Sam and Max 2 to Remain Cancelled

Posted by Zonk on from the dangit dept.

Doomstalk writes "In the last couple of months, rumors on the possible resurrection of LucasArts' Sam and Max: Freelance Police grew in gaming circles. The rumors mentioned a new, mysterious games publisher called Bad Brain that was willing to raise money in order to buy the rights to an unnamed adventure game from LucasArts. Many thought this was too good to be true. Unfortunately, they were proven right, as Bad Brain revealed the news that negotiations with LucasArts over the rights to Sam and Max 2 have been discontinued."

    Aaah maybe they are preoccupied with 76 new games on all platforms for the release of SWIII.

    You can only have so much quality...

    There are some great open sourced adventure engines coming out... I would like to see an adventure game engine written in some crazy engine like GTA or Doom3... smooth camera movements, nice UI...

    Perhaps the license to make sam and max 2 is inside some cute kitten somewhere, and you should jsut turn it inside out and look!
