Does anyone know if the motorboat controls are redone as well?

That question is answered in the video, I'll add it to the first post too

worth watching because tim schafer is a funny fucking guy

in the broken age documentary, he goes through the pages of where he was trying to come up with the name for what would be known as grim fandango, and he comes to the page where he wrote down the name.

In giant bubble letters, Grim Fandango, and in a footnote underneath in all caps "I'M A FUCKING GENIUS"

I'll wait for the Steam preorders. But yes, very much want.

It's out!

Time to for a non-stop play through!

Well, it was as enjoyable as I remember but this is the most half-assed 'remastered' game that I have seen.
The background sets were untouched, the 3D models have slightly higher res textures and it still crashes a lot. It feels very rushed.
The commentary is nice though.

Well, it's not like they had access to the masters for the pre-rendered backgrounds. (And there's only so much they could of hypothetically done with them because they wouldn't be able to hire the original artist team for a $15 downloadable game, most likely.) Experienced 0 crashes or animation glitches.

Hell, to redo some of the stuff they just so happened to know someone who had a machine that had the port that the proprietary Lucasarts backup medium used that he just so happened to decide to keep when he went dumpster diving. It's a miracle we have a cheap and legal way to play this masterpiece, considering Disney shuttered Lucasarts' it's a wonder they didn't destroy all that stuff or let the laid off employees have a field day with it. It's a remaster, and remastering is exactly what they did. They touched up what they could, they rerecorded the entire OST with a symphonic orchestra, made it work properly on modern machines without having to download a program to downclock your CPU so that you can complete a section of the game.
