Maybe they just haven't changed it since last year?

I do, obviously

Sky Warrior Bob · 05-27-2004, 02:33 AM

Because I can no longer make the distinction between sarcasm & actual opinions, I'm going to do my best at describing what I see in the pictures...

Picture 1: Surf Shop
Basically, that's what this is, a surf shop. Little hut with shark teeth adorning it, and a bunch of surf boards. Outside is a hairy chested individual posing on a surf board mounted on a wooden stand. Kinda like it were an ironing board.

Brian, or somebody who looks just like him, is also in this picture, wearing a orange shirt.

Picture 2: Pyramid/Archeological Dig
Basically, it looks like your stereotypically interior of an ancient temple of some order. Stone walls, with some indistinct markings, and a large stone slab on the ground, also with markings.

In the picture, there are two people. One, being a girl with short blond hair, wearing some sort of adventuring garb, and taking notes. The other person is a man, and I can't make too much details about him, but from my perspective, he looks as if he has dark hair, and a possible 5 O'clock shadow. He also has some wrist ornimatation that doesn't seem Brian's style.

Picture 3: Military Check Point.
Two HumVees & a tank guarding a dirt road, that's just off the main road. Also a stop sign & a sign that says check point, as well as a few traffic cones.

In the picture, there are two people. One being a military guard, complete in cameo uniform, and that guy who I've identified as Brian, again wearing his orange shirt.

Now that's what I see.

Sky Warrior Bob, you analythical ability is extraordinary, you should work at the cia or something

Anyhow it's looks like they're really turning it into an Indy clone, with its own identity ofcourse. I think it'll turn out pretty good for them, lots of people long for this type of adventuring adventure, or whatever you'd classify it to be. I enjoyed the first part even though it had some annoying bits, and characters lacking any depth whatsoever. I hope they try to improve on that. Don't really care if they're featuring brian again, but he'd better have a whole lot better dialogue alltogether.

)

BTW the sideburn guy looks kinda like Bryan.

No I think they actually only live there. Their hunting relies on group assaults in (mostly) shallow waters, then they all die when the rivers dry up, and then they thrive again when the annual moesson hits the deltas.

That's not Brian! Study his face -- Does it look like Brian to you?
By the looks of it right now, it seems that you will be in control of 2 characters.

The 2nd playable-character will be located in South America. There will most likely be some Inca-artifacts (2nd picture) in this area.

Just look at this Inca-artifact and the 2nd picture on the stone-door.

It looks the same, riiight?

By the look of the sketch, Brian is inside a ship wreck.
This made me think of 2 controlable characters. Because the person on the sketch looks like Brian AND this one doesn't have sideburns like the 2nd character.

Maybe the 2nd character is his brother or something related to Brian.

But if it is the same person ('to the falls' in the 3rd sketch), here's the wrecks located in South America:

Hmmm.. Hope they reveal more information soon!
I can't wait to see if I'm correct

One word; No.

Looks like Sushi to me!

Again, no. Have you looked at Sushi? She has her hair upwards.. Like Marge in The Simpsons. Sushi is also a drag-up queen. Also, their skin color is different. You see? It's not Sushi...

***Jackal*** · 05-27-2004, 03:46 PM

Sushi isn't one of the drag queens. I'd be amazed if that ISN'T her in the new screenshot. That's who I was referring to in my earlier post on page 1, but couldn't remember her name.

For comparison: original Sushi screenshot

I doubt she'd be a playable character, though.

Yes, yes he does. I mean sure, his hair is a bit darker & he's got a goatee & sideburns, but other than that the face appears exactly the same. The image I attached shows a picture of Runaway 1 Brian & a quick attempt to give him a goatee & sideburns.

Frankly, I don't have a problem identifying the orange shirt guy as Brian. Plus, since this isn't the final version, this isn't necessarily the final look and additional tweaking may produce different results.

As for the Sushi angle, I can see the similarity, and I suppose it could be her. I just can't fathom why'd she'd be out on an archeological dig, it just doesn't fit her character, IMO. Then again, I get the vague feeling that the Runaway games are taking their cues from the Broken Sword games, and thus wouldn't be suprised if we see a cameo or two.

...I hate Runaway.

Well, your loss!

I hate 1st person adventures, like Myst!

Still won't believe that it's Brian, though

DomStLeger · 05-28-2004, 05:03 AM

I still haven't played Runaway 1. GMX STILL haven't released it in the UK, and I haven't got around to importing a copy yet (I'm a student and thus too poor

). And now the sequel is on the horizon! I was joking when I said the sequel would arrive here before the original, but now I think it could actually happen!

Neither have I.

I refused to buy it when it came out in the Netherlands because it had been localised (Dutch menu, Dutch inventory-items, Dutch subtitles). I hate that. I admit that Dutch voices are even worse, but I would rather go without the game than have to play it partially in Dutch.

I've been to New Zealand on a business trip in November and picked it up there, but haven't had the time to play...

Now I hope the sequel will be totally in English (or at least offer the player the choice to switch between languages or sell both a 100% Dutch version AND a 100% English version) or I'll have to go on another business trip
