	Lesiure Suit Larry Full PM-box? Change here!

I just found some screenshots for this game:

http://www.dailyrush.dk/features/ga...777/parts/2424/

(at the bottom of the page it says "Nęste Side", which means next page )

Personally I don't like the graphics... they should have stayed with 2D... but what worries me most is the fact that Al Lowe doesn't work on this project

I just found a video to this game... but it's not worth downloading... It's only 53 sec, but the first 10 seconds is just showing the text "Guess who's back"... The quality is low, and there's faster cutting than in most music videos and Hollywood movies, so you don't actually see anything... and the worst part: It's almost 200 MB
I downloaded with an average on 100 kbs, but it was still 'too slow' for this bad movie...

Wow, that took a long time before this got posted.

They should have stayed with 2D indeed, or at least make some great 3D graphics.

Edit : the auto censor screws up the link

It's magna C u m (no spaces), so you'll need to replace the *** with C u m

Some years ago when they was making Larry 8 - somethingAboutSpace they released a small video just before they cancelled it... as far as I remember, the graphics back then was the same (if not better) as the one in this larry game... and that was many years ago

I'm just glad they're making a new Larry game at all. I think censors who approve endless games involving killing people in the goriest ways imaginable but get indignant at the flash of a pixellated nipple have some serious issues to resolve.

Al Lowe not being involved is a shame but provided the general approach and humour stays similar it really shouldn't matter. A game genre rarely stands or falls on the creative input of one man.

Totally agree

But sometimes it makes a difference... and I wonder why they didn't want Al Lowe to do the humor... He (Al) said he wanted to do it, and he had been with Sierra a few times to discuss future projects (for Sierra in general, not just for Al Lowe or Larry)... he's as puzzled as the rest of the world, why they didn't choose him...

But Civ2 was made by Brian

Whatever Al is up to these days I doubt he is sitting around with his own team ready to jump into a new Larry game like he used to. With the game being handed out to be written by a new developer its understandable that they wanted to follow their own ideas rather than calling Al and asking him to come design it for them.

The 3d I can do without but its certainly an innovative new approach to have Larry succeed or fail in multilayered conversation (with minigames) instead of relying purely on working out the object orientated puzzles of the past. I look forward to trying it out to see if it pays off.

I have been a subscriber to Al Lowes cyberjokes (2 jokes per day in the email) for years, and he's been telling what he knows about the project. In short:

As Larry 8 - Lust in Space, was cancelled some years ago, Al Lowe said he wanted to do the game himself (well... not all by himself, but you know what I mean), but he wasn't allowed to start the project because of copyright issues.
Later Sierra called in ex/employers (Among them was Al Lowe) to talk about the fact that Sierra wanted to get some of their old classics 'back to life'. Later it became more specific that LSL games was one of them.
Al Lowe has then been to a few interviews about the game, but for some reason he wasn't chosen...


Ok, maybe I forgot some facts or something, but the whole story (from AL's point of view) is to be found at www.allowe.com

Hahaha, and if this follows what Sierra has done to the other franchises they tried resurrecting, then this will almost certainly be cancelled before it sees the light of day.

It's just a simple adventure game, where the point is to get laid

but the reason of it's success is not because of the girls (You don't see anything anyway), but because of the comedy

I remember the Leisure Suit Larry games... they were great! Unfortunately, like with Monkey Island, I fear this company will try to update the game using a 3D environment. Doing this will probably ruin the game and make it lame.

The games that have been ruined by porting into a 3D environment:
Monkey Island
Zelda
Mario
Metroid

I don't know about mOnkey Island, but the resto f those games were really good in 3-D.
I doubt that in a couple of years, that they will have a much retro appeal, as their 2-d 80's predecessors, but it would have sucked to have a 2-d zelda game of the Game Cube.
Mario however, does have tremendous retro appeal thanks to 3-D. Mario 64 was the best thing to happen t othat series. It is timeless, and awesome, unlike your terrible opinion.
