I took contact with this game in 1996, when my father worked for the editing house of the university I work in as a Professor. My English was very poor then, and there were no Spanish subtitles, so I didn't understand anything except for the part of kicking Rotten Wheelers' a**es and breaking into a house to steal some wielding torch. Some years after, my father bought the game and gave it to me as a Christmas' present, this time with Spanish subtitles (the English voices were fortunately unchanged). Full Throttle makes me remember of my father, who passed away two years ago, and I'm still crying his death. Among many things, Full Throttle strenghtened the link between me and my father. So if I were in front of Tim Schafer, I would probably give him a big hug while crying. Thank you Tim and all the team of Full Throttle, for giving me memories that will be forever in my heart. Thank you, from Argentina.
To Tim: I don't know if you'll ever read this. But you mentioned wondering what happened to those gamers that played Full Throttle? You're one of the influential reasons that I ended up becoming a game dev. Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, The Dig, these games helped to define my childhood. Psychonauts and Full Throttle still remain in my top 5 games. I'm thankful to you, and the rest of the creative teams on these projects for showing me what games could do. I now work over at Telltale, I help raise funds for our nearby Children's Hospital here in SF through video games...you and other devs helped shape all of this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all those crazy nights you and your team put in. I now know what you guys can go through. I respect you guys so much for all the work you've done and continue to do. Thank you. ~Ryann
I know a lot of people think this is just cashing on o nostalgia, but honestly I love being able to play some of my favorite games with better graphics on my console. day of the tentacle was beautifully done. I loved the polished graphics. I loved the commentary and that you could switch to the retro graphics. I loved being able to play it on my HD tv instead of via scumm. and I'm excited for revisiting full throttle.
I don't mind at all either. It's not like there's no new content like with a lot of other old games reappearing on steam (or console, I guess), and the remakes look both good and faithful to the original (which is also included). And they run properly, which is not always the case with other oldies.That's all the fans want.
These remasters are particularly great because before this, Full Throttle was in a bit of legal doubt. I'd play it regardless, if I could only buy it, but DF's efforts have gotten Grim Fandango and other atypical Disney-owned IPs out into digital stores again.
I first played full Throttle when I was a kid, and I got my first motorbike a couple of years ago, now planning a month long motorbike tour around Europe next summer. True story :-)
At Volition in Illinois, there is a boxed copy of Full Throttle, signed by Tim Schafer, with the note "Late, due to Descent!" written on it in Sharpie.
Can't get enough of this game... I would watch a 1 hour long documentary of the making-of from this game and would still be left wanting for more... I have a sealed boxed copy as one of my most treasured possessions. The art of this game is amazing and has aged really well, the atmosphere is amazing, the music instantly sends me back to my childhood. I wish they would come out with a boxed version of the remaster. One thing that bothers me a bit is that the art looks too clean now... I feel like the pixelation helped a lot with the atmosphere and made it look a little bit more gritty, though I will have to play the final version to judge it. I'm super glad a new generation will be able to enjoy it and that these masterpieces are getting the treatment they deserve for preservation purposes. Thanks to Tim and DoubleFine for this. Now if I could only get Tim to sign my original full throttle box hehe.
I definitely can't wait for this one. It's on PS4 first, but I assume we'll eventually see it on Steam. Double Fine absolutely know how to do a remaster properly: update the graphics, keep the game the same, but also give the option to see the game with its original graphics. By the way, if anyone's interested in the music, it was all done by a band called Gone Jackals. Some of the music on their albums will sound really familiar. Let it Rip was the song that played at the end of this video, for example. Seriously great stuff that I recommend.
I've never heard of Full Throttle but seen videos of it on RUclips around 2009. Then I tried out the game through Game Pass on PC. It's like Mad Max with Bikes, I love it.
I remember working at a computer chip place and I lent my copy of Dark Forces to my workmate (he spoke little english only Cantonese) anyways after two days his wife (who also happened to work there) handed it back to me complaining he was playing it so much that he wasn't getting any sleep . Undaunted, I gave them Full Throttle next, and they both enjoyed it. The game truly was universal in its appeal. Fond memories.
his a legend, my favorite game from my childhood (along with dune 2)! where can I fond the soundtrack bits they played during the video, so atmospheric!
Tim Schafers games are so much fun to play, but they are not perfect. I still love all of them and cant wait to play more of them! Keep up doing what you do DoubleFine cause you are just so damn fine!!
This is one of my favorite games of all time and this looks very promising. I like how the old 3D models are getting replaced with art that actually matches the art the style. I also hope this comes with an option to view the concept art for the cut content, the original voice acting recordings intact, and the original soundtrack in it's uncompressed form as heard in this video.
I picked this up when it came out, worried if my pentium 75 processor could hack it. I loved this game, i played it, up to a point, it became a movie, so smoothlyi wen't through the sections. At one point i wanted the story on tape, so decided that i would record a play session, seeing i knew what to do when and where, it became an audio adventure that i could listen too, when ever i wanted, when i was AWFK.. Great story, great characters, fantastic voice cast.. ten outta ten! glad it got remastered, so i could replay the game again on current tech. and even happier, that the voiced weren't changed up, because a reason this game was so great was because the fantastic voice acting! RRRripburger, you're dumber than dirt!.
Only 2 downvotes, over 1K likes. Speaks volumes. Someone can take those two thumbs down turn em around and right up their keister. Love this behind the scenes look at a classic game that helped define my childhood and who I am today. One hell of a role model, I just never liked that Luke Skywalker was the bad guy ;)

Not necessary on console, iPad is enough)

so good... Id totally buy a book with all the concept art and script and stuff!

I remember Tim once joking that he considered sending retailers explosion stickers to apply to the Psychonauts box art to boost sales.

How nice must it be to look back on your life, and see that everything you've done has been loved by many.
U god damn right I'm a biker now!!!! ❣️ My first game that I ever played.
8:30 Clint Bajakian, I remember reading his name in the opening credits for The Dig too. Very coll to see them together.
I have been waiting for the day this game would get a good remaster! I played this game over and over as a child. I can not wait!
Good evening I'm Stewart Cheifet and welcome to the Computer Chronicles

YESSS!! I love this LUCASARTS nestolgia!!!!
Double Fine: I *love* this video. Thanks for being awesome. Plz always make stuff like this.

Nick Piers It will come on the release day to GOG, Steam, PS4 and PS Vita just like Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle came.
i would buy a corley motors t-shirt in a heartbeat! get on that guys!
I've never heard of Full Throttle but seen videos of it on RUclips around 2009. Then I tried out the game through Game Pass on PC. It's like Mad Max with Bikes, I love it.
Thank you for this! Great insight. Love this game!
I got this game for free with a Mac, and it is probably the most played game on the mac i ever had.

this is the first PC game i ever owned. the nostalgia is through the roof with this one.

I can't wait to play Full Throttle in HD! This is my favorite game ever. I have a tattoo on my right arm that pays homage to this amazing video game.
This is one of my favorite games of all time and this looks very promising. I like how the old 3D models are getting replaced with art that actually matches the art the style.

5:58 "I've always had that theory..." I cracked up so much on his delivery with that.
My favorite game of all time!
Thank You Tim! :]
I loved this game and its music (made me buy the Gone Jackels album), that said, it was too short Tim :)
Back when original games were made..
Ha! That's awesome!
Two documentaries for the price of one!
I would buy that Full Throttle Jacket!
Ill tell you what type of gamers we are. We are the type of gamers who miss games from Lucasarts. Love from Denmark.
epic "that game its too short" xD we need 2nd part please
I love that he has a Green Tentacle behind him
This, the dig, rex nebular, freddy pharkus, boogerman. Loved the era.
The guy from the Computer Chronicles! :O
Does anyone know where i can watch the documentary featured at the start of this video? the one that seems to be from the 90s? cheers
I picked this up when it came out, worried if my pentium 75 processor could hack it.

RRRripburger, you're dumber than dirt!.
This video took more than 12 years to make! (Considering how old the archive footage at the beginning is.)
He jokes but I did grow up to become a biker because of this game. And a fencer because of MI. Nothing like those games before or since!
6:55 is happines or sadness, but this moment make me feel sad. Full throttle can't die on a remaster. #fullthrottle2 PLS
All production documents should be written in Chicago.
After monkey island , this is the best game lucaaus arts released ❤
10:00 "Souveniers here!"

Stoked

Are the Gone Jackals still playing rock & roll?
Don't think so. Their last album came out in 1999. =(
Please port it to iPad!
This documentary was too short. *poom* *poom* *poom* *boom*
I'd snap up a blu-ray of the Documentary, Get some Merch going too! :D
NO DISLIKES!
This game defines true beauty. I *am* putting my lips on that.
Continue this comment.
I'm looking for something small, furry, and yellow. Now I got a quote for ya.
6:56 dude looks just like Ben lol
Ok. And no sequel yet.
Hmm haven't played this game. To be honest what little gameplay I saw put me off but maybe, always did like Schafer.
