Will you guys be showing off the game on Gamespot's live stage show? That would be cool. They still have some TBA slots in the schedule, so I'm just thinking it could be you guys.
We were on Gamespot's show today. Sorry I didn't think to post about it ahead of time, I didn't realize (or didn't really think through the fact) that it would be live. We also appeared on IGN and G4 today (the G4 segment will air tomorrow).
Here's another E3-related piece that you should read: MixnMojo
It kind of looks like the person moving Guybrush around is clicking on things to make him go places. That's promising.
Wonder what the solution is for getting onto that ship? Doesn't seem like the pirate on there wants Guybrush to get aboard. I'm ready to start solving some puzzles right now.
Honestly guys could you make those buttons available at the shop or at least give us the pictures so we can make our own? I totally dig that "Ask me about Monkey Island" button.
"Aye tradition! Whoever knocks the captain of the Screaming Narwhal off the deck, gets to be the captain!"
So it's clear what we have to do. And there seems to be some kind of rope winch near to where the soon-not-to-be-captain-anymore stands. Maybe one can do something with that? Oh, I just can't wait!
Gary! Thanks a lot for that poster image. I'll go to the city today to have it printed out on a huge poster!
Also, I would love to get my hands on a set of those buttons! Especially, of course, the "Ask me about..." one. Please, you've got to make them available to us somehow!
Please?
Pretty please?
Pretty pretty please?
Please pretty please with sugar on top?

Some of it does, but there are points where the cursor is hovering over parts of the background and Guybrush seems to walk directly towards them. I'm wondering if it's a compromise of WASD and mouse movement. Something I'd prefer to just WASD alone for moving.

In other words, it looks a lot like W&G controls :rolleyes:

That depends on if they're clicking the background or clicking objects. If they're only clicking objects to move with the mouse and using the keyboard the rest of the time, then it's just like W&G, which makes puppies cry.
The controls in the E3 build are not final. It's currently using the Wallace & Gromit controls but that won't necessarily be the case in the final version. (Although it will be using direct control in some form.)
Ahem... I Repeat as it seems my scream of horror came unnoticed! MURRAY IS NOT IN THE GAME.... YET!!! CURSES!!! WE WANT MURRAY!
I do like the joke about how Guybrush is going to talk to every skull he encounters to see if it's Murray. I can just hear Dominic's readings for that in my head.

Oh, please dont use Wallace&Gromit controls. I only played the demo, but the controls were awful.
So, are you happy with the preorders so far? Do they greenlit the second season already :P

Thanks Emily! It's nice to know the devs are willing to compromise.
Personally, I would be just happy with direct control so long as I could also click anywhere the screen to move. If I need to use the keyboard to get to some locations, so be it.

That's what I'm leaning towards as well. I would be more tolerant if when I clicked to walk, out of habit, Guybrush would humor me and actually do so.
That is not Le Chuck! It is Mancomb Seepgood!
Google it if you don't know who the hell that is.
Yeah, he does look more like Mancomb. But I can't help but picture the phone call to the Rent-a-pirate place...
"Ideally, we'd like to have a lanky, clean-shaven blondish pirate, a scary pirate with a big beard, and a lady pirate. If you could get us one of each of those, that'd be great..."
I'm really loving all the news/media we're getting on ToMI and it's only the first week. It's so often when a game is announced and nothing is really shown. Even with this game coming out soon, we really are getting a nice dose and I'm appreciative of it. As well as in a whole new dimension of excitement
I saw the video on gamespot before and the dialogue choices (especially the sock one) had me ecstatic that MI humor is fully back. THIS is the kind of humor that made me love this series from the start :cool:
Comments
Three cheers, sir.
Also, Leave it to TTG to give away for free something I just said I'd be willing to pay for.
Uhh, link?

ah so its MI4 controls
Still looks awesome
cheers for the link
No. No. No. A hundred times NO. It will not be MI4-controls.

Looks like W A S D controls

NO Murray = BAD MONKEY GAME ISLANDS!

Really, which is the bigger spoiler?
I love that Monkey Island Evolution t-shirt on the LucasArts website!

And the badge with monkey on it, say "What do they know?"
This is definitely going to be worth it!!
Oh, and those badges are awesome! I want them! I want them now!
Thanks Emily! It's nice to know the devs are willing to compromise.

I think it just says Monkeys. I hope Timmy the Monkey shows up.

The badge says "Monkeys: What do they know?"
Which can be read two different ways, I guess, whether or not your mind puts a "Pff," before it.
