Are you guys still fans of the Tex Murphy series? With the new Tex Murphy boob being dropped there is increasing rumors that we are going to get a release date on the NEW Tex Murphy The Poisoned Pawn game.
In this video we discuss those rumors, view the trailer and speculate a little bit. It’s more hype video than data dump but I hope it helps rekindle our excitement for this title.
Thanks in advance my adventure cap wearing friends!!

If they won’t announce the release date for Poisoned Pawn, I’d be more than happy if they’d announce they’ve managed to remaster and upscale the FMV footage for the old games and release new versions of those. Considering how good results modern AI upscaling manages to achieve with old videos, it wouldn’t even be out of the realms of possibility.

Did you play the Tesla Effect? That wasn’t pretty. While I like the idea of old IP’s staying alive I’m not sure I want that life to be poorly lived. I’m excited to get a good look at this but I agree with you. I’d almost prefer to get a shiny package of the games we knew were good.

I thought Tesla Effect looked pretty good and was a pretty fun game as well. I was well satisfied with it, some small puzzles excluded.

Pretty sure you meant to say the book just dropped, unless we’re talking about a new Saffyre ending.  Tongue

Oh yes, bring it on! I actually enjoyed Tesla Effect quite a lot, and I’d like to see as many Tex Murphy adventure games as possible as long as Chris Jones is in a good shape Smile

I hate to be the one that spills the beans but the poisoned pawn has been canned.

Please tell us, when was it canned and why? Only a year ago to the day, Mat van Rhoon assured people on Steam that they were still working on it. I’m sure you know more, you’ve been promoting the game as long as I can remember.

Why only as long as he’s in good shape? I think it would be an interesting idea to have Tex in a “down and out” state, now a downtrodden detective out of work.

At least it’s something different, something which Tesla Effect could have done with.

Wikipedia says this: “On April 30th, 2021, it was announced on the Aaron Connor’s, the lead writer for the series, website that the game has been shelved for the time being.Developers from Chaotic Fusion have come out saying the reasoning for the cancellation was due to creative differences.”

So if it’s not a problema of budget, maybe they can still solve it…

Isn’t it how most of his cases start, with Tex sitting in his cheap office, drunk and penniless, giving dance lessons to pay his bills? Chris Jones just made him look less miserable and more likable. And yet Tex regularly saves the Earth and humanity (and mutantity), so maybe he deserved at least some wealth and glory instead of sinking in the lower depths. But we’ll probably never witness it now that Poisoned Pawn is cancelled.

Big Finish games just posted official info, here’s a link: https://bigfinishgames.com/may-2021-update/

They state as much, that as far they are concerned, Poisoned Pawn is over from their part, but if Chaotic Fusion wants to continue doing it, they can.

But in more exciting news, they do have a whole segment about remaking Pandora Directive. They’ll upscale the original tapes and re-create the game completely in a modern game engine, which seems to be UE4 engine, at least what I can tell from the images.
