Okay, this is killing me. I don't remember even liking the game, but I have to know what it was called. I played it on the PC. It's probably from the late 90's or VERY early 00's. It's a third-person, 3D action game. The opening cutscene begins with the protagonist crashing his airship in...

I hate to say anything remotely critical about this song, because it's another stellar MoS creation, but I can't help but feel that you're kind of holding back on the vocals for the purpose of making them clean/flawless. And whilst spot-free vocals are good, what a track like THIS needs is some...

I'm one of them, and I'm not annoyed at all. Being a backer comes with the deal of watching the project's development unfold, meaning we all got to see exactly how they got themselves into this apparent pickle... and it's not anywhere near as scary as it seems. They overshot big-time, for sure...

Tim's been doing a LOT with all the money he got. He's actually been doing more that 'the money' could handle, and has had to find other ways of fully funding this now-very-vast adventure game. The company got plenty of criticism for it, but the move itself...

It's a little more promising than you're anticipating, though. For one thing, the characters can actually talk, and Tim Schafer loves writing (as we all know), so I'm sure there'll be character commentary aplenty. I too hope there is an 'examine' option, but even if there isn't, I'm sure...

It's probably going to be the same interface that 'Tales of Monkey Island' and 'Night of the Rabbit' have (whereas 'Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars' had two interactions: 'examine' and 'use'), which isn't a bad thing, because that worked well for both of those games. But, ideally, it...

Mind explaining this comment?

Exactly. Great games undersell all the time. Tim's own output in the past has been a testament to this.

Thank you! It's no wonder Double Fine withheld this news until after the Kickstarter for 'Massive Chalice' had been wrapped up, what with the number of shambling morons on the internet, who are capable of mentally misconstruing even the clearest of explanations.

Making a bigger game isn't something that Tim 'had to do'; it's something Tim wanted to do, and something he probably would've jumped at as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

I'm sure they'll learn from this experience. I can't see this happening twice; they'll be trying to avoid it at all cost. Even for this to happen once is a huge blow to the company's reputation.

Well, among other things...

Just so you know, my post wasn't a response to any particular comment that's been made so far; it was made in advance, because based on how news like this is generally received, I can predict a lot of harsh, misinformed criticism to come. Also, yes, Double Fine did indeed get eight times...

Great, here we go. A great opportunity for internet inhabitants to criticize someone as a fashion statement. Nothing quite like a bit of cheap mud-slinging to make you feel witty. Ignore the fact that a small developer has stretched themselves a bit thin simply because they're thinking big, and...

When can we finally drop this?
