Bobbin Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 I recently went to LucasArts.com and they have a whole bunch of new games for various platforms being / going to be released but none of them are adventure games. What is wrong with them?
Guybrush122 Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 adventure games arent exactly the hot new genre it was years ago......
Bobbin Posted December 6, 2001 Author Posted December 6, 2001 but there still is a huge audience for those types of games. Anyways LucasArts should make games for their fans despite the popularity of the genre the game is. It just depresses me how no companies are making adventure games anymore and that is my favorite genre that isn't even remotely challenged by any other but I'm still praying for a resurgence in poularity in the genre hopefully in the next few years when I'll have a computer to play them on.
Natty Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 Because- there's something called 'online games' meaning you can play games on the Internet
Metallus Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 Reminds me of the MI4 menu joke; the fake "Multiplayer mode" option. However, it's probably a possibility given the MI3 menu joke: "3D mode".
Guest Swoosh Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 No, the reason is $$$. If a game doesn't pay the bills, then why make it? Would you run a farm and sell pears when you could sell tangerines for a lot more?
El Pollo Diablo Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 Yes, online games do exist but there are only a small hand full with the connection required to play them. Any way research has shown that the numbers of online gamers is relitivly small.

I mean it would be cool and everything- but I dunno, could kinda ruin the game? Unless you get to choose which character you play the game from? I would kinda like to play a game from say Elaine's view or Stan's view, but especially Le Chuck's view
JR2000Z Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Multiplayer isn't the best reason to buy games. Especially with the new games, it would be hard for the 56K'ers to have any fun because of the lag.
Metallus Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Heh, I don't know how they'd make a multiplayer adventure game. It's a definite possibility though.
Monkey Mania Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Lucasarts hasn't announced anything yet, but a company ran by Justin Chin is making Sam n Max 2 for Xbox and maybe other consoles.
Metallus Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Yep, I'm one of the first to know if there's new new about the Sam and Max game coming out. I run Snuckey's, an up-and-coming Sam and Max site, so I'm really interested in Infinite Machine's (Justin Chin's company) new project.
Monkey Mania Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Yeah, its suppose to take place in outer space with a singing alien.
Metallus Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Yep, I think the whole free world has seen that concept art already . I'd like to see some more of the game now.
MtBlanc Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 No kidding. Give us info IM! For the love of God!!!
benjoyce Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 I would kinda like to play a game from say Elaine's view or Stan's view Yes me too, in Stan's view, maybe with comments like in Broken Sword II.You have given a wonderful Idea to lobby for.
jannar85 Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Anyway... I'm not buying a game - if it's not an adventure game!!! LucasArts should really make JUST adventure games to us!!! But if you are tired of waiting, then you can press this link (http://saturn.spaceports.com/~dosuser/linkw.jpg) and there is many good adventure games made with Adventure Game Studio. Check it out!
jannar85 Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 I meant this: http://saturn.spaceports.com/~dosuser/aclinks.htm
Fender Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Thank you Jannar85, I have finally found Slackers Quest once again!
