The Adventurer Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 "The free wheeling action-adventure will offer a humorous original story, furious bare knuckle fighting, and the thrill of high speed biking." This part makes me worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirPsycho Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 Well, actually, on the first game's box cover was written the following text: "BLOW YOUR MIND with butt-kicking graphics, brutal puzzles, and a head-on collision of action and adventure!" Besides, it was declared as action-adventure not once and not twice - so I hope that the sequel will be at least as "adventureuos" as the first game. I'm so excited!

Remi Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 My bet is that it'll be cel-shaded, which would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGH Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hmm, actually Ben DOES look kinda 3D on this banner, doesn't he? But anyway, I don't care if this game will be 3D or 2D, I'm glad to revisit the World of Full Throttle! And I'm glad they somehow did remember the graphic style of the original... As you said, the clouds look great again ;-) cu, LGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShapeShifter Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Are there any screenshots available? Allthough I really want this game to be good, I just can't help worrying. After the last (and the forthcoming, for that sake) Indiana Jones game, where adventure was changed with action-adventure, I kind of lost my beliefs in Lucasarts as an adventure game developer. Tim Schafer, the creator and mastermind behind Full Throttle (among others), has left the company and started up Double Fine Production (which is in the Microsoft Stall now), and with him, I guess the last of the Lucasarts adventure game pioneers is gone. Lucasarts has let the Star Wars fever get to its head, so the Full Throttle 2 announcement was a nice suprise. Will it work? That is for the future to show. Will it be as good as its prequel? Sadly, I doubt it. BTW, has anyone noticed that since Grim Fandango, Lucasarts has only released sequels for the adventure genre? Seems like the good ideas is a blast from the past... Bring me back point 'n click, and I'll love you to death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kavefish Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 A new LucasArts adventure is always good news, I just hope they bring back the mouse and 2d graphics, but the chances are slim that they do... Full Throttle was (and still is) one of my favourite games, and I hope this game can capture the same "feel" as FT, both visually and playability.

Swoosh Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hey guys, ChrisC3po and I are down here at e3 and got a chance to check out the video trailer of Full Throttle 2. It IS 3d, not cell-shaded and the artistic style is very much like that of the original. It looks like we won't be dissappointed with the graphics of it, it looked very beautiful. Basically the trailer showed Ben rolling around on his bike and some bar fights at the Kickstand. It looked very cool! Anyways, we'll come back with more info tonight, I need to go get my pass to get into e3 today, so be sure to check back later today.

RaptorII Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 *sigh* I don't know... as much as I dreamed of a sequel... this depresses me. I guess untill we know more... PUBLICLY, then I will worry. I seriously doubt that the spirit of the adventure will be kept, and instead we will get adventures akin to that of any FPS/Action game made in the last 3 years. Where they really aren't logic puzzles, but it is a sub-quest of the main goal. Personally, I would like to hear that it is "2D" (AND MOUSE DRIVEN) in normal circumstances, but when driving or what not, it will go to a 3D mode, first or third person, or an option, I wouldn't mind... but at least that way it would keep the interactive spirit of Full Throttle. Instead, I see something more akin to a 3rd person shooter combined with talking to people, and driving the "Ben-Bike." Or perhaps another "good" way of doing things would be similar to Gabriel Knight 3, where it is always 3D, with a cursor interface, point and walk setup, however, with FT2, I wouldn't mind a static camera in these 3D rooms, I really wouldn't care, what ever makes it work better. I know in my heart though that at best, the only place we will see a cursor is in the menus... if we are lucky. I don't know... maybe I am alone on this... maybe I am just bored because I don't have a 2nd period, and this is one place I can go that isn't blocked... (yet.) But being someone who got FT when it was new, so I see my self as a customer, and this is what I would like, and NOT like to see. But by this time, the design is probably set pretty much in stone, and unlike Blizzard, not many companies allow for large revamps on projects... if they could even afford it. Oh well. Here is to the Diaper Dynamo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fook_yu Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I'm so happy yo have a sequel !!! Do you know when full throttle will be in abandonware? ..... I hope great graphic, music and difficult enigma... also a long play time and a godd story line Now I just dream about about Grim Fandango2!!! a & sequel would be really nice too! why? because lucas arts is the best develloper of adventure game! don't always stay with SW (jedi knight is amazing)... change a bit.... adventure game are so great!

els.DarkLord Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Full Throttle actually *never* will be 'abandonware'. Nor are any of the 'older' LucasArts/Lucasfilm titles. I'd suggest just to watch out on ebay or some compilation, they are really cheap. And for the Adventures. I really agree, real sequals to all of these games would 'rule', but I guess it's not gonna happen. If there are any sequals (as with FT2) those games might be Action-Adventures . As I see today classic/real Adventure Gaming is officially dead at LucasArts. This is sad, because the Adventures were the stuff that made me LOVE this company... well I still do (that is cause I'm a big Sat Wars Fan myself ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fook_yu Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I agree with you. True adventure game is almost desapear the one who stay up to date is adventure like myst ou schizm.... I like them less than the one where you see your "perso"... "3rd" aventure game is, very often, lot funny (day of the tentacle, GF, FT, "chevalier de baphomet" etc...) it have more charisma.. also they are funnier to play (GF is the greatest game I ever played with Counter-Strike!) sadly, I will surely, never see a sequel to, at least!, grim fandango!! I said surely because we never think about a sequel to FT! so maybe in 3 years..... I only hope LA will read all the posts we made under this topics.... the only point-and-click adventure game staying is the longest journey, and syberia..... 2 almost perfect game! so why don't makes more adventure game? If i could, i would start my own compagnie and make almost only adventure game of all kind! :rolleyes:who wanna join me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 It will be cool to see Ben again(I smell a chance to go back and put FT1 into game packet as well, BUT patched up with DirectX support so we can play it in Windows)! Earlier game only introduced us all the characters, places and some technology(it seemed to happen somewhere in near future), but if LEC plays their cards well, they will give us much wider view of the world this time and really take full use of that familiar imagery. Unlike some of you, I'm not too worried if FT2 turns out to be 3D. If you think about earlier game, it had all those highway fights/puzzles, driving and movie like visual representation that I feel it wouldn't differ too much from original style. Of course mouse controls would be gone, but in visually it could easily be very similar, even though much more enhanced. Hopefully they will hire same actors to do voiceovers(Roy Conrad as Ben), because they were topnotch. Also, The Gone Jackal's music played a big part creating the right mood for the game, so I wish they'll be willing to compose new songs for this one; if not they, then hopefully some other band very reminiscent of them.

BooJaka14m Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I think The Gone Jackals have already said that they wouldn't record for a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeddlingMonk Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Originally posted by Lord_FinnSon Unlike some of you, I'm not too worried if FT2 turns out to be 3D. E3 Trailer FT2 is 3D. And although the trailer appears to be cutscene material, it looks like gameplay will be very simlilar to the original (down to Ben kicking a door in ). But what a lot of people don't seem to be aware of is that the original is itself partly 3D. All the vehicles are low-res 3D models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
