Over the summer Double Fine revealed plans for an HD remake of Grim Fandango. Now GOG.com is accepting preorders for this remastered edition of the LucasArts adventure game. The news is accompanied by this preorder trailer saying the game will be released on January 27th. Here's word:

One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango's epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot's Game of the Year award upon it's original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.

Grim Fandango Remastered includes:

Repainted, hi-res character textures

New, dynamic lighting

Classic score re-recorded with a full live orchestra

Over 2 hours of exclusive developer commentary

The original GF was the first Lucasart adventure with "tank" controls and it took some time getting used to. I think I would prefer point and click myself.

Would the player have to move within range of an object prior to interacting with it? If so, that sounds far worse than anything Telltale could conceive.

It's listed on GOG as a "point-and-click", so I'm hoping they develop a control scheme similar to early point-and-click adventures.
