*wipes away tears*

Hurrah!

I hope it's anything like as good as S&M Hit the Road (hmm... S&M... dunno how appropriate that is).

[off-topic]That reminds me: one of my tutors always signs her initials "SLM", although nobody has the faintest idea what the L is supposed to stand for. She probably made it up in order to avoid the sniggers...[/off-topic]

So is this the game that kept being announced for something like two years, then, or is it something else entirely?

[DeathDude]

Nope it's not the same game that was announced couple years back from Lucasarts, this is being made by Telltale games, which will be releasing the first episode of this game (the game is going to be released in episode increments) on Oct. 18, and a few weeks later you'll be able to order it in case you don't want to download the first episode.

Hoping it does justice for the series.

Whoah! Bone is a game now?!

I wonder if the game will finish the story, as Jeff Smith never managed it with the comic series

[DeathDude]

Only time will tell it seems. There's also talk that Sam and Max may be brought over to the wii or ds and even bone might make an appearance on the next gen consoles, the main issue is destribution at this time but it could change so we can hope for now.

I remember playing the original for some time, but got bored. I could again here say that I might be trying this, but to be honest, it ain't gonna happen. Nice graphics though, and the humour is brilliant, or so I've heard.

[Sabreman]

Hmm... I don't like the new Max voice - it's a little too whiney rather than the bordering on psychotic it needs to be. Also, I didn't find much to chuckle about in those gameplay movies. I hope I'll be more impressed by the full game though, which I definitely will be buying purely because I've waited so long for it!

[DeathDude]

I think the voices will be hard to adjust to with the memory of the old ones that many gamers who played the talkie version will have, but think after a few sessions will latch onto the new ones, they are promising.

Aye, the voice acting in the original was brilliant - this stuff is merely... alright. They don't seem as good at comically timing things.

[DeathDude]

Myself would have prefered original actors, wonder why they didn't get them, but anyways I'll give these guys a chance and who knows may end up surprising some people.

[Fawfulhasfury]

They didn't get the original voice actors because the original voice actors are busy working on bigger and BETTER projects which give them way more money than voice acting. The original VA for Sam is in that hit US television show about the woman president. Stop whining.  

P.S. Whining plea directed at Sabreman, not Deathdude

[DeathDude]

Ahh didn't know that about this new voice actor for Sam, that's pretty cool, and yeah can imagine the originals might have been tied down with other work, just the way of life.
