Hi guys, I made this video which displays all the main story cutscenes in the remastered Grim Fandango game as well as some extra gameplay moments to make it more cohesive. Enjoy :) (Played on the PS4)
waleed baoud Maybe, but that doesn't apply to this game. If you've played it you would see how even to this day it has smarter writing and greater character than the large majority of games. Obviously the graphics are dated and its not a perfect game, but I would class it as a masterpiece as its such an enjoyable game even though it is 17 years old.
waleed baoud Who hasn't played those games, they are also amazing. Besides this is all based on opinion, just because one person thinks a piece of work is a masterpiece, someone else saying otherwise doesn't mean the first guy is wrong...
waleed baoud The beautiful pre-rendered environment,unique story and soundtrack make this game a masterpiece.I don't say every game that has age is a masterpiece...
You start this game at Manny's table having an ashtray and 4 figurines of mariachi band players. You end this game at the gate to the ninth underworld and 4 mariachi band players surrounding a fountain pool resembling an ashtray.
I played this game earlier this year. Even though I'm not big on point and click adventure games, I can safely say that dear god this game was a flat out masterpiece. Sure, lots of the puzzles and other things were tricky, but for other things like story, characters, etc., it was fucking great and memorable.
Yes it was an amazing experience, I have always had a lot of appreciation towards games with smart humour/a good story and this has both 😊 A few of the puzzles were a bit ridiculous and had me clueless but its pretty amazing at how it still holds up today
I have always loved point & click adventures. If you want another good one, try "the longest journey" and the sequels, these games are still my favorite of all time. Too bad "the longest journey home" will never be made 😢😢
For those born in November the 2nd, not everyday is there a video game made which plot is not only set on your birthday, but it's *about* your birthday. Truly a once in a lifetime privilege.
I was watching a top ten list on TH-cam, "Top Ten Underrated Games" I think. When I saw this game was on it, at first I was floored, because HOW could you underrate this gem? Then, I felt okay about it, because hey, underrated is better than overrated. And then I heard them mention the remastered version for PC. I flipped. This game is STILL one of my favorites, top five!
WraythSkitzofrenik Hmm, i think usually when they say underrated they are usually talking about the popularity of the game, because from what I've seen, the vast majority of people have excellent things to say about this game. But it definitely is a gem and unfortunately not enough people know about/have played it :(
Having finally played it myself, I really don't think it was much of an actual game but the story was pretty cool I have to admit. Really enjoyed the unique comedic elements as well. No game quite like this one and those puzzles were sometimes more than just challenging. Some of the hardest puzzles in any game that I know of.
Yes the gameplay is definitely not up to par with today's standards but the story still holds up really well. I agree with you, some of the puzzles are a tad too difficult, but at least we have the internet for walkthroughs ;)
Shiit.. When I played this as a kid, I didn't understand much from the English language. Maybe I learned some from games and school and music and stuff, but it's so crazy to watch this video when I actually understand everything what they are talking about. For example 22:26 is mind blowing. That guy goes after his wife in a next life after the previous one. Well maybe I knew words like "wife" and "another man" XD but still.. this is crazy game. I recommend to get it from somewhere. P.S I didn't mean the main character and his girl but the side character who was cleaning the roof :D
Lol thats a cool way to think about it, for some reason i always felt as though the characters are in their real lives in the afterlife, and that there wasnt anything before death.
The best track from this game that I seem to never have been able to find is the music being played while Manny is in the train station in Year 4. When I used to play this game, I would just relax and leave the computer while that song played. Unfortunately, its not even on the soundtrack.
On one hand I'm glad this game has a cult following and alot of people can appreciate one of the best story games ever created. Although at the same time I feel like it deserves more credit. It had some of the newest gaming designs for its time and was done pretty well. It still looks great even without the updated graphics.
This is one of my favorite games. I had no idea that they still sell this and on console O_o ..ps4? This ps4 version has some cool shadows in the 3D models, like Manny and other skeletons
Some parts of the story and the puzzles are kind of bad, but the good parts of this game are absolutely phenomenal. I know it will never happen, but I'd love to see someone do a film adaptation of this story.
Domino wasn't looking to get to eternal rest, he was making a living in the eigth underworld with all the cash from LeMans' hustle. He could have used a ticket to get on the train at any moment, but at that point not even he knew that using counterfeits/stolen tickets would take you to hell. He was fine chilling where he was.
Thanks for this. I am playing this game on my android phone (no, unfortunately it is NOT in the google playstore anymore 😢) and for some reason none of the cutscenes work, so I am using your video to fill in the blanks. I have played this as a teenager, but a lot of it has just left my memorie, so thanks again for this 😀😀👍🏻
I liked this game but I would never buy it again because of the part where you have to open the safe with the sliding wooden thingies. It took me three weeks to figure out how to open it. I wish there were more games like this. Cartoon graphics and challenging but doable storylines.
My dear friend I have a request for you, I'd need the cutscene where he stars top mop and then, one year leter, he's built his own empire. Is there any place where I can download your video and cut that scene myself? Many (Manny) thanks
Valerio B hi, i dont have the original video file and i dont have it uploaded anywhere :/ your best bet is to use a youtube video downloader and download it from here. sorry
It's called Blue Hector. It's my favourite piece of music on the whole OST. So smooth and nostalgic! It's a pity the OST track doesn't have the orchestra though.
48:55..........................................................................................................................................ok but hear me out
This isn't a game.It's a masterpiece.
Mayibatsu Gaming Viper Yes it was!

***** Ah yes,we both have a special place in our hearts for Grim Fandango.

Yup
***** Yeah, story-wise it's amazing and brilliant, but gameplay wise it could get beyond confusing at times.
roboguy75 I have it on Switch and it’s controller based
I have always loved point & click adventures. If you want another good one, try "the longest journey" and the sequels, these games are still my favorite of all time. Too bad "the longest journey home" will never be made 😢😢
"She steals from the rich, and gives to me to pour" LOL
"Good enough for government work". One of my mottos since I first played the game.
You’re not alone brother. I literally used it in office on Friday.
This is a great film noir story.
Yeah this would’ve made a sweet series.

Wait a minute
Isn't it more appropriate if one were to die on that day?
Y'know, 'cause it's the day of the dead?
Well, i was born in halloween so I kinda know how that feels like
55:18 For some reason, this whole scene with Chepito gets me all emotional.
well, recently, the VA has passed away, so it's more emotional now
@@kripidir Happy trails, Captain...
you can always tell how far into this game you are by how compressed the cutscenes look
48:36 Is one of the greatest moments in video game history and one of the most serious threats.

I really liked this game because it gave off old cartoonish vibes that made me feel comfortable

...those were some good voices. I still say some lines every now and then, even after all these years.
Great job summing up all the cutscenes and main parts very nicely! It's like really watching the game as a movie!
+Joe Amadeo Thanks, happy you enjoyed it :D
ZENFUL thank you
30:04 her head juts to the right (her left) when she finishes her sentence.
Thanks, my Android version glitched some cutscenes out of the game and being able to watch this gives me context lmao
Same here

I wish there was another game like this, or to play it anew. I miss, it truly.
I was expecting tulips :)
My favorite atmospheric games: Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight, Monkey Island, The Longest Journey
Manny looking for the love of his life, still decides ti invest in a business
Twice
The best track from this game that I seem to never have been able to find is the music being played while Manny is in the train station in Year 4. When I used to play this game, I would just relax and leave the computer while that song played. Unfortunately, its not even on the soundtrack.
You can find it on YT under the title "Mayan Train Station". Beautiful track.
26:24 I love Glottis when he’s drunk
I frickin love Grim Fandango
i just finished it. loved it ALL.
Same

This has very strong pixar vibes
Amazing story and game. Played it back on CD-ROM on my old PC. Had to replay on PS4 for nostalgic reasons...
Oh my god I love this game so much!
I wish people would talk about it more tho
TwT
Eu joguei este jogo em 1999 e ainda acho esse um dos melhores jogos já produzidos. obrigado pela edição!
Some parts of the story and the puzzles are kind of bad, but the good parts of this game are absolutely phenomenal. I know it will never happen, but I'd love to see someone do a film adaptation of this story.
The game made me feel like a kid again
Wish they turned this amazing story into something like a stop motion film or stage play
32:37 Naranja's Tattoo on the side of his head changed... I didn't notice that on my playthrough.
12:46 Of course, it won't be you...
Oh, wait. 17:58
LoL
If Domino is favored so much, why doesn't he just use his influence to get to the place of eternal rest?
Domino wasn't looking to get to eternal rest, he was making a living in the eigth underworld with all the cash from LeMans' hustle. He could have used a ticket to get on the train at any moment, but at that point not even he knew that using counterfeits/stolen tickets would take you to hell.
He was fine chilling where he was.
"we made the land of the dead livable!"
@@Postcinct you saw him on the train?
I think he knew he would go to hell
@33bigmoney that wasn't Domino, that was the lawyer from year 2 (name fails me at this moment)

33:21 The Lady that did Carla's voice, sounds like Bulma. Am I the only one?
He is a real agent
great story! I feel like there were some scenes missing but still awesome
48:35 Best quote
Watching this bcoz for some reason the cutscenes are automatically skipped in my game
wow the story was great and the characters I never played this before but damn was it good.
Im still stuck in the fricking casino
I wonder how many crazy adventures like this happen in The Land of the Dead. Probably close to none. Manny Calavera is one lucky, bold son of a gun.
Thank you for this!

Masterpiece!
Can't wait for this to be on Xbox One!
6:43
ALGUN LALINO QUE PUEDA OPINAR¿?¿
yay!!!
Why did you put this weird contrast filter over everything?
Or is that how the game is on the playstation?
Gargaduk the remastered has this filter. Well from what I recall
I just played through the whole thing, it doesn't.
Gargaduk wverything looks 2D in this video for some reason
I love the remastered visuals but I honestly much prefer the gameplay of the original version. (not point'n'click, full control of manny)
You can still play it like that if you want.

Nice vid
What's the name of the song in 22:54?
+Knight3100 Don't know, but it fits in there magnificently, great sound work
for what it's worth, when this was first released in 1998 there was a soundtrack also released. Some tracks are (or were) available on TH-cam.
