Sam & Max Sequel Canceled

Posted by simoniker on from the hit-the-roadkill dept.

Pluvius writes "A terse press release from LucasArts, the creator of classic adventure games such as Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island series, reveals that development on Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the planned sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road, has stopped. Says LucasArts exec Mike Nelson, 'After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC.'" The International House Of Mojo fansite has some editorial comments [original URL] on this move, the second Sam & Max game cancellation in recent years, lamenting: "LucasArts has made a gigantic mistake."

      Tucker Max is just a rich preppie cocksucker. Don't ready anything written by him or by people who hang out on his forum. I look forward to seeing him in a shitty telemovie that even Brian Dennehey won't touch, and then never seeing or hearing of him again.
