Syberia III
Nicolas Cage should play Oscar.
Nicolas Cage has given some pretty damn good performances in his time (Adaptation, Matchstick Men, Raising Arizona). The flack he gets from some quarters is not entirely founded, IMO.
And please don’t show me a youtube clip. I’ve seen them. 
Point is, there are much worse actors than Cage around. 
Cage’s been taking on terrible roles and scripts for the past few years due to tax problems. Apparently his accountant screwed him up big time and now he’s paying the price….. literally.

Just wanted to say that Nic Cage is actually a pretty good actor. It’s not because he often picks crap films to star in that his acting is bad…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Cage is great, but man Ghostrider really killed it for me. WHY NIC!?!?!

He’s better off playing sideshow bob.

I didn’t anticipate that much Nic Cage discussion. :p
How serious are they about a Syberia movie? Or was the poll just for fun?
Any news on when the Syberia III kickstarter might launch? I hope they wait until April/May. Many wallets will need recovery from the current blitz (Asylum, Dreamfall, Mage’s Initiation, etc.).

Ick… Too much Lara Croft, too little Kate Walker…

I believe the picture of Kate is the pre art work from Syberia II
Don’t Hate Me Because I Am Beautiful…There Are Many Other Reasons
So when we pick up with Kate Walker in Syberia III, is she going to be some kind of hunter-gatherer living in the wild? 
Let me make a bold statement: I am not convinced that Syberia III as a good idea.
I love Benoît Sokal’s style and storytelling, and i would really like to see him make another game, but i would prefer if he made an entirely new game.
The story in Syberia was pretty much concluded at the end of Synberia II, and any loose ends, like how she gets home, is something that i think is better left to our imagination. Somethings is better left untold.
And lets face it Kate Walker is not exactly like Indiana Jones, where you can just send Indiana on a new quest to retrieve some new ancient artifact, that could destroy the world if it falls into the wrong hands. It is not like you can just send Kate on a new journey to find some other (metaphorical) mammoths.
Also when playing Syberia i very much got the feeling that Kate Walker was on a journey of a life time, but the very nature of “a journey of a life time” is that it is not something that can be repeated.
I fear that another Syberia story would only subtract from the first 2, and not add anything to the story. And to me it feels like they are just trying to cash in on a previous success!
I might be wrong of course, in fact i hope i am wrong. But we really won’t know until the game is made, or at least we know more about the game.

I couldn’t agree more.
I always thought Syberia 2 was just the tip of the iceburg. The game is called ‘Syberia’ and not ‘Land ho! What do you see?’ ‘I see a coastline’ ‘Ok good, lets go home. Thats all we care to see of the island’.
Seriously, there is so much to explore of Syberia.

I agree too. But what’s truly required here for Syberia to go on is a unique or brilliant idea. A twist perhaps. Something that would make it worth revisiting Kate as a character. Like a completely different journey in her life. I don’t know, something as captivating and poetic as the original game was. Easier said than done, obviously, but I remain enthusiastic regardless.
Now I just wish they would quit with the drawings of Kate posing as Lara Croft’s sidekick.
