PALGN writes: "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood is the fourth episode of the Tales of Monkey Island episodic series from Telltale Games, and blah blah blah, you know the score by now. We're getting close to the end of this episodic foray for the Monkey Island series, and so far Guybrush has outwitted a French doctor, met a race of mer-people and survived digestion by a giant manatee. But now it's time for him to face up to his crimes, as he returns to Flotsam Island for his trial by a pirate court. Does it make for exciting swashbuckling court proceedings, or are you best off photoshopping an eye patch onto a Phoenix Wright sprite?"
Character Evolution - Guybrush Threepwood
.... he was just so great in Monkey Island 1 and 2, design-wise.
... and then they went all cartoony with him for MI3, they went cartoony 3D with him in MI4, and they went butt-ugly redrawn sprite for the remakes of 1 and 2. Sadly.
There's some fan-art out there which shows how Guybrush SHOULD look when you do a HD-remake, which sticks true to the original design of the character while still looking great for todays' gamers.
Guybrush is such a brilliant character, but he hasn't been done justice by Lucasarts since Monkey Island 2. Sadly.
I like the how the remakes look. You can't possibly expect there to be a definitive 'remade Threepwood' when the first ones came out in early 90's. You could hardly tell certain pixels apart back then.
For all of you folks out there who are gaming on a budget, here are some sweet deals to take advantage of. It’s not every day that you get to play free video games, but here are several offers that will allow you to do just that.
Get some classic point and click action for super cheap thanks to pirates and silly sales.
