Sam & Max in 3D

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the carnivorous-rabbits dept.

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.

    Converting 2d games to 3d games has not been very successful in the past...

    Remember Mario? Mario 3 was one of the biggest selling games of all time, as was mario world. Mario 64? Dismal sales and an awful game.

    Zelda? Zelda 3 was on of the greatest games of all time.. But in 3d? It was a dreadfully boring farce of an adventure game

    Remember sonic the hedgehog 3d? Not me, but it was released, another dismal failure.

    Duke Nukem 3d? It was a good game but it was completely different from the original duke games aside from the name.

    I love the old 2d platforming style of game which has sadly been retired. I doubt they will be able to keep the magic of Sam + Max with the addition of a z-axis.
