"Check out the new graphics in Grim Fandango Remastered! What game would you like to see redone? "
This should make fans happy. Grim Fandango has been resurrected to hit the turntable once again for the game's 25th anniversary! In partnership with Double Fine Productions and Disney, iam8bit is repressing the fan-favorite Grim Fandango 2xLP Vinyl Soundtrack.
The 1990s were the golden age of point and click narrative adventures, and Grim Fandango was its pinnacle.
Harrison Gowland found his start in adventure games, with a little underrated gem.
What is remastered about this? Not that it needs anything, it's a classic. But from a visual standpoint it looks the same.
Very minor differences, more like a port
It's a port all day. Some good areas but the facts don't change. They made more money lol.
I prefer the original to be fair but there's pretty much nothing in it what-so-ever. No matter which way you look at it this isn't a remaster by any stretch of the imagination it's just a port.
It's quite a naughty one at that because as said above, in the developer diaries they promised hi-res textures & lighting which appear to be none existent with the exception of the odd simple shadow here & there.
