Fealiks Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I can't imagine it being as exciting as the guy who tweeted about it made it seem, but let's hope it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven_Q45 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The Forge for example. Ok it´s an old IP but indirect a Loom successor. Or maybe Vanishing Act. A canceled/not released game and it´s no IP like, MI, SW or Indy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I hope it's not just re releasing the old games. Yeah, that would be a monumentally dull bit of news for fans (unless it included some way of running Grim Fandango with Nvidia 8 series videocards): 1. We already own all the games. 2. ScummVm. Time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Haha, Dave Grossman did express interest in Loom and did say on Facebook he knows where to find Brian Moriarity. But that would be Telltale news, so other than rereleases with or without new graphics or something Star Wars related, I have no idea. Please no Full Throttle 2. I somehow illegally have some Peter McConnell soundtrack stuff for cutscenes for that game that has the new guy doing the voice of Ben and it was just terrible.

Zak McKracken Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I think it's fairly obvious that it's a sequel to Loom and SE for Zak McKracken In all seriousness I think they are re-releasing all their old games and I couldn’t be more excited.

Fealiks Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 What the hell could it be other than re-releases? I can't even think of much else that would get people so excited. Apart from maybe REAL LIFE LIGHTSABERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy.brush Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Maybe they will do like a Buy-Vote? They make them all available as a direct download and the one that get's downloaded the most get's the SE treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fealiks Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Oh, that would be cool. I don't know, though - a lot of people wouldn't download games because they already have them rather than because they don't want a Special Edition. In fact, all of the people who want a Special Edition of MI2 probably already own it, so wouldn't want to get it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak McKracken Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Haha, Dave Grossman did express interest in Loom and did say on Facebook he knows where to find Brian Moriarity Can you show me to find this or provide a link. I scrolled through the Facebook wall and only found him saying look for a bigger answer below and I couldn't find it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Graffiti Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Please no Full Throttle 2.

Scapetti Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Maybe they are just announcing involvement with the Wii's Virtual Console. Zombies ate my Neighbors, Super Star Wars et cetera. If I'm right do I get cake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I'm kind of clumsy with facebook, so I don't know how to link you, but this is his quote from the Q&A; "Loom! I think I did say something like that; I certainly wouldn't mind reviving Loom in episodic format. It would be really good for our format - ahead of its time in many ways. And I do know where to find Brian. Don't read anything into this, though, I tell you flat out we are not currently working on it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would absolutely have to involve Brian. Maybe I should have attended the chat and asked Dave about bringing back a certain tabloid reporter and David Fox. I don't want a Zak sequel as much as other deserved games because it had a good ending but more Zak games in episode format would be great. There is so many ways they can take that game. The possibilities are endless. When I was a kid I wrote a sequel I wished I had saved it. I do remember it involved Loch Ness, Mary Celeste, Easter Island, Black Annie and a green crystal that allowed Zak to see future events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clone2727 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yeah... in a match of Ballblazer. Oh, or maybe it's the prequel to Ballblazer: Ballblaster! No! The sequel will be called Bluster Blaster - it's another TellTale tie-in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plamdi Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Haha, that's so funny because it's actually pretty much the way LucasArts used to treat the fan community. "Hey guys! You see that awesome-looking and totally harmless and not-for-profit project those guys are 99% complete on? We're closing it down!" I think it was Emma who pointed out, we're about the only community who have an abbreviation for it. You say 'C&D' in any other forum/IRC room and people have no idea what you mean. I have the scans of two of the magazines that reported that ... and I'll be uploading them both when I get around to creating a page on fan-related games and applications (such as ScummVM).

irishmile Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 My dream announcement would be Special Editions of key classic games such as MI2 and others.... As well as an all new Star Wars Adventure game. pick up light saber / turn on light saber / Use Light saber on locked door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Five Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 My dream announcement would be Special Editions of key classic games such as MI2 and others. LeChuck's Revenge is a certainty, either tomorrow or in the near future, it also gives them a chance to re-scan, clean up and use the original backdrops, which artistically fit very nicely between Monkey Island - Special Edition and Curse.

irishmile Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I hope you are right... But I do not dare to be as confident... I remember all too well the threat of the official announcement that LA would not make any new adventure games until at least 2015.... My little MI lovin heart died a little that day... Thank god LA decided to team up with TTG to give us a new one... while technically SoMI:SE is not really "new" So they may just stick to their no new adventure games til 2015.

Tower Five Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I always saw 2015 date that in jest, considering they were perhaps a little worn out from adventure games. I think they saw a technical demo or two and thought... ah there's avenues to go down and the impact and fan base for twenty (!) year old games is still there and very healthy. I wouldn't mind a reworked and user-friendly SCUMM creation engine as part of the announcement, but it would only dilute the canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
