King's Quest 8 remake

[ThunderChild]

Didnt you meant replace MoE w/ MoE

King's Quest 8, replace MoE with the bold letters in your browser.

All because some bloke(s) here decided to force his/their thoughts and believes onto the rest of us . . .

This sounds really promising. Is it going to tie MoE to the other games more and is it going to be more puzzles than action?

this forum is whacked cuz u type k-q-8 and it changes to MoE.

well, it won't have much action/ violence/ gore.  the most it will have is click ur sword on someting and it's all automatic and not gory.
it will be close to the original unless people want to change something or add something, they can post on our forum.
  also join our forum if you havent alredy.

Kinda makes me scratch my head at the PURPOSE of a remake then...

[waltzdancing]

I have joined, but I see PirateKingChris' point too. If it is a point and click action game why do a remake?  I guess I wasn't clear in my question, is it going to hold to the original Kings Quest fundamentals of adventrue strategy puzzle game. Or is it going to be a point and click action game?

Or maybe I am just confused? 

Sorry.

[atec123]

MoE original was not point and click.  this 1 will be. it will be easier to use and less violent.  many other reasons too but these are the top 2 reasons.  it will be simalar to the original in storyline.

All because some bloke(s) here decided to force his/their thoughts and believes onto the rest of us . . .

Actually, it's more because the majority of KQ fans do not consider Mask of Eternity to even be a KQ game, much less the 8th in the series.  Instead of continuing to mislead people, we treat MoE as what it is -- a game in its own right.

it will be simalar to the original in storyline.

Personally, I don't really see the point in remaking MoE and keeping the original storyline.  It would be much more enjoyable if you remade it into an adventure game, and connected Connor's character more with the Royal Family of Daventry.  There are plenty of way better action games out there, so I doubt you'd be doing anyone a great disservice by leaving it out.

Again:

If people want to call it K.Q8 rather then MoE, then they should be able to do so regardless of what the majority thinks of believes. By doing differently and thus forcing an opinion onto others is a dangerous line of thought . . .

[PirateKingChris]

Well the majority of people here don't consider it King's Quest 8, so we call it MOE. That's all Yonkey meant.

[atec123]

if anyone here wants to help add to th storyline, put requests in th "extras" forum on our forum.

im going to have a poll on our forum and maby some other forums if it should stay true to the original or if it should be new storyline

By original do you mean what was written and conceived (Which was hacked down considerably to what MOE became.) or what MOE was at publication?

I think the general consensus of this forum would be to see what was originally written and conceived. (Without the fighting).

that is most likely what i wanna do.  i want to have lots of th same puzzles, but not all th same as the publication.  if you want to help w/ somthing, join th forum.

[dark-daventry]

As I have stated in the other thread on this, I think it's best if the remake follow the original conceived ideas that were thrown out the window...

[atec123]

i agree.
I am looking for info right now.

[PirateKingChris]

See now THAT game I'd play!

What about QfG -style combat?

[atec123]

idk

[dark-daventry]

I've never played Quest for Glory, but I'd say keep the game as close to Roberta's intentions. If those intentions include combat of some kind, perhaps incorporate a different type of combat system than in the finished product of MoE.

[atec123]

yes, i hate the combat in MoE
