The background is the same, yes, the character closeups of hte director's cut look very impressive though

I don't see the point of releasing the game to PC again. It's already available for the PC, and the difference isn't big.

Besides, if it was released to the PC again, it would most likely not be compatible with ScummVM.

Have you actually played it? I heard that there is more new content (story-wise) than just new graphics. This might justify buying it again. Plus it's nice to see that point-and-click isn't solely 3D or pre-rendered 3D nowadays.

It won't be compatible with ScummVM since the graphics are high-color and ScummVM only supports 8-bit graphics in games.

You will be welcomed here.

As a matter of fact, I went holiday shopping yesterday to fulfill my ultimate console dream. I got the l33test console. It is my fifth. I got the latest revision of the Playstation 3, 80 Gb version, in a nice package too. Two Dualshock 3 joysticks with vibration, and two nice games.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Heavenly Sword.

Wow this is the most advanced piece of technology I have ever seen. You can even install an alternative operating system on it, use it on Folding Home, I mean I am left totally speechless.

I guess...........
