>more people bought the new Senran Kagura and DOAX on /v/ than Day of the Tentacle
This is why gaming is dead
Don't where you're getting that information from, but I planned on buying it. Never played it before and I was always a fan of adventure games.
>>332392659
>more people bought new games instead of a game from 1993
Yeah, that's why gaming is dead. Not the fact that they're rereleasing a game from 1993.
>>332392659

That's because I already own the game, dick.
>>332392659
>falling for the "HD remaster" meme
>giving the fat fuck money in the process
Disgusting.
ScummVM motherfucker
As someone who loves Maniac Mansion and Senran Kagura I'll take the game which is actually new over a rehash run through a shitty filter.
Also I still have myNEScopy of Maniac Mansion so I can play it any time I want.
>>332392659
>Why didn't this rerelease of a dying genre make more sales?
>>332392659
>buying HD remasters, from Tim fucking Schafer of all goddamn people
You'd have to be a goddamn moron to do that. Day of the Tentacle is an amazing game, but it's an amazing game you should get an original copy of or just run in ScummVM.
Maniac Mansion is better than Day of the Tentacle anyway.
was day of the tentacle on floppy or cd?
>>332393008
>game they've already completed dozens of times.
>Implying neo/v/ has played or even heard of Day of the Tentacle.

wooooooow
>>332392659
That's the "remaster" looks like absolute fucking garbage.
It looks like they ran the graphics through a smoothing filter and then went in and touched it up a little. Like barely the minimum amount of effort was put in at all.
Double Fine hasn't made a good game for decades. They don't deserve my money
>This is why gaming is dead
No, people like you who give shit devs a free pass is why gaming is dead.

>>332393825
Well I didn't know that.
>>332392659
Not my kind of game, really.
Although Senran Kagura and Dead or Alive aren't to my liking either.
>>332392659
Op, I'm pretty sure DOTT was not the biggest hit of the year in 1993 either.
It's a fantastic game, but Puzzle Adventures have never done that well - there's a reason they seemed to vanish for a while.
I'm just glad we're seeing them come back.
Was this actually a decent remaster, or did those scamming hacks at Double Fine do a shit job slapping a patch onto a game that's like 25 years old?
>>332392659
I love DotT, but i'm not giving ANY money to Tim "has been" Schafer and his DoubleFine scum

>>332394030
What in particular is wrong with the new Senran Kagura game?
Are you just shitting on it to be cool?
>>332392659
The Grim Fandango port was hot garbage, why would you jump at the chance for another mail-in?
>>332393975
It might be worth reading a review or two, from the screenshots it looks like they just used the worst scaling filter available.
If they re-drew all the assets to look like that then Damn.
But they may have added some other stuff. I wonder if they left in the fully playable version of Maniac Mansion in an in-game computer?
Tim Schafer is a SJW! Fuck him!
It really makes me sad that lots of people on /v/ don't realize that you can dislike someone's business acumen or personal character without hating every single body of work they've ever done in their entire career. It's clear that there was a not-insignificant amount of effort put into this remake.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjF4eMrYfG0
>>332394126
Naw, I like SK too. But you're comparing a remake of one of the best adventure games of all time to yet another beatem up with little improvment in the series.
Even as a remake (and possibly a shitty one), I'd still go with DOTT over any SK game... and I'm a guy who still has a 360 for Rumble Roses XX.
>>332394157
Everyone who doesn't imidaetly punch every woman they meet is SJW by /v/'s standards
>>332394254
Doesn't change the fact that new graphics look like shit.
How many GamerGaters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
>>332394254
That actually makes me feel better aobut it, but I still don't like the visuals. Is there a way to play it with the original art assets (like they did with Monkey Island)?
>>332394363
I don't know.
How many GamerGaters does it take to screw in a lightbulb Tim?
>>332394358
I agree that the new graphics look meh, but I really enjoy that you can play with the classic graphics but retain the high-quality audio.
>>332394416
Yes, you can play it with the old graphics.
>>332394416
Yeah, you can freely choose between classic/new graphics, sounds and UI all separably.
>>332394268
EV adds a bunch of new characters, it refines the gameplay, it's the first game in the series to be in actual HD and it has its own storyline which is very charming and expands on the characters.
I have almost no complaints about it, lots of games are iterative and that's not a problem.
I'd rather get this new game than buy an old game I've already played.
>people ITT still getting btfo by the GOAT Tim Schafer
I bought it on GOG the day after the release? I forgot what day but it was close to release day. DOAX3 is a game void of any real gameplay outside flash/mobile phone quality.
>not buying this cash grab remake means you're destroying gaming
>>332392659

I'm enjoying Estival Versus, however. There's an underlying story of resurrected family and friendship, dozens of different girls, and don't forget the dressing room.
And boobs.
>>332392659
More or less, yeah. Sex appeal goes farther than gameplay in sales. If this was a tentacle rape point and click game there'd be a front page sticky thread for it.
>>332394298
>There is people who actually believe this
>>332392659

>>332394842
It's funny because there is tentacle rape in Maniac Mansion.
>>332394869
SJWs (being extremists) operate by making the other side look like extremists as well, so i'm not surprised some bitch-ass nu-males think like that.

Oh look another epin buzzword. I guess beta and cuck were getting stale
>>332392659
Day of the Tentacle is extremely overrated.
I've played Day of the Tentacle and it's a shitty "game" with . Add a filter and resell it? Hell to the fucking no and double HELL TO THE FUCKING NO if a goddamn cent ends up in Mr. Shitface's paws
I'm not defending SK either, but it has boobs, and it's a PS4 exclusive with not a fucking lick of censorship.
>>332395219
How is it a buzzword when internet is swarming with Butch-like betas who perfectly fit the description.
Call it what you want, it's not like you can deny reality.
>>332395289
>Overrated
>People like something more than I think they should
Wow, what intelligent criticism.
>>332392659
I love DOTT, and still do, but it can be beaten in practically no time. It's not like they added new content or anything.
SK and DOAX are better value as far as money = playtime goes.
>>332394146
They did, it's still there.
>>332395338
It features little to no challenge, has a bland story, and is extremely short.
It wasn't bad, but it's not as great as people act.
>>332392659
Why the fuck would I buy a game I already own just because it was resold with literally nothing but a shitty filter on top?
>>332394254
I am GLAD someine shared this. As an animator myself, to redo every single frame of animation must of been a nightmare. I bet setting a "filter" would have been easier, but they took that extra effort for the fans.
i'd be tempted by this if they made it look good, but the graphics really look like they've been upscaled by an algorithm
granted, they made the backgrounds widescreen, which is awesome, but as it stands i'd rather scummvm it
i didn't buy any bullshit weeb pandering games though, i'm not stupid
>>332395457
The game look like shit, hard work or not.
>>332394146
Yeah. IIRC Tim even said that having the Maniac Mansion terminal work was personally very important to him
>>332395424
That's just your opinion.
>>332395426
It has a significant amount of extra stuff. Off the top of my head
>Much higher quality audio (ripped from the original session tapes)
>Dev commentary
>A lot of unlockable concept art that no one's seen for 23 years
>The option to mix and match the improvements they've made; you can play with the original graphics and UI and retain the HQ audio, for instance
I dislike what DF did with DFA and Spacebase as much as anyone else, but it's a little disingenuous to imply that there's absolutely no reason for a DotT fan to buy this.
I'll buy this eventually when it gets a deep discount or goes in a HIB just to play it with commentary. I've played the original version in ScummVM several times, but I'd love to hear the commentary.
Same with Grim Fandango. I bought the latest HIB that had it because I wanted to play it with commentary, despite actually having a physical copy of the original.
>>332396059
>ripped from the original session tapes
You just reminded me that the master tracks of the Lego Island soundtrack are lying on the bottom of the sea somewhere and will never be remastered.
>>332393753
You sir have superior taste! B)
>>332396257
B ^U
What if I got all the three of them?
Waiting for a discount, I dont really want to give Mr Shitface more money than I have to.
I don't get the anger in this thread. It literally costs $15. If you wanna play the game again (or for the first time) on a new platform with somewhat updated graphics you pay $15 and you get to do so. That's well worth the money if you like the game and and want the comfort of playing it on your prefered system. The only thing that annoys me and that I think is fair to criticize is that these fucking downloable console games will be obsolete with the next generation. I really enjoyed the Monkey Island remakes for the PS3 (along with The Cave) and I think it's pretty weak that they haven't ported them to the PS4. If I do pay $15-20 for an old game I want to pay for it once and not every 5 years.
>>332396930
>It literally costs $15
Or $5 with the GOG VPN trick.
>>332396930

Well, these days the market is larger than in 1993. So it'd make sense that console game released today would sell more than PC release back in the day.
...Or what, do you mean the re-release? Get real, point-and-click games aren't really big market anymore, and most people don't care for half-assed remasters.
>>332392659

>>332397040
Hello underage. The first point and click adventure game was released on a Commodore. I grew up with point and click adventures on DOS/PC and these console remakes are well made. I don't get people who can't play certain games on console, do you have parkinson or MS or what bothers you? Why can't you aim?
>remastered

I wasn't exactly fan of the style that Monkey Island Remasters, but at least they put in some effort.

Stay mad OP.
>>332392659
>Looks pretty much exactly like ScummVM filter with worse sound and interface than the original with inability to skip lines of dialogue.
I love DOTT but this "remaster" was horseshit. They need to stop beating the remake dead horse and actually attempt to make a new fucking game in these series.
>>332395323
How is being a PS4 exclusive a plus?
>>332397730
It validates the purchase of his platform.
I just ate a whole order of deep fried squid tentacles.
>>332397628
DOTT was already toned down enough from the original, between blowing up hamsters, killing kids in freak accidents, and nurse edna talking dirty on the phone, and that was 20+ years ago.
A new maniac mansion in today's bullshit gaming climate wouldn't be able to keep any charm at all. Don't be a fucking tunahead.

>buying a remaster
no anon, you are the one killing the industry
>>332392659
I fail to see the problem Tim.
I just pirated it, GOG makes it especially easy. At least that site is good for something.
It was my first time playing it but I still preferred the original graphics, same with when I played Monkey Island. There's something off-putting about the new visuals. I think because the originals were trying to look good and were developed alongside the game, and the new visuals were just trying to look "cleaner" while still keeping the same proportions and animations, which just looks awkward. It'd be better if they just remade the game from the ground-up, but that would require A LOT more work.
>>332393805
Did you even play it? Its a perfect Remaster, go buy a game for once poor fag
>>332392659
Why would I buy a game I played years ago and already beat multiple times?

>>332392659
Tim Schafer is knows to underdelivery and cash grabs
also scumm

i pirated, to check if it is worth it to me
i finished the game in 3 hours straight, already remember everything there is
the commentary sound is shit, constant volume ups and downs
graphics are sold as 'redrawn' and it its obviously a filtered remaster
the only real work went into the sound effects, music, and sexy menu
will buy when bundled
thank you
>>332400746
No if I was a hipster I would have played the game before it was cool, fucking pretender phony sheeple.
What are some other great adventure games? I've already played Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island.
I'd rather play a new adventure game instead of a rehash.
>>332394254
They did not even make it, they payed a independent fan team to make the game after they got really far into development. Then they added the click wheel, contoller support( left a fucking ps4 picture in a pc game), didnt fuck with maniac mansion ( thank god), added the old graphics and sounds with the switch on snd off button. Its solid but Id rather they just left the sound track alone
Because the tentacle looks like a terrorist
