Lucas Arts have given us Pirates, Voodoo, Mexican Culture, Film Noir, Time Travel, Mythical Cities, Madcap detectives, Space Exploration, Stubble-face bikers and even strange weird tribal people with sticks.

 

What next?

 

Personally, I want to see some vampires. A trip to Egypt would be fun too. With mummified corpses that somehow come to life. There's also a lot of exploration to be done underseas too.

 

Discuss.

Heh if you look at those themes from the point of view of traditional platform game levels, theyve got most of em covered.

So yes, egyptian, water and ice levels are all thats missing, games themed around them in some way.

Well Indiana Jones and The Infernal Machine had levels based on ice, water and Egypt. Furthermore that RTX game’s gonna be pretty futuristic.

Failing that, a western could have potential.

 

 

Outlaws. Yes there should be an Outlaws 2.

 

Then there's the Age of Knights that's maybe interesting for LEC to explore

Bleh. There are billions of possibilites, Vikings, Romans, Witchcraft, Australians, Robots, Biblical people. All have yet to feature in there very own LucasArts adventure game. As long as they don't feature any of those filthy neutrals. I mean, with enemies, you know where you stand, but with neutrals - who knows?

Have any of you even played Zak McKracken??

 

A theme that the LEC do desperately need to cover is magic! Loom was great, they came up with a whole magical theory and everything, and they could so easily do it again.

I personally found Egypt very boring for an aventure game, all that sand and pyramids.

 

I would like a sureal adventure game... something like

A game really weird... that doesnt make a lot of sense at first sight. Maybe Psychonauts is what I should get.

Wow! Now that is a truly inspired idea! Imagine it... nothing is what it seems... question everything... the game would be so visual and amzing. I wanna see a game straight out of Dali or Bosch or something!!

Yeah, western... that'll be great. But not a 3D-shooter like "Outlaws", or an action-"adventure" like "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine". I WANT AN ADVENTURE... the only one I can think of right now is "Freddy Pharkas".

Why the hell beard... eh, not?

 

I always thought a marriage between the two great assets of LucasArts would be great. Star Wars and (point & click preferably) adventure. This way both the LEC suits and the LEC fan community could have a game they want. It could also introduce the Star Wars fans who have been served with "low-brow" action games mainly to the genre of adventures.

SW + point n click hehe an interesting idea. Though the sci fi genre is really boring i find... theres only so much SW, xfiles and star trek you can take before it all looks and sounds the same.

Well, that may be so, but the visuals are stunning and the stories may surpass the usual Star Trek episode. I for one love The Dig and think it was able to stand on its own. That is, at the time of its release. Nowadays you've got loads of Armageddons and the like, so the story isn't so unique anymore.

 

Get some very talented writers (Joss Whedon and his crew), some good puzzle designers and some artists and you can easily make a SW adventure that's better than Monkey Island 2. I put this remark in to get some bashing and maybe a little heat into the discussion.

Right, a Star Wars point-n-click would be IT... that's why I am looking forward to "Knights of the Old Republic" big time... it's not a pure adventure, but it's the closest to a Star Wars adventure game coming up at the horizon.
