Full Throttle Sequel Cancelled

Posted by simoniker on from the no-more-vroom-vroom dept.

Thanks to IGN PC for their article indicating that LucasArts have cancelled Full Throttle:Hell On Wheels, the partially completed PC sequel to the classic point 'n click adventure. Simon Jeffery, president of LucasArts said: "We do not want to disappoint the many fans of Full Throttle and hope everyone can understand how committed we are to delivering the best quality gaming experience that we possibly can." The official Full Throttle sequel homepage has been removed, although its Google cache is still available.

    It's not a rumor at all... Tim Schafer is busy with his own company now. Disclaimer: I work there.

    I have pretty high hopes for Sam and Max 2, since Steve Purcell is involved.

    I had already gotten myself a copy of the Bone Jackal's CDs.

    Bah.

    For those who didn't know, they did all of the music for Full Throttle... Thanks to the game, I have to say I liked some songs more without the lyrics, but the first song in the credits rules. I forget what it's called, but I think it was track 4. So does "We Want our Brothers Back".

    I'm a FT whore, and I guess I'm glad they didn't screw up the sequel.
