Again I wouldnt mind if this was a game INSPIRED by KQ but not with the title.
That could be any adventure game that came after KQ.
This new game is using the characters, story and world of the original game. It is KQ, not some inspired spin off. This isn't taking a supporting character and giving them their own game. It is Graham, it is Daventry, it is KQ.
When books are made into movies, they keep the title. Sometimes they do a fantastic job (Lord of the Rings), and sometimes they don't (The Hobbit - up for debate, but I think it is terrible). In making movies based on books or comics, changes get made to the characters, the story, etc. But at the end of the day, the book and the movie are two different ways of telling the same story. Typically, people like whichever they read/see first more than the other one.I believe it is possible for both to be excellent. It doesn't have to be one or the other. The same MIGHT be true for KQ. It is possible that the new game, although different in mechanics can in fact tell the same story in a new way that works. And, if we want the stories to live on, as Shawn said, a newer audience must be created. The game has to work for them, not just adventure game purists. As I mentioned earlier, if a new game draws them in and sparks an interest in the story and the original games, it can't be bad for the games. We may never have another classic point and click KQ adventure, and that is sad, but that doesn't make the new KQ game terrible or wrong or anything else. I will wait and see.
