Gold Rush Remake Is In The Works 19 Feb, 2014 / 6 comments

Gold Rush, one of the last official adventure games created on Sierra's AGI engine, developed by the MacNeill bros. and published by Sierra, is receiving a high definition remake, courtesy of Sunlight Games.

The adventure follows a man named Jerrod travel from New York to California in search of gold in 1848, at the cusp of the California Gold Rush. The game had three seperate routes to take to get to California, and the remake will be faithful to the original, with all three routes in-tact, and containing the original storyline. The remake will also allow you to optionally use a verb parser to control the game along with point and click for movement, or through complete point and click control. It is scheduled to be released some time from late 2014 to 2015, but if you'd rather not wait to play the remake, the original game will be re-released for PC and iOS later this spring.

    That looks just very bad... and Gold Rush is one of my favourite old Sierra adventure games so it pains me to see something like that.

    Man, I was ready to jump on you guys for being harsh till I looked at it for myself. These guys should have checked out The Silver Lining first, and made sure that 4 years later they were doing a better job for something they plan on charging for.

    My eyes... I could make better looking models and textures. Heck, the models are passable, but the textures are all over the place and it looks generic as heck. It's not a big developer and the game is pretty early in production, so I might be a bit too harsh. Time shall tell.

    I like the backgrounds in the outdoor scenes. But, yeah, Jarrod and the indoor scenes could definitely use some updating.

    I appreciate the effort but yeah. The 3D looks so lifeless and generic, it's depressing
