty funny in the third game

anthonettex 5 pts

woooohoooooo!! considering i've played MI3 and 4 but never the ones which started it all thanks to being spoilt of lovely graphics im glad Lucasarts have done something like this. thank god they didnt abandoned their fans and adventure genre!

Malec3 5 pts

I wish Sierra would do this for Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father. All the big 90's publisher should put together volumes of the libraries from the late 80's through the 90s. Each one for 40 to 60 bucks. Lucas Arts kinda did it but I would like to see ALL of their games not just classics.

IDarkNight 5 pts

no no no!!!!!! the new animation looks so bad. Hell, dont touch the legend of monkey island please!

shadow2067 5 pts

I missed skull so muchhhh and I didnt even played the first two games and this is a dream come true and only few months away! I knew Lucas wouldn't desert MI, i hope I can get the same feelings when I did playing MI 3 :)

JamesHuston 5 pts

HELL YES! Now if only Space Quest were being remade as well. Still this looks awesome, and I can't wait to play it!

RockNFknRoll 5 pts

lucasarts rediscovering monkey island and their adventure roots is the best video game news i've heard in a decade. PLEASE KEEP GOING! EVERYBODY ENCOURAGE THIS FOR ME!

SOGGYWEED1 5 pts

The new interface seems alright, but wouldn't it be a total pain when doing the puzzle where you have to keep pouring grog into other mugs?

PeterParker 5 pts

OMG! This is really good news. The good games are back!

MicK765 5 pts

I'm so glad the have remade this game one of my all time favourites. But they should remake Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis aswell cause that game rocked!

Orcspecial111 8 pts

ive been waiting for this day for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

twillfast 5 pts

@Sophia I mean, I want all the new graphics and sound, just not the voices! ^_^ I'd feel sort of weird buying the new version, just to play the original, which I've already got and play every three years or so. Oh well, I'm sure this is going to be great. Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!

snappeddragon 5 pts

All I can say is: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

dannyodwyer 24 pts

So delighted for this. First game I ever completed. And every year before Christmas I boot it up on my Amiga 600 and play through it again. :D Must say I dont think the comedy has the same dark tone with the dialogue and cartoonish character models. Though I think the guy from Curse does a great job in that game with Guybrushes voice.

Sophia 8 pts

@twillfast You can play in the classic mode whenever you want, the voices are removed the sound goes back to the original.

WarPrime 5 pts

Nice! This looks like a good remake of a classic game. Here is hoping they remake some of the other classics like "Full Throttle".

Slice4142 5 pts

i'd really like to see them make a whole new game. Better than nothing though i guess.

agentclam 5 pts

Finally! Hopefully this sells and they'll start work on a proper 2D Monkey Island 5. Great graphics, although the animations don't seem to have evolved much in 19 years.

ded_ringer2 5 pts

No PSN :( still gonna get it on PC if it doesn't.

Sechu 5 pts

Guy Brush is back in full HD. Yikes! Hardly can I believe it. Reminiscing... By the way, it is awesome how smoothly one can switch between the original and the new graphics. I just can't wait to grab this title on the 360.

scshield 5 pts

I'm gonna have to buy this. Looks like a great update.

twillfast 5 pts

Ah man.. Monkey Island is pretty much the secret of my childhood. I'm feeling slightly melancholic though, when they put voices on all the subtitled characters of my past, and make Guybrush's hair look like.. I don't know what. I really like the graphic look, I just wish there were no voices and just more of the awesome ambient sound and piraty music! I guess it's 'bye, bye guy.brush' and 'hello guybrush.gfx'. *gets tear-eyed*

Land-0-Funk 6 pts

glad they got the original cast from CoMI for the voices..definite buy for me!

WizengamotX 5 pts

This is the greatest interview of all time!

Sophia 8 pts

@nicktarist me too...! me too.

Lyca 7 pts

Ahh this brings back memories... Will definately be getting this one cant decide PC or 360..

stevo_360 5 pts

So much information in one day. Ahhhhhhhhh. Sounds exciting though. I never played it the first time around and this seems like a great chance.
