Re:
I'm not really following the latest developments anymore. But I'll probably check out the Doom 3 expansion when that comes out (in a few days, I think).

Still waiting for Sam & Max: Freelance Police. Not to mention Monkey Island 5, or a worthy point-and-click sequel to Full Throttle...
From Team17, the "most awaited" award probably goes to Alien Breed 2004 and SuperFrog 2.
In other news, Team17 releases Alien Breed 3D II source code on Aminet; porting ensues.
Nah, it's all dreams.

Please don't feed the grues.
I believe another company (made of ex Lucasarts employees) bought the rights to it. I'm not sure, but Lucasarts confirmed that they bought the rights to a game that was a point 'n' click, and starred "Animals from a previous game you are all familiar with" or some such. So everyone assumed the previous game was Sam & Max Hit the Road.xpresschok wrote:Still waiting for Sam & Max: Freelance Police.

I think you'll find that the company you're thinking of would be "Bad Brain" who had nothing to do with the original development team. They reportedly tried to buy the license but according to them the deal fell through at the last moment (while many disgruntled fans suspect it was just a ploy to pull attention to their other projects). The original development team reappeared as Telltale Games, and they have expressed an interest in their second adventure title being the very Sam & Max they left unfinished at LucasArts, but they have yet to show that they are in negotations for the rights. However, LucasArts rights to the characters have expired or is about to expire shortly, which leaves it up to cartoon creator Steve Purcell to decide who gets the rights next.Alex wrote:I believe another company (made of ex Lucasarts employees) bought the rights to it.

I'm not really looking forward to any upcoming PC Games, since I'm more of a Console Gamer.

The only thing I can think of is Worms 4: Mayhem, and that up-coming Alien Breed title they're toating about that isn't AB2K4. Oh, and that other sequel they're working on.

No, I was on about Telltale Games - My mistake was that I thought they had gone further than just expressing an interest in Sam & Max. Cheers for clearing it up though.xpresschok wrote: I think you'll find that the company you're thinking of would be "Bad Brain" who had nothing to do with the original development team.

To be perfectly frank, I'd get Dungeon Lords. Not that I *will* get it, I don't have the money. But it looks the more original of the titles in my opinion.

The only game I'm looking forward to is, of course, Worms4 Mayhem. This game will rock.

Indeed it will, which is why I'll be ordering it from Team17's shop. Am too lazy to fully await the official release date for North AmericaKennyTornado wrote:The only game I'm looking forward to is, of course, Worms4 Mayhem. This game will rock.
EDIT: Now I'm looking forward to Myst V: End of Ages and still Worms 4: Mayhem

Sorry this is an old topic. Just wanted to express my opinion here. Full Throttle is by far my favorite PC game. Just pure class from start to finish. Wish Lucasarts would get into gear and release more quality graphic adventures. Dunno bout anyone else but I'd much rather play a new FT, Sam & Max, Monkey Island (not like the 4th though) or anything of that quality. Can't stand flashy PC games like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3, I'd rather spend my time using the ScummVM program and play some well written, humorous adventures. Which is odd since I love non-stop action usually.

Re: PC Games
To be honest, I haven't really got any in my sights. In fact I've not been paying attention to the game industry for quite a while now, but there are some games that have already come out which I've been enjoying (Children of the Nile should arrive soon, after a funful demo play)FW wrote:What upcoming PC games are you looking forward to?
The great thing is that, by lagging behind the rest of civilisation by a few years, I can make considerable savings on hardware and software due to tumbling prices, without comprimising the amount of enjoyment I get.

I'm not. World of Warcraft is all I need (I could play it all day every day, although I don't). Been playing it since mid beta which is over a year and I still love it. Definitely the best MMO I've ever seen.
I may get Oblivion at some point.
As for Worms 4, I can't see me buying it. Not because I'm worried it'll suck or WormNET will suck, but because I'm just not a wormer anymore. I can't remember the last time I was asked for a game of worms.

Since when is DS MMO?
If I want to play an MMO then I'll play WoW. If I want a good single player and/or multiplayer RPG then I'll play DS. They're different games in the same genre and neither is better than the other.
Besides which I play on a dodgy free serve with an incomplete database so WoW is a bit pants at times lol

And playing on free servers sucks, you don't get the new features at the right time, nor the huge community. Play it properly!
