You aren't announcing a Kickstarter for this — it's already happening. Does that mean this is being funded by Activision and definitely coming out?
My indie studio, Pinkerton Road, is licensing the game from Activision and developing it ourselves. We’re not crowd-funding the project. And yes, it’s definitely coming out!

Let's talk a bit about your strategy with this re-release. You are re-making the art, but the core gamplay is going to stay the same, a point and click 2D adventure. As many fans know the GK series experimented with everything from live action to 3D. Did you ever consider re-making the game in a different style, in other words taking the story but re-interpreting it for a new generation?
When we looked at remakes like Monkey Island or Broken Sword, or even some of the King’s Quest remakes, we really felt Sins of the Fathers needed to stay true to the original story and gameplay, both for reasons of nostalgia but also because it worked. We didn’t want to completely change the formula and break it! And the game deserved to be remade lovingly, just as it was. We are adding in a few new things here and there, but I wanted the original to be fully represented.

Is there anything new we can expect in the design, any new puzzles, scenes or dialogue?
One of my goals going in was to pump up the New Orleans flavor and also the spookiness where possible, so there are a couple of new backgrounds and puzzles that aim to do that. But that’s on top of the original content, not replacing it.

I understand that the great Tim Curry will not be reprising his voiceover role in the game. In fact you've had to re-record and re-cast the entire game. Why is that?
Tim Curry was great! We didn’t have the original audio files, and at the time Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers shipped, the audio was pretty compressed. So to just strip it out of the original game didn’t yield a good quality. We had to rerecord. Because it’s been twenty years, most of the original actors would not sound the same and also the cost of getting that original cast was prohibitive. We really lucked out with Sins of the Fathers in 1993 because it was one of the first video games to use Hollywood actors like that, so everyone gave us a smoking deal (including SAG)! For the remake we used Bay Area Sound, who have done a lot of games with Telltale including Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island, and The Walking Dead. So we were in good hands and got good results.

Your husband Robert wrote an incredible score for the game, I still remember how fantastic it sounded on my Roland sound card. Is the music being updated or re-recorded as well?
Yes, like the art, the original music is being redone with all the modern tools and it sounds amazing!
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

Second was so good, one of the best adventure games by far the best movie type game, or game that used cut-scenes for everything, even picking shit up.
I played GK 1 and 2 for the first time a few months ago and I found them to be two of the best games ever made. No nostalgia here, I judge them by today's standards. While there are some user interface annoyances and some pixel hunting, the stories and dialogues are timeless.
Gabes bookstore looks awesome! And that Remastered theme song!

Just continue with the third one. For me the best of the trilogy and still the best story in a video game.
Haha, well apparently the gameplay won't be changed at all, which is positive. As long as the pixelated environments and characters get replaced by detailed ones a-la Monkey Island's Special Edition, I think it's fine.
Though as always with these HD versions, it's easy to lose the original look and its magic when you completely upgrade the visuals. So let's hope they don't screw this up!
Curry as Gabriel is considered as one of the worst voice actors. GK fans consider him as a legend just because he is so legendary bad. I'm sure I won't miss ether him or Hamill. Grace, on other hand, was awesome in first one, but the explanation for no using old recordings is quite valid and would only upset some of lesser intelligence.

i love gk 3 curry voice, love love love.
whay are u sayng such things?
Ok lets start with the fact that they don't have the original recordings for the voices for whatever reason and the audio they can extract from the game is to poor in quality they said.
The second point is that apparently GK was one of the earlier games with voice-acting in it and so they got a great deal with the Hollywood actors (and lucky they mention). They don't have the money to rehire Hollywood actors again it seems (it's not a big budget remake whatever you might think).
Thats basically it. It's not because they didn't love the voices in the first game as much as you or me...

but then lets add a option to play those 2200khz original voices , not ignore them altogether and replace them with no-names that sound alike the originals

The bloom looks meh everything else about it is not that bad.

eh?
the new one looks great
i hate hidden object games too but many of them still LOOK good
that's all that is important here
i'm more concerned how they are going to integrate the character models in that, unless they do some fancy shading in layers
losing the voice cast is really depressing
i'm sure some restoration could be done to them and only rerecord the worst quality or important bits
Figured this deserved its own thread. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but my previous statement that GK would be available on Linux turns out to be incorrect. I can't even begin to imagine why, but Activision isn't allowing the game to be made for that platform. Just PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices.
