The new art fits in with the later entries. It's the voiced dialogued that's going to be weird for me. Wished the new games wasn't in fugly 3d.  :yuck

Tiesto, play the original two ASAP; they fucking rock!  The other two were made by different people.  I couldn't really get into them although lots of people love MI3. 

Please don't screw this up TellTaleGames...

telltale got sam and max right and they also managed to not hose wallace and grommit, so i think they can pull this off as well

Guybrush's face looks kind of weird, everything else looks amazing though.

Remake just looks ok.  Would rather play the original.

Excited about the new Telltale games though.

You can switch back and forth between the remake and the original on the fly with push of a button.

Layering this remake directly over the original is technically interesting, but it's as if no one at Lucas Arts thought about how that might actually look.

Title: Re: monkey island remake and NEW MONKEY ISLAND GAME

The PS3 probably couldn't handle it without using low-res textures.

But the new voice track is going to only be with the updated visuals.   :-\

Does this game look really off to anyone else? Guybrush looks really odd

His character sprite/art is horrible.  That alone basically killed the entire remake.  Whoever drew him should feel guilty.

I like the art.

But the hair on guybrush looks terrible. Actually, his entire sprite in this version looks terrible.

The remake should have used the art style from Curse of Monkey Island.

Curse had the best art style. The new one is okay, I will still play it again.
