I wonder what would happen if, say, Robert Rodriguez got to see this.

Full Throttle was always a big favorite of mine, shame the sequel never got going and that Roy Conrad (the voice of ben) died in 2002.
Seriously good game stories arent rocket science, just rope in some guys from TV (like from serenity or something) the games industry makes enough money to do that (specially as Halo 2 made more in reserved copies than most box office films do on there opening weekend)

Very nice, I find this preferable to actually trying to play an adventure game most of the time… I wish there was something like this with other ones.

better just to play it. the whole game doesn’t’ take much longer than this movie.

Oh man, Full Throttle was one of my favorites as a kid. Oh, to live in a time when games like X-Com and Magic Carpet came out and sold copies.

Hell… As i understand it Metal gear solid 4 was more movie than game, which is a shame as the mechanics were utterly beautiful at times(speaking from previous MGS’s haven’t played 4) But hell, the main man wanted to close Pandora’s box on the series.

What i mean to say is, games which should be movies isn’t an out of date thing. Heavy Rain looks like a lovely movie with its quick time event gameplay.

I don’t know about this sort of thing. If a game can be properly distilled into a movie by sucking out all the cutscenes and major dialogue bits, then it probably should have been a movie to start with.

Which is me saying that this “movie” misses the point, not that Full Throttle wasn’t a good game, because I beat it and it was.

hi res, and wide-screen means new art.

As for “compatible with new machines” they are mostly scumm and thus just work.

Hell, they’d work on the eye-phone.

This and every other LucasArts adventure game desperately needs a hi-res update. Don’t change anything but make them widescreen and compatible with new machines.

Pleeeeease.
