Considered a very bad title, it still left an impression on certain people. A true video game UFO, he has made his comeback to the forefront!
A game so bad it becomes… Good?
Sometimes gamers have guilty pleasures when it comes to video games. You know, a title unanimously considered disappointing, if not completely disappointing, but that you can't help but enjoy. “Tastes and colors” is a phrase that perfectly sums up this kind of feeling, since sometimes, the affection for poor quality production cannot be explained. This is how some people feel about FMV Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties, which can be translated from English as Plumbers do not wear ties. Released in 1994, this title features a plumber named John and a young woman named Jane. Everyone is under pressure from their parents to find an ideal spouse, as well as a job. When Jane goes to a job interview, she is attacked by the boss of the company, but saved at the last moment by John. The player will then have to make a series of choices to obtain the correct continuation of the story.
Upon its release, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties was very poorly received by the specialist press. Its technical quality is far from impeccable and its story resembles that of a film for adults. However, some players still appreciated this great nonsense, and that is the reason why this title is coming back to the forefront, 30 years later!
Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties est de retour !
This classic of bad games will not be forgotten, since the publisher Limited Run Games has officially announced its release as a remaster. Thus, a team of developers worked meticulously to increase the quality of the images so that they are in 4K and more pleasant to look at today. In this version, new interviews and comments have been added, for the biggest fans. This Definitive Edition is now available on PS5, Xbox Series, PS4 and Nintendo Switch for €19.99. A PC version on Steam should be released in the near future.
So, you can already immerse yourself in this FMV known to be a very bad title. Between nostalgia and the discovery of a title with humor from another era, it's a safe bet that this remaster is already making many people happy.
