Nope, no official publisher announcement, no title, and no demo at the moment. But since the game is so close to completion already, expect all these things to fall into place in short order.
I've really got high hopes for this game. Kheops is another of those studios that's really trying to learn from experience, and the theme/time period should be a breath of fresh air. |

Hendroz, what I saw at GDC wasn't a playable demo, but in-game stuff that Benoit demonstrated for me. I'm hoping they will release a demo though... I'd love to get my hands on this game. -emily |

Ooooooh, this is looking to be an amazing game. Normally I'm not a fan of Myst-style games (Unlike my girlfriend, who is the master of them), but I really REALLY enjoyed RtMI, and it looks like Kheops won't dissapoint with this new one!

Thanks for this detailed and very interesting preview, Emily.
I can't await the release. Although being a sworn 3rd-person-view-fan I loved playing RTMI and now I am really hyped for the Lascaux game, especially the setting. The screens are beautiful and I am glad they use the same engine as in RTMI, which in my book has the most gorgeous and detailed graphics I've ever seen in a 1st-person game except for Myst Revelation. Heck, they even stick to the same cursor.

Of course, Emily once again couldn't hold her non-casual gamer uptightness to herself. Let me quote:

Sorry Seriously, I am eagerly awaiting more info about this game. If only one of them stupid Polish publishers brought RtMI down here at last.... *sigh*

Okay, cavemen aside... It sounds like they worked hard to make the game authentic. It made me really curious about how advanced Cro-Magnons really were. The whole thing about the frescoes and the idea of a world-famous painter (Klem) with an assistant and everything, and that you could train to be a painter rather than a hunter... I don't know how realistic all that is. Sounds more like the Renaissance to me... but who knows? It would be cool if Cro-Magnons really were that civilized. -emily Last edited by fov; 03-24-2005 at 10:11 AM. Reason: typo |

Have a hard time picturing a caveman in overalls... a hairy ape with long arms? And how was the cavewoman dressed? |

I wish I could find this ad on the web somewhere, but I looked and haven't been able to. Geico has some of their other ads online but not this one. |

They sort of replaced the old "Neanderthal" man which was far more an animal than a man and, however, there's proof that he was not our direct progenitor, as he was of a different human species which ended up when Cro-Magnon took over the human world with their wit. Of course, Neanderthal would be suited for an action game, but for an adventure... I guess Cro Magnon is the right choice! |

That's interesting. I never really knew the difference between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons. I suspect a lot of people don't... so the fact that the game will have documentation about all this is pretty cool. (I might actually learn something!) -emily |

That's true. For example, I didn't know much about Voodoo until I played Gabriel Knight.

Reminds me of one of the best features of Cryo developed games, their attention to the back story and real life history behind their own game plots.
Gives it that depth. Great preview and news scoop - Em ! Ohh and I love the caveman ads - gonna file a class action suit any day now, Hey cavemen gots rights! |
