Sam & Max in 3D
Obiwan Kenobi writes "I know we see game announcements everyday (especially with E3 in full swing), but this is a biggie: The Sam & Max Sequel, Freelance Police has officially been announced. This fantastic (and hilarious) game finally gets its 3D-outing. Check out the nice trailer and stop by the official site for concept art and more." The original game is one of my fondest game memories, and this looks pretty promising.
I don't see Steve Purcell's name anywhere on the press release. He was the original creator...anyone know if he is back on board this game? It looks sweet though and the trailer is pretty funny. Hopefully they won't make a bad sequal to my fave game.
Sam and Max - "Oboy! It's the colorized version of Citizen Kane...oh, my mistake -- it's just the Flintstones."
It's very sad that after 10 years, I can finally play the original Sam & Max: Hit the Road under Linux using an emulator that LucasArts doesn't approve of (ScummVM), yet now that they is releasing a new game and has the opportunity to support multiple platforms they're only offering it for Windows! *Sigh* I guess I'll just have to hope that someone at Icculus ports it, or WineX supports it...Does anybody know of a way to let LucasArts know that I'd like a Linux port?
I completely agree. Even when it done perfectly (toy story etc), 3d still lacks. Check out the art work in Monkey Island or the original Sam and Max. Loads more interesting than the plasticene baloons they look like in the screenshots. I do like the advances shows like futurama and games like the new zelda are making merging 3d and traditional animation. It looks seamless and captures the 'living cell' look of traditional.
