I just not attract to larry series,and somewhat even feel some hate for it. I backed Jane's project instead,but I still hope they will end up with 500k at least,they had good video.

I always get the feeling of genuineness when it comes to Lowe. That said, I was unaware that they had merely licensed the rights back. On their Kickstarter page, when they said they had re-acquired the rights, I assumed they had bought them back outright.

That's kind of deceptive - all this talk about not wanting to rely on publishers, when in reality if this remake does well, they will STILL be forced to eat out of Codemaster's hand should they choose to pursue future options. Which leads us back to square one and the root of the problem. Sad


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

and lets hope there will be investors of some kind, be it publishers or crowdsourcing in a big way like you can with stock where multi million dollar budgets are possible for games we the gamers want, where its not about squeezing every penny out of it and where profit is good enough no matter how much.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/04/10/happy-as-larry-al-lowe-on-remaking-his-classic-game/

Quote:
RPS: That’s interesting, why do you think that?

Paul: I just don’t think it held true to Roberta’s vision, just like I don’t think the Leisure Suit Larrys that have come out after Al wasn’t involved held true to Al’s vision. And that’s why I refuse to work on a Leisure Suit Larry game if Al wasn’t involved. I refuse to work on a King’s Quest game if Roberta’s not involved.

RPS: Would Roberta be willing to be involved, she’s been out of the industry for a while hasn’t she?

Paul: I can’t speak for Roberta, but I can tell you that we’re currently talking to her and Ken.

RPS: It’s like getting the old gang back together.

Al: We’re putting the band back together!

if understand,Activation own the rights,and they just allowed telltale to make King quest game.

Edit:
Quote:
Our good friends over at Tell Tale have licensed King's Quest from Activision. If we do our job right then maybe, just MAYBE we'll be able to partner with them and ruinite the Space Quest team, King's Quest team (go Roberta!!!!) and Police Quest team for re-makes or new versions of those (Space Quest 7 anybody?).

They're pushing it so much. They picked the wrong game to start with. Kings Quest would've gotten great backing. Larry is not even that good of a game. Crying or Very sad

Wrong, they should make new Larry not remake, and king quest is lame to LSL

They obviously can't make a new lsl. They don't have any ideas. and a remake of a poor game isn't such a good idea. Only fans want it and the fanbase of that game isn't strong. They should instead do a new adventure game just like DF did. Then they'd rake in cash.

They only got a license for the first game.
LSL was raped enough with the last two games so thats why they only got the license for the first one.
IF it turns out to become a good product we might end up with King's Quest,Space Quest & Police Quest.(I trust Al Lowe)
They were even talking about new games as well ....who's up for LSL 4 ?

I know i am Very Happy

KQ is being made. \o/

LSL won't be made. \o/ they should redo kickstarter and offer a product a larger audience wants.

I was a big LSL and Spacequest fan back in the day but honestly, $15 for a remake? I mean, it's a remake of a remake of a remake already and I played all the three previous games so there's little reason to play them again.

On top of that, I dig the last remake's graphics far more than the cartoony look which is just too slick for me - Sierra's painted backgrounds in the early 90s games of theirs were really beautiful and made the games come alive - cartoon style just doesn't do that.

Now, if they made the game mature (as in, remove the silly Sierra censoring) and gave it more shocking comedy (because it has become rather tame in the last 25 years) + added new puzzles, new locations, etc. then I'd be on board.
