  • LucasArts makes baby Jesus cry... AGAIN

    Mother****ers.

    As if I needed more proof that there is no just and loving god in the universe.



    Sam & Max 2 put to sleep for good
    Negotiations between Bad Brain and LucasArts discontinued

    In the last couple of months, rumors on the possible resurrection of LucasArts' Sam & 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. Wolfgang Kierdorf, Bad Brain's CEO, stated that "yes, we are talking to LucasArts about a game that might involve animals, but that's all folks!", successfully gaining the attention of the games press at large.

    Many thought this was too good to be true. Unfortunately, they were proven right, as Bad Brain today brings the news that negotiations between them and LucasArts over the rights to Sam & Max 2 have been discontinued.

    "We tried everything to bring you the game you all wanted. But it seems all hope has gone. They broke off negotiations. But you truly have to believe that it wasn't our fault and it sure wasn't the money. We just don't know and they don't tell", is the message found on Bad Brain's website.

    LucasArts has not commented, but it seems that Kierdorf's surprisingly open attitude during the negotiations — which he admitted were protected by a non-disclosure agreement — may have led to the break-off.

    Lucas Arts has gone way down hill. To much diddling over Ewoks.

      Full Throttle was pretty good.

        They have fallen a long way from Monkey Island 1 and 2.

          Some people over at Mixnmojo think it was all some sort of publicity stunt by Bad Brain. Not sure myself.

            Lucasart were certainly great game makers once upon a time

            tis a shame.....still Starwars used to be a great trilogy......so maybe its not by accident?

              Well, actually, #3 was the best in that saga.

              And yes, this SUCKS. S&M provided many a laugh-filled evening when I was in college and should have been studying.

              Erm, by "S&M" I mean Sam & Max, of course...

                  Naturally, otherwise it would have been a scream
                  To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

                        didn't they cancel Full Throttle 2, too?
