Full Throttle Remastered feels like a supernova. It's bombastic, head-turning, and holds your attention during the brief time it flashes. The classic adventure game holds up today, but, unlike other Double Fine games, it doesn't benefit from a remaster. The original was already as good as it needed to be. It's an entertaining tale of road-rash and intrigue that's fun while it lasts.

Kicking off in 1986, Lucasarts presided over an era (running until around the year 2000) in which they were the adventure game Kings, releasing a string of titles that remain all-time classics even decades later.

We're back with our third and final Kotaku Splitscreen special episode from the Game Developers Conference in sunny San Francisco.

Here's our first look at Full Throttle: Remastered.

So, rather than dribble these out in single-sentence story form, we've compiled all the shorter PlayStation Experience news from overnight into one post for easy consumption. Please, enjoy!

In California there's always a Full Throttle sunset waiting for me in the middle of the road. There are never Lucasarts toy bunnies waiting to disrupt my ride, no credits roll over the windscreen. But there's that thick, clotted layer of Californian tarmac.

Here's a fun little extra from my interview with Double Fine's Tim Schafer that I couldn't leave on the cutting room floor. It's about one old-school gamer's arguably-legitimate complaint about one of Schafer's classic creations.

The golden age of adventure games may be long behind us (though Telltale is doing a good job of carrying the banner), but stories behind SCUMM, the technology that drove classics including Maniac Mansion, Full Throttle and Sam & Max: Hit the Road continue to pop up every so often. The latest yarn comes from Aric Wilmunder, who helped developed the engine with Ron Gilbert.

This is a 1993 promo for Lucasarts' Full Throttle, starring The Gone Jackals, the band who feature in the game's fantastic soundtrack.

Bars, clubs and noisy taverns are always crucial locations in a story-driven game. They are save points, places where we can sell useless stuff from our inventory, gather information, meet a key character or just simply get into trouble.

Has it been a while since you last played Full Throttle? I'm guessing it has. Sit back, relax and watch the intro movie from the game.

My favourite video game soundtrack is not a collection of original orchestral pieces, nor tracks by famous artists. It is one performed by a band that, were it not for this game, few of you will have ever heard of.

You ever wonder why there aren't more genuinely funny video games? One of the few genuinely funny men in the business, Double-Fine's Tim Schafer (Psychonauts, Full Throttle) has an idea.

It was just 15 years ago that designer Tim Schafer had to tell a reporter how one of his games differed from the other, and to do so he invoked the use of bread and mayonnaise.

Roll up your sleeves, Lucasarts fans. Classic Adventure Gaming have one hell of an interview up with Bill Tiller, a former artist at Lucasarts who worked with the company between 1993 and 2001. Specifically, it's about Tiller's involvement on the little-known Full Throttle: Payback, the cancelled sequel to Tim Schafer's badarse 1995 adventure game. Basically, if you've ever wanted to hear somebody personally relate the period when Lucasarts decided to eat their own adventure gaming babies, you'll want to read this. It's got plot outlines for the game, the reason it would have been better than the other Full Throttle sequel, Hell on Wheels, as well as a ton of concept art. All of it good reading.

The rise and fall of Full Throttle: a conversation with Bill Tiller

If you're not interested in getting homebrew up and running on your Wii, fine. That's your business. You're probably not interested in knowing that ScummVM is now working for the system, either, nor in seeing a man play Full Throttle on his couch using a Wii Remote. Because that's not awesome at all, is it?
