There has been v-e-r-y little fuss made about the cancellation of Full Throttle 2 -

 

Does anyone know the story behind this action?

 

While I was not thrilled about Full Throttle 2 being a big 3-D Console-centric action game like everything else Lucasarts is churning out these days, I was looking forward to seeing it nonetheless...

 

It's a shame that 3-D technology hasn't come quite far enough to successfully implement an adventure game, but has advanced past beautiful 2-D cell-type animation... I would have much rather see Full Throttle 2 presented in the style of the Curse of Monkey Island. It would preserve the comic book/cartoon-esqe feel of the first game which was certainly cinematic and engaging.

 

If you're going to release a 3-D game, give it another 10 years for the the technology to evole into something worthy of passing on the legacy of these great games.

 

I just pray that the decisions which blocked the release of Full Throttle 2 will not bestow themselves on the upcoming release of Sam and Max. If that happens, there really is no reason to continue...

Yeah , I think they may have realised what most MI fans have been saying for years , that they shouldn't have made MI4 in 3d .

Who needs fancy 3d when you have bill tiller at the pencil ?

Although I enjoyed playing the game as a 3d game on its own , but when compared to the other MI games it just ruins a concept that works ... well my oppinion at least ... I hope LucasArts make more tradditional adventure games , like full throttle , dott and MI ... they really don't need to use 3d to atract audiences ... just look, there is a massive community surrounding LucasArts and it's games ... it's about time they realised that and looked at what most of us want . We don't need 3d to enjoy a game , as long as it has the trademark quality of the previous games .....
