Stupidly in the UK the only game out with it this week is Grand Slam Tennis, all the other games are out a month from now, Sports Resort is a month and a half away. I'll wait for the review of Sports Resort...
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.
" Clearly you didn't watch the video. You can press one button to swtich back to the old art on the fly at any time. Perhaps everyone could be informed before bitching? "
@Stephen_Von_Cloud: I know you can switch it back, it's just a shame that they chose this style for the new hi-res graphics, it just seems like a waste. At least there's still the voice overs and music to look forward to. Perhaps everyone could give everyone benefit of the doubt before bitching about other people bitching? :) I apologise for being harsh on the new style, but it just doesn't seem right to me, messing that much with a classic with an established art style.
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.
@LeadNinja: This happens to me too, the only way to get around it is to move the cursor to the top of the screen. Then the bar disappears. THEN drag the cursor off the screen along the very top and it won't come back onscreen when it goes off the edge.
@solidsnake360: Yeah, I edited it out, it's late here and I'm learning too. In the text afterwards, which you quoted but maybe didn't read, I explained why it's bad.
'Anata' is 'You' wa is a topic marker, so let's just say it's 'is/are/am' etc in English so 'Anata wa' is 'You are/ you're' no is a possession marker so 'Anata no' is 'Your' as in belonging to you.
Just replying 'Vince!' is disrespectful if you think about it, 'My name is Vince' is formal, 'I'm Vince' is informal. So, depends who you're talking to. 'Vince desu' ヴンス です is 'I'm Vince' 'desu' is basically a catch-all version of the English verb 'to be' as you know.
Your name is foreign so you'd spell it out in Katakana. Bi ヴ N ン Su ス You can write ヴィ for Vi but Japanese people don't get along too well with 'Vee's so get used to being called Bince xD If you've not learned Katakana though then でんす is fine for this assignment.
Just a note, you don't say Vince-san because '-san' is a honorific,which is the equvalent in english of 'Mr' so you'd be being arrogant like 'That's MR Vince to you, buddy' or an equivalent smug comment. You always use honorifics to other people unless you're REALLY close to them though, so that can be confusing.
