Old news... and I have already seen pictures of it at gamespot.com for the PS2.

man, that sucks

[Oliver]

You can say that again... :-\

2 things.
Sierra, and Al Lowe should be involved. Al Lowe is the creator. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING! He was the one that gave us all the laughs. The jokes in this one just wont be the same.

Still, I will buy it if I can. Its still a Leisure Suit Larry game, so why not. I just think it should have been made by Al Lowe and Sierra.

[Eero Ränik]

I agree, Al Lowe should be involved... Jokes just won't be the same without him.

[Kon-Tiki]

Check out Al's site He is involved, but probably just so that Sierra'll be able to put his name on the box. Smells like another KQ8 to me.

[mr-t]

the story actually sounds pretty cool, i hope it doesn't suck like kq8 :-\

[Eero Ränik]

He stated:
"Currently, I am in the process of negotiations with Vivendi Universal Games and my involvement with the next installment of the Leisure Suit Larry. Once we have reached an agreement I will be able to comment more on my involvement."
And:
"November 21, 2003
Three weeks have passed. Not even an email from Sierra. Stay tuned to this page."
So he probably isn't involved...

A new leisure suite Larry game without Larry is more like a new Space Quest game without Roger Wilco.


I think Sierra is going to ruin its adventure games.

Yeah, but don't forget, it's not the same Sierra that released the original games. It's part of Vivendi now, and Vivendi is killing Sierra's rep.

Of course! I am not going to buy this game untill this game gets excellent reviews or posts.

Come on guys! It's not Sierra's fault that there aren't too many adventure games being commercially developed, it's because the genre generally doesn't sell as well anymore, and companies can't be putting millions of dollars into a project that will likely make a tenth the profit as another project with the same investment.

I myself am just happy to see they are making another adventure game!

The reason it's not the 40+ year old Larry is simply because they want to try to appeal to a larger audience, which in turn would make more profit. There's nothing wrong with them making more profit, because the more they make, the more chance of a Leisure Suit Larry 9, or even a new Space Quest!

You can't blame huge companies like Vivendi for not putting down a couple million dollars on a game that just a small community of loyal fans wants. They need to put down their cash on something that will have streets filled with fans waiting for it's release. Thousands of fans isn't enough, they need half a million, minimum!

[sonneveld]

considering some of us still play/make old agi games certainly shows the bar isn't very high. I don't think we'd need a million dollar game for us to play it.
