LucasArts officially confirms Lucidity

As promised, GameTrailersTV confirmed the existance of a new internally developed game from LucasArts earlier this morning and it turns out it's a game which got its reveal leaked a couple of months ago. It's called Lucidity and it's apparently coming to both the PC and Xbox Live Arcade platforms in downloadable format.

As described and shown on the show, the game is a 2D combination of a side scroller and a puzzle game. The main character Sophie runs through the levels with an art style that reminds you of a children's book. The catch? You are not actually controlling Sophie; she runs from point A to point B of her own free will. You have to make sure she gets to point B by solving puzzles that enable her to reach her destination. Apparently the game will be released on Xbox Live Arcade later this month but there's no word on when the PC version will be released.

This is what the adventure game genre truly needs. The graphic design in this game is just far beyond any video games current story telling capabilities alone, this game already shows a certain quality about it absent in most other genres, if not all genres. The atmosphere and life it gives to it's focused genre walks other most contributions to recent genres from different titles. Beautiful artistic style going on here that Lucas Arts should be proud of! From what little we see Lucas Arts already is proving that it can be the BOSS of story telling and adventure games. If Lucas Arts goes through with this then it's going to revive the adventure game genre FULL FORCE.

Nothing else comes close to the atmosphere and intellectual creative settings in this game. Nothing out there, these screens are very intellectual and creative, ingenious design. You can already see that this game is perfect for the genre it's intended for and BY FAR exceeds other genres in intellectual story telling, this is by far a more conscious and comprehensive effort in story telling, by far more intellectual then any 3D shooter or any other sort that's come out as of late.

This game has my utter excitement, you can tell already that it's solid and well thought out. This is an innovative and brilliant idea to bring back intellectual adventure/puzzle solving games.

Not only is this purely an adventure game by first sight but it takes the genre to a whole new level that rivals far above most current genres of video gaming.

There's good games and then there's masterpieces titles that can redefine a genre for decades, this game looks like a masterpiece classic in the works.Posted at 9:06PM on Sep 11th 2009 by brian
