Looks pretty cool -

Also, here's a comment from a Telltale guy (I posted the video in their forums, too) -

The guy who puts this stuff together is a cool guy. He's working at Crytek on one of their upcoming projects, and does all this Monkey 2 stuff to screw around. It looks great.

You played the new Monkey Island 1 special edition?

laffer 20 September 2009 21:11

Yes, I don't like it very much. I mean I guess it's decent but it's not really for me.

alexh 20 September 2009 21:11

I was thinking of paying for it, what's up?

laffer 20 September 2009 21:14

Well, I think it looks a bit cheap. I understand they built it on top of the old game, and it shows... the animation looks 'stiff'.
I also hate the new Guybrush design, and you can't skip dialogue.
And some of the voices are horrible (but many are pretty good as well, though).

TCD 20 September 2009 21:16

:shocked Woah! Very nice little 'mod' :agree
Thanks for sharing it laffer :great

Edit : Also not too impressed with the 'special edition'. It's nice to have speech, but the characters look really odd.

Monkey Island 2 turned in to a FPS. YUK!

gimbal 21 September 2009 12:57

don't see it so black and white. It looks *seriously* cool for a tech demo! The atmosphere is spot on.

TCD 21 September 2009 13:28

^ What gimbal said :) I don't compare it to Monkey Island in terms of a 'game', but I really like how they captured the atmosphere of the game in that 3D environment.

PowerPie5000 21 September 2009 22:47

WOW :shocked that looks impressive! Monkey Island 2 in first person would be pretty cool if it ended up looking like this :agree

StarEye 22 September 2009 18:00

Looked nice, until he started interacting. :)

Dizzy 22 September 2009 18:55

nice :D

I like the Monkey Island SE, the price isn't high, so worth buying, and then it might introduce young players to a good old gaming genre ;)
I bought it just to play the game once again, on another platform (xbox) :cheese

Hungry Horace 22 September 2009 20:38

ok I guess, but i'm kind of reminded of Monkey Island 4, which was crap.

"impressive" 3D landscapes i'm afraid really dont impress me that much anymore, because they are so common.

I agree, grim fandango is awesome. Still have it lying around here somewhere.

Grim Fandango is a great game and a sequel would have been nice... but Monkey Island 4 was my least favourite of the bunch! Monkey 2 will always be my personal favourite :agree

TCD 23 September 2009 06:51

Grim Fandango is a good game, but Monkey Island 4 isn't that brilliant compared to the other 3. Again it's not a bad game, but it doesn't keep up with the others.
Oh and I wouldn't mind MI5 with that graphics... :D

What about MI Online a big Monkey Island pirate online game, where we can walk around "sword" fighting :cheese

TCD 23 September 2009 16:22

Nah, I want a real MI again ;) Not sure if there's a big market for 'insulting others in a caribbean 3D environment' anyway :D
