So, Night Dive Studios have posted this gif on their Facebook Page and it's being discussed on the GOG forums. At the moment, it's looking quite plausible that they're bringing LucasArts to GOG and that can only be a good thing.

    It's possible. They only posted an image and didn't post an article to go with it. There's also that 10 blue line image they posted.

    Would that be from a LucasArts game? At first I thought DoTT from the time Vortex at the beginning, but then I realized it wasn't the same pattern at all. The Full Throttle image has definitely got me interested though.

    The blue lines look more like circuitry, or the lines running in and out of SHODAN.

    I think the fact they said they were "Heading to Corley Motors!" is a slightly better hint.

    The classic game experts on GOG have pointed me in the direction of the blue lines. They're not from a game, they're from a book.

    But that is a game.

    Yes, but the lines are from the book.

    I have no idea how you find anything besides the announcements on the GOG forums. That has to be one of the most confusing forums I've ever visited.

    Mainly by obsessively searching through every single page for something newsworthy :p

    Heh. I actually tried that as well, but it seems like the results are only sorted by relevance or something without any options for filtering or sorting on date.

    Ok, I found the thread now.

    Hope this is true, especially since they seem to be putting a few hints on their Facebook page and since these guys were responsible for getting the licence to System Shock 2.

    It looks like a deal hasn't been struck yet.

    I also noticed that the Facebook page had a picture of Sam and Max plushies on it!

    I wonder if that means something...

    An HD update of Hit the Road with Telltale voice actors?

    Nasty baiting there.
    I like it.

    I dont think its going to be an HD remake of Hit the road with Telltale voice actors. Maybe they are releasing the games in a collective pack for the modern consoles.

    I agree while I don't like the VA's that much it would be a pointless cosmetic change and the game graphics and mechanics are fine and don't need any updating

    Agreed. The only games that really benefit from an update are the ones that lack voice acting. (though, Curse of Monkey Island would look so pretty in widescreen)

    Almost as unnecessary as remaking the Telltale games with worse graphics and the Lucasarts-cast voice actors.*




    *Although admittedly this idea might be a lot more fun... :D

    Go back in time to 2008/2009 or so and make that post. You'd have been torn limb from limb! :P

    Nobody gives a shit what Telltale fanboys don't like.

    Am I the only one who thinks Telltale's voice actors for S&M were better than Hit the Road? I don't know why but I think Sam's voice is way better than Sam's Hit the Road voice although I like Max's voice in Hit the Road I think Telltale's voice actor for Max is better.

    You aren't but people are clingy to the ways things used to be rather then actually caring about whether anything is good.

    Not in the least. I love Hit the Road but the TT voices are the definitive ones for me now.

    HD remake of Sam and Max would be awesome. Game is unplayably ugly on a screen these days.

    Awesome if true. They did the near impossible with System Shock 2, so I will err on the side of optimism.

    So, I'm sure this picture has absolutely nothing to do with future plans for something.

    Actually, knowing Night Dive, it probably IS nothing.

    Hopefuly there taking it to a hole to bury it so one one has to play that stupid aimless game. There is only ONE thing good about that game.

    Their facebook cover photo has been a teaser toward that game for a while now.

    I think I remember making a suggestion once about how a HD Hit the Road could work before.

    I wonder what Hit the Road would look like if the remake tried to make everything look like Steve Purcell drew it (basically if everything was remade to look like an animated version of his coloured comics).

    I still stick by what I said back then.

    So...Night Dive said they had plans to re-release some more classics, possibly in the coming weeks even. How likely do you think it is that we'll be seeing some LucasArts titles?

  • GibbeynatorGibbeynator

    I think it's obvious that GOG has something planned for their five-year anniversary. Night Dive's future releases could coincide with this. However, it could easily just be "Night Dive and Gamepot will be working together to bring Wizardry 1-5 to GOG and Steam".
