Infamous Adventures' Space Quest II remake is really amazing. I really enjoyed it, and that's saying something, considering that Space Quest II is one of the few AGI Sierra games that I actually really like to begin with. Your team did an amazing job on that, Lambonius!

I am definitely loving Incinerations. Chris Ushko's animations and backgrounds are really quite spectacular, especially considering he did almost all of it by himself. He blew it out of the water for me, personally! I'm really enjoying the game so far!

You know, I was thinking last night about trailers and how they can sometimes be misleading (especially teaser trailers). A perfect example popped into my mind: Frozen. Before I saw Frozen in theaters, the only trailer for the movie that I had seen was this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1x76DoACB8Needless to say, I was expecting some sort of comedy movie that focused on a snowman and a reindeer. Boy, was I surprised! There is no mention of the plot at all in that trailer, and it's a scene that doesn't even happen in the movie (although a similar scenes does happen). There is no mention of Anna, Elsa, Hans, Kristoff, or any of the other principal characters in the story, and taken on its own, is quite misleading of what the film is actually going to be.
I think the new King's Quest trailer is similar. Matt Korba recently joined the Sierra Gamers group on Facebook, and posted the following message I wanted to share with everyone here:
"
Hello Everybody!
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Matt Korba the Creative Director of the new King's Quest. Thanks for having me.
I'll start off by saying KQ really is my favorite franchise of all time. One of my first gaming memories is typing "eat carrot" into a B&W version of King's Quest I, and being amazed the game actually responded.
I'll try to answer any questions I can. There are certain questions I can't answer yet due to upcoming reveals and I don't want to get anyone in trouble (myself included

). I want to do a legitimate AMA probably later on in Jan after some more details have come to light.
The new King's Quest is an episodic adventure game that focuses on the stories King Graham tells his curious granddaughter Gwendolyn. Through these stories Gwendolyn realizes the true greatness of her Grandfather. The game is not point and click in the traditional sense, but is an updated take on the formula (more details to come). You can expect puzzles, exploration, and a humor filled wondrous story.
The trailer is cut with a lot of action (hopefully I can share more about why later) but keep in mind adventure game mechanics are hard to show in a trailer without making the trailer seem slow for a wide audience. The game however is certainly not an action game and certainly not a platformer.
We are super passionate and excited to be working on this game. This is the most fun game I have ever worked on (hopefully to play too). It's a big task to bring back KQ and perhaps being a small part of a genre coming back, but hopefully everyone can tell that we are pouring our souls into the game. If this game is successful, it could show the industry that people still want games where charm, storytelling, and using your mind are at the forefront. I'll answer the questions I can in the thread below. You can always reach out to me on twitter @mattkorba, sometimes that's faster.
I can't wait to show more, reveal the music, the gameplay, the story, etc. Oh and "Your Legacy Awaits" is a marketing slug not the subtitle, that will come later. If anyone wants to help me correct all the KQ wikis that would be awesome!"
He also said in the comments that these will be new adventures with new stories, not remakes/reboot of the original games, but will still have numerous nods to the original series. He said it was not going to be an action game, like Uncharted, but an Adventure game.
I hope that this alleviates quite a bit of concern that a lot of people may have.
Talk to you later!
