GOG.com announces they are accepting pre-orders for Full Throttle Remastered, offering an April 18th release date for the hog-riding remake. Here's what's going on:

Full Throttle Remastered, the bombastic return of the heavy-metal point & click legend, is now available for pre-order exclusively on GOG.com, with a 20% pre-order discount!

When the Polecats hit the road, they're indestructible. No one can stop them. But they try.

Now the gang has gotten into some serious trouble, and it's up to their stoic leader Ben to outrun explosions, rough up some tough guys, and lay waste to a bunch of mechanical bunnies.

To celebrate the game's return, creator Tim Schafer will be joining us for a special Twitch stream on Friday, March 17, 7PM UTC. Get your desktops dressed for the occasion, with the mighty fine wallpapers available soon as a pre-order bonus.

Additionally, there's a rad Double Fine Sale going on, with games like Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Brütal Legend, Broken Age, Psychonauts, and more going for up to 90% off.

Star Trek TOS remastered discs does give you the option for the special effects (original or remastered.) Changing the pixelation with a press of a key sounds like a good idea. Though you can always watch YouTube videos of the original pixelated version, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c36OmC5UbME

Like the Monkey Island games, except instead of a different artstyle you press a key and there are jaggies everywhere? That just seems weird to me.

This appears to be the first download purchase version of the game, remastered or not. The lack of pixelation might reduce the nostalgia a tad though, I wonder if they'd have both versions accessible. (BTW I can't stand the term 'digital download', like where are the 'analog downloads'?) Did they also re-sample the audio at a higher bitrate?

Why, do you think, does Double Fine all these remakes? Because they do not cost much to produce AND they bring in quite a nice sum, which helps DF in making Psychonauts 2. Which is scheduled for release next year, if all goes according to plan.

I think it's awesome that a company like Double Fine is updating old classics for a new generation to enjoy. I don't know many 6 year olds that enjoy 640x480 pixelated graphics that some of us grew up with.

Using a steering wheel on a Burnout game is like using the Space Shuttle controls to fly a kite.
