E3 2014: Grim Fandango Retrospective by 2 Player Productions

I'm actually really glad that schafer has a part in the new fandango because it means he PROBABLY won't fuck it up.

Very happy. Was able to get a copy some 10 years ago and, fuck adventure puzzles but, this game was bursting with awesome art and atmosphere. Glad it's being revived.

This is such awesome news. I am going to buy a Playstation 4, so I can play this game when it comes out. Grim Fandango is probably the best adventure game I have ever played, and I couldn't be more excited that Tim Schafer and his Double Fine crew are going to do a re-mastered version of it.

Ryan :)

My favorite game of all time, hallelujer.

I was exited until the last 30 seconds of video. I though they were remaking Grin Fandango, but when he mentioned reusing the mod and patches made by the comunity it was clear that they are reusing the original stuff.

The Ryan Davis pin on the desk really makes me happy.

I've always wanted to play this, can't wait for the remake!

I admin...I never played this....and I'm totally hooked to try it out once they HD-efy and use the improvements that the fans of the game made! GJ!

P.S.: That Ryan Pin-back button made me go *sigh*. I miss him so much!

Interesting...

Oh Ryan...

Wonderful news. I think the current generation of gamers will really enjoy this game

Can't wait to finally play Grim Fandango (and hope this leads to all those older games I never played). Great, great video.

Who's the guy interviewing Tim around the 7min mark? I know I've seen him before but I can't remember his name.

Of course great stuff from 2 Player productions. After the first season of PATV I always look forward to their stuff.

So happy

Non-Fortnight documentaries are awesome too.

Best news of E3. aww ya

Nice to see that he has a reminder of Ryan there with him. Lots of great old interview footage there. Never played the game before but I've heard good things. I'll probably pick up this HD version at some point when I get a PS4.

Now we just need a day of the tentacle remake!

LOVE RYAN DAVIS!!!

One of my favorite games of all time, even named my cat Meche. Hopefully they just go balls out and do an "extended" version with additional puzzles and dialogue bits, especially towards the back half of the game. It always felt a bit rushed and barren compared to the tremendous first 2 acts/areas (El Marrow, Rubacava).

Super excited Grim will finally be officially re-released and remastered, especially after years of neglect by Lucas. Nobody is more deserving of that right than Tim. For all the legal crap that has prevented this game from a proper release for so long, its great that he can finally have an opportunity to re-release HIS game so it can be re-introduced to today's audiences and given the respect it so rightly deserves.

Really excited to play this for the first time, day of the tentacle was my favourite game as a kid but never had a chance to play this but i did watch a play through a few years ago coz i love adventure games so cant wait.

1998 was a bumper crop year; a few games fans still hold dear today: Ocarina of Time, Starcraft, Metal Gear Solid.

This was my introduction to Grim Fandango:

After that, I remember not really knowing anything about it but that seed had been planted and it just grew so when I saw Grim Fandango in the store, I asked my parents for it for maybe a birthday or Christmas present. The funny thing was though, I never originally knew about MI3 either. My dad was going out and I really wanted to play Monkey Island 1 again as I used to play it during breaks in my primary school so I asked if he could look in the store to see if he could buy it and then he came home with a collection of MI1, 2 and 3. I was super thrilled and that's my personal little history on LucasArts adventure games.

I am so excited.

That Ryan pin is really sweet. Makes me tear up to think it's almost been a year.

As for the game, I've never gotten to play this before. I've heard about it my entire life though. I can't wait to get to experience it in a modern, polished form.

Rad!! I hope the remake knocks it out of the park.

Grim Fandango was a significant and memorable part of my childhood. When Adam made the announcement at Sony, I thrust my hands into the air in silent celebration (it was about 3am).

This may be circumstantial, but I looked up the lead programmer on Grim Fandango, check out what he's up to now: Bret Mogilefsky

I have been waiting for a long time to finally get a good chance to replay this classic. Also sweet Ryan pin.

Love to see how Ryan Davis has affected those in the gaming industry. I've also never had the chance to play Grim Fandango and can't wait to get t for PS4!.

What an awesome video!

Holy shit I'm excited for this. By far my favourite adventure game of all time, got my CD still in a prominent location in my office!

never really had a chance to play this, can't wait to jump into this madness!

Sorry Tim, but digital is anything but forever. Servers go down all the time. Companies go under and they take everything with them.

one of those games back in the day i always wanted to play but did not own a pc back then, so im stoked.

2 Player makes some fantastic videos! Super interesting, thanks guys! Looking forward to the GF project!! :-D

Amazing video.

I was 16 when it came out but it's the same for me. I still consider it among the best if not the best game story of all time. Not that it's super deep or anything, but it's such an amazing, fulfilling and complete tale from beginning to end. I remember the feeling of satisfaction I got at the end of the game was profound, which is notable in the world of games where so many endings are afterthoughts.

Fantastic video, great project, can't wait.

I remember playing it as a little kid, but I didn't get far, English isn't my first language so I didn't know what I had to do, but I really liked the art and the look of the characters.

So happy.

This was one of the greatest adventure games of all time. I loved Manny Calavera, and I even have that little skeleton pre-order bonus thing in a drawer somewhere. Can't wait until this comes out again so I can play it with my wife and not have to see if I can get scummvm working on my PC (does it even still work?).

Eagle eye spotters catch that glimpse of Brad Muir?

He is a great talker. Totally knows how to sell an idea! Im sold!

This video was great, I also loved the play through he done of Grim and Full Throttle.

I will buy this the day it comes out on PC.

I have to confess that I have never played Grim Fandango, yet I am old enough to have, since I played the shit out of Full Throttle. Looking forward to this.

Tim Schafer, Grim Fandango, Ryan Davis.

Thank you Two Player.
