Are you excited about this?!
Thanks for the info, this actually interests me. One of the few games I had back on one of my first computers! <3

maybe someone who thought the original was sheer genius and they'll muck it up with the re-master as usual...

It doesn't cause no one can foresee the future. Also, hating on remasters is getting old.

Old is good. Old is wise. Old is having seen a bit of history first hand and learned from it. ;-)
Having said that, I'd get very excited IF they manage to buck the trend and make a worthy update to a great game!

Aye but there are many good remasters. I see no harm in playing both old and new versions and enjoying both if both are well made :)

If it's like Grim Fandango Remastered you'll be able to switch between the new graphics and the original.

I can get the original graphics by running the original game at no additional cost to me - weird, huh!

Most of the Lucas Arts adventure games haven't been available for purchase in over a decade. More people getting to play these games is good.

I'm guessing that there's no GOG (or Steam) release of Full Throttle due to silly music licensing issues, which means the re-master will have to have new music (and the original music was a large part of what made the game). And they probably have to re-voice without the great SAG cast, etc.

Probably those who are not interested in adventure games.

You might want to re-formulate that theory. Just sayin'!

And people who don't like remasters. Which is something I'll never understand :D

I'm fine with decent re-masters (they do happen now and then!), but I don't have high hopes for this one especially (due to the usual music licensing and potential re-voicing issues which would affect this game particularly badly).
Grim Fandango looks (at first glance, I haven't actually played it, nor the original yet) like a decent re-make - retaining the style of the original but actually making use of updated tech - but it doesn't have those issues to work around to the same extent.
I'd very gladly be proven wrong, though! I'm not just retro for the sake of it (not like those "modern" retro games where you can still see the pixels on purpose). The screenshot eeev posted below shows that at least the graphics for this one look good (true to the original wonderful style [EDIT: oops, Sandoukos says that's not from the remake]).

Good news! I never had a chance to play it in the 90's =(

Classic adventure, I am going to play it again after so many years, excited as almost for the day of the tentacle remastered release :)

They are working on DotT remake, now this, and they are already gethering money for Psychonauts 2. Won't this be a little too much for one producer/designer and his studio?

Are they? Is there a Kickstarter for Psychonauts 2 or anything?

Yes, we had two threads this week about it: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/psychonauts-2

It was one of my favourites (and I replayed it last year), but no thanks. I'm sick of remasters. :/

Oh shit... Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle remastered in 2016? I'm excited...

Weeeeeeeeeell, I guess after their (as I heard) bad DF 9, their so so Massive Chalice and the financial fiasco of the "announced as classical point'n'click title but came out as a kid's game" Broken Age they desperately need something that sells.
Not too excited. The game (Full Throttle) is good as it is. For Grim Fandago making a Remastered version was okay, because the controls really sucked, but apart from that not much changed. What exactly do they want to improve without ruining the spirit in Full Throttle?
Edit: Apparently they are redoing the graphics, found a screenshot:

this screenshot has nothing to do with the remake.
