The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: News from LucasArts

Not so much a Monkey Island update, but a rather interesting snippet from the latest LucasArts Insider:

Announcements Coming Soon!
LucasArts is poised to make several exciting announcements in the coming weeks. Watch the LucasArts web site beginning next week and be the first to know!

We'll remain optimistic and hope that it's a new adventure game. (there's probably an off-beat chance that it's Star Wars game tho)

yeah...from the same makers of the buffy game...hope it comes out for the ps2

Since nobody mentioned it here, i'll be the first one:
Take a closer look to the lucasarts-homepage. Quite refreshing to see this Indy-logo throning above all this star-wars-crap ;)

"Oh and IF its going to be.."

Posted Jan 22, 2002

oh lookie here...
>Indy 4 News!

So Harry, Spielberg and Ms Spielberg (Willie Scott in ToD) say there's going to be an indy4! Hmm, if lucasfilm is about to announce it, then it could very well be that LucasARTS announcement may be related to that...who knows..

i dont like it the way everyone's being so negative about lucasarts...are you ppl serious that after all those games in the many early years that mean so much to us, and they make one mistake with EMI, that you have absolutely no faith left? You take all their credit away just because you didn't like EMI? (which was a perfect adventure, tho a bad mi sequel) C'mon, chins up ppl :D Oh and its going to be starwars announcements only...THEN you can throw the eggs at me ;P

They couldn't very well have announced it as "Really rather boring announcements" now could they?

Posted Jan 21, 2002

Actually.. I'd consider a dead cat horrifying... last years announcements were just dull! About as exciting as having to playtest a Casino game for two days... hmmmm, why does that sound familiar?

Posted Jan 21, 2002

Would these be the "several exciting announcements" we were promised last year, in those exact words, which turned out to be about as exciting as a dead cat?

I'd love another MI game, but they made such an arse of the last one maybe they should let it lie.
I too would love another Indy adventure!

I would like it if Lucas arts did what the twisted metal guys did(get ron gilbert back to make another Monkey island game) get people to forget 3 and 4 and make his version of the 3rd, as the original makers of twisted metal left after the second, other people made a 3rd and 4th but they were never as good as the 1st two, then the original makers came back and made TM:black, so make Rons version of MI3

erm uuhh..wha?
i would like to see a remake of mi2(no change to the joke and the story..except mayby stuff added in buy nothing taken out) either 2d or 3d
and does lucas arts also make the iniana jones movies? if so i would like to see another one of them
or a new plot with new characters, mayby a medevil one or one about the present

Posted Jan 20, 2002

Wohooo! MI 5 in 2d!?!?

Posted Jan 20, 2002

what hapened to all the anouncements? havnt seen any yet

Posted Jan 20, 2002

I just read that domonic interview and he mentioned something about sons of monkey island...is that going to be the name of the 5th mky game? anyway i would like to see either another Monkey Island or Grim Fandango 2

Posted Jan 19, 2002

i would loveee an original adventure game. if not an original adventure id love an indy adventure game :) if not an adventure game i'd love it to be an indy action game...i sure love a lot..

Posted Jan 19, 2002

DOTT 2? Don't you mean Maniac Mansion 3? Perhaps not, since LEC didn't call "Jedi Outcast" "Dark Forces III".

I'd actually like to see a non-sequel adventure, since they haven't made one since 1998, and since the fans kind of chewed up and spit out EMI.

Posted Jan 18, 2002

Not THAT optimistic :).

Posted Jan 18, 2002

"LucasArts is poised" Poised -What do they mean exactly by that?

A new adventuregame that would be groundbraking and reinventing the adventuregenre would be a really really neat touch by Simon Jeffery if he pulls that off as LEC-president.

DOTT 2 would awesome also, or any other classic adventure.

Posted Jan 18, 2002

Or, we could try to be optimistic again.

Posted Jan 18, 2002

Racer Revenge Strikes Back?

Posted Jan 18, 2002

hmmm if they made a
Grim Fandago 2 recently i ont think it would be right off since Grim Fandao was made a while ago.
and all original games arnt always the best, i found the dig to be boreing

Posted Jan 25, 2002

erm..Grim Fandango
