would be nice if they revived 1313, hiring the original team.

This isn't Lucasarts, this is a marionette that's supposed to impersonate Lucasarts.

Anything's better than EA, though.

If they would bring Koronis Rift to GoG, I think I would buy it.

They had license for Indiana Jones.

And if you did revive Looking Glass, with original developers on board, they might start developing an Underworld game, which would be really neat.

Somehow my thoughts are drawn between Pet Sematary and the reanimation of Buffy's mum.

As the article says, I hope you can get a sequel to Loom. With the technologies of today, they could make a beautiful videogame.

And with business practices of today and today politics they will either make a microtransactions ridden farm or SJW manifesto.

Apropos of nothing, have you read Clark Ashton Smith's last story?

I had bought this in physical form directly from Telltale when it was first released :) What I meant was that I would be most excited about a full-length Monkey Island sequel (not episodic). Of course I enjoyed Tales of Monkey Island, Ron Gilbert was also a bit involved in it but I wonder if he would be interested in creating a retro-looking sequel (Thimbleweed Park style).

Even before the Disney deal, the quality of Lucasarts games had gone down the tubes.
They hardly had any in hourse designers, and contracted everything out.

Yes, and Rescue from Fractalus.

I am not sure if this will be a good thing. only time will tell, unless they make a Kotor 3 i probably will not buy for a while.

they did.

but i'm not sure that indiana jones had nearly the traction the star wars movies did.

i mean: while there were probably /some/ indiana jones toys and figurines and whatnot, whatever that series did, it pretty much paled in comparison with what lucas was doing with star wars.

that and there would have had to have been a some-way-split, revenue wise for whatever happened with indiana jones since stephen spielberg had a hand in those movies.

i almost think that's how lucasarts ended up being able to make those indiana jones games: spielberg was a way less contentious guy to work with than lucas ever was and he was probably mostly ok with those adventure games existing.

[i'm surprised they got made, given the et fiasco.]
they could.

but it could also just be a bust.

loom is really a product of it's era.

in the golden age of adventure games, the executives just got out of the way - for the most part - and let the developers/programmers have at it.

a loom, made today, would either:

have to absolutely be given to a small, indie studio.

or

be a workshopped, focus tested mess.

Looking at all the old Star Wars expanded universe stuff, I really don't think Lucas was overly sensitive about letting people play with his toys.

Adventure games aren't exactly something big studios make today anyway. The first result of any sort of "focus testing" would be "don't make an adventure game".
