And it's download day from GOG! I'm so excited.

I already downloaded from Steam and have it running!

Woohoo!

Wow !! Fabulous !! I'm off to get it

Thanks, BrownEyedTigre

Rusty Anchor here I come ...

It's a beautiful thing!

I downloaded mine from GOG at 3 am this morning before I went to work, and it was waiting for me when I got home. They've done a fantastic job with it. I love the decorative border on the sides. Makes it a lot more interesting than just looking at black bars. The lighting, new characters and music are all fantastic.

I did run into one bug. It crashed on me right after the first year transition scene, right before the Rubacava chapter. I went back to test it again, and the same thing happened. Luckily, if I skip the scene, I can bypass the issue. So for now, I just save, watch the scene, then reload and skip it. It's a pain, and hopefully they'll be a patch for it later, but it's no big deal. Other than that, I'm loving it so far.

@Laura, I make sure to have Glottis sing that song every time I play.

same as Venus ....started downloading it before i went to work ....hehe can't wait to go home and try it

Busy. Playing.....

I hope you're all enjoying the game.

I am!!!

Great!

I'm loving it. Believe it or not,I'm finding it harder as a point and click game.
I've played the original a dozen times. Ok I'm off to find my old walkthrough.

PS....Venus What new characters are you talking about ?

Cathy

Hey Cathy, I had to go back and re-read my comment. I meant "new character models," but clearly my proofreading skills were lacking in that post. Really, I don't know whether they're actually new character models, or just polished versions of the old ones, but either way, they look great. There are no new characters. Sorry about the confusion.

Playing now! Never finished the original...not a fan of those old tank controls. Hope I get further this time around. 3rd pp p&c is right up my street! Loving it so far.

I see from Cathy's post that the game is now 'point and click' driven. I was put off from buying this game as I recalled the original game to be more or less driven by the keyboard. Can a Boomer please confirm that it is now 'point and click' because, if it is I will go and by it. Thanks

Bernie

Yes, it is, that was part of the remaster. It's wonderful!

Thanks very much Ana. Now off to buy it

Bernie

I actually prefer the original keyboard control. It gives the game a bit more personality, directly controlling Manny while keeping tabs on his head direction for hotspots... And those extra icons are distracting to me...

You can use the keyboard if you like, everyone can choose how they like to play.

Ana

I'm doing the happy dance! Manny isn't "pinball machining" around and I can concentrate on the game, not which key to use. I especially like the inventory - it actually works!

It's awesome Drac, what a great trip back in time. So much better with the new controls and I'm laughing my way through.

I was cracking up at the the balloon dude with his off-color comments! If you don't pay attention to all the dialogue, you will miss some great stuff.

Hi

I just got Grim and it sure is a LOT better to play then the old one

what is the diff between a Remastered and a remake??



Have a nice day Boomers~Doc

Remastered usually means taking a game and converting it to a higher quality, whereas a remake means they may have changed the content while keeping the original in mind. That's the distinction as far as I can tell, anyway.

I listened to every bit of dialogue! And that's a rarity for me!

Love the original, but love this version better because of the ease of the controls.

Is it just me, but doesn't Eva the secretary sound just like Mona Lisa Vito, Marisa Tomei, in "My Cousin Vinny?"

I alternated between the two controls schemes, using mostly point and click, as things seemed to run a lot more smoothly that way. However, there were certain things that I could only interact with using tank controls. Nothing essential for any puzzle solving, just extra dialogue that added flavor to the game. I only happened to know the objects were there because I've played the original so many times. I'm also really enjoying listening to all the commentary as I play.

Thanks Marian

Ana I never listen to all the dialogue but I've been listening to almost all of this





Doc

I remember a lot of people (myself included) having trouble running up the conveyor belt under the water. I wonder if that problem was addressed? If so, I probably will buy it even though I still have the dvd of the game.

I had no problems judith.

Ana

I am happy about this news and will be buying it in the near future from GOG, also happy it will work on Windows 8, just curious, a friend of mine still has XP and the Specs. from GOG and Steam both state that the Requirements are for Vista and Up, has anybody here tried or is using the Remastered version on XP? and if yes, does it work without a hitch?.

It also states that you need 4GB of RAM, has anybody tried this with say, 3 GB Rams or less?

Thanks
Ray

The other question would be, "does the XP have enough video card." Someone down in Glitches was saying the video requirements are pretty hefty.

Remastered version does not work on XP, I tried.
It seems that XP does not support OpenGL 3.3 that is required to run the game. And XP can't have 4 GB (unless you are on XP-64, which is very rare).

I bought that game as well from GOG, and it doesn't work on my WIN XP machine either. My fault because I hadn't read the specs before I purchased it. I contacted GOG Support, explained my problem, and they promptly gave me a store credit. They would have given me a full refund, but I preferred the credit instead. I then promptly purchased another game ("Supreme League Of Patriots") by using my store credit GOG is always really wonderful to do business with.
Sandy

That was a well known bug in the original version.
(I still have my original too, Judith ]

But surely a "re-master" will have sorted it

It posed no problem for me Mad.

Strange that the bug only showed up on some computers

Maybe our resident Techies can tell us why

Thanks for the response for those of you who tried running the game on XP, much appreciated.

Just a little note re RAMs on a 32 bit machine, it will take 4GB rams but it will just recognize up to about 3.2 to 3.5 out of the 4.

Again thanks and if any others have tried it on XP, I would be anxious to here about it.

Hi Ray, I was also guilty of purchasing this game and installing it on my XP computer. The game won't open but a message states "The Procedure Entry Point GetLocaleInfoEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll". I see others have the same problem, and message, after viewing various computer forums!

I intend upgrading to W 8.1 shortly and will download the game again when I do.

Bernie

Hi Bernie ,

Thanks for the info, much appreciated, with your answer combined with the answers from other members that pretty well says it all for XP, a good thing my friend wants me to upgrade his system to Windows 7, he was hesitant to do so for a long time but he is now convinced that it is time to move on.

Ray

It's funny how games keep us game nuts moving on in technology, however reluctantly! I've upgraded more than one PC to keep up with new game requirements!

Well, sometimes it's purely the cost of upgrading or replacing a computer that holds us back

I know - I had to wait quite awhile to be able to do the upgrade for Witcher 2.

Happened to me many times also - especially graphic cards.
