It was mentioned by a moderator on the original Full Throttle Remastered announcement thread that Mac users who pre-ordered could get a refund. I'm considering it, since I've now bought the PS4 version and have no way to play PC games now LiquidSky have (temporarily?) discontinued their Mac client.

The preorder page clearly stated that Mac and Linux versions would be available "at a later date". Since that was a preorder with the word PREORDER in the product title, as in, for people who are okay with waiting, it was logical and ethical to keep the game tagged as Win / Mac / Linux so users who sort the catalogue by system could see it.

Now that the game is released, the page advertizes a finished product and the people interested in it expect to play it right after purchase, it's not okay to tease Mac / Linux only to cockblock with "haha Soon [tm], keep waiting".

I play on Linux and of course I'm disappointed that I don't yet get the superior version I was hyped about, but I think GOG did right by me.
(Double Fine did right by me, too. If I'm going to get Linux in May anyway, it better be debugged with the help of Windows users.)

Well so far the remastered version is great, I hope the Linux version hits you as soon as possible!

As someone who has spent years on game forums and news sites, reading endless posts proclaiming the desire for having the great point-and-click games come to modern systems (Grim Fandango, Maniac Mansion 2, Last Guest, and now this), what other major titles remain? Are there any more remakes that we could expect from the people at Double Fine?

Personally, I'm still pining for Discworld Noir and Mysts 3 and 4, but what does the community want?

When i'm on the road i'm indestructible.

No one can stop me.

But they try...

YEAH!!

I know what i'm playing this afternoon ;)

It runs fine with wine, have not encounter any problem yet.

Thanks for the explanation. I don't recall the pre-order page stating that, but I may just not have read the whole page. I didn't really see any reason to read the game description considering I already knew all about the game, but I suppose I'll have to be more careful in future, if critical information about compatibility is included there.

I am a bit concerned that any reference to the Mac or Linux versions has now been completely removed, even the "at a later date". Did you just pick May as an example, or have you heard that May is when the Linux version is actually due?

Unfortunately it does not, you can switch between the new and old artwork, but it sadly does not contain the DOS version (as I was kinda hoping it did) but if that is a deal breaker for you, I would not purchase it.

I would only buy the original version, I could maybe get a remake for 1,50 € max.
What I'm talking aboit? I'm gonna get this in an bundle without even wanting it for 1 € in a few months and probably never install it. I just don't get what sence there is in these remakes.
I'd rather get The Cave and waiting for Psychonauts 2, I expect it to be coming here as I have enjoyed the first lots back then.

You can switch between remastered and original version any time.
I *guess* original files could be extracted.

Thanks for reply.Its not a deal breaker,but i would be kinda nice to have both versions on separate installers

CENSORED BY GOG

did they re-record the music and update the SFX, or did they just remaster the graphics?

if they re-recorded music and SFX, when switching to the original, do you get those originals as well, or just the graphics?

Agreed, would be nice.

The art has been redone, the music and all sfx are re-recorded from the originals, all voice work is still the original voice work that was derived from these originals. (as far I as I have read/seen in information about the remaster)
