Who the hell makes graphical adventures in this day and age?

[Taisen]

Pendulo Studios' Runaway: A Road Adventure has had quite an adventure these past few years. Originally developed in early 2001, the game has already been released in various parts of Europe, where it has been a hit with the gaming press. More than two years later, the game is finally coming to North American shores, courtesy of Tri Synergy. We recently got our hands on a playable US beta version of Runaway....

Runaway

Lucasarts too, Remember there is a New Sam and Max, And Full Throttle coming.

[Kaiser Sigma]

Yeah, but the new Full Throttle won't be a graphical adventure, IIRC is more like an arcade...

there was a new adventure game released recently, I think it's called Syberia. anyone knows if it's any good?

[didamangi]

Wow, i don't know runaway has been released in europe, i've read the preview like 2 years ago in my local mag, and i thought it was cancel. This is good news.

Samor:
Well IIRC Syberia got good reviews, and it's out not recently, more like a year ago.

PS2 version is also available, my friend has it, he says the story is good and the puzzle is quite hard, but the controls are a pain.

didamangi, your friend told you very well about it. It uses the pre rendered backgrounds resulting in a terrific display of graphics, the puzzles are great and the story is its greatest aspect.

I will be posting an F.G.M: Syberia pretty soon

I stumble upon this news...

The murder of an underground hacker in Paris is just the beginning of this extraordinary adventure for George Stobbart and Nico Collard in the highly anticipated Broken Sword III. Powerful seismic events are shaking the world. An Ancient Conspiracy, the Secrets of the Templars, and a fiendish source of pure Evil are responsible…
From the jungles of the Congo to the deceptive calm of the English West Country, from underground pyramids in Ethiopia to gothic castles – time is running out for the Earth and only George and Nico can save it....

Yep, Broken Sword 3 is in development, i dunno if this already been posted yet, the game is title BROKEN SWORD: THE SLEEPING DRAGON, it's coming to PS2, XBOX, PC (No Gamecube??) for an October 2003 release. Check the link for sshots, and yes it's in 3D.

Good news for adventure fans

Graphical Adventures where never succesful on consoles... AFAIK, of course. They were more suitable on the pc, with mouse support.

and I-Chan is right you can count on your fingers games in this style released in the 16-bit era. they're PC games.

I like graphical adventures, and they really are PC games.
But it has been some time since I saw a good aventure game. But the old ones are great

My favourite genre.

Another one which is quite new is Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths.
Its not too bad.

[Prafull]

I played both syberia and post mortem some months ago. I think these are the last new games that will work decently on my specs.

And yes they are from same company.

I enjoyed syberia more coz it was much more beautiful. Here are few random shots that I took while playing syberia.
