EB: This week’s new video game releases aren’t as weak as last week’s, but they’re still not that exciting. Although, there are a few worth looking into such as the new Amplitude and Grim Fandango Remastered for the PS4. Outside of those Hardware: Rivals also seems interesting, but the other new releases will need careful analysis before you make a purchase.
Andrew M writes: "Amplitude is returning to the Endless universe in Endless Dungeons, which follows a team of shipwrecked heroes aboard a space station full of monsters."
Dave writes: "The weakest of the LucasArts remasters, Grim Fandango Remastered on Xbox One has aged the most in terms of its visuals and obscure puzzling. There’s a fantastic story being told here, with Glottis, Manny, Chepito and the rest being absolute belters. But they’re stuck in a limbo of bloated sandboxes, plodding character speeds and puzzles that should have come with a pre-packaged walkthrough."
Cade writes: "Double Fine and Lucasarts fans rejoice! Remasters of three classic adventure games are launching on the Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass. Grim Fandango Remastered, Full Throttle Remastered, and Day of the Tentacle Remastered are finally going to be in the hands of Xbox players."
And they have been awesome for an even longer time than they have been remastered.Played all of these first time round, along with Monkey island series . A time when point n' click adventures where at their pinnacle, and when eight or sixteen colours on screen was considered bleeding edge graphics. I'm not sure if a modern audience will embrace them in the same way today, but I sure hope they do. Maybe I'll have to drag out my old DX66 based DOS BOX for a replay of the orignals.
What gamers want is more time off to finish all those Crimbo games lol
