We've already heard how King's Quest is going to sound and a bit of how it is going to look but do we really know? Do we really know all of the blood, sweat, tears, paint, and love that The Odd Gentlemen are putting into the game? Of course we can all assume at this point or King's Quest wouldn't have been allowed to be made but what tells us better is a nice, handy, behind-the-scenes video. Such a video that we have just a bit lower so we can see how King's Quest is being made to look like things are hand painted from the ground up.
Yes, that seems to be the art style that we are getting here for the new King's Quest and it looks like a perfect match to keep the nostalgia alive. The whole of the game's story has already been stated to be one of nostalgia so why not the whole game as well? At least we aren't going true old-school with the visuals and back to the 8-bit days. Could you imagine? I shudder to think about a new-age King's Quest being in the retro feel just to force purchases to recapture one's youth. Shameful.
This is again why I have faith that The Odd Gentlemen and Sierra will be able to breathe a new form of life into this King's Quest. I do wish it wasn't an episodic thing but we can't always get what we want…unless we own the game studio or publisher. Then we can get what we want. None the less have a look at the new video mixed into my ramblings above and see how the new King's Quest adventure is going to look and how it is all being accomplished over there.
