Unofficial Tex Murphy

Hey guys,

I came across this cool preview, didn't see a mention of it here. Soooo here we go:

Oh yeah, be careful, it shows footage of the new game. There may be some minor spoilers in the video. So those who want a completely fresh "Texperience," you may want to steer clear.

I absolutely love it. Seeing this relieved me of any lingering doubts that this would be anything less that a true Tex Murphy experience.

The humor, the slapstick deaths (death in a 2014 adventure game!), inventory combination puzzles, and the ability to examine everything and hear Tex's lines... It's all there.

The graphics are a bit underwhelming, almost like a phone game (maybe because they're keeping tablet ports in mind), but I'm not too worried about that. The Tex magic is there and that's what matters.

Yeah, I saw it. It looks pretty awesome. Is it out yet?

Ugh... are those sparklies around important items? Someone tell me I can turn those off!

The video said it was for casual players, ie "entertainment" mode. Whether try can be toggled on or off on that mode, I'm not sure, but it would be nice. They probably will be, seeing as hints could be turned off in all of the previous games.

I have it on good authority you can turn it off

Do they come with 3D effects? "Yeow that's hot!"

They said that they're always on in Casual mode, but in Gamer mode, it's some kind of limited-use ability, like a hint that you can choose to use when needed.

If that's the case, then I do hope they change it so it can be toggled on Entertainment mode. I like playing the game mode at least once to see the differences, at least if it's like Pandora's Entertainment mode and not Overseer's.

I wonder if this is in place of the hint system...

Two modes: casual and gamer. Gamer will not have "sparkles", casual mode (entertainment mode) will have them, but only in instances where the player elects to see them.
