Ben Jordan: Special Editions

Grundislav · Thu 01/04/2010 02:22:49

After the success of the Deluxe versions of BJ1 and BJ2, I've decided to start from the beginning again and put out Special Editions of all the Ben Jordan games, just like LucasArts is doing with Monkey Island.

I'm starting with Case 1, obviously, and will redo all the cases, then release them all along with Case 8 on a Special Edition DVD which will be sold for $29.99.

Each case will feature revamped hi-res graphics, voice acting, live music, and designer commentary. I'll post in the GiP forum soon, but right now I just have this one screenshot to show:

As you can see the backgrounds have been redone in high res to simulate a watercolor painting, and the character sprites have also been touched up for a more modern appearance.

Estimated release date: December 21, 2012.

That last line was the icing on the cake!

At least it doesn't look like this...

I'm glad you decided to go in a different direction.

I dont like that watercolor style

You should go on a full well done all Pixelart remake, now thats something I would gladly pay for

Awwww Another one?

Are you going to ditch our project? It's almost completed already.

ya know... Ben Jordan always looks like he's in pajamas.. now he has the bed hair to go with it.

I hope the Skunkape has haunches this time.

April fools day joke

right?

You're joking, right? You can because it's April fools

Buckethead · Thu 01/04/2010 09:07:15

You are underselling yourself man. You should aks that kind of money for each part.

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Thu 01/04/2010 09:19:33

The hair is clearly the best part of this remake. I've always said Ben needed more hair, and here it is in all its red glory!

IndieBoy · Thu 01/04/2010 09:22:16

Man, Grundislav, you have gone all one-trick pony on us.

BiggerJ · Thu 01/04/2010 09:39:46

Hey, don't forget to permanently remove all the free versions of the games from your site, demand that all other sites that host them remove them, and threaten litigation against anyone who makes them available.

veryweirdguy · Thu 01/04/2010 11:05:33

I support this 100%, and look forward to the reboot of the remakes.

Crimson Wizard · Thu 01/04/2010 12:41:47

Whether it is a joke or not, but I must say, I hate how BJ looks on that "screenshot"

Chicky · Thu 01/04/2010 12:47:13

I love the hair, almost as awesome as Guybrush's re-make hair.

Sam. · Thu 01/04/2010 13:16:53

I like it. Maybe now you'll put some effort into your "games".

m0ds · Thu 01/04/2010 13:41:29

Can't wait to play! But yes 29,99 - isn't that a little cheap?? Surely each game would be worth about 14.99, multiply by 8, give the customer maybe a little discount - making $99 a better price IMO. When can we pre-order?

Matti · Thu 01/04/2010 14:00:09

The watercolor effect is nice, but you forgot to add a lensflare.

Captain Ricco · Thu 01/04/2010 22:34:42

Theres a sniper on the roof!
Everybody down!!
