Good question. There's a huge difference between the two.

So, it's likely that this is LucasArts putting their older games on Steam/XBLA/PSN.

They said it has nothing to do with any specific IP, not just a new one.

So it's either multiple new games (not likely), or multiple old ones.

epmode · Jul 6, 2009

SCUMMVM makes it really easy to play the old adventure games (Grim Fandango/Escape excluded) but I'd love a tweaked X-Wing or TIE Fighter or whatever with support for modern systems.

jakonovski · Jul 6, 2009

Gaming companies really like announcing upcoming announcements. Pimp my game!

twinturbo2 · Jul 6, 2009

Old adventure games on Steam? Why not? VOOK called it.

Still, an X-Wing VS. TIE Fighter game from the Ace Combat team would be nice. Yoda and Vader in Soulcalibur IV can't be the only thing from a Lucasarts/Namco relationship...

RSTEIN · Jul 6, 2009

Tie Fighter/X-Wing/Tie vs. X-Wing on XBLV would be instant purchase

If I can use my Ace Combat 6 stick, yes, please.

Link1110 · Jul 6, 2009

Well, I hope it's not Steam if anything. If they put them on GOG.com, they could sell the old games, yet still have them compatible with all the various ScummVM ports out there.

Steam doesn't preclude SCUMMVM compatibility. SCUMMVM doesn't even care about the executable, which is the only thing that a Steam release alters vs. a retail release.

That sounds quite feasible and very much welcome

Pyrokai · Jul 6, 2009

I think I actually want the Steam thing more than anything else. I've never played any of the classic Lucas Arts games and would KILL to have them so I don't have to mess around with ScummVM or anything. Plus I like legitimately owning games

Fingers crossed!

holy shit, if they did this.. and if they had a LucasArts MegaPack.. I'd buy the living shit out of that.

Monkey islands, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, etc.

Lafazar · Jul 6, 2009

I'll be heartbroken if they bring their games to steam but not to gog.com. But I doubt the GOG people would NOT twitter about this, and so far it doesn't look like it:

If they just made them HD, I'd buy every single one. Curse of Monkey Island looks dreadful on this monitor, it's stretched to hell.

Well, if they re-release X-Wing and TIE Fighter with proper joystick support (could never get all three axis's working right in DOSBox), I'd rebuy them both day 1. Just need to be the iMuse versions though... but let's be honest, that ain't happening.

Darklord said:

Re-releasing old games in HD to be perfect replicas of the earlier versions practically costs more than making new games. That will never happen. At best you'll get more of what happened with Monkey Island Special Edition, where all the artwork is redone in a different style.

Curse of Monkey Island runs perfect windowed, just do that. Or go to your video card options and manually adjust it not to scale fullscreen.

Koomaster · Jul 6, 2009

I would love if they brought back the Afterlife IP and started making new games in the series every couple years!

there have been some MegaPacks in Europe already... i own this one:

http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00004TOLA/

MI 1+2, Indy 3+4, Maniac Mansion, Zac McKracken, Loom, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max and Indy Desktop Adventures... guess this was Germany only.

and there was:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0011DXUAC/

with Sam & Max, Grim Fandango, The Dig and Full Throttle... this one seems UK only.

Let's see what will be announced. I would be happy with some HD versions of the old games, like Monkey Island... especially The Dig and Full Throttle, never player those 2.

Looks like the rumor mill is pretty silent on the Steam Forums as well:

My guess is re-releases for consoles only and/or iPhone...

ClovingWestbrook · Jul 6, 2009

The question is will it be announced via twitter or what?
