More adventure game remakes coming from LucasArts?

by John Callaham Jun 18th 2009 @ 11:00AM

Fans of LucasArts' adventure game classics thought that that era was over when the publisher decided to cancel planned sequels to Sam and Max and Full Throttle. But during E3 LucasArts made those same fans happy again with word of an upcoming downloadable HD remake of Secret of Monkey Island and a new episodic Tales of Monkey Island series developed by Telltale Games.

So what if these games turn out to sell well? The Australian based web site WAToday quotes LucasArts community manager Brooks Brown as saying. "If this sells, there's no one at this company who doesn't want to do these games. It's a matter of showing that there's interest and this market is alive and get people as excited as possible about Monkey Island Special Edition to show that these things can make it." So if you guys buy this remake and the new series, maybe we can get some Grim Fandango-Full Throttle-Day of the Tentacle action going.
