Grim Fandango is one of the best games ever with its dialogues, characters and places. Top point of black humor. As 90 percent of today's games continue to be a soulless products that doesn't make any sense other than high graphics, the value of grim fandango is increasing at a faster rate every year it gets older. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Muchas gracias a la gente mejicana por inspirar con vuestra cultura tantas formas diversas de arte, desde libros y películas, hasta videojuegos. La cultura crea cultura, y eso es algo a celebrar.
The fact that double fine cares about their fans so much that they put their heart and soul into every product and share these sorts of videos is why they are my favourite devs of all time (however they are tied with halo 2 era bungie lol)
OMG Grim Fandango was one of the first game I played on PC and is one of my favorites of all time. Thank you so much because this game opened so many doors about culture, music and meaning in my life.
Still one of my favorite adventure games ever. I'll always remember that whole night club chapter of the story. It was such a clear loving homage to Casablanca, while simultaneously having so much fun with the characters and unique art design that I still always admired it as its own thing. It's cool to keep learning more about the inspirations and thought processes behind the project after all these years.
One of the finest examples of "video games as art" - every little part (plot, music, graphics, voice acting etc.) is at the same time completely distinct and yet a part of a cohesive whole. Absolute masterpiece.
Just finished playing for the first time what a great game the dialogue story and mood are all amazing! Had a blast, some puzzles really hard and had to use a walkthrough but still made for a wonderful experience
Thank you so much Tim, the old LucasArts team, and the current Double Fine team for all of your contributions to this game, past and present. It really means a lot to a lot of people, myself included!
I hope all the people behind this wonderful game still have bloomed careers as a result and have found continued succcess under their fantastic abilities. This artwork is unforgettable.
If you like the latin Pulp vibe of Grim Fandango you really should treat yourself with the Novels of Paco Ignacio Taibo II. Especially his Hector Belascoarán Shayne novels
Grim Fandango truly is one of the best games I ever played. I never played a game witch art style and music touched me so much, I would get back to it as often as I do. This video just makes me want to replay the game for the n-th time, thank you!
This is great! Thank you Tim! We met twice at PSX once in 2016 and the next in 2017! You signed my copy of Psychonauts and Brutal Legend, I was hoping to get Grim Fandango signed this year but unfortunately PSX won’t happen this year. You and Double Fine are a huge inspiration to me and I hope that we can meet for a third time some day. They say don’t meet your heroes but I say go for it, you were very nice to me and made me want to pursue my dreams. Thanks again Tim!
Really cool! Just started playing for the first time. City of lost children is one of my favourite movies so I can't wait to see which parts were inspired by it. I actually watched the film partly because i knew that it inspired the classic fallout games which are some of my favourites
I’m legitimately shocked Disney didn’t arrange some kind of cross-promotion with this and “Coco,” either for its theatrical run or debut on home video.
I remember seeing the 'coming soon' ads in the PC Gamer mag. I thought, well that looks weird. Turns out to be my favorite adventure game of all time. I have the original soundtrack cd that came with it also. Every time I play this game, I click all the dialogue. It's just too good not to! Now I would toss out all of my coffee mugs for one like yours!
Tim's beard is gone, I'm officially scared. ^O^ But really love the shout-out s that continue to pour in through these old games. While I was only ever fortunate enough to get my hand on the PS2 version of Psychonauts, its a really blast to learn about these older games as I slowly discover them for a first time. Can't wait to see what comes next from you guys in the near future. ^=^ Also, amazing mentions of what made this game, the music especially! And now I really want to check out that Sweet Smell Of Success movie. Great video here, Tim!
So many interesting influences and ingredients to such an awesome adventure game... Low-key waiting for Psychonauts in a semi-patient, semi-passive aggressive mindset ;p
Love? Love is for the living... and for Grim Fandago. I've been playing games all my life but there's two that I love with all my heart: Planescape Torment and Grim Fandango.
The two are also my favourite games... both addresses the topic of death (or the lack of it) in such a different and complex manner, that they compensate for each other. And now I want to start from the Mortuary again...
Honestly before i played Grim fandango when it first released on Ps4. I never thought that it would end up being even better than the Monkey Island games and i'm a huge fan of Monkey Island.
Rarely does a game's mood and atmosphere capture my imagination like Grim Fandango did. :P Granted, I only got to play it this year since it was popping up on Steam and I figured: "oh yea it's that scary skeleton game i remember seeing as a child in a gaming program (i think it was a review of it)", but I think Manny and friends are gonna haunt me for the rest of my life. In a good way :D And who knows, maybe I'll bump into Glottis one day in afterlife.
I've just finished this on the PS4 and really loved the plot and the characters and the overall design. It falls short of a classic for me in my opinion because of the terrible bugs throughout the game. On so many occasions I had to go back to previous save files in order to progress due to bugs not allowing me to progress the story. This then became frustrating and don't get me started on that play the game with the tank controls trophy..... I know it's optional to do that but I always try my best to platinum/100% a game to feel like I've done everything.
