Just curious about how the people on this board feel about the fact that FT2 will not be released. I don't know if I should be angry at Lucasarts, or pleased with their quality control. It makes me wonder if they simply want to spend their time spewing forth Star Wars titles.

If they round file Sam and Max hit the road, I'm going to blow up Lucasarts.
That said, if it prevented the appearance of another classic Lucasarts title being bolloxed up (*cough*StarWarsI&II*cough*) then i can't complain too loudly. Sometimes one is enough of a good thing. I'd love to see a Grim Fandango sequel, fat chance of that I guess.

Some speculated that Full Throttle 2 would not have been worthy of its predecessors anyway, as it didn't involve Tim Schafer. Still, Schafer's Xbox adventure title, Psychonauts, seems to be shaping up nicely.

Poo. Well, one less new game to look forward to on the already short list.

From what I saw of Full Throttle 2 at E3 -- and, man, don't I wish I had that beta -- it was an ill-advised attempt at a 3D action/adventure. I distinctly recall a really crappy fighting sequence. No one who saw the E3 version came away impressed. It was a good kill.

I agree, It has been too long without a new appearance from our pals sam & max. I still read the comics in the manual and hint book, and I crack up everytime. I heard there was a comic collection somewhere, but it is impossible to find, and is damn expensive

Y'know, the Sam & Max TV episodes are quite easy to find on P2P.
