Yes! Finally!

Looks like Lucasarts is finally shining towards adventure games again. Ready for some fine leather jackets?

LuigiHann · 02/22/2009, 09:20 am

Yeah that was a big surprise. It'll be interesting to see what kind of software they use to run it on the Wii HMMMMMMM and also if they'll make use of that engine again in the future.

Rather Dashing · 02/22/2009, 09:28 am

...It doesn't really matter. They aren't even confident enough to re-release it on its own, even in a big adventure compilation disc.

I mean, I guess it'll be nice that I won't have to hack my Wii to play at least one adventure game on it(ports don't count, and neither does Zack and Wiki).

I'll believe LucasArts is shining towards adventures again when they pick up some of their old licenses and actually do something NEW with them.

Armakuni · 02/22/2009, 09:31 am

Yeah I don't think it means much but it's still very cool! This is one case where the bonus game will be much better than the main one.

Doesn't matter? This could be a sign of things to come, by the way.

I would hope it's not a sign of things to come. Stuffing Adventures onto bigger games as an afterthought isn't exactly my idea of a "revival".

"I'll believe LucasArts is shining towards adventures again when they pick up some of their old licenses and actually do something NEW with them."

I did so specify LucasArts. =p

It's a start.

where as I was refering to the bolded text which quite clearly doesn't imply lucasarts in any way, form or matter.

Ah. Miscommunication, then.

...oh, I know what you're talking about. It's the pretty port. =p

As much as I'd hope it was, I don't think it's any more a "start" than releasing a "Best of LucasArts" adventure game compilation DVD-ROM. A start would be a small, new Adventure on the DS or...well, something other than plopping an old game onto something new. Y'know?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right. But there has been so little adventure game activity, at least its SOMETHING.

DaVince · 02/22/2009, 02:00 pm

How is introducing the cool classics to the younger public not a start? If it's liked widely enough it could motivate LucasArts (LucasGames?) to actually make something new... Who knows?

MussKatt · 02/22/2009, 02:02 pm

Lucasarts. I'm surprised they are releasing something beside star wars... bah

Like Rather Dashing said, its not much more motivation than releasing a complete disk of Lucasarts adventure games. Then again, it may motivate them. But remember, Lucasarts isn't making it, A2M is.

Rather Dashing · 02/22/2009, 05:49 pm

I *do* want to be wrong. And at least somebody acknowledges that these games exist. But....

It's LucasArts.

Remember, this is the company that had a NEARLY DONE Sam and Max game on their hands, and then dropped it because the new guys in charge said that these kinds of games "aren't feasible".

I mean...if we can't expect revival when we have an announced, advertised, and nearly-done adventure game....I don't want to get my hopes up over a passing nod. That's all.

natlinxz · 02/23/2009, 12:17 pm

In Nintendo power it said the new game had a feature that would "please oldschool gamers".
I immediately thought it was maniac mansion and monkey island.

But, I guess that is what video game companies are made to do: Disappoint gamers at all costs

What's wrong with Fate of Atlantis? Its a '90s point and click adventure made from the studio of Monkey Island.

Armakuni · 02/23/2009, 08:35 pm

Fate of Atlantis is one of Lucasarts very finest games.
