Spaff Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Relating to this news post on mixnmojo.com: LucasArts E3 Warm-up According to a recent LucasArts Insider e-mail, visitors to LucasArts.com this Friday will be treated to a first look at an image from an upcoming title. No other information was given. However, there was this small mystery image next to the announcement. What's also interesting is a graphic that was contained in the headline image of the e-mail. It appears to be Ben from Full Throttle with a Monkey Island monkey on his back. Let the speculation begin! What do we think the chances are of a sequel to Full Throttle? And what is the resemblance of the EMI monkey? another new Monkey Island Game too? Are LEC just using fun old images for their headers, after all to enter their offices you must walk beneath the bike of a giant Ben painting thing.... they may just be proud.... what is the mystery image? are we getting our hopes up? Give us your thoughts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocodilic Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Whoot Remember what Whats hisface said after the EMI chat..... VROOOOM VROOOOOOM. It will be nice to see a few new adventure games after the disapointing last year. But where is Loom2!? thats what i want to know. Personally id like to see some new faces rather then using old characters from MI, and FT again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adventurer Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 The EMI monkey lookes like it was ripped right out of the game, however Ben looks like his likeness has been retooled a smidge. Note how his face is a little bit taller and pointyer? That makes me thing "If Ben's had his art updated why? unless theres a new game in the works."

Gabez Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Wow! Wow wow wow. If this isn't Full Throttle 2 I'll eat my hat. (Nice having a mention of the forums, BTW!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaff Posted April 18, 2002 Author Share Posted April 18, 2002 we will of course demand video footage of the hat being devoured. but lets hope it wont come to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CalaveraCafe Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 maybe that smaller one... is part of a new shot of Ben.... With some kind of biker scarf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Full Throttle 2?! The #monkey-island community is in shock after seeing this! Ahem... Yes. Shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norimaki Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Wouldn't you agree that the looming Darth Vader in the back of the picture with Ben and the monkey is very unsettling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze^ Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Maybe my hopes are twisting my mind but the more I look at it the more I think it's likely that this is indeed the leg of guybrush with the scarf he wore around his waist in CMI hanging down on the side. However deep down I know that they wouldn't produce a another episode in the MI series so close to EMI so... // Blaze^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adventurer Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 I see a bit of an ear in the first pick. with a black jacket and a scarf. Its either Ben or another bicker. I garonty it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Maybe it's a flight jacket. Bikers don't wear scarfs, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumpizz Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 dunno how guybrush looked in CMI, drew this free from mind at least the cropped image does not seem to be 3d-generated... hooraay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 It depends on what kind of biker it is Well, Full Throttle 2. It was always a possibility. But the way LucasArts are going now it's more likely that it will be some kind of action game than an adventure. Remember the new Indy game? More exciting was the bit at the bottom of the email, that had news of a LucasArts beanie - now you can mosh in style, if that isn't a contradiction in terms. Nice pic mumpizz. Join my art team, and we'll sail the seven seas looking for cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze^ Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Good idea, that's what i figured mabbe minus the lasersabre and thermal detonator . Oh yeah this is what guybrush looked like in CMI. Think it could work quite good. And btw what we see is probably box-art or something like it so I wouldn't be surprised if it's still semi 3d.

Gabez Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 *Checks Junk Mail folder* Argh! I'd waited ages for the insider to come only to recently discover that Hotmail had put it in my junk mail folder! Damn you Bill Gates, damn yooooou! Anyway, that art is AMAZING, mumpizz I love the way you blended that image... it looks really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze^ Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Wouldn't it be cool with a cartoonish adventure game in 3d using cel-shading like XII? Oh well back to the speculation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Maybe putting the monkey behind Ben is a way of saying that Monkey Island will take a BACKSEAT to Full Throttle now? Geddit? BACKSEAT?! BWAHAHAHAHaHaha... ha... ha... Oh I am so hillarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocodilic Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 That FT thing with the monkey is just in the header, its not gonna be a sequel at all its just an advert for what has been. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 to me that small pic looks like a leg joint indeed like mumpizz pictured. (I thought of it before i saw his pic hehe, honest!) Actually i dont see a jedi in it, more of a roman knight you know like a gladiator. hence the recent name claim of Gladius earlier.. so what u see on the pic is part of an upperleft leg with a thigh cap like gladiators have..

Schmatz Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I think it could be another Outlaws game (yes that is scary). I mean, back in the cowboy doays in America, all the cowboys would wear a red scarf around their waist, signifying their social status as cowboys (so people knew not to f@ck with them). Or maybe it's Full Throttle II: Ben visits the Middle-East as you can see it looks like one of those things the Arabs wear (not turbins, those other things). As I said in the comments of the news on Mixnmojo, it could very well be HOWARD THE DUCK THE GAME. It looks somewhat like a duck foot to me...

Zaarin Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 It's probably LucasArts archive volume 6 or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wossname Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 To me it looks more like a scarf than a jacket, because you don't see it looping around the back, but the brown bit does look like a leg. It feels very reminiscent of something I've seen before. Some sort of cover art, but I can't quite place it. For some reason this brings to my mind Zak McKracken (Compare http://www.mobygames.com/game/covers/gameId,305/gameCoverId,2571/ - the region of end of the tie... ) Who else wears a scarf? Dr. Who is popping into my mind, but as cool as a Lucasarts adventure game of Dr. Who would be, I seriously doubt it. Of course there is the interesting possibility that it may be something completely new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaFox Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I hope it is a new Full Throttle game. Monkey Island in my opinion has been sequeled to death - and going back to the Kickstand could definately be a lot of fun. Not as much fun as a Grim Fandango 2, but I digress.
