No new postsLSL: Reloaded
I know nothing about game development in Israel, but I think it would be helpful to be able visit the developers in person occasionally, at least during the first time working with them. It’s one thing to just outsource backgrounds or some animation, but in this case it would have been the whole game.
I think this projects been a success, really. I just hope it sells well beyond the KS backers! I’m interested to see how that does.

Word.

Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.
Here’s a screenshot of an email I got from Amazon recommending I take a look at the new LSL game. Check out the first of the list of recommended titles. No, that is not a cheap-looking paint-by-numbers children’s coloring book being advertised with pixelated art and a logo which can’t be read; that’s the new Larry Reloaded game! It pains me to see them use art which doesn’t reflect the quality of the game. I want this game to do very well, and that art isn’t helping.
don’t ask why .. but i believe Paul Trowe (the beta tester) can hold any better for People like Al , lets just hope he wont affect the marketing of Reloaded so bad.
i have nothing against him he is enthusiastic and young (still) but i have noticed many times how he cries out to get the same attention as Al does ...and that is not healthy !
Auch! That looks really painful to watch! And… “Action games”? Next to “Thief”? Weird…
Is that Preview
full of shit or what! .. some people need to understand something if you dont like a game do not preview it and try sound fair .

I don’t think the “reviewer” finished the game. I also expected worse after seeing your post. Still, I agree the preview wasn’t well done, though it was pretty positive about the game. When I saw the dumb “‘misogynistic” description, I thought, “oh, here we go…” But the preview didn’t bash the game. Spent too much time on the questions, though. Nothing in the preview told me the author played for more than 30 minutes. He also got his facts wrong about the 1987 game’s interface and MI 1:SE’s interface. The author seemed to want to come off as witty and cool.
One thing that can’t be denied about this game (and that the author had no choice but to mention) is that the writing is very funny and well-done. Josh Mandel is the man.

You have a way with words. I love reading your comments. “Paul Trowe, the beta tester.” That just sounds funny. He’s also now the CEO of Replay, of course. Trowe probably has many talents, but I don’t think he should be writing the updates. In writing he comes across as very immature. His “guys, pleazzze don’t hate me!! I know I am going to get more hate mail over this” update was followed by many comments saying, essentially, “Paul, it’s so terrible you get hate mail. Don’t worry, Paul, we understand!” His latest update felt kind of…. manipulative? But maybe all those comments prove his style works? Just my thoughts. I could be way off. Still, I would prefer a more mature tone. Al and Josh are much better with the updates.
I think Trowe tends to paint a picture of himself as a misunderstood martyr. He’s simply just not very good spokesperson and often comes out as a bit whiny. I think after LSL:R is out, he should just be a silent CEO and leave the publicity for other people.
He must have other talents, as he did manage to not only get remake rights, but also Josh, Al and N-Fusion on board as well.
Trowe is a passionate guy, I believe his heart is in the right place, and surely he’s a big part of the reason why we’re being so fortunate as to experience Larry’s revival, but (and I don’t like saying this) he doesn’t have that charm and charisma that both Al and Josh possesses. I agree, he’d be better off letting Josh and Al do the updates, but to make that decision, he’d have to admit to some personal weaknesses, and that may be tough to do.

I haven’t really been following LSL now and I didn’t even pledge for (I would have if my wallet hadn’t been so empty at that point) but for some reason now I’m actually anticipating this 
. I guess my inner little perv has risen her head.

I like to visit that site actually from time to time (neat and fast design, and they seem okayish towards adventure in their reviews - they’ve just given 9 to The Night of the Rabbit), but I agree the preview is nothing spectacular, though I’ve seen much worse. I don’t know what exactly is bothering you (you’re bigger expert than me when it comes to the original Larrys, I’ve played only Larry 7) but I think it’s an OK average informative preview.

Pretty sweet tunes.
i cant wait to play “lecture sub lacey: beloabed”
but I agree the preview is nothing spectacular, though I’ve seen much worse. I don’t know what exactly is bothering you (you’re bigger expert than me when it comes to the original Larrys, I’ve played only Larry 7) but I think it’s an OK average informative preview.
i guess (as i am cooler now) that the previewer is trying hard to be fair (sounds good? you think… NO not at all!) when he doesn’t like(even hate maybe) the game and that quite obvious at several all things he wrote.
Notice: all the italic text between two apostrophes are quoted from the preview exactly .
1 as Quest1 mentioned Larry was never “misogynistic” .
2.‘controls to be similar as in 1987 as it was text based commands back then!’??? (crap he didn’t even have his homework done before writing the preview!
3. warning women with saying ‘If you’re a woman, please don’t read any further’ its the most dumb thing i had EVER read in a (p)review and i can say(imagine) anything more dumb not even in a 100 years to come…
4 ‘Started in April 2012, the publisher Replay asked for $500,000 dollars and got $655,182. Not an epic amount by Double Fine standards’ WTF! are he previewing the kickstarter, is that an article in case i didn’t notice or its just his stupid remarks suggesting how LSL:Reloaded is unworthy of its kickstarter goal that had been achieved (yes he didn’t say that out loud but i think have a gift of reading between the lines words.
5. also as quest mentioned ‘Nothing in the preview told me the author played for more than 30 minutes’!!!!.
6 ‘disappointing that it’s not a brand new outing for Larry, but Lowe has stated that Reloaded will be “more than just a remake”. Let’s see if he was telling the truth’ this guy needs to find a new job seriously .
7. ‘played the original when he was 5’! who are you fooling?
8.’The whole thing is narrated for some reason, probably because 25 years ago words had to explain what the graphics couldn’t’ can anyone comment on this one instead of me .. i do not wanna be banned of this site.
9.Age Confirming Questions are bothering him so much ... how pity!
10. he keeps saying 25 years about the time between the original(1986) and reloaded (2013)?!! woow that guys is something .
11. ‘I’m not sure if the narrator works to be honest, but adds so much unnecessarily hilarious detail and makes even knocking on a door or paying a taxi driver funny’ and again he fails to pretend to pretend fairness!
12.‘will be out on PC, Mac and iOS devices (not that we care about that last lot here at Strategy Informer)’ woow who states something like this when he can even better bypass it ,he needs a doctor urgently even before finding a new job ...
