Return to Monkey Island won’t fully return everything Fans may remember.
In a recent (and very rare!) interview with Ars Technica from the folks at Eurogamer, Monkey Island co-creators Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman gave their first hints at what the long-awaited sequel might look like.
Although the two are tight-lipped about what Return to Monkey Island It will be about, they are open to some of the things they want to change.
“it is new monkey island game instead other Monkey Island, it’s a subtle distinction, but an important one,” Grossman said.
Two new things in the store: Hint System and Casual Mode. In just about every other video game (except maybe the FromSoftware title), it’s no big deal, but for the Monkey Island title, it is.as a sequel Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge (Return to Monkey Island will ignore the next three Ron Gilbert-less sequels), Return to Monkey Island Follow the pinnacle of the classic adventure game, known not only for its wit, charm and character, but also for its extremely difficult puzzles that encourage players to embrace the game’s sometimes absurd logic and find the developer’s answer in every scene everything hidden in.
But it’s been 31 years monkey island 2 Expectations are different, Gilbert said. According to Ars Technica:
Gilbert said a large part of the reason he changed his mind was simply the rise of the internet.In the early ’90s, before the Internet became widespread, getting caught in a completely incomprehensible puzzle was just “what? [adventure game] Players look forward to it,” he said. Today, however, “if [players] There’s no built-in prompt system, they just jump to the web… read the walkthrough. ” To prevent this, Return to Monkey Island A cue system designed to make sense “in fantasy” will be included, Gilbert said. It will provide “more than a walkthrough”.
The full interview is well worth reading – both Gilbert and Grossman are old-school legends who don’t like to hype their place in gaming history, but are always very insightful, even if they’re grumpy.
Return to Monkey Island It is scheduled to be released later this year.
