Talk about wasted audience.

I’m not so sure. Something tells me that anyone who feels inclined to visit a LSL Reloaded forum wouldn’t be entirely disinterested in kitchen renovations.

Nobody wants LSL game anymore.

I think they made a movie about that once.

Two, actually.

Kitchen renovations sound like an interesting subject. We only get to WATCH FREE MOVIES ONLINE HD!!! in here

It’s sad; I would have liked to have seen a remake of LSL2… out of all of the Leisure Suit Larry games, I think this one could have been the most fun to remake.  I just feel bad it ended up where it is now - the whole revival and Kickstarter for LSL.

it seems that spammers have settled down in Replay Games forums, and feeling very comfy.

That’s what happens when you fire all your moderators…

Yes, the biggest reason I funded the LSL kickstarter was in the hope of a remake of LSL2. In my mind LSL1 didn’t need a remake, the last remake was already more than good enough. But LSL2 had a lot of potential but a lot of things that needed fixing.

So true, that happens when you do business with crazy people.

I think we’ll see a LSL2 remake eventually. Personally I would prefer it in the retro Sierra style (circa PQ3) than with the visual sheen that Reloaded had, but that wouldn’t sell would it?

I’m still not sure about the Larry voice. I would even support a completely new voice, moving away from the whiny caricature we’ve come to know.

I feel the tone of Reloaded was wrongly interpreting the original, but I know I’m virtually alone in thinking the first 3 games had an overall more serious & melancholic vibe to them.

Let’s face it, any LSL2 remake is going to be changing more than a few things (removing dead ends will be a major task) so might as well take some risks.

As far as I know, Replay never actually got the rights to Larry in full like they’d hoped they could. I imagine they won’t be doing anything further with Larry. Maybe someone else will try at some point.

I loved Josh’s rewritten script for Reloaded, and I liked the game overall, but I also would have liked to have seen a looser interpretation that wasn’t as married to the original’s layout and puzzles. I can’t say I was disappointed with the game itself, but I would have liked to see it as a new start and not just a one-off.
