Sam and Max 2 to Remain Cancelled
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."
Bad Brain Entertainment, a new german game developer, has indeed failed to get the rights for Sam & Max. But they are now talking to Steve Purcell, creator of the two characters, to whom the rights appearently will fall back in may 2005. So theres still Hope...
