it's time to make NEW games.

There are new games if you look for them. They usually have less marketing budget though so you have to make an effort.

the last NEW broken sword game they made though was TRASH. it was so lazy nearly every puzzle involved using your phone to hack which involved lame pipe puzzle games.

I'm not sure I'm convinced by how it looks, I guess I'll wait and see.

Is basically the first game again, so if you already have it you probably shouldn't bother. If you never played it; it is quite a good game so at least wishlist it and wair for a discount.

Your entitled to your opinion but i guarantee more people would agree with me on this than you. ive played both and BS1 is still the far superior game. I admit some of it is nostaglia from playing it back in 1997 on my playstation, but it is a genuinely great point and click game.

Ooo, I'm intrigued! What's the guarantee? Where's the contract for your guarantee, so it's legally binding?

 

[raxadian]

it didn't aged well

That's due to the CGI plastic surgery in the 90s.

Just played this (the original) and the second one not long ago with my gf as I wanted to show her the joy of a good point and click adventure

This reminds me of:

No new style?
Really, 2nd remaster?
This game shouldn't be news!

After some reading up on it im a bit less enthusastic about the remaster after hearing the directors cut content wont be present in it. especially considering with xBRZ in scummvm, you can make broken sword 1 look near modern anyway. ill still buy it but i cant help but mention that little bit of information

 

[Angelus3K]

I'll probably get it. Shadow of the Templars was the first Broken Sword game I ever played. It's probably my favorite one.

Well that makes sense seeing as it was the first Broken Sword game

I for one am glad the directors cut isn’t included. How could they have removed the original iconic intro. So yea I’m glad no DC.

Shovelware! How dare you sir!

But seriously, i don't think I've ever came across anyone with that opinion before. I assume you're not a huge fan of point 'n' click? This is usually considered to be one of the best.

I haven't played any of the "Classics" like Maniac Mansion, but I did thoroughly enjoy Freddie Fish and Putt-Putt as a child. Hell, I'd rather play those today than this game.
