I've learned that whenever a company does this, it's always best to expect the least desirable choice.

Still, the game is really fun.

If you owned Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror, you now have the remastered version available to download for free. There's also a 3 day Broken Sword promo, so if you buy them all, you'll save 50% or 30% individually.

I played the first one not too long ago and I didn't feel like buying again another version of the second one. Pretty classy of GOG to give us the remastered version for free when we already have the original.

Never have completed it so this will give me the motivation to play through it.

Ooh, that's really nice. Along with how they provided the original Broken Sword for free for those who had bought the Director's Cut version, I'm really glad I bought the series on GOG instead of Steam.

That is really awesome of them. I actually don't have a GoG version though! I should do as one of my lecturers at University was one of the developers, so going to go and pick that up.

A part of me wants to deny it's 2K Games because they're owned by Take-Two Interactive which is based in New York. I find it odd they would sign a deal with the subsidiary and not the owner. It would be like if they signed a deal with Eidos directly instead of going through Square-Enix. Big Sal Graziano posted:I've learned that whenever a company does this, it's always best to expect the least desirable choice. I guess between EA, 2K, and Microsoft then MS would be the least desirable. It's still unlikely because they're pushing their own horrible platform. If anything 2K gives us the first thing better be Alpha Centauri.

I've just bought the Broken Sword collection as I'm on an adventure binge right now. The HD resolution on the remakes sound nice but I'm hearing some bad things about how they're not true to the original, especially the first one's 'Director's Cut', and it's difficult to tell if it's just purist complaining or legitimate problems. Having never played them, should I stick with the originals or just jump into the remasters?

GoG needs to stop putting adventure games on sale. I'm still trying to finish The Witcher 2 and have both Syberia games from the last sale to go through.

I played the remastered edition before the original and the pacing felt broken. I'd play the original first and the remake after a while (new puzzles are ok). They are goodish adventure games. Not Lucas Arts/Gabriel Knight quality but definitely better than King's Quests etc. The third is quite weak though.

Also, they do some weird thing where they zoom in on the scenes in the director's cut that makes the great looking but dated 2D artwork even more blurry than in the original. The writing in the games is top notch though. I've never played a game with so much memorable dialogue. kuddles fucked around with this message at 16:46 on May 31, 2011 |

I already own a hard copy of BS2 from years ago and have completed it a few times over the years, so is there really any point in me getting the remastered version? Eh, looking at the screen shots and the zoomed in faces thing looks kinda dumb and the rest of the game looks exactly the same. Is there any added stuff for BS2 or was that BS1 only?

Why not though? It's as fun as it is corny; it gives GOG a little bit more advertisement by making a big deal of it; it's a deal with a very large publisher that's good for more than 25 games.

Agreed, it's just a bit of fun and more games is always good for GoG. Any ideas on what we should be expecting?

Microsoft would give us all the Age of ______ games which would be fantastic. Take Two would be the worst imho. That said, per my rule that the more hyped up something is the worst the outcome, that means Take Two will be the publisher announcement.

So, the publishers being greyed-out, does that mean they're not one of the two 'almost ready' publishers they've talked about? Or is it just that they're not the one being announced on june 2nd?
