The Dig is an interesting game. The finished product has some good moments to it, but never meshed with any of the other Lucas stuff that was being released at the time.

I remember reading about the development history and it is FASCINATING, there were grand desires behind The Dig that never really came to fruition, and well..it's one of the B-sides with regards to Lucas' adventure games, or at least, that's the public perception.

If they went back to it, I would be curious enough to check it out. Present the goods Disney, my wallet's ready.

I really, really hope this turns out to be true. The Dig is one of my all-time favorites, so playing another version of that base idea would be amazing.

Read the book when it came out and loved it, had no idea there was a game until I saw the back insert. Was interested but never played this.

The game is on Steam and GOG, any laptop/PC should be able to run it just fine. Aussming you haven't played it yet

The person claiming it's true: thrustworthy

Nice that you like him that much, but do you trust him?

On a more serious note, this would be incredible if true.

Wasn't it originally supposed to be a movie but would have been to expensive? I'm pretty sure that was the marketing narrative back in the day at least...

It was originally an idea Spielberg had for a TV show/miniseries, but he thought it would be too expensive to make. He then wanted it to become a Lucasarts adventure games because his son was a big fan of them and he played those games with him. He didn't do much work on the project beyond giving them the basic concept though, and I don't know if Spielberg would be willing to go back to that idea again (or if he even really remembers it).

That's one of the reasons that makes me think that.

Very nice news. I never finished it because I encountered some weird bug that halted my progression.

Looks less and less likely given it's almost November. Any update on this?
