GR-UK writes: We caught up with Tim Schafer at the Spanish GameLab conference, and conversation obviously turned to Sony's E3 announcement that classic adventure title Grim Fandango was getting a remaster.
"It's just so exciting that's happening," Schafer said. "We wanted it to happen for a long time. Some people just couldn't even play the game if they wanted to; they couldn't find it anywhere, they had to pirate it."
This should make fans happy. Grim Fandango has been resurrected to hit the turntable once again for the game's 25th anniversary! In partnership with Double Fine Productions and Disney, iam8bit is repressing the fan-favorite Grim Fandango 2xLP Vinyl Soundtrack.
Over 30-year industry veteran and Double Fine CEO Tim Schafer talks to IGN about Xbox and Game Pass, making weirder games, his inspirations, the Psychonauts 2 documentary, improving work culture, his future plans, and the deep importance of making games with and for other human beings.
Great interview and really down to earth guy. I’m interested in watching the documentary they made on the making of Psychonauts 2 .
The 1990s were the golden age of point and click narrative adventures, and Grim Fandango was its pinnacle.
