I knew it was coming, but I'm so damn excited to see it! The 3D models are a bit queer looking (not the homosexual kind of queer) but I still cannot wait!

YES! LOOKS AWSOME!!!1 W00T

$:-\$ yes the 3d does look queer ._. I thought it was going to be 2d for some reason..
although i'm sure it will be a 'whimsical miasma of fur-flying action, hare-pulling puzzles, and unnerving cross-species jocularity' indeed.

Actually, I like how the 3D looks. Sam and Max's character models look a bit weird. They may alter them before the game comes out. If not, I can get used to it. The environments are great looking, though. Looks like they'll have plenty of funny little details, just like the art in the comics. The trailer has me wishing for a Sam and Max movie once again.

OOh! 3d Adventure Comedy. Lets fucking hope so!

And does this character resemble one of our board members or what???

I think the 3D looks amazingly well done, especially compared to certain other 3D 'adventure' games. The trailer is great (does anyone know if they got the same voice actors? Sure sounds like it) and I have the feeling that although it's in 3D, it won't be some sort of Tomb Raider-y crap that has been passed off as 'adventure' before, but instead an actual point and click sort of game.

Here's hoping they have a new, improved version of highway surfing!

it looks like claymation, which is great for sam & max... the models need some polishing, but it's all good!

Oh man oh man oh shit oh shit oh shit. I just saw the trailer, and I'm much much more excited than I was earlier today. I'm still not crazy about the character models (or the Sam and Max logo on the DeSoto, which is too crisp and clean), but I'm confident that in a year those things will be improved. Other than that, it looks like they hit the atmosphere right on. The style, the music, the characters--unless LA seriously messes us (which is a possibility I suppose), this is going to be a welcome change from recent fare.

gah, I hate to say this 'again'....

But I think the concept art looks soooo good!
Why don't they make a game like that

Oh well, this probably will be a great adventure and I shall be happy

Esseb · Tue 13/05/2003 08:59:45

It looks cool. The characters obviously will get refined before the games is out. I hope the softy soft renderer will be rethough also. Oh well.

NIFTY!

We haven't seen how it will be played though.

Nellie · Tue 13/05/2003 13:35:56

Ah, that trailer is so, so good. If they keep up that level of humour in the game I'll be very happy.

I thought exactly the same.
A game with that artwork would be awesome!
but at least it seems they arenÂ´t going to make it a more action game like full throttle 2.

rodekill · Tue 13/05/2003 23:49:37

Great trailer, but once again... 3d. Sigh.
I mean, look at any of the Sam and Max comics and tell me they don't look hella better. Imagine a nice high res game with art of that quality. Come ON.

evenwolf · Wed 14/05/2003 01:07:19

Or imagine a comic book in fully rendered 3D!!!!

Femme Stab Mode >:D · Wed 14/05/2003 03:56:42

The concept art looks awesome. I wish the game had graphics like that. Sam looks alright in 3d but Max... I wish it was 2d. Anyway, I think Sam and Max will never be matched by any sequel.

MrColossal · Wed 14/05/2003 06:02:37

and the Genre tag in the game info section says adventure

the genre tag for Full Throttle says Action Adventure...

so they feel the need NOT to add action to the genre... very very interesting

Gilbert · Wed 14/05/2003 06:14:18

* Gilbot V7000a thinks that MYST was tagged an adventure game...

Trapezoid · Wed 14/05/2003 06:42:09

I love the trailer more and more each time I watch it. There's so much detail. I especially like how when Sam and Max are looking out the window, they watch the tiny versions over themselves run across the screen. It just looks so funny.

Cans O' Stuff.

n3tgraph · Wed 14/05/2003 08:14:18

gah.... somehow the 3d looks cheap or something, i don't know

it's the same when they make a real life asterix movie - it just isn't teh same $:-\$

Esseb · Wed 14/05/2003 10:14:16

I too would prefer a 2d handdrawn game, but they're not gonna make it so I'm glad they didn't make it bad 3d at least.

Besides, even if it is 3d they won't lose the SnM humour.
