It's confirmed: Tim Schafer's making a Sierra game! - Page 2

*Melanie68* · 09-08-2006, 03:03 PM

I only played part of Psychonauts before it frustrated me enough to put it aside (inside Sasha Nein's mind with the censors). I loved and had so much fun with the camp and Basic Braining but I gave up after that.

I would like to see him make another adventure game possibly using the way you controlled Raz (which was tons of fun with a gamepad).

I will be evil and ask Spiwak what he means by a classic adventure.

He can create a Schaferic adventure game.

Maybe it'll be Queen's Quest...

Y'know, everything else he's ever made, basically (I count GF as a classic adventure game even though it's a different interface).

I like adventure games just as much as the next guy, but I'd like to see him do something different with all that creativity he has and the backing of a major label. And I say with all due respect, of course; I love his adventure games more than anyone else's.

Also, he shouldn't make a classic adventure game because I'd like his company to actually stick around for a while.

Laura Blows.

No, no, that's not what I mean. Pervs.

Sort of a cross between Body Blows, Colonel's Bequest, Arkanoid and Tomb Raider. Only way cooler. And of course with some kind of wicked back plot that's causing Vivendi's marketing department nightmares.

I see what you're saying. I hope he adds some adventure elements like he did with Psychonauts but I hope he adds difficulty levels that you can choose for lazy dorks like me who don't have the mental energy to learn new stuff in games. I can't remember in Psychonauts now, if there was an easy option.

That's kind of a depressing statement.

LOL.

Tim is the perfect designer to help breathe new life in to the graphic adventure genre. If anyone can bring the "classic" flavour back with a new twist it's him. Either way, I can't wait to see what he's brewing...

Woohoooo!!!

I don't think anyone has posted this link yet. There is a nice joke picture for all of us old school Sierra (actually pre-sierra) adventure fans on Double Fine's news page.

That is awesome!! We actually had a thread in chit-chat where Samiamsad brought up that game that Roberta was on the cover of.

eriq · 09-08-2006, 06:51 PM

LOL! that is pretty great. Ahhh gotta love the pre-Sierra Sierra boxes.

Junkface · 09-08-2006, 08:03 PM

I hope this game shows him doing something really radical from a gameplay perspective - it's something we haven't really seen a huge amount of from him. Of course, I wouldn't object to an adventure game or another, further refined take on platformers but would love to see something completely new like a Schafer RTS or maybe even something slightly Animal Crossing like.

Kolzig · 09-09-2006, 12:20 AM

I'm hoping that it's going be something completely different than before, but knowing Schafer's work, it will be.

I've never seen this before, but it just gave me a big laugh.

eriq · 09-09-2006, 07:44 AM

yup. That was the original King's Quest 5 box. It was.... interesting. I still have it in my closet.

ATMachine · 09-09-2006, 11:19 AM

The awfulness of that box is beyond words. It's.....

Even LEC's boxes at their worst (read: the EMI boxart) were never that bad.

Lucien21 · 09-09-2006, 11:27 AM

Maybe it's a sequel to Magna Cum Laude and the soft porn joke is a hint.
