- Vi har lenge hatt lyst til å jobbe med Grim Fandango

Gamereactors spanske redaktør, David Caballero, var i går på Gamelab-konferansen, og der var også store navn som blant andre Tim Schafer. David fikk dermed intervjue Double Fine-sjefen (GRTV-versjonen kommer så fort den er redigert), og samtalen sporet selvfølgelig inn på remaken av Grim Fandango.

- It's just so exciting that's happening. We wanted it to happen for a long time. Some people just couldn't even play the game if they wanted to; they couldn't find it anywhere, they had to pirate it.

Samtidig var han rask med å rose folkene og firmaen som har hjulpet til med å få avtalen på plass:

- It's really due to the help of people at Sony and Disney and LucasArts, who really wanted to see it happen. (...) coming of age is a generation of people who played it when they were younger, and they liked the game, they wanted to make it happen; now they're at positions of power at those companies, and now they can actually make those decisions.

Det er tydeligvis ikke så enkelt å bare lage en versjon av spillet som fungerer på dagens maskinvare:

- We're still kind of on research mode now, we're trying to find - it's just doing all the archeology we need to do, like dig up and find all the source material we can before we know entirely what's possible, so hopefully we'll be able to figure out that soon and make some announcements more detailed later, for we don't have any specifics to announce right now... But it'll look better. I'll say that. It's going to look better.

Vi spurte om vi kunne forvente noen relanseringer av andre klassiske eventyrspill, og til dette kunne han svare følgende:

- I can't say anything, I don't know! But I think, definitely, if Grim does really well, it'll do well for all those games.
