LucasArts Answers Your Questions About Monkey Island XBLA

I just want to know what Stan looks like...
WOO STAN!

O man i loved those SCUM engine dos games.

Awesome game.  Would love to play through it again with some new graphics.

I like the new art a lot too.  Voicework and everything.  Nice.

I really don't like the art style at all.

i dont think guybrush is guybrush without dominic armato doing the voice

Q: Can we have it on PSN as well please? :-|

Sooooooooo excited for this game.

LA CHUCK LA CHUCK WILL F YOU UP

i heard so much about this game growing up but never played it.  i am excited to get the chance to try it out.

Wow. I love MI, but that really looks pretty awful.

I'm looking forward to some shiny new insult sword fights!

I want to know why they've stripped the game of Steve Purcell's wonderful art and replaced it with artwork you'd find languishing on Deviantart and put all the backgrounds through a bad Photoshop filter.

This game is gonna be awesome, for sure. I hope it's a success so they'll do the same thing with the other SCUMM games too.

They better bring it to Steam as well, damn XBLA :@

I was concerned about the art direction in this game but after seeing it in action I am ON BOARD!  Hell yes!

PSN and Wii pls!!!

I am very excited for this. I loved playing this game years and years ago, as well as the PS2 one (Escape from Monkey Island) so this is just going to be grrrrrr-eat!

so... supermooseman buy s a360 nao?

Crikey, I know the original graphics are still there, with a press of a button. The biggest draw is meant to be the new graphics though, and they could have gotten Steve Purcell's original drawings, scanned them and CG'd them at 1080P. If his blessing wasn't possible, then it still could have been made similar, see So Blonde as an example. This is meant to be for old fans as much as drawing in new ones and I can't help feeling disappointed, that's all. I am very happy that the Curse of Monkey Island team is doing the voice over and a new soundtrack will be interesting to hear as it will be mostly orchestrated with real instruments unlike the existing cd audio one.

Personally I don't like the new style, guybrush looks like he has a mullet, but I will be definetly playing this again.

Monkey Island was awesome.

I'll be buying some more MS points soon I think ^^

Awesome. I hope LucasArts teams up with Tim Schafer again to help bring back the classic SCUMM games like Day of The Tentacle, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango.

Monkey Island is one of the funniest adventure games ever. I want this :D

Oh man if this goes well we might be able to see Full Throttle and The Dig....!!!1

I cannot wait!!!

Ehh... You already uploaded this trailer..

cool

The dude on facebook was fairly average. All he said were fairly average PR answers. Stuff like "We'll see" and "We haven't finalized those details yet". He completely ignored my favourite question, which was "How did you get LucasArts to stop thinking about Star Wars for 2 seconds?"

Having thought about it, I hope they leave Full Throttle the hell alone.  It still looks perfect as it is.

Compare the Full Throttle intro with the Full Throttle 2 trailer and you will understand.

OK, I'm a bit confused on your personal preference then Coffeesash. The game looks exactly like what you proposed the developers should have done. There's higher detail, smoother surfaces, and flashier effects of damn close as possible akin to the original art style. I really don't see how you couldn't like them, other than if you just have some sort of spiteful, resentful, nature towards this re-make, or re-makes in general.
