One of the best games of my childhood and one of the finest point & click games ever! Worth every single penny.
"Released by LucasArts in 1995, Full Throttle is a classic graphic adventure game from industry legend Tim Schafer, telling the story of Ben Throttle; butt-kicking leader of biker gang the Polecats, who gets caught up in a tale of Motorcycles, Mayhem and Murder.
Now over 20 years later, Full Throttle is back in a remastered edition featuring all new hand-drawn and 3D high-resolution artwork, with remastered audio and music."

Oh this is gonna be good. Also one of my childhood favs. Hope it doesn't lose its visual charm like the remastered Monkey Islands.
Don't agree, i'm hoping for a classic graphics option. Everything is too soft in the new artwork imo. https://youtu.be/_y24bQnlOwI

Tempted, but will likely give this a miss. I find often replaying games from my youth sounds great but in practice often isn't. Rose tinted glasses and all that.
Regardless I hope they do a better job than they did with the Grim Fandango remaster.

I liked the Grim Fandango Remaster. What were your issues with it? I thought it was done well. I'm very much looking forward to this one of my all time favourite games. I replayed it recently and it's held up well, though running it was a pain.
In the Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle they offered the ability to swap between the Remastered and Original Graphics. So I don't see why they wouldn't do the same here. Mind I've still got the original copy of the Full Throttle game.

My favourite point and click by far. I remember going over to my mates house as he was the first one in school to get a CD drive for his PC! Sadly, the game is really short, but it's still freaking awesome.

I've missed out on this game.
I assumed it was a racing game from the title and dismissed it...Didn't realize it was a point and click Lucas Arts game!
Just played through the Day of the Tentacle remaster, think I'll get this one too.

Heat added, Personally preferred the monkey island remasters as they had the biggest remaster. The other were of course all great but dott already looked great. I really want a remaster of loom, think they could do a lot with that. Also the indiana jones games could really do with a remaster
