New SAM & MAX

New Sam & Max game is in development and it will be episodic (like Half - Life 2 from now on).

Creator of S&M partnered with some guys and they' re hard at work - I guess that' s great news for more than one persone (me) :)

Finally, I' ve only been waiting for this for around 6 years. There' s one thing that I still don' t understand about this ordeal though, what was stopping LucasArts from producing one themselves? I suppose the budget for it went toward yet another " Battle of Hoth" level in Jedi Knight MMMCLLLXXXXXIIIIIIQ: Jedi Tax Consultant.

I think the times of games like that are gone - and they know it' s only for the Hardcore fans and won' t sell very well - but maybe it will who knows :)

I dont know why LucasArts stopped making the games, Im still wishing for a new Monkey Island, with 2D graphics, man those were the times!

i think that if there was to be any success for something as offbeat as a 2d point and click game, in a world of run-and gun fully immersive gameplay, you' d see it on 360 marketplace, or on the revolution, two media bases that could have serious potential with something like that. who else here misses good almost-semi-not-really clean puzzle games like Sam & Max, Indiana Jones Atlantis, and Day of the Tentacle? games that actually had witty and engaging plots. as much as that quirky bastion of weirdness that sam & max is, i believe that the future of these sort of games lies with the independent game developers, & not with big buisness.

W00t for freelance police, why lucasarts? why?

Honestly though, It seems that trifling things like plot, wit, and originality have fallen by the wayside to fund things that make people go WOOOO! SHINY!
Crying shame too.

it' s about time. only, they spent the money on simplifying the starwars galaxies engine, okay, so you can be a jedi, a bounty hunter, or a stormtrooper. what do you mean you want to be something else. of course you dont.

oh hurry up telltale! we want our hyperkinetic rabbity thingy! and a dog too!!!
