LucasArts announcement coming today
Written on July 6, 2009 by Matt
Twitter is currently aflame with guesses flying back and forth on LucasArt’s announcement of an even bigger announcement, due this Monday (which is today, for us Australians). Although at first it was insisted that no hints would be dropped, something about getting inundated with hundreds of @ messages seems to have opened up information a little, to the point of:
Okay, we will do hints. It is awesome news for our old school fans. (anything more direct might get me in trouble)
-@LucasArtsGames, via Twitter
So, given that we also know the announcement isn’t anything to do with any new series, we’re obviously looking at an updated version of a classic LucasArts game. For my money I’d love something new for Day Of The Tentacle, but realistically it could be anything from Full Throttle: Special Edition to episodic Indiana Jones games. Anyway, we shouldn’t have to wait long to find out what the fuss is about, but kudos to LucasArts for using Twitter to ignite such a speculation-storm.
View their Twitter feed to sift through the hints and guesses. Apparently several people are dengerously close to guessing correctly, so see what you make of it.
UPDATE AN HOUR LATER: Apparently we’ll know in 12 hours, but someone on Twitter has guessed the announcement “dead on”. Not surprising really with the quantity of guesses. I’m hoping it’s this one: “RT @mhaley A Kingdom of the Crystal Skull game built entirely in SCUMM, but without the infamous refrigerator scene“. Could we get the jungle vine scene cut while we’re at it?
