choobs posted:Actually, some of the folks involved in the ScummVM released ResidualVM. It's to the point now that the game is fully playable with only minor graphical issues. Supposedly anyway, I haven't had a chance to play it yet. Would be interested in a trip report for anyone who has played it. A friend of mine streamed the entire game very shortly after Grim was declared beatable in Residual and that's exactly what we saw. Worked great, some weird color problems near the end of the game that sorted themselves out. That was over 2 years ago and before their "stable" release. Go play Grim Fandango!

Mr Underhill posted:Yeah, I never understood why they just wouldn't cater to this nostalgia market, as niche as it might seem. My guess is they're only focusing on what the 18s in 18-35 want, even though the 35s play and buy more. Let's hope we can remember 2012-2014 and forth as the adventure revival period. And thank God for Tim Schafer taking to Kickstarter! He single handedly brought back mainstream attention to the genre. 35 year olds buy lovely Star Wars games too.

mateo360 posted:I don't think they changed it since the GOG versions come with star charts, which is going to be hilarious by tomorrow when the steam discussion page for the games is over run with people going "Where do I go?" or "Why do I keep running in to Klingons and Romulans?" since steam tends not to include the extras like, oh say a manual.(or not since I think you can easily find a star chart online) The only review up on Steam right now for 25th complains that the manual wasn't included.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:OK, that makes sense. And then they made the background the same resolution (are they?) to keep it consistent? I think in one of the Blackwell commentaries he mentions getting some higher res backgrounds back from an artist and it looked bad mixed up.

Mr Underhill posted:I think I'm the only one on these forums at least who wasn't head over heels in love with Primordia. I can't even remeber if I finished it or not, so chances are I didn't. I liked the atmosphere and Moebius-like vibe and graphics, but a lot of the puzzles seemed needlessly obtuse to me (like the guy hiding in the mirrors or monitors one, remember that one?). Plus, I love comic relief sidekicks, they're one of my favorite tropes, but that little robot guy was neither relief nor comical. I think I didn't understand the monitors puzzle, I just kept breaking the monitors the guy was in so he couldn't move anymore, and I think that was an achievement and not the default way of beating it.

Tiggum posted:I liked Primordia, I think it's one of the better point-and-click adventure games, but unfortunately that's a genre that sets up some pretty low expectations. It's not a game I'm really interested in playing again, even though I know there are alternate endings. It's still the best thing Wadjet Eye have put out other than the Blackwell series (and possibly Technobabylon, which I haven't played yet). I guess I was breaking the monitors he wasn't in without understanding what I was actually doing.

Xander77 posted:RPS pointed out that none of the people trying to cash in on old glories have played adventure games in decades, old or new. True when when the big kickstarter wave hit, still true now. It really annoyed me how often I'd hear something like "We're gonna bring adventure games back"

I think he laughed about it happening too much in one of the commentaries. He probably thinks it's a fun running gag by now.

LSL5 is weird. They swung hard in that direction and didn't really figure it out yet, if you play it today you realize there's like 3 actual puzzles in the entire game. It's great looking though. 6 and 7 are both great.

MockingQuantum posted:This is another one of those weird pop culture things that existed for a while and definitely was a joke I'd heard when I was a kid. I think I even saw it in some cartoon, which is probably how I figured it out when I first played DOTT. It's definitely an example of a certain kind of designer bias (which I'm sure has a name but I have no idea what it would be) where a writer or designer, or group of them, think what is otherwise an extremely esoteric reference is much more common and shared than it is. I can't think of another good example of this in adventure games, but I know I've run into other instances of it. I've never thought about it before but it's a problem that's probably largely unique to a certain generation of adventure games pre-internet ubiquity. The one everyone points to is the "monkey wrench" in MI2, as that's not a term widely used outside of America. But I think it's weird even as a joke I understand.

Veotax posted:I didn't play Full Throttle until something like the mid-2000's where I found a random budget re-release that I guess was only in the UK or something? It was using SCUMMVM and had some awful smoothing turned on by default that I couldn't turn off so I just took the game files from the disc and put them into my own SCUMMVM install. That far back, it's possible SCUMMVM wasn't even running the minigame sections (maybe a good thing?)

Much of the humor of Escape is just repeating jokes from the previous games multiple times.
