Day of the Tentacle: Special Edition (Linux, Mac, PC, PS4/V)

Just announced by Tim Schafer at PlayStation Experience!

The Monkey Island re-releases were REALLY GOOD, I'm optimistic.

If they include Maniac Mansion, I hope they base it on the superior NES version.

Wat wat WAT?

Maniac PC's content on NES's engine (with NES music obv) would be the ultimate.

I'll take that. The NES music is key. I tend to think the graphics are stylistically a lot better.

The first MI rerelease was pretty awful. The voices were a great addition but not worth staring at that ugly art for. The second was better, since it let you mix and match old graphics and new audio.

Day of the Tentacle already had the voice acting, so my interest in this will largely depend on the quality of the remade artwork.

As for Maniac Mansion, I'll just wait for the Night of the Meteor remake

I'm pretty happy that Disney isn't being as shitty as LucasArts about these licenses.

"Whichever one was on XBLA" was fine.

No. I don't want Maniac Mansion to have that wacky Saturday morning cartoon vibe. My memories of it are so much better than that.

Of course, I'll still play it.
