If you have ever played adenture games from LUCAS ARTS such as monkey islands, grim fandango, full throttle, sam and max, and maniac mansions. they are really fun and entertaining . well back in 2003 they made plans for sam and max 2 and full throttle 2, then they canned both plans. LUCAS ARTS hasnt even produced or came up with a new plan for a new adventure game. This makes me really mad . i know many people agree they should start making new adventure games. am i right?

Lucasarts is a company that at one point in time made adventure games partly do to the fact that the people working there wanted to make them. Those people are no longer working there [for the most part] so if Lucasarts started making adventure games again it would be completly different than before [as most things are].

So support the people who made the adventure games you love not the company that they worked at.

1. DON'T PANIC.

2. Don't listen to Eric, those drunken ex-Lucasarts bums don't need your support. They're rich enough already.

3. If you're young enough, blame your generation. They are the ones who set the standards game developers bow down to. That standard seems to be very high on the graphics and action end and very low on everything else.

4. Don't listen to the next reply.

A company does not make games. It's people, damn it! PEOPLE!!!!11

You'd better hope they don't make another adventure game. They'd probably start out with a nice idea, and then they'd change things around to match the market. It's like when SQ7 was being made by sierra. They intended to make it 3d (not so bad) and multiplayer. Which completely has nothing to do with the series. Look at what happened to Monkey Island...The last had some good elements but they added so much more to appeal to a wider audience, it made the game less playable.

Yeah, or like that lame Leisure Luis Larry sequel starring his lame cousin which wasn't even an adventure game.
Thes ecompanies today wouldn't make the same kind of games we know & love. Better to rejoice with your classic adventure games classics and play new AGS games,

When Adventure games are Outlaw only Outlaws wll have Adventure games.

Lucas Arts should just keep making crappy Star Wars games untill people get sick of it and stop buying. As for adventure games... They are dead and AGS is a bunch of zombies. Maybe one day the things will change. Adventure games had a soul. A story. They made you think. But for the new generation of games thinking is bad. Just shoot everything, pretend you are really playing and enjoy the "game".

[sarcasm]I disagree, LucasArts make plenty of high quality star wars games we all love and enjoy so much that they make more and more and more...[/sarcasm]

The dark side of gaming is one many believe to be un-natural

Aw c'mon guys! The star wars games aren't that bad! Knights of the old republic was good! And the sequel was exactly the same but less good! And then there's that other star wars game.. you know, the game of the movie in lego form in the style of a racing MMORPG strategy beat 'em up! Everyone knows that game.

If LEC did start making adventure games again you could rest assured the quality would be just as dire as their recent franchised efforts.

EDIT: In reference to what Eric is about to say, "I wasn't aware of that, however its no skin off my rosy nose. I feel indifferent towards LEC in general these days."

MrColossal · Fri 12/05/2006 18:08:54

Since Lucasarts has closed all game producing facilities and is now just a publisher, they won't be making any games for a long long time.

With this link, they gather information for chasing old Adventure Game geeks, and they go and kill them.

So, never ever put your info there...

MrColossal · Fri 12/05/2006 20:22:03

I thought they shut down all production last year and were just publishers, oh well, nevermind then.

PS: Who needs a life when you work for a game company.... so overtime isnt that bad

I bet if you print out the form and zoom in x 1000 you'll find another caveat:

Must be willing to give your soul to Lucasarts...And any ideas you may have while you are its bitch.
