    Ok, so *why* don't they make a MI2 remake with all these hi-res scans?

    It would end up looking like that. Somehow. By some amazing out of contol way we cant even fathom, MI2 would turn into that. That and they don't have Steve Purcell or Larry Ahern around anymore to do proper re-drawn versions of all of the character animation.

    Blasphemy. I propose they've secretly kept super hi-res scans of all the background art, and while working with Steve Purcell on S&M2, they grabbed him for a few days to animate Guybrush in 640. And they hired voice actors. And they bugtested it in a new, XP-compatible engine. And they've got Business/Marketing working on it too. And it's going to be out this holiday season. And, by tomorrow, it'll be available for pre-order by people who frequently post stupid comments, at least one of which has all but one sentence starting with "and."

    In keeping with this concept of agreeing with ppl in comments. I couldnt agree more.

    'All that glitters is not gold'
    'Ooh but its so shiny! With 4xFSAA!'
    'Yes but there's better plot in a Mills + Boon novel....'

    The magic of 3d would transform Dreads ship into this

    Nice. Hmm, they haven't posted anything from Fate of Atlantis yet, have they?
