So... anyone has any notion when this announcement will take place... it's been the 20th for a while now!

I'm mixed on this... on the one hand, yay Jane Jensen. On the other hand, I heard TSL was a bad game (despite being a labour of love and so on). Too late to support it either way though, but I'm glad it's funded.

Rumour has it 10am Utah time...

Under a Killing Moon. Such good memories of this game.

The third CD-ROM game my father bought me, after Rebel Assault and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Being 13 and playing this game in 94 was such an amazing experience. Even then I could see and feel all the cheese and camp, but it was glorious.

I'm quite eager to see an older, more experienced and jaded Tex Murphy. Filled to the brim with cheese, of course.

EmSeta · (03-20-2012, 09:25 PM)

So what's going on with this?

It will be interesting to see what a HD FMV game looks like.
I still haven't played any of the Tex Murphy games. I really should play them before their kickstarter campaign starts.

B_Rik_Schitthaus · (03-20-2012, 10:58 PM)

Old Tex fits the style well.

maquiladora · (03-20-2012, 10:59 PM)

Nice. Still a ways before it starts but this is great news.

mattiewheels · (03-20-2012, 11:05 PM)

YEESSSSSS

That's a while to wait though, feel warm inside nonetheless.

DieH@rd · (03-20-2012, 11:06 PM)

Great news. I wait eagerly for more info and start of kickstarter campaign.

EmSeta · (03-20-2012, 11:11 PM)

May 15? All right then.

mattiewheels · 11:22 PM

I love how he's reading the current issue of people, even though it looks like a 1999 fmv. Just to prove its real, ha.

DieH@rd · (03-20-2012, 11:30 PM)

It was added today. Marketing move? Crazy fan reaction?

thekonamicode · (03-20-2012, 11:47 PM)

I would kickstart the shit out of this.

Yep, let's just hope it doesn't end up like Auditorium 2: Duet looks like it will.

Xander51 · (03-20-2012, 11:51 PM)

I am so in.

megalowho · (03-21-2012, 12:22 AM)

Bring on old Tex!!

Digoman · (03-21-2012, 12:36 AM)

Crap. I have no idea if it is feasible to do one of these games on a kickstarter budget, what the chances of being good, etc, and I'm trying to be cautious with this wave of projects.

Doesn't matter. They got my money. For Tex!

raebodep · (03-21-2012, 12:41 AM)

great news. I love the series.

obonicus · (03-21-2012, 12:51 AM)

Wait, Aaron Conners was behind the Amped 3 story?

Yup.

Holy shit yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mclem · (03-21-2012, 01:42 AM)

It's crossed my mind that I've not really got any idea what sort of cost FMV has these days because, well, no-one really does it any more. I'm assuming HD cranks the cost up but I'd also imagine that using actual actors drops it right down (even if the sets are - presumably - virtual). It's a damn sight easier to animate a person, and you get the lipsync for free!

I'd guess that they'll go for a figure somewhere between DFA and Wasteland. My gut's saying 750k.

(Also, one - probably high - tier *has* to come with a fedora)

jett · (03-21-2012, 01:51 AM)

I've never played these games, but I wanna. Where do I start?

In terms of order of release, Mean Streets is first. In terms of playability, though, it's probably best to dive straight in at Under A Killing Moon.

Kagari · (03-21-2012, 02:03 AM)

They have my money for sure :0

subversus · (03-21-2012, 02:08 AM)

50-100$ is my pledge.

Best year in gaming ever.

DOBERMAN INC · (03-21-2012, 02:18 AM)

My money is now your money.

cj_iwakura · (03-21-2012, 02:23 AM)

I will support this.

FMV GAMING!

LIVE AGAIN!

bloodydrake · (03-21-2012, 02:30 AM)

I'm stunned..absolutely stunned..its like a Renaissance of Classic PC gaming.
I'm in. all the way! Simply fantastic.

Ignis Fatuus · (03-21-2012, 03:10 AM)

I wonder what kind of budget they'll ask for.

Medalion · (03-21-2012, 03:18 AM)

Good to be back in business

AdrianWerner · (03-21-2012, 04:10 AM)
