- Опубліковано 22 вер 2024
- Broken Sword: Shadow Of The Templars Reforged comes to PS5 on 19th September, updating the classic PS1 adventure for modern times. Rosie plays the opening stretch of Broken Sword PS5 - familiar to all players of the original PS1 demo - and talks to the series creator, Charles Cecil, about all the visual updates, new difficulty modes and how the team have fixed inconsistencies that bugged them for nearly 30 years!
This Broken Sword Shadow Of The Templars Reforged gameplay shows off the original artwork in 4K - that’s 50 times the resolution of the PS1 original. This Broken Sword gameplay also shows how Charles and his team have massaged elements they’ve wanted to fix for years - you’ll never look at the drainpipe in the same way again! Did you play the Broken Sword demo back in the day and will you be playing Reforged on PS5? Let us know in the comments.
Thanks to Charles Cecil for talking us through the latest version of the game!

We need MORE point and click games in this style. It never should have gone away
They tried to dumb it down to much to the point that those games have no real purpose anymore.
They should’ve found a middle ground between Grim Fandango & the TellTale games
Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit
Yes!!
I guess you haven't browsed steam.
@@SnakerPacedude there is nothing that compares to a full AAA point and click from the 90s. There are a few indie gems out there but nothing that comes close to that golden age.
Charles sounds so much like Rob I thought this was a skit video initially 😂
Exactly what I thought!
@@kielbrooke501I spent the 3 minutes of this video thinking was rob involved in this games making or… wth is going on… had to go to the comments to figure it out lol
I read your comment before watching and I still thought it was Rob at first lol
Somewhere between Alex and Rob for me.
Yeah, and one minute in talking about water:)
Might seem weird, but this is actually my favorite game of all time. Played it as a child, started learning english from it. I remember a lot of the lines. This game is a true gem!
Broken Sword 2>>>>>>> I hope it gets the remake treatment too
They want to make it too. I hope this one sells well.
I think they are trying to gather more funds for next game with this one?
@@FaultyGear9 Both actually.
I honestly love being able to see stuff like developer commentary like this, Backed this on kickstarter so can't wait for my physical.
I am ten minutes in... And as a childhood fan of this game, i am trilled its happing and in awe of the consideration made clear from this interview and showcase. Thanks rob for making this possible
My favourite point & click adventure series of all time! Can't wait to dive back into this!
Broken sword is one of my favourite game EVER MADE. Its story, characters concept are incredible. It was this and the monkey island series that made me want to travel and see the world.
Has Rob been moonlighting as one of my favourite video game directors? He and Charles are seriously voice twins, it’s uncanny!
Super excited about the remaster, the love that’s been lavished on it is so obvious :) I’m glad they kept the music and original voices too - they’re a massive part of my nostalgia hit. This is definitely on my wishlist ❤
Lol not just the voice itself but a lot of just the cadence and slight stutter at times matches Rob
A 4K nostalgia punch to the face . I cannot WAIT for this.
I'm so happy you brought Charles Cecil back. I said it back in the 'Beyond the Steel Sky' video and I will say it here again. I could listen to him going on about video games for hours. The dude clearly has a lot of love and passion for his art and craft. It's a please to listen to him.
I really love this game!! It's so iconic and I'm so thrilled to see it's lovingly been updated. Rosie is such a lovely host and it's wonderful we have the game creator to talk us through this new version. Makes my heart happy.
Great video Rosie! And Charles is always a pleasure to listen too. So hyped for this game
Listening to a game director talk about his game so lovingly and Rosie fangirling is great. It cheers me up because so many people are blasé about games these days.
Guys am so happy to go back to this masterpiece thanks revolution one of my fav games of all time so exited
I've absolutely loved listening to Charles Cecil in this video. His enthusiasm and love for this game is infectious, it's so nice to see/hear that from people who are involved with the game.
I'll be picking this up as soon as possible, thanks PlayStation Access for putting out this video
Oh god I’d forgotten this game, loved it when I was young, classic. The Director totally sold me on this, great job showing it off from both.
I could literally listen to Charles Cecil all day. I adore he still has as much passion today as he obviously did back in the 90s.
You should have asked Charles what the goat's name is... we could settle so many online debates about who the real goat is!
His name is Ram 🐏
I can’t wait to play this. Hopefully more like it follow. Discworld anyone?
Why would anyone want to do that again?
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing and what a delightful interview. Charles was so humble and Rosie’s questions were SO good. Her enthusiasm for this game is clear and it’s such a joy to see it again.
As someone who played a lot of the original on PC but never finished, only to try again on Nintendo DS and not get as far (I think there was more of a focus on Nico, or maybe I just chose different options?), I can’t wait to revisit this world again.
I love all the little touches to honour the original and bring it into the modern era.
I didn’t expect this and didn’t tonie I needed it in my life, but I cannot wait to spend time with George and Nico again😊
I played this on PC, but it still takes me back, those were the glory days.
I've never played this game, but listening to Charles and his passion and joy around this game makes me want to play it 🥰
One of the greatest video games ever! Happy that I was there back in 1996!
I remember my brother having a PS1 and the demo disc had Broken Sword on it. I've never been so fascinated with a game that I (at the age of 11-12) saved up my £5 pocket money each week until I had enough to get hold of a second hand PlayStation and went to Ross Records, where the game was £30. It took me and my friend several months to complete (no internet guides back then) but it was so rewarding, with the Templar- Hashashin storyline really capturing my imagination. Can't wait to play this!
This chap could be the most polite English gent I've heard in years.
One of the best point and click adventure games of all time. I’m definitely buying this, again. 😅
Love this game
Charles Cecil, what a legend. Thank you for some of my very best Childhood adventures.
I miss these types of games. Also loved the Runaway series
Broken Sword is one of my favourite ever games. It really is a wonderful series.
I got into Broken Sword thanks to the BS2 demo.
Me too.
I had know idea about this coming out. The nostalgia i get from this game...Oh it's awesome.
And a physical version will be coming out through Red Art games
It's one of the many point and click adventures my father played and I watched when I was still little. A very nostalgic game.
I will be turning the hints off and play it how I played it in the 90's
what a game this is. Can't wait to get it tomorrow
Broken Sword 1 & 2 are in my top 5 favourite games, perhaps the top 2 depending on what day you ask me. The beautiful background art, the stunning music, the wonderful charcters and their stellar voice acting, just lovely comfort food teleporting me back to a simpilar time. I try to play the originals every couple of years. I remember being so upset with the 3D games and the Directors cuts, but this looks it has been made with the same love as that first game.
Maybe the new lick of paint might be too clean, I look at that old art and think "phwoar, it's only graced with age and still holds up", but I look forward to giving it a go for yet another playthrough!
Please can you have Charles back to talk more about the game? As sometime who played the original on PS1 (a 3 disc set with Myst and Road Rash, no less!), this was such a pleasure to watch!
It‘s great to hear the enthusiasm and I can‘t help but being excited as well ❤
Im glad i looked at the comments before hearing Rob the whole time. Thats uncanny!
Amazing showcase! This was a delight to watch. Thank you to Charles Cecil, Rosie Caddick, all the people who worked on the game and all the people who made this video. Hope this remaster introduces more people to enjoy it. If I could give more likes to this video under the same account I would
I like that Charles really understands and thinks about player psychology
I was convinced it was Rob talking the whole time
Can't wait to head back to "Paris in the fall" all over again
I will totally buy this again. I have the original version and the director's cut. Heck even the mobile version. Because I love this game. It was very formative when I played it as a kid. Forever influenced my taste in games.
Charles has such a lovely enthusiasm and passion while talking about this. Fantastic to hear 😊
I'm loving all the continuity fixes too. New error that did not escape my eye though, there are briefly two cards when receiving Rosso's card 😉
For me, since PlayStation in 1996, this is always quest number one, and the moment at 16:28 - masterpiece!
Still enjoying Broken Sword 5 in my PS Vita
It genuinely is refreshing to me to see George pick himself up at the correct speed, Having a PS1 official copy of the game that for some reason plays a lot faster than it should! 😅 In all seriousness though, I can't wait to play this again! even though it has only been a short while since my last playthrough! 🤩
I loved the original broken sword series when I was a young whippersnapper.
Of my all time faves
Loving Rosie’s enthusiasm.
Can't wait to play, I do miss one thing, the subtitles are not above the characters and different colours
Can’t wait to play this game ! The game and art work looks beautiful
I have so much nostalgia for this game, absolutely loved it on the ps1. Can’t wait to play it again, looks so good!
I was kind of hoping Rob would be tag teaming this video with Rosie because he's made his distain known for the Goat Puzzle over the years on the channel :)
EDIT this was such a treat to watch with the interview with Charles Cecil, such an entertaining watch :)
Wow the art in the game is beautiful!
Charles has such a relaxing voice
Played this on PC, was one of my favorite games as a kid. Like everyone else, I got frustrated by the goat puzzle until internet came along in my house years later 😂 what a graphics upgrade!
I thought it was Rob at first with how similar the voices are.
I hope there will be a collectors edition of this game as well, I got the Monkey Island collectors edition and this would go perfectly with it.
Don’t cross the road until the little man shows green.
Words I’ve lived by my whole life.
I can't like this video enough!! So hyped too be playing one of my favourites again with a whole new shine on it!
I'm going to buy the physical version of this. Bring on the sequel!
I don't know that no one had heard of the Knights Templar in 1996
Before this, before Assassins' Creed, before DaVinci Code, not only are there plenty of place names in the UK that have "Temple" in them, as lands whose income went to the Templars, not only were medievalists, wargamers and role-players aware of them, but "Holy Blood and Holy Grail" had been a best-seller
Templars were all over the shop
This looks beautiful and I hope it sells well. I hope 2 gets the same treatment one day and I can't wait to see more of 6.
And… this is how you sell a game, point out the differences/improvement clearly and have the people involved showcase it, the reverence to the original is palpable 😊
Fantastic work, I have vivid memories of the Broken Sword 2 demo as a kid, (it was some guy in a cabin at the docks with a dog behind a fence iirc?) I'm excited to play these!
Great classic game! Full throttle and the dig too!
So this is what Revolution has been working on all this time. Nice!
I love this game, it ranks to me at least as high as monkey Island and day of the tentacle, great stuff
I remember Rob saying he played this as a kid and had problems with the puzzles 😂
This franchise was a big part of my childhood I loved these games so happy it's got a remaster when can I buy it??
I'm really looking forward to playing this upgraded version. I still have my PS1 copies of the first 2 Broken Sword games
The original is my favourite game. Love it. 😊 perfect.
I played the entire series on PC, some of the best adventures games ever made.
Looks great! Beneath a Steel Sky next please 😊❤
Love all the updates but I think I’m most excited about the loading times between screens. They were brutal.
One of my favourite game series ever. ❤
Already pre order and just waiting for today release
Just give Charles the controller, his backseating gaming the whole video
Loved the Dave Cummins credit from Charles. The writing and humour in the games dropped off ever since he left which was after he'd finished work on BS2. Hope their new games do well & I wish Revolution all the best, but I won't be playing them - what I've heard from the dialogue & humour in 5 & the current teaser for 6 made me wince. I'll always cherish 1 & 2 though. Won't ever be topped. Couldn't tolerate BASS2 either.
RIP Dave Cummins 🙏
I never even knew it was on PS1. I played the PC version back in the day, and I hope they also remaster the other games.
Btw, people say Charles sounds like Rob but imo he rather sounds like Alex.
I’ve played broken sword 1 & 2 so many times. I love them but I wish there was a way to play 3 & 4!
a nice conversation more of this please
Why have I not heard this is out again? It’s not even on the PS home page today? I had to search for it!
I loved these games so much!!
I hope this means we'll get a re-release of the sequels. One of the first games I ever played on playstation.The solution to the goat came to me in a dream after many frustrating hours of wondering around.
playstation store is disrespecting this game. its not even on the new games list. you have to type in the title Broken Sword for it to show up. even if you wishlisted the game you dident get a notification. just because i knew the Release date i was able to download it. something funky was going on.
Love this game!
I can tell Rob is sick. Get well soon!
Yaaaasssss! 😮 I pray the other sequels also get such loving remakes. ... and the occasional epilogue 😉
Somebody please remaster and remake all the best point and click adventures and release in one bundle. Such as Discworld games, Blazing Dragon, Gabriel Knight and many many more. Pretty please 😅
First of all I Thought it was Rob 😅For me Broken Sword Shadow Of The Templars is the best. When I first saw this remake i was like "well the graphics has not change much" and then whe it switches to the original graphics Im like..."oh..thats what it looked like back then. I remember it much much more sharp on the PSX" 😂 Freaking awesome game, still remember all the story and most of the puzzles ❤
I like the game help stuff. One thing I like about the phone versions if they added hints.
I have been getting into point and click games recently and I picked up games like cyanide and happiness freakpocalypse episode 1, thimbleweed, the little acre, and the wardrobe. Also, full throttle remastered, return to monkey island, the many pieces of mr coo, and day of the tentacle (which these 4 I need to play still). Now broken sword, detective gallo, and lost in play is on that list too. I need to get my childhood game too - pajama sam. I do wish that had a physical version of all the pajama sam games in a bundle. I guess I'll have to get the digital version of the humongous classic collection 🤷♀️
As a fan of the series from the beginning, I have only one question:
Will there be a physical release or will it be purely digital? (I am at work right now and don't have time to watch the whole video and see if it is mentioned)
I thought it was rob at the very start hahahahahaahha
Take my money and hope all broke sword to ps5 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They should remake disc world that was a classic
in my country it's the 19 of september 12:20 PM and in steam i see coming soon. what time should i look at ? pdt ? pst ? est ?
Best game
Omg I need to get a lobotomy
So I can redo them 😆
