does anyone have that feeling that Ron is going to take a big Drift with adventure gaming , awkward mayhap but to be followed (longely) ?

So far, to me it seems like a return to the Maniac Mansion system (complete with three characters to choose out of seven).
He’s not drifting away from the core, he’s going towards it, imo.

I thought this would be about the release date (finally!):

PSN + Wii U on Jan 22 and XBLA + Steam on Jan 23

eventually that will be posted in few days

No more of a drift than Stacking was. He’s a game developer. He designs great games. He’s not the Jesus of Adventure Gaming, he’s the Da Vinci. His faith lies in creating great games not benefiting a genre.

Ron Gilbert has been shouting “IT’S NOT A PLATFORMER!!!” since Day One.

Still accusing the game of being a platformer is simply unfair!

I know. He would say that.

Still accusing the game of being a platformer is simply unfair!

I’d like to form my own opinion. And there’s no denying, NO DENYING!, that it looks like a platformer.

Ron Gilbert keeps stating that it’s not a platformer, and I’d be very surprised if he’s lying about it. However, show the trailer to a hundred people who’s never heard of the game, then ask them what genre they think it is, and I’d be equally surprised if even one of them answers that it’s an adventure game. Clearly, the visuals are that of a platformer, so it may be slightly unfair to say that the people who still thinks it’s a platformer are being unfair.

That being said, I think the game shows a lot of promise. Even though it uses platform-style graphics, it looks really good in my eyes and I’m very much looking forward to getting into it. Gilbert has never disappointed before (though I must admit I never bothered playing the humongous entertainment games), and I don’t think he will this time around either. I hope the game will be a success, and that we’ll see many new Ron Gilbert Adventures in the future.

That people actually believe that Sega and Double Fine would be slyly pretending that their platformer is actually an adventure game (down to having Steam correct their initial classification of “Adventure, Platformer” to just “Adventure”) shows how much the genre’s reputation has improved of late. (Or how utterly ridiculous some people can be. Your pick.)

Yeah, people who do not believe what Kuru believes are utterly ridiculous. Figures.

I don’t understand the necessity in being so quick to resort to negative personality adjectives either. Then again, I’m one of the “crazies”, remember?
