A masterpiece is always a masterpiece! You can hardly make it worse in a re-edition. And the Remastered edition is actually quite nice - as long as your new PC complies with rather too high Minimum requirements. The textures of all characters looks fine now, and the game could be actually played with a mouse (although you do get an achievement for beating it the good old way). The developers' commentaries are subtitled, and in all six languages the remake supports. So, arguably the best adventure game of all times is even better now. And I actually envy those people who have not played 'Grim Fandango' in 1998 - you have a memorable experience awaiting you now.Show moreShow less

Great game, poor remaster. Dialouge options disappear, the required specs are much too high given how old and simple the game is, FPS fluctuates for no apparent reason, and cutscenes skip on their own. I will not be playing this version of the game until they patch it. It's just too buggy as of now, which is a big disappointment. I was really looking forward to playing this game in HD.Show moreShow less

Grim Fandango Remastered is another game that I started a long time ago and then only recently came back to to finish. Since I'd played through the original release of the game many times before, it was easy to not prioritise, but it was still nice to dive back into and finish off. I've written before about what Grim Fandango is and the context it came from, so I'd rather focus on the new features in the remastered version here. Being higher fidelity than Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango suffers less from the ups and downsides of interpretation. The enhancements are for the most part more subtle and revolve around removing compression, improving lighting/shading techniques, increasing the rendering resolution and repainting textures. For better or worse, the asset sources for the backgrounds and cutscenes weren't available to the remastering team, and so re-rendering these at higher resolution or with a 16:9 aspect ratio wasn't achievable. What's in the remastered edition is more or less what was in the original game minus compression artifacting and palette reduction. Likewise, updating character models and animations was beyond the scope of the remaster. The changes that have been made, though subtle add a lot to the experience in terms of supporting the game's atmosphere. For example, in many players' memories, characters in Manny's office are moodily lit by late afternoon sun filtering in through blinds, but in reality, that was only present in the pre-rendered backgrounds. The remastered edition includes additional real-time lighting that casts those same slanted shadows on the characters, helping them blend more seamlessly in with the scene. Another subtle tweak involved pulling harsh corners off collision the boxes that in the original game would often send Manny bouncing in the opposite direction when trying to run past a table. For many people, the star feature of the remastered edition is new point-and-click style controls. Community developer, Tobias Pfaff, who previously worked on a ResidualVM fork that provided point-and-clicks style controls for Grim Fandango was brought onboard as a consultant to assist with the remastered edition implementation. Being able to explore scenes with a mouse cursor vs running Manny around has allowed many previously hidden objects and exits to become more discoverable to players. The dead-end highway scene will finally be getting the attention it deserves. The usual fare of commentaries and concept art are present. Both provide some lovely insights into the game, but as with previous LucasArts Special Editions/Remastered editions, only being able to access the commentaries during gameplay feels a bit awkward when it comes to knowing whether you've heard everything and/or referring back to a specific track that's no longer accessible. Ultimately, the biggest value for me personally is in being able to share Grim Fandango with people who weren't otherwise able to acquire a legal copy, and to have proper support on Linux. I didn't work directly on Grim Fandango, but I did help out with testing and troubleshooting some Linux issues, which I suspect played a small role in opening the doors that allowed me to work on Day of the Tentacle Remastered. This was originally written as part of a retrospective on games I finished in 2016.Show moreShow less

Don't get me wrong. This is a fantastic game , and you should play it. -------------------------------------------------- BUT. This isn't remastered, these are exactly the same low resolution graphics as back in the day with just the models of the characters rendered on top of it in a higher resolution with some better testures. What I would expect from a Remastered 3D adventure, The original scenes re-rendered in a higher resolution or have them rendered realtime. They are very basic models tbh. If you really want to go out of your way .. more complex models instead of the 50 polygon affairs that were all computers could take back when the game came out. Shame on you Double Fine. Monkey Island was such a success, I guess you just assumed you could wing it with this one and people would still buy it ?Show moreShow less

While Grim Fandango Remastered might be a nostalgic feast for the veteran PC gamers and a welcome delight for the rest, the added touches offer a deeper insight behind just capitalising on a cult classic; it’s a historical tribute to the style of award winning games that were once held back by technical limitations. Alone Grim Fandango is a testament to the genius behind a production that can craft such an award winning formula on a pocket change budget, yet to have their project stand the test of time near two decades later is equally as marvellous.Show moreShow less

First of all, this is not a review of an actual game, The game is great, clever and witty. If you've never played it and always wanted, get it. Now, to call this a Remaster is a bit of a stretch, i'd call it a Cash-grab. To be honest, i got it just so i could play Grim Fandango without compatibility issues, but it still upsets me that they're selling the same game again while all the "special" features are just lazy and perfectly complete the ruining of the Monkey Island and the story of a 3.3 million dollar man. First of all, all cutscenes are the exact same as they were in the original, low-res, flattish and that special 90s kind of 3D. This wouldn't be so bad, but it's jarring when they use it ingame, as part of a scene, when a perfectly crisp character suddenly becomes pixelated and covered in jpeg artifacts. Second of all, ALL of the backdrops and static images are the EXACT SAME as they were in the original, yes this means they're low-res, low-quality mess, which would be fine years ago, but not fitting the "Remastered" title at all. Look at recently released Resident Evil, which is a port of a Remastered edition. All of the backdrops are done from scratch, not to mention every aspect of the game improved. The only part that's redone is the character textures, but being so simplistic, i don't see how that is an achievement. Now, let's move on to another "special" feature and that is lighting effects. It sounds cool right. Even looks good at Mannys office, but the second you step out of the first scene, it all falls apart. Now you see, as almost any old game, Grim Fandangos character models are mostly a number of blocks and primitive shapes skinned to a skeleton, which, when used with proper shading technique, may look nice. Now, new special feature ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MAKES EVERY DAMN BODY PART LIGHT UP AS A CHRISTMAS TREE, which is unspeakably amateurish, especially for a game studio like Double Fine. Well, use the "original" rendering, you might say. And i would've, but the "original" turns the rendering resolution all the way down to the original, so everything looks gloriously pixelated in the most widescreen possible way. So if you're expecting the adventures of Manny Calaverea look as good as you fondly remember them to be - don't. It would've been fine if it looked dated but crisp and coherent, but it's not only not looking anything like that, but also manages to fail at looking even decent. Great game ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Cashgrab Edition.Show moreShow less

im being totally objective about this; this game, for me is the - best game ever - best movie ever - best story ever - best soundtrack ever the profile picture is not a coincidence. been repping manuel for years. this game actually changed my life. i actually got into film school inspired by a pc game. that was almost a decade ago. also all those projects i did with the help of this soundtrack, great times. anyway, enough praise. grim fandango 11 out of 10. grim fandango remastered 9 out of 10, background work seems sloppy. i don't care either way. im just happy i can now add this to my favorite game showcase. remastered or not this is still a masterpiece. i still played it on a regular basis like every 5-6 months. now i got to do it in a remastered way. ps: please valve, add some cards, backgrounds, so i can level up to level 5, and get the foil badge as well. i want dem backgrounds.Show moreShow less

I played the original game a (really) long time ago and the game itself can't be better, but... The "remaster" seems just like a cheap one. All scenarios are exactly the same as the original no quality improvement (not bad but not as expected) 16:9 stretches the view (don't really know how to feel about this) Mouse controls leave actions out of the screen so you may miss things on the border of screens,(on the very first screen if you use the computer with the mouse controls you wont reach the use action) No XBOX360 controller layout (the most used and only officially supported pc controller from consoles) Here are some sreenshots to see what I'm talking about http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=382225522 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=382225497 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=382225465 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=382225434 ¿Is developer commentary worth your money? That and mouse control are the only added values to the original version. The game is still a jewel, but I don't think it's worth the full price listed now on steam.Show moreShow less

I've probably beaten Grim Fandango well over ten times, but the fresh look of Manny and the surprisingly deep commentary make this playthrough a brand new experience. I honestly can't say enough good things. These early day adventure games are a story driven experience, like playing a book, and afford you the opportunity to slip into a captivating world. Play this game. It's one of the best in the genre.Show moreShow less

It is what it is, a remastered version. With no resolution options. It's more like a re-released version. I think the price tag for it is a bit too high.Show moreShow less
