    Anyones opinion on this? Would be a shame if they stopped making them IMO

    Even if the last one was a dissapointment, i still think they have some tricks up their sleeves

    How many times can you break a sword before you finally switch over to a Mac-10?

    Yeah and point and click please :D

    I only enjoyed 1 and 2 and lost interest mid way through the 3rd :(

    The last one was a terrible dissapointment! Didn't mind the style so much but it was embarrisingly easy!

    Yeah, 2D hand drawn artwork ftw for adventure games. 3D just doesn't suit them as well. Also, one of the 3D broken sword games had some infuriating timing-based hide-in-the-shadows type puzzles. None o that please :)

    I'd rather a sequel to BASS first (which is coming to the iPhone/iPod Touch btw).

    BS5 could be on the Wii/DS (in 2D) if the sales of BS1 Director's Cut does well enough.

    The likes of Sam & Max and Grim Fandango prove that wrong. :)

    Not a hope this will be 2D.

    The last two 3D games weren't too bad to be honest.

    I preferred Sam & Max in 2D tbh. Grim Fandango was good though, although I found many of the puzzles frustratingly difficult in that.

    BS5? It might happen and i would get it but the direction they took in 4 put me off a bit.

    They need to write a great script based on some interesting object/period in history or mythology and also the most important part - bring back the humour from 1 and 2! 3 and 4 were as dull as fu$k.

    Replaying BS directors cut again recently brought back to me how bad the dialogue is in 3 and 4.

    Theres not a chance they will go back to using the art style from 1 and 2. Publishers won't go near them if they mention the word 2D. I don't mind the game being a point and click 3D.
