Sam and Max 2 Cancelled

RobertFoster

LucasArts has decided to stop production on Sam & Max [LucasArts Press release]

"After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC" says Mike Nelson, Acting General Manager and VP of Finance and Operations. There is currently no plan to reduce staff.

Sam & Max 2 Cancelled?

I shall be drinking my bottle of whiskey tonight with a heavy heart [while listening to monkey island soundtracks]

Rum would be a better match for a Caribbean set game... !
FT2 didnt sound too good (loadsa arcade elements), but this did.

Man, I loved Sam and Max... But a sequal now!?
What is it, 10 years later?

I've never honestly had any hopes for the game, and I'd rather it cancelled than a stinker of a game churned out. Incidentally (And Ironically), I've found my old copy of Day Of The Tentacle! Oldschool!!!

Which itself was released how long after Maniac Mansion?

Perhaps I should've left the '10 years after' thing out of it, but I seriously think that sequels aren't a good thing in general. And a sequel to Sam and Max could never live up to our fond memories or such a great game.

Sam n Max is like the StarWars name though, It could sell based on that.

Plus Max has appeared in countless games (Starwars games mostly).

Sucks they are cancelling this.
