The game is great, the voices are great, the story ius great, the art is great, the dialoug is great, the trailer is great...this game is the GREATEST EVER!
One of the best games I've ever played though I've just finished playing the directors cut and sadly it was pretty disappointing. It seems like they edited and cut away all the violence to the point where there's no blood and you can't actually get killed now.
@CynicalVision Yeah I'm playing the DC at the moment, and it does feel as if some of the charm has been taken away. I'm sure even some of the dialogue has changed slightly.
Yeah! Sometimes it's fine but sometimes it didn't make any sense. Like just after the cafe explosion, George says something completely different and it's really unnatural the way he says it.
It also seems like some of the random videos have been taken out as well. :(
Gosh, I remember watching this on an old PlayStation demo disk. My father and uncle eventually bought it and could never complete it. Also reminds me of playing multiplayer Doom via serial link on the PlayStations...
@badboybrattli It was like the very first one that came with s PSX, I think. The one that had the T-Rex simulation you could control (the head and face). I can't remember what else was on it. Maybe a Destruction Derby demo, a Loaded demo, Jumping Jack Flash demo and a wipeout demo. This is just off the top of my head.
@KJGould I remember the T-Rex on that demo. I'm sure it had a mantaray you could control underwater too. So much nostalgia. I'm sure it also had a game called descent where you're in a little spaceship in a doom like environment.
As I picked myself up all I could hear was the ceaseless drone of traffic , life went on around me but the explosion would change my life forever - George Stobart
@KJGould - You're right. I know some trimming might have been required due to the DS size limitations but it doesn't really seem like the same game - but Revolution might just say "It's NOT the same game and that's the point - It's a directors cut - so shut the heck up". We can always just go play our PC or PSX versions I suppose. Personally, I wish Nico hadn't become the lead character. I still prefer the original intro with the crow animation,arial view of Paris, music and Stobbart's dialogue!
Did anyone else HATE nico? All the bitch did was sit there and wait for George to come back and any time ya called her "Oh I am too busy to talk to you George" still ana wesome game though :D
I remember this trailer being the only video included on the "Demo 1" disc I got free with my original Playstation. Still got the disc, and the console. Fond childhood memories.
Doing a Lets Play of this at the moment,such a classic piece of storytelling,amazing character,and that soundtrack..so stirring. :) This is what I miss about adventure games,indeed games in general is the feeling of a well crafted world on par with this.
The closest game I played recently to this would probably be the HD re-release of Beyond Good & Evil.
@KJGould The fictionalisation of the Templars has always been 'cool'; back in the late 1800s widespread Templar conspiracies were popular as hell. They're just enjoying a renaissance now, really.
@mitdafocas 2D just has this charm that 3D can't replicate. I like 3D games, and some 3D have their own charm. I think originally I read Revolution switched from 2D to 3D because it was more cost effective as the software just wasn't being developed for that type of 2D pixel based animation and it took longer. What I'm wondering though is why not return to 2D but use Adobe Flash? Current PC's and Macs can handle big files, either as digital download or on DVD or even Blu Ray now.
i could write lines and lines and endless sentences and sentences praising this game but ill make it short. THIS GAME IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER RELEASED ON ANY PLATFORM!!!
Broken Sword The shadow of The Templars and The Smoking Mirror are The Best games in the world for me forever, If you didn't play it, you missed a lot.
I remember playing a demo of this game years ago and I was hooked! I've since went on to buy them all but I feel it was this original broken sword that has instilled in me a love of all things french.... It's funny what can impact your life. I'm moving to a Francophone country this year! ( Not France)
I feel like those of us who know of this game are too far and in between. We should all band together and get friends to play this on good old scummvm. THE ORIGINAL! I'm a bit of a purist. :/
@KJGould Hahaha, that's the best way. People don't know what they're missin'. :/ I would think about getting it on steam if they had the original, but to their defense they have the second and third. ^_^
I used to play this when I was younger and this and Broken Sword 2 are my favourite games ever. Does anyone have recommendations for similar games i.e. 2D point-and-click with a similar sense of humour?
@ASFX07 Discworld and Discworld 2 but they're near impossible to come by as psygnosis folded. They're technically known as 'abandonwear' I believe. Day Of The Tentacle was a fun game too though no voice acting, just subtitles.
@KJGould Psygnosis didn't fold, they're still going as Studio Liverpool now :), also I can't wait to play Broken Sword 5, I only played 1 & 2 on my PSone, would it be worth getting 3 & 4 just to get the full story or just wait and see what 5 is like I hear its back to being like BS1 & 2
@madridboy86 I'll have to look at studio liverpool to see if they'd re-release the first 2 discworld games (discworld noir was crap and buggy). I liked 3 a lot even though it played more like a puzzle platformer. 4 became irritating for me personally because the 'lateral thinking' became ubsurd in solving some puzzles. Plus I always had difficulty running it on my PC at the time.
I think its Barry Clayton, narrator for count duckula, and did the intro for shadow of the beast (iron maiden song), if its not him then he just happens to sound very similar
Also out to anyone who's considering the directors cut, i think its just a bit rubbish, destroys the feel of the original. We'll never see another broken sword, they could make another 10 but nothing could match the first
THAT SON OF A BITCH GOAT! FUCK ME 6MONTHS TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE SCREEN MOVES 2CM TO THE LEFT AND YOU HAVE TO TRAP HIS HEAD!
HANDS DOWN, ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER PLAYED! The rest were not bad but this one will forever have a place in my heart during my youth. I wasnt allowed to play during the week but when friday came and finished school, it was me, hot milo on a rainy day and broken sword... THUMBS UP FOR THIS AWESOME GAME!
I have a question, what's the difference between the original version and the directors cut? I can't decide whether to get this game on gog or on steam
I haven't yet played through the director's cut version but I really don't like how the game starts with Nico and a very clear motive. I like how the original game starts very mysteriously and you pick up little things here and there to put together this wonderfull puzzle.
I bought the original back in mid 90s for PC. it's still my all time favourite game.
I'm playing the Directors Cut now. Somehow it feels like I'm not too happy about some of the changes. It seems like they censored the game? Can anyone confirm this? I recall that Fitzgerald mouth was bleeding when he was hit by the ferrari. In the DC it's removed.
@MagisterHamid his mouth and nose was all bloody in the cut scene before he was kidnapped yeah. I still have the original on CD Rom (2 discs - have to swap them around depending on the part of the game you've reached!).
Revolution are releasing Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror Remastered for iPad / iPhone / iPod touch before the end of the year and for PC / Mac early next year! No new content apparently just facial annimations and some tweaking of things that didn't work well before.
@KJGould Just a director's cut, but the remastered version will be similar to what they did with BS:DC (just no new added content). Also Broken Sword 5 is in the works too apparently and it will be in 2D.
@Lefiath It does. Although he didn't work on it himself, it was animated by guys that worked with/for him I think. It's a great style that works well with the themes of this class game :D
@Pxxxxxxxxl Ah ok, I think they called it a Directors Cut or something. Just as well I have the originals! I thought the first 3 games were released as a pack recently, to play on modern PC's?
@KJGould Yes, that's correct, Broken Sword 1, 2 & 3 all for a £10 on a single disc with Beneath A Steel Sky thrown in for free. Great Value For Money... but the whole series is priceless.
@DAVEvJOHN Can you play it in a higher resolution now, or do you have to play in a lower setting? I'm tempted to get this so I don't have to change discs for certain levels!
This game, this trailer, this symbolises my youth. A youth now lost and gone forever and as I grow older, my love for this game and everything to do with it, will also grow. It brings back so many memories of a more vulnerable time, a more care-free time... now into adulthood, where there is nothing but pain, misery and eventually death... it's these treasures that you must, and that I cling too the most.
@W00ZIE666 I agree with everything you said. First played this game 13 years ago when I was 8 and I still love it to this day. As I grow older I always make sure I have a copy of broken sword 1 & 2 with me. It is familiar and comforting in an often harsh and unpredictable world. Something comes along like Broken Sword every so often to remind us not to die yet. It is one of those things that give value to survival. I will always carry this game in my heart until my dying day.
@KJGould Thanks, are you sure, there's nothing to link him to it anywhere.
Casey Affleck would be ideal to play George Stobbart i think. If I were in charge of casting I would put everything i own on it. You heard it here first!!
@KJGould Yes Aaron Eckhart really looks like Stobbart. Also they need to cast some french actors. I can't imagine Rosso or Nico without a french accent. Jean Reno could be a good Rosso even if it will be a lot like his character in DaVinci Code.
I luved this game wen i was a kid gr8 story to it, Excellent game a use to play it on the ps1 lol quite a few year back now lol dont seem like it tho :)
@rich23007 You need to click on the left side and then swiftly on the right one. This way, the goat gets to jump to one side, and when it tries to get you, her chain gets stuck on the scenery. It's kind of tricky but with that info, you should have no problem.
BTW, I was stuck on that darn goat part for over a year, when walkthroughs didn't exist, OMG.
@jaylex666 ye i know. its going to happen in 2012 when the planets line up! lucifer will become like a man (he is the broken sword in which the game refers). 2012 is the reforging of "the sword" and used to slay Gods People!
@dakidrick I understood that the weapon was a weapon that channeled the earths powers and used to influence peoples minds (thus convert them) the idol they respected was Baphomet whom they saw as a covenant from god
The story of Broken sword The Shadow of the Templars is THE BEST OFF ALL GAMES period, there is nothing else to say,also the graphics for the time were awesome and the voices are perfect this game is a masterpiece.
Broken Sword 1 is the greatest videogame of all time. I still find the graphics amazing and I love the story, gameplay, voice acting and soundtrack. I have played 4 versions of this and I think the PC version is better than the rest. The motion control puzzles and extra chapters on the Wii version were a nice addition but for some reason a lot of the original dialogue is missing and the graphics (not including the comic book style character close ups when talking occurs) seem less impressive. ?
Just spent the past few days reliving the adventures of George Stobbart... Double B, double T! LOL! Spent the past 3 or 4 days straight playing Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2. Such awesome games, always nice to play them again after all these years! For such an old game, they have such complex and gripping storylines! I never noticed how awesome the storylines are when I was little and I first played them!
AMAZING!
Can't wait for the English voiced for Broken Sword 2.5 now!
The voice belongs to Vincent Price, one of the most famous actors in horror movie history ... by the way he also was featured in Michael Jackson's Thriller

@KJGould Yes Aaron Eckhart really looks like Stobbart. Also they need to cast some french actors. I can't imagine Rosso or Nico without a french accent. Jean Reno could be a good Rosso even if it will be a lot like his character in DaVinci Code.
KingTeDdY62 1 year ago
@KingTeDdY62 Maybe a European actor, not necessarily French. For Rosso how about Giancarlo Giannini? For Nico perhaps Marion Cotillard?
KJGould 1 year ago
@KJGould Well yeah Giannini can be a good Rosso, but I'd like him to have a french accent, like in the game.
Marion Cotillard? Why not ;)

@jonnyheadshot Good catch. I'm not sure then. I mean the game came out in 1996, but I doubt it took over 3 years to make.

do's anyone know how to get past the goat
rich23007 1 year ago
@rich23007 You need to click on the left side and then swiftly on the right one. This way, the goat gets to jump to one side, and when it tries to get you, her chain gets stuck on the scenery. It's kind of tricky but with that info, you should have no problem.
BTW, I was stuck on that darn goat part for over a year, when walkthroughs didn't exist, OMG.

@jaylex666 ye i know. its going to happen in 2012 when the planets line up! lucifer will become like a man (he is the broken sword in which the game refers). 2012 is the reforging of "the sword" and used to slay Gods People!
dakidrick 1 year ago
@dakidrick I understood that the weapon was a weapon that channeled the earths powers and used to influence peoples minds (thus convert them) the idol they respected was Baphomet whom they saw as a covenant from god
jaylex666 1 year ago
@jaylex666 Correct! but i are deceived though becouse the baphmet is the idol of Lucifer who is the fallen Arc Angel. The Father of all Lies.

The story of Broken sword The Shadow of the Templars is THE BEST OFF ALL GAMES period, there is nothing else to say,also the graphics for the time were awesome and the voices are perfect this game is a masterpiece.
nightend210 2 years ago 5
Broken Sword 1 is the greatest videogame of all time. I still find the graphics amazing and I love the story, gameplay, voice acting and soundtrack. I have played 4 versions of this and I think the PC version is better than the rest. The motion control puzzles and extra chapters on the Wii version were a nice addition but for some reason a lot of the original dialogue is missing and the graphics (not including the comic book style character close ups when talking occurs) seem less impressive. ?

Just spent the past few days reliving the adventures of George Stobbart... Double B, double T! LOL! Spent the past 3 or 4 days straight playing Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2. Such awesome games, always nice to play them again after all these years! For such an old game, they have such complex and gripping storylines! I never noticed how awesome the storylines are when I was little and I first played them!
AMAZING!
Can't wait for the English voiced for Broken Sword 2.5 now!

The voice belongs to Vincent Price, one of the most famous actors in horror movie history ... by the way he also was featured in Michael Jackson's Thriller
