I know this is triggered from a piece of news from E3, but given the genre is firmly routed on the PC, this seemed the right place to put it.
For those of you that aren't aware, it was confirmed at E3 that Grim Fandango is being remastered and released on the PS4 (and Vita). I know there is hinting that it will also be on the PC, but we'll see if that happens.
Anyways, that's the background for my thread, not the topic.
In terms of the motive behind this, I'm wondering if this is maybe a sign that with all the graphical advancement in latest hardware, but arguably (in the majority of cases) little content revolution to grab interest, that publishers are maybe looking back at games where story is paramount.
I suspect most people could count on less than two hands the number of new titles they've played in the last 5 (10?) years that really grabbed them from a story perspective (ok, maybe an exaggeration, but you get my point).
So, I reckon that lays out the question broadly enough, what do you guys think? Any significance to the revival of something reknowned for its story rather than its gameplay or graphics?
