glottis42 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 The last two years Lucasarts has been announcing their up and coming cames in April. Chances are this occur again this year. Also Simon Jeffrey said the the company was going to be doing about a 50-50 split on SW and other games. Hopefully we'll see a sequel to an old classic and hopefully a new adventure franchise.

Schmatz Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Where have you been? Sam and Max 2 is coming out! There's a classic sequel!!! Too many Star Wars games though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glottis42 Posted December 9, 2001 Author Share Posted December 9, 2001 i know, but thats not Lucasarts and its going to be action/adventure which i think is a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 *shrug*I gotta see it and play it before I judge anything... just please don't be Sam and Max: Tomb Raider.... PLEASE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2000Z Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Hopefully it wont be in the Grim Fandango engine. For once, let it be a 2D game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Seeing that it's a next-gen console game, I'm guessing it'll be 3d with cel-shading. The cel-shading could make it look really sweet actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbin Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 He game better come to PC as well because X-Box sucks and I'm don't want to have to buy an X-Box to play the new game if its any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2000Z Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I have a feeling that its going to suck. It may have the same lame jokes as EMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 "It may have the same lame jokes as EMI." Are you talking about the new Sam & Max when you say that? I don't think thats possible at all since nobody who worked on EMI will be working on Sam & Max... since the new Sam & Max title is being made by Infinite Machine (the company made up initially from the original Jedi Knight team), and has nothing to do with LucasArts. Also who knows what console the new Sam & Max will be for? Their website only says "Next Gen Consoles," so that means whoever agrees to publish their game will chose what system they write it for. That hasn't been announced yet, so lets all hope for PC and Gamecube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telarium Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Doesn't the Gamecube have great support for cell shading? Or toon shading, as it may be called? If that's the case, they should go with Gamecube. And then PC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheaday6 Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 actually, Infinite Machine (the company developing it) has been making games for primarily Xbox, which doesn't bode well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, they should go with Gamecube. And then PC! GameCube does indeed have very good cel shading support, and so does the XBox. "Cel Damage" is a great example of how good it can look. It'd be sorta, kinda un-realistic to expect it on the PC if they were to use that, as I believe you'd need a top of the line video card to do the same quality as the next-gen consoles.

Lemon Head Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 steve purcell will be working on it too tho so i think the humour factor is reasonably safe as long as they dont give max a pair of boobs and a ponytail that he could use to wipe his arse with - actually that would be pretty funny, disturbing, but funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaNaTiC Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Originally posted by scabb ...Sam & Max 2 is not a Lucas Arts Title though...It probably wont even be an adventure game It has to be an adventure game. The only other type of games that Sam and Max could be in would be........ either a lame racing game (which there arent even enough "regular" characters for anyway) and like a shooting game! haha... i HIGHLY doubt that Sam and Max will just be walking around shooting aliens (or earth people) for no reason what so ever.

Lemon Head Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 but Fanatic, it could also be an action/adventure which is not only very different from an adventure but also what it's going to be - and that leaves a lot of scope for an unfortunate tomb raider clone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaNaTiC Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 true.... didnt think of that.......... *shudder* thats a very scary thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Originally posted by Lemon Head and that leaves a lot of scope for an unfortunate tomb raider clone That's what I said! Also, if it comes out for XBox, Infinite Machines might just realize that they aren't seeling ANY of the ir games, because everyone HATES Xbox. Even if it comes out on XBox first, I'm sure it will be ported. It better be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Head Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 yeah i'm afraid lots of people love the x-box, and i personally bear it a grudge no larger than i maintain for all consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a company as small as I-M you make the game for whatever system someone offers to pay for it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
