tabacco Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Okay, so bright and early tomorrow morning I'm off to San Francisco to represent AG at Lucasarts' summer press day.

amishler Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Wow! Coffee! Oh, and games! Maybe they'll have a little bit of FT2 in the hands-on time. After all, it's supposedly only another 6 months or so before it comes out. I'm really curious to hear how the game plays, and what the atmosphere is like. I'd be more than willing to overlook the graphical, um, issues if it handles well and feels like a Full Throttle game oughta. And keep in mind that it does say tentative schedule. What would be really cool is if they scrap the whole agenda and Simon comes out wearing a cloak and carrying a copy of Sam and Max, saying, "Now witness the firepower of this fully operational video game!" Followed, of course, by the sensory sensation that is an entire press corps wetting itself. I dream big. And weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixor Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I'm really curious to hear if the new FT2 video will be considerably refined from the last one. Either way, have fun tab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabacco Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 Full Throttle II was cut from the demo schedule, so we didn't get to see anything from it. Alexis said they didn't feel it was ready to show off yet. A&D was cool, though. We got to see a new weapon: one that launches sharks that pop up from underground and eat the enemies, alá Jaws. Dan even said they were trying to get permission to include the Jaws theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only need to go through Lucas on to Spielberg. They're buddies and whatnot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
