Wow! The art looks crazy detailed. I'm putting this on the radar.
Yay for more point 'n' click adventure games! :D
Wait, what? I thought the Pendulo guys were from Spain.Pendulo Studios today revealed the first minor details of the 3rd installment in the adventure franchise.

like wise. I wonder how they are going to get this onto the DS. Lots of compression I'd assumeOriginally Posted by Nocebo

Huh. I liked the first game but the second game kinda slipped of my radar. Was it any good?
I hope this game comes with a backstory section. My comp can run basically nothing, so I was never able to check out Runaway. Definitely looking foreward to this.
What, a Runaway game that is not built around the prominent display of oversized womanbreasts? Intriguing!
They are indeed Spanish. I interviewed them back in the day. I hope this game gets exposure; the first one (PC) was crazy good.Originally Posted by Haunted One

The main female role in the first game was HOT. And I mean it.Originally Posted by bcn-ron

Great characters, pity about the boring overdone environments.
Yes, more Runaway! I like what I see, but I already dug the art from the previous games.
Love the "running away no more, now he's after somehing". Ironic considering he's a prisoner on the pic.

From nerd to surfer dude to prisoner? Brian goes through a lot of shit.
This looks cool, although I'm disappointed this isn't a Runaways game. Alphona designs would be stunnery.
:lol He has no personality whatsoever, imo. Always dependant on the context the devs throw him into.Originally Posted by McBacon

How is Runaway on DS? I don't even know if its on in the UK...
Awesome.
Console version will not do well or we be canceled, guaranteed, judging by the art style.
But I'm excited because I have plenty of these "failures" in my collection and love them!

Yeah, has anyone bought Runaway 2 on DS yet? It's already out in Europe for a while. I've been thinking about buying it so if anyone could give me some impressions that would be appreciated.

The second game's ending was complete rubbish but I guess it means we'll be getting a third part.
I tried playing the DS version and it doesn't play too bad. A quick tap with the stylus moves Brian and dragging on the screen magnifies the environment for a closer look. This takes some time to get used to but you can also toggle highlights that show you which objects you can interact with at a glance. You can then use the D-Pad or XYAB buttons to switch between the examine and use icons.
I miss all the voice acting and high res graphics from the PC version though.

Hey, this news goes great with the retailer announced (but now vanished) Runaway: Dream of the Turtle for the Wii, coming soon, maybe.
Both Runaway games were HORRID. Horrid. Save your cash, people.
