Did you play Jane Jensen's game "Gray Matter" ? I played the demo but I 
wasn't very interested in the story the game was about, so I didn't get the 
game. Gray Matter doesn't sound like it had the success of the GK games. A 
lot of mixed opinions about it. I wonder why she wanted to do a remake of 
Gabriel Knight 2. I thought the GK2 and GK3 were better games, though GK1 
was good too.

One game I would have liked to see updated with better graphics is "Realms 
of the Haunting". it is adventure/action but the story and challenges are 
good. It had some shooting to get rid of enemies, but the enemies just 
disappeared when you got rid of them so wasn't very realistic, but was a 
challenge to get rid of them and get on with your quest. The focus of the 
game was the quest. It would have been a really good game if the graphics 
had been updated.I guess it will never be updated.

I found this link below about the remake which had a trailer of the new 
remake, but I couldn't get it to play. I only got the interview with Jane 
Jensen to play.

Jane talks about the possibility of a GK4. I would like that if the game was 
along the lines of GK2 and 3. Also she said Tim Curry's voice wouldnt be in 
the remakr of GK1 because it was 20 years since the original was made and 
would cost too much to put his voice back in and he wouldn 't sound the 
same - maybe he does sound much the same. a lot of peoples voices don't 
change much as they get older, just their looks do, some more than others :)

I don't know anything about Moebius. I would have to look it up. I also 
don't know about Space venture, but if its about space, I wouldn't likely be 
interested.
