Tim Schafer mentioned in an interview that this remake is more of a preservation of the classic motorcycle game. Schafer also detailed the painstaking lengths the team went to recreate all of the game's graphics in HD quality, and the gold mine it found in the original reel-to-reel voiceover tapes.

It is time to rev up the nostalgia engine. "Full Throttle Remastered" adds new hand-drawn and 3D art to the classic point-and-click adventure game "Full Throttle" that first came out for PC back in 1995.

Full Throttle takes place in the near future where anti-gravity vehicles have replaced normal cars and bikes. It stars Ben, the leader of a motorcycle gang that has to clear his name of a murder charge.

The title came out in a time when Lucas Arts was creating classic after classic in the adventure game field, many of which Tim Schafer worked on. Schafer would later start his own company, Double Fine, in 2000. Double Fine has created remastered versions of some of Schafer's other classics from his time at LucasArts, specifically Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle.

Just like with those remasters, players can switch between Full Throttle's original look and the updated visuals whenever they want with remastered audio tracks. The release also features a developer commentary.

According to Kotaku, "Full Throttle Remastered" will cost $9.19. What can you say about "Full Throttle's" HD makeover? Share your thoughts below.
