Activision, Phoenix Online and Jane Jensen.

So, the entire sorry saga with TSL didn't damage your chances for working on a Gabriel Knight remake, then?

[wilco64256]

It would seem not. We're very excited to be working on this project and hoping to do a solid job for us, for Jane, and for Activision.

I imagine Wilco's avatar to be the reaction face of the whole PO Studios team when they confirmed they were working with Jane Jensen to make a Gabriel Knight remake a reality

I think we had more cookies than that

More than just cookies, I'd think too!

Haha, I'd believe so as well

[Big C from Cauney island]

Phoenix is making a sequel to Gabriel Night? Did I miss something here?

Yes, they're remaking Gabriel Knight 1. More accurately Phoenix have been sub-contracted by Pinkerton Road (who're making the game for Activision) to code it.

Congrats and looking forward to it

I heard the news! Congratz on getting to remake GK1! It's looking great so far!

[HitBattousai]

Just as a general suggestion, I suspect this would have happened anyway, but a Gabriel Knight: 20th Anniversary section on the forum would probably be good.

[KatieHal]

Indeed! Created, and I'm moving this topic over there

[Bludshot]

I hope it brings more fans to the series, though I can't say I see a reason to purchase it with the original readily available and still good looking, with a solid credit of actors no less.

Of course if this led to a remake of The Beast Within then that would be swell.

[HitBattousai]

One obvious reason to get the game is if the remake is popular enough, the sales might inspire some backing for a fourth GK, new games from Phoenix/Pinkerton Road, or as you indicated, future remakes.  I can't really see how GK2 can be remade in a similar fashion unless there's a high quality source video available for it that annihilates the video quality of the original or everything is changed to a different engine entirely(which would be tough).  GK3 would probably be a reasonably easy remake by comparison.

[Bludshot]

Haha I don't think anyone wants another FMV Gabriel Knight, but unlike the original having a new cast and engine for GK2 would be a huge improvement.

And it would take more than a facelift to fix GK3.

[GrahamRocks!]

*shrug* I liked GK2 and 1. The first captured me almost immediately, while the second grew on me after a bit. The third? Eh, too slowly paced and really bad 3D. Nice music though!

[stika]

I always liked GK 2 better for the story. Though I love all 3 games (even if the third one had that mouse-stache puzzle )

Overall, I can't wait to play the remake!

[Bludshot]

GK2 is my favorite, if just for the story.  But that fmv stuff does take it's toll.

[stika]

I actually like the FMVs they're a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

Also, did you know one of the extras was a reviewer for a UK videogame TV show named bad influence?

[Intendant S]

I actually really liked the interactions between Dean and Peter.  They worked quite well off of each other.
