I wonder if they change the Road Rash segments in this version.

 

[abnaxus]

I hope they cut those out.

Ben’s been double-crossed before, but this time they messed with his gang, they trashed his bike, and they’re about to come back for more.

Originally released by LucasArts in 1995, Full Throttle is a classic graphic adventure game from industry legend Tim Schafer, telling the story of Ben Throttle, butt-kicking leader of biker gang the Polecats, who gets caught up in a take of motorcycles, mayhem and murder.

Now over 20 years later, Full Throttle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn and 3D high-resolution artwork, with remastered audio and music.

Players will be able to switch back and forth between classic and remastered modes, and mix-n-match audio, graphics and user interface options to their heart’s desire. Also included is a concept art browser with work from Peter Chan, and a commentary track with the game’s original creators.

Full Throttle was the first game with Tim Schafer as sole project lead, and a much beloved cult classic! This special edition has been lovingly restored and remade with the care and attention that can only come from involving the game's original creators. It’s headed to PS4 in 2017.

And PC too.

Yes!

Ben’s been double-crossed before

How apt.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Ben’s been double-fined before

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That looks fucking awful. Strange that modern gamerz seem to dig those sterile Flash-like graphics.

 

[laclongquan]

It's easier to animate is my guess.

Been playing Loom with my kids. That is a game that actually needs a remaster insofar as there is a talky version without music and a music version without talking, and certain close ups missing from one version that are present in the other, and so on. If one simply merged and cleaned up the audio from these versions, it would be a meaningful addition to the world of gaming.

Sorry, but the talky version is worse. The script is far worse with much of the humor removed.

Full Throttle Remastered release date set for April

Tim Schafer's 1996 biker-based point-and-kick adventure Full Throttle is finally getting its long-awaited HD remaster on 18th April for PC, PS4 and Vita.

It will cost $14.99 (or your local equivalent), though PS Plus members will get it for 20 per cent off. You can pre-order it now on PSN and GOG.com.

This remastered edition contains all new hand-drawn art, remastered audio and an improved UI. Like Double Fine's other remasters of Tim Schafer's classic Lucasarts adventures, players will be able to seamlessly switch back and forth between the classic edition and its contemporary upgrade at the touch of a button. You can even mix and match old and new options, should you want the new graphics and music merged with the classic interface.

For more on Full Throttle, we took a look back at the original game a couple of years ago wherein Eurogamer contributor Cara Ellison gives an impassioned plea as to why we should all play it. Little did we know at the time that a remaster was afoot.

This is very unlike Day of the Tentacle where everything was geometrical shapes, only needing a more higher res of the "pseudo polygons" and looked perfect in the remastered version. I really feel they are taking away some of the charm with this new Full Throttle. The pixels added a lot

Schafer is basically Ripburger at this point.

And Ron Gilbert is Corley Motors.

So.

Next One : the Dig ?

When do they go Beamdog and make the real Monkey Island 3 instead ?

 

[AetherVagrant]

Played and finished it this morning. Despite not urgently needing a remaster, it was *very* nice to play with smoother animations, and especially the remastered audio. The character faces are a little sterile, but seeing as the game was originally going for a cel-shaded cartoon look (but not quite pulling it off in 95) from the get-go, I don't think losing the pixelation really hurts the graphics, compared to something like Monkey Island or Q4G4.
Probably not worth the price till a sale, but younger gamers who never experienced it will find it a delight without needing nostalgia glasses or a taste for old games.
