The Tingler Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Also, based on how Obi-Wan turned out in the end, its probably the worst example to use for anything like this, really True, but there was quite a horrendous fan reaction to the news that it was going to be XBox-only, considering how it was hyped in all magazines as Dark Forces 3 before the real Jedi Knight II turned up. It had been looking rather promising - in much the same way as Bounty Hunter did and Battlefront & Republic Commando do now. The point about the fact that S&M2 has got the entire LucasArts Fan Community (soon to become Pre-2004 LucasArts Fan Community, or even earlier) up in arms has not been lost on me, though. It was only PC Star Wars FPS fans who got cross over Obi-Wan - myself included. With the benefit of hindsight, I'm rather glad it went. It even had a lousy cover! Obi-Wan was on the GBC not the ****box Where d'you get an idea like that? I severely doubt this is a marketing gimmick. We're the only ones who care, and we were going to buy it anyway.

JBRAA Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 This part of the Sam & Max 2 trailer certainly have a new meaning. "Why won't you just die?!"

The Tingler Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 This news at www.pczone.co.uk might be of interest. Nothing directly to do with Sam & Max, unfortunately... just the adventure genre. Classic PC point 'n' click adventure Beneath a Steel Sky has been plucked from the archives for a brand new instalment from UK developer Revolution, we can exclusively reveal. Revolution, best known for its highly respected and successful Broken Sword series, registered the url http://www.steel-sky2.com on March 4, 2004 (see here for details) and Revolution MD Charles Cecil today confirmed with us that pre-production on the title had indeed begun. Life in the old dog yet. If a simple developer such as Revolution can take a risk with a sequel to an ageing adventure, why can't a major developer/publisher like LucasArts go ahead with one?

Murray the Chao Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I HAVE Gameboy Color Obi-Wan and have ripped the soundtrack.(I also ripped a few tracks from GBA Jedi Power Battles) I sure hope we eventually do get Sam&Max 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Wasn't that called 'Obi-Wan's Adventures' or something like that? The game I'm referring to was an XBox launch title that was originally due on the PC, until LucasArts realised it was crap and knew they had to quickly through it onto a console.

Brushguy Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I sure hope we eventually do get Sam&Max 2. We will. Lucasarts will come out with an apology and put Sam and Max 2 back into production, and there will be an even larger upbringing than the one on March 3rd. More fans will send in "I'm sorry" e-mails than they did "I hate you" e-mails. WWHS will come out with a sincere apology and re-re-design their site. All the sites will apologize and rejoice. Everyone will buy Sam and Max 2 and love it. Lucasarts will look at the sales figures and realize what a stupid mistake they made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 No, they would look at what they did, and realize how they made Sam and Max 2 sell better than it would if they had just released it without all this hubbub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ BV Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 They will probably look at what they did and continue to produce generic Star Wars titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 We live in hope. With any luck, they're reconsidering their actions. We must continue to fight! This is a war... and we are soldiers! The Great Maxian War of 2004... LucasArts Vs Fans. They'll sing songs about this fight, trust me. Beginning with a round of "King of the Creatures". March 3, 2004. Remember that date. The day we fought back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushguy Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'm picturing the Monty Python sketch about Sir Robin's minstrels right now, singing songs about him. I bet Lucasarts already realizes that they've made a mistake - they might even want to put it back into production - but maybe they can't figure out how to say "It's back in production" without looking incredibly stupid. Think about it. No matter what, we will win this fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp-30 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 All they have to do is to say "due to unexpected overwhelming public pressure, we have decided to continue produduction", and also announce a console port for X-box to increase the potential market size.

Murray the Chao Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I just noticed something. Everything that LucasArts has produced lately and is producing is for the ****box. The only thing for something else(GCN)as of late was Rebel Strike(Which is quite good). This leads me to believe that Microsoft may have something to do with this. As we should all know, whatever Microsoft touches is corrupted. It appears that Microsoft's diseased grip has turned LucasArts to the Dark Side.

jp-30 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Umm. They have produced or are producing a number of titles for the PC and PS2 of late. PC Armed & Dangerous Secret Weapons Over Normandy Star Wars Battlefront Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Star Wars Republic Commando PS/2 Gladius Mercenaries Secret Weapons Over Normandy Star Wars Battlefront Wrath Unleashed X-box Armed & Dangerous Gladius Mercenaries Secret Weapons Over Normandy Star Wars Battlefront Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Star Wars Republic Commando Wrath Unleashed Gamescube Gladius Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike Wile it looks like LucasARts are abandoning the Cube, I don't see any way you can try and blame Microsoft for the cancellation of Sam & Max.

daltysmilth Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I forget which thread was originally talking about this, but I started a thread on the Lucasarts support forums that was indirectly pleading for Sam & Max.

daltysmilth Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 By the way, apparently the only person to reply to the thread so far is the director of the new Batman movie.Check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tingler Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Subtle. Maybe a bit too subtle - I don't think Mr. Nolan knew what you were hinting at. Somehow, I'm guessing its not the same one. I bet the director has a hell of a lot on his plate at the moment, worrying about resurrecting a screwed-up franchise that has the fans eyeing him dubiously, than helping people on the LucasArts support forum.

daltysmilth Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Somehow, I'm guessing its not the same one. I'm sure it's not. I was making a joke. Like how the Mike Nelson we all hate is definitely not the same Mike Nelson who hosted MST3K and wrote Death Rat! But still, if it was the same Christopher Nolan, how cool would that be? No, seriously, how cool would it be? A lot cool or a little cool? On the other hand, it could be that Mr. Nolan understood me perfectly and was trying to shut me down.
