Lucasarts is making a new adventure game...
...developed inhouse and set to be released 2007 if you are to believe their press release. Their new and yet unnamed Indiana Jones game is suppose to be an "unforgettable story-driven adventure".
If anything of this are even close to being accurate I'm in heaven. Here comes the bad news for me though. They are developing it for next generation consoles only. But if the game is what they claim it to be I might even consider buying a console. http://www.lucasarts.com/press/releases/101.html |
I'll bet that it'll be an action Indy game though. Though I'd love to be wrong and have it be more like Fate of Atlantis.
Not that there's anything wrong with action games with a really good story to them. Not at all. Nope. Those are the best kind, I think. I'll just be going now. |
The word adventure has many meanings so don't hold your breath. I'm pretty sure it's not going to be the kind of adventure this website is about.

Given the press release talks about consoles, physics and AI I'd be very surprised if it's what I call an adventure. I'm guessing action with a few simple puzzles thrown in.

:D 20 years of adventuring and still going nowhere, he? Just kidding. As long as it's not just another Lara rip-off.. Oh, wait. Will it be developed by one of their incredibly talented in-house teams? ... |
Lucasarts will never make another Adventure game because they are stupid poopyheads.
|
That whole press release is just standard Lucasarts bullshit. I hate the way they brag about how their new breed of generic action titles are making them so much money. Why cant people just stop givin them money?!?
Ah well, going to see Revenge of the Sith tomorrow. :D |
Thanks for the link!
To LucasArts: I believe it when I see it, and I certainly won't buy a console only to play a LucasArts game, no matter how much adventure it pretends to include. |

Doesn't really sound that tempting in my opinion. If I wanted to whip zombie skeletons, I would go and see my... nevermind. I have promised Lucasarts not to buy their products after the cancellation of Sam & Max: Freelance Police (which probably had poor AI and phycics anyway :shifty: ).

Wow, another Indy "adventure" by Lucashttp://www.smiley-channel.de/grafike..._obzoen029.gifs. I think I'll pass...

One other thing: how thick is your skull that you actually believe what companies are willing to say in their press releases? :r |

Do you really believe that you know the exact reasons for cancelling Sam and Max 2? The reason for making a new Indiana Jones-game is that there is a new movie coming up. Indiana Jones is a little more well known then Sam and Max wouldn't you agree? If I were to predict what this game will be like in the end then I somewhat agree with you. Maybe this won't be a "straight-up adventuregame" exactly like Grim Fandango or EMI. But I do believe that it will have elements of an adventuregame. If they write a press release like this they should at least have the desire to make the game like they describe it. But we will eventually see how the game turns out. If it doesn't get cancelled that is. ;) |

They call it adventure. I call it uninteresting. :shifty: Edit: Oops! I am already hating the game :D |
