Adventure Gamers has a pretty extensive preview/interview article up as of yesterday.


LINK please.

(I'm just absolutely too lazy to be bothered to search for it...)

(FULL DISCLOSURE: Even then, I might not even read it.)


Here you go

Kind of funny considering all the hate KQ5 gets on AG, and yet he talked about how well that one holds up (to fans who actually get the series.)

How much does it pain you that you can't point that out over there right now?

Not enough cock-sucking in this thread.  If you don't watch it, I'm going to perma-ban all of you.  This is your only warning.

Lambonius...Rarely has our moderating team encountered a forumite as consistently unpleasant as you, and you've burned through far more chances than you deserved.

They'll never invest in or make a KQ like we used to know and love, so once I accepted that - I could look at this differently and say, "Cool.  I'll check it out."

the market is out there - but it's not large enough for a publisher like Activision.

When will this website be Netscape 4.0 compliant?

And what about Mosaic compliance?  I keep searching Alta Vista, but to no avail...   :(

Dude, webcrawler is way better!

Bt, my freaking Urologist should have known.  Why it took migraine headaches to get to the bottom of my kidney stone recurrence beats the heck out of me.  But yes, I have an appointment today to look at the parathyroid scans I got done last week and hopefully we will be able to schedule surgery.

I think you are correct there except for the fact that the raw numbers indicate how well known a specific title may be.  If anything KQ is a full a cup as apposed to "a big, milk-heavy teat hanging down from on high."

Your assumption here is terrible.  Sorry, but it is.  I would agree that it was a HUGE part of the market.  But, of the households that were in the market, the demographics were very similar.  This means it was easier to have games that appealed to the market as a whole.  By contrast, the market now is very different.  Also, if 100% of the market loved KQ, and the market grows 10 fold, then 10% of the market now was in that original group.  As the market expanded, they didn't go back and play the old favorites.  That is why the sales of KQ are heaviest with KQ7 and KQ8 (even though those games were not the best, or close to it).  I would assume a very small slice of today's market even knows what KQ is.  You know, like those guys from PAX who couldn't remember Matt Korba's last name, or GRAHAM's name for that matter.

The name "King's Quest" is a big, milk-heavy teat hanging down from on high, with the Odd Gentlemen's fingers tightly wrapped around its raw nipple, as Activision impatiently waits with open slathering mouth below.

You over estimate the name.  The series as a whole sold 7 million games, TOTAL.  Nothing to write home about in today's market.  Yes, it is the top name in adventure gaming, but face it, we are a niche audience.

Yeah, it turns out it has nothing to do with what I eat/drink.  I have a glad that is releasing too much hormones causing my bones to release too much calcium.  Good thing we caught it otherwise I would have ended up with osteoporosis as well as other health issues.

You would hope they would go the new grim fandango route for PC controls at least.  Let the consoles have their controls and add the mouse cursor for PC.  I get that it is being made as a console game, but they can relatively easily add the extra PC controls.

Chadly, the urologist has no clue what he is doing.  It took me going to my internal doc about migraine headaches to get to the bottom of it.  Turns out I need to  have an out of whack parathyroid gland removed.  Like I said, we think we know the cause (11 years after the first stone).

Tastes like them too...I mean uh, no it doesn't. 

I should post some good close-ups so you can see the sharp jagged edges.
