mercatfat Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 This is good. Hopefully, it won't be Sam and Max in Space.
Metallus Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 According to the Spaffzor it's going to be totally different from the IM project.
mercatfat Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Spaff knew about this all the time and never said anything? blech.
Longjocks Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I haven't visited this part of the LucasForums before, but after I saw the announcement today I just had to come in and say something... WOOHOOOOOO!!!
Feral Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 The new game should seriously own...I expect to see this forum surpass the post count at EscapeMI in the near future. I'd get out the champagne, but those corks are dangerous...you know how it is.
Metallus Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Man, this community has been basically around 10 people keeping it together since like 1997. Even moving it to Lucasforums was a big adjustment for the old regulars. I'd like to see this community grow, but I hope the oldbies would be able to deal with it.
JackTheGaffer Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Does any one know how involed Purcell is going to be? Mabie this is why he was not at Comic-Con.
Feral Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Yeah, Met, EscapeMI was like this; about 15 regulars (Myself, El Pollo Diablo, Monkey_Girl, Guybrush112, Leshmuck (AKA Niko)) just posted, and them a huge onslaught came with Natty and newfoundgloryboy. You get used to it, though.
ElusiveSpoon Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 This calls for running around the room at self-endangering speeds while making a high pitched squealing noise. Now if that guy on eBay would finally send me my copy of Surfin' the Highway, I'd be in Samenmaxtopia.
Jake Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Originally posted by mercatfat This is good. Hopefully, it won't be Sam and Max in Space. Have you read Bad Day on the Moon? It's good, its funny. Sam & Max works just fine in space. Green Mama's is really funny, and jokes of that style never appear in computer games. I doubt the whole game would have been set in space anyway, but whatever. Wait no, you're right Merc. They should go to the carnival for the third or fourth time.
SyntheticGerbil Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 I think most of the story was just hashes of the leaked information. But Steve must be on this right? Someone just bought rights... I always thought Steve owned the rights after LucasArts.
mercatfat Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Let me clarify that statement. 'Sam and Max in Space' was my unofficial name for Infinate Machine's version (hence why 'space' was capitalized), and given their track record with action games (New Legends, blah), I was hoping that Lucasarts wasn't just finishing up their game. Since they're not, my previous comment is rendered completely invalid. It could work just fine in space, as long as space retains the same run-down/campy (You know what I'm talking about, even though I can't find the words to express it) feeling in the settings that I loved about the comic series and game.
JBlink Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 Lucas Arts I love you. You even decided to make it for the pc. I knew that Xbox would never get a good game.
mercatfat Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 Jet Set radio Future= good. Panzer Dragoon Orta= great. Halo= overrated, but good. Psychonauts= excellent. Buffy=fun. Dead to Rights= very, very fun. Realizing you've just been owned by common sense= suck. Then again, maybe you're one of those goddamn purists who hate action of any kind, I.E. "What's the code to beat guys in the Motorcycle duels?" "The action in Sam and Max was great since you could skip it." In that case, you suck.
Metallus Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 It's obvious that these purists are true Sam and Max fans. That's why I haven't seen them at all on these forums until after the latest announcement. With the exception of JBlink, of course.
SyntheticGerbil Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 Why can't they bring the new Oddworld to computer so I don't have to wait until X-Box is run down at a 50 dollar price range? I'm not too much for expensive equipment.
Sanspoof Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 I bet people are going to think of me as a liker of other games more than I like Sam and Max, seeing as my name is Sanspoof from Grim Fandango and my (current) avatar is of Purple Tentacle. But I do like Sam and Max a lot, and I'm definitely etting 2 when it comes out. Please don't think of me as a person who enjoys other Lucasarts games to Sam and Max. And yes, this is my first time on the S&M forums. That's a bit of a downer too. Say, has this got anything to do with this thread? Ah, never mind.
Feral Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 Hey, that's OK. My name is obviously from Monkey Island (3), but I'm here. We're all Lucasfans here, mate. Ah, crap, I need to stay on topic... Seriously, though, it's gratifying to hear that S&M2 will be made by LucasArts; I was worried about the direction the game was heading in before, but not now.
JBlink Posted September 4, 2002 Posted September 4, 2002 In my defence(which there isnt much of) I posted months ago and then realized I had nothing to say. With only depressing news on the game, I just read and didnt respond. Now thats a true member.
