For anyone wondering, the "stunning HD mode" is just a terribly implemented scaler that makes the games look like molten wax.

I'm a fan of the Simon games and it's good to hear about the updated controls etc., but the new 'HD' graphics mode is absolutely dreadful. Makes it look like the screen is melting.

Oh man.
Oh god, oh man.
Oh god, oh man!
Oh god, oh man!!
Oh god, oh man, OH GOD!!!

I love point & clicks and I never played Simon the Sorcerer, so this looks like a perfect opportunity to finally do so. Looking forward to it (though when I actually pick it up will greatly depend on the price).

They can't ask too much, cause no one will buy it, maybe it will be something between 14.99 and max. 19.99 ( which would be way too much)

Day of the Tentacle Remastered: 14.99
Full Throttle Remastered: 14.99

They cant ask more then 14.99..... if they do they become the laughing stock .

Was it as good for you as it was for me?

I's say even 14.99 is still too much. As all it looks like they have done is slapped a filter on it, and it looks to be the same versions that were released on the Apple/Google Stores a while back.

I'd much rather we got Simon 4 back and had 5 & 6 added here tbh.

Neat!

Ya i understand it this way as well - so this is a big win i guess. Also the new controls might be worth a try/give a different game experience than in former playthroughs. Same for newly recorded stereo audio which might be good too - nostalgia may force somebody to go back to the original audio ^^. Not to keen on the new graphics though.

Regarding the free update / removal of the classic games discussion (not related to your post but to others) - i don't see any harm - for people who already got the classic games and like them they are allowed to keep them and new need for them to buy the anniversary.
For people who have not gotten the classic games yet but would prefer them over a (maybe) expensive anniversary edition they still have a few weeks left to buy the classic games.
And for people like me who somehow for no reason have not bought the classic editions yet but definitely want to own the games someday but also don't mind a maybe bit changed experience buying the anniversary edition including both original and new edition is a win.

Given that they're adding nothing of value to this release, 14.99 would be 10 too much.

These games, expecially StS 2, had worse problems than outdated graphics. The good pixel art was actually their main selling point. Moon logic, poor story and cringey humour won't go away with a blur filter and making it 3 times more expensive.

Man, you really bring back great memories! Also, GOG, don't forget about... Shivers 1 & 2 :) (yeah, I know, I have asked about those too many times already!)

About the remakes\remasters trend..

the good:
- they could be an interesting reason to replay old games.
- the originals are often still available as a bonus on Gog.
- sometimes there are options to switch old&new graphic on the fly.

the bad:
- every X years, games could be removed and resold even by the same publisher, leaving a bunch of outdated editions in our libraries.
- it's difficult to do a proper remake\remaster. Many alter too much or too little to be worthy.
Also, modernized gameplay & graphics could ruin the uniqueness and the charm of the old titles.

You must remember that Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Monkey Island remasters are all actual remasters, with brand new hand drawn graphics! They are amazingly and lovingly crafted, especially the Full Throttle remaster, and they're all well worth their price tags.

This is just a money grab with the most minimal amount of work possible done to it. This is the cancer in the industry. A HUGE thumbs down to GOG for going along with it.
