I think so. Game has multiple sections you will only be able to access with certain characters.

All I've known about this game since its announcement is that it's by Ron Gilbert, and that was reason enough for me to get the game.
Prepurchased it through Greenmangaming and will get it on US PSN when it gets released.

I personally think the subtitle could've been 'A game by Ron Gilbert' or something along the lines.

I know you've already changed it, but for future grammar nazi reference:

Adventurers = plural ("the adventurers")
Adventurer's = something belonging to an adventurer ("the adventurer's shoes")
Aventurers' = something belonging to multiple adventurers ("the adventurers' courage")

Hopefully it'll be better written than Deathspank. I'll wait to see what you guys think of it before I pick it up. Tentatively excited, though.

Tempted to go Wii U simply so I have something new to play on the system, but I'm afraid of poor performance and Nintendo's shitty user system so I'm not sure. :\

Been a fan since the Monkey Island days. Any modern day adventure game that is created by the best of the best has my semen all over it.

Ron was asked about save games on twitter last night.

It does remember previous play throughs and does change the game in some ways, so it's not a complete delete.

I am a bit dissapointed. I was hoping for a game like the old LucasArts-Adventures. But "The Cave" looks like "Trine" or something. Which is not bad, but not what I want form Ron Gilbert.
