I thought they're remaking it in 2D. Or is it another one?

@Aeterna: I hope you're being sarcastic, this looks really amateur.

Slaveg, homer: the 360 one is a remake of the secret of monkey island. Tales of Monkey Island is a whole new story done by fans. Err. I mean TellTale.

There's something about Monkey Island in 3D that just doesn't sit right with me.

The animations looked weird when they talked, but I can dig a game were you punch people in the face, just ask Mass Effect.

Nothing can fail when releasing a Monkey Island game... NOTHING!
Not even my hubris will make this game suck... I hope.

Only problems might be the character design of Guybrush... And the PC and Wii only release. Wtf?

I agree. It's just because Curse was so beautifully done in hand crafted 2D.

Art style is kinda ugly but If it's got a lot of good humor I can over look it easily.

Well that was disappointing. The lip synchronising wasn't very good and the animation was pretty bad. The character designs don't look all that great and it wasn't really funny.

I meant it in a way saying that the 'humor' just seemed really forced.
Graphics? Who cares. I can still enjoy the monkey island games and enjoy them. 
If you really only care about the "amateur" look, then get the hell off my internet. ;)

@Aeterna: It's not the graphics that look amateur, it's the whole package and most of all the humour, as you said. It could just be that the trailer is amateur and the game is great, but there just didn't seem to be any wit here, which is what the MI games are famous for.

@SuperMooseman: Not strictly true. Ron Gilbert has limited involvement, Tim Schafer has no involvement, and the other dudes worked on Escape from Monkey Island which sucked. Dave Grossman is about the only one of the original designers who is actually on the team.

The trailer sucked.
The game hopefully will not.
Although I don't like the artstyle.

This trailer sucked. Totally sucked. But I'm sure just from experience with Telltale that the game will probably be great.

Considering how well Telltale has been treating "Sam and Max" and "Wallace and Gromit", I'm not too worried about this game, it's pretty excited for some more Monkey Island.

I agree-gree. But I think it's because the secret of monkey island was pretty beautifully and crafted.

Let's just hope that this keeps the spirit of ridiculously funny wittyness, then I'll get it for sure.

Aw, what!?  I thought this was supposed to be for the 360 as well!
Guess I'm going to have to get by with the remake.

I don't think the artstyle is a problem, Guybrush looks a lot like he did in Curse (which i loved). Would you rather have the horrible character designs from the last game?!

And as SuperMooseman mentions clips from an adventure game dosen't make a good trailer.

The only thing that really bugs me is the voice of Lechuck, he sounds so weak.

Glad it's back but if it's episode content on the pc I'll probably wait for the box set similar to Sam & Max or grab it on Steam after a few episodes are rolling.

Some thing seemed kind of "off" for me.  None of the lines really made me laugh.  I did like that it's the same voice from Curse (best Monkey Island yet) and Escape for Guybrush.  Still, just hearly the classic Monkey Island theme and knowing this is from the guys that brought Sam & Max back means I'm 100% guarenteed to buy this.

Actually, I like the art style more than the Monkey Island remake coming out so I dunno. I'm definitely interested, but not sold yet.
