LucasArts announces Sam & Max sequel

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the what-about-the-cartoon dept.

Altima(BoB) writes "LucasArts announced today a sequel to their 1993 cult classic adventure game Sam & Max Hit the Road. This follows a recent announcement of Full Throttle II. The press release explains: It's due first quarter 2004 for Windows PCs, no other operating systems or platforms mentioned, but it looks promising. Personally, I think that LucasArts' adventure games have been long overdue a comeback, anyone who's played them can attest to their top-notch writing and humor."

    Yes, "people" (i.e, the mindless gaming public), buy for graphics. Simple as that. It seems games with great graphics are bought up enmass, while games with unique or somewhat overclocked retro stylings are shunned and branded "ugly".

    If the average gamer went out and bought games based on pure gameplay, we'd get a 2D Sam and Max (which is the way it should be, the same applies to Metroid Prime, which looks nice, but just isn't Metroid).

    Looks can be deceiving. Or CAN they?
