I can hardly wait for the Gabriel release.

I never could understand how Gabriel Knight
didn't translate to the big screen. Even the
small screen would be great. He is such a good
an interesting character.

Hopefully someday before 20 more years pass
we'll see Gabriel and Grace in a new adventure.

And how fabulous could a film trilogy of Gabriel Knight prove to be ??
As good as the Indiana Jones series, in my opinion !! yay

Better than Indiana Jones, because it would not be mindless action where Indiana sleeps just like that with the main heroine after a few insults have been exchanged. Have you seen the films recently? I was astonished at what we considered so great in the days. But hey, I guess it was very successful.

But a Gabriel Knight series would have real emotions in it, and more complicated relationships with more elaborate plots. It would be fantastic.

Well, a lot would, of course, depend on who got to direct the films, which actors played the vital roles and no doubt many other factors besides !! grin

So there's no guarantee we would get the interpretation WE might want rolleyes

The Indiana Jones films were always advertised as "full on action" so no misconceptions there - and given that they were smash hits, a lot of people must have enjoyed them as just that yes

[Plus, in fiction, especially modern fiction, people do seem to jump into bed with each other after the flimsiest of introductions !! lol]

For all of you who are anticipating the remake of GK1, here's Jane Jensen on why there's a resurrgence of Adventure Games.
It includes some shots of the anniversary edition that aren't in the trailer.

Thanks, Gil. The more people who buy the remake of Gabriel Knight 1 this summer, the more likely it will be, I think, that we see a Gabriel Knight 4. I'm certainly looking forward to playing the remake. wave

Thanks BrownEyedTigre for the links - it's looking good!

Yes, I do agree traveler that Gabe looks too sweet and girlish & am surprised at him not being portrayed as more rugged but.....

The developers must be expecting some blow back from the new voices; I can't think of another reason not to at least let us hear Gabe.


....I've just read recently that the voice actor for Gabe is a great fan of the series & has managed to emulate Tim curry's voice well enough to hardly tell the difference. If that's true then the combination of that with Gabe's appearance could work in the game & possibly be very appealing? Also Gabe will still retain his original personality.

GK4 would be more to the point.


I completely disagree - although the graphics were probably very good for the time I think such an excellent game deserves a lot better now it's possible!
I had to play the original in windowed mode & even then the game was very pixellated.

I have read that if the game is successful there are no plans to remake either GK2 or GK3 but a GK4 is on the agenda!
