Replay Games wants “infringing” Kickstarter campaign taken down (update: Al Lowe’s okay with it)
Just wondering what the big difference is between the new Larry announced on Kickstarter and the VGA remake a while back?
Noticed on the Kickstarter video they showed no clips of that version - which still stands up ok today graphics wise
Elsewhere, though, he explained that he had a one game license and that he was being given that license on a sort of “trial basis” for a remake only, and that Vivendi wanted to see how they did before committing to allow them to make more.

The VGA remake was more of a straight adaptation of the original for a point and click interface, with the same puzzles, locations, dialog, etc, largely unchanged.
The new one is a more liberal remake and will have new areas, rewritten dialog, new/changed puzzles, and a new girl with her own subplot. I think it’ll still follow the same basic outline, but it’s a looser remake, with a mind toward polishing up some of what Al didn’t like about the original.

Oh, ok, that’s interesting to know then.
...and that Vivendi wanted to see how they did before committing to allow them to make more.
Just a minor correction here, Vivendi doesn’t own the LSL IP any longer, they sold it off completely to the independent studio Codemasters, which is where Replay is currently licencing the rights from.

Yeah, I know this. Vivendi Games doesn’t even exist anymore. I’m just sleepy.
I remember at the time being kind of offended that the guys making Box Office Bust would be so tentative about handing over the rights to the series as if they needed to see if they could meet the high standard codemasters achieved. But now I kind of get it, this guy’s a little iffy.
stepurhan for starters how can speculation be positive in a topic like this?
Which was the point I was trying to make, and why we have asked that the speculation stop.

I’m hoping to find name for game that I played long ago
The people here so well-informed, someone is sure to know
A time machine, grandfather clock, I give it to myself
Oh never mind, the box is sitting there upon my shelf
For real retro gaming nerds, name that game.
