Jim Ward huge Pirates of the Carribean Disneyland ride fan 17 Apr, 2006 / Comments: 14

Yes, yes. It has been revealed in this New York Times article (free subscription required) that LucasArts head-honcho Jim Ward is a huge fan of that Disneyland ride. Also revealed is that LucasArts won't be able to rely on Star Wars so heavily any more, and that there is a yet-unnanounced in-house Star Wars game currently being developed (possibly based on Darth Vader). And there's another Indy Jones game in the works, though that has been known for some time.

But hey, what's a Pirates of the Carribean fan to do when he's looking for non-Star Wars IP to develop at his video-game company? What indeed?

    The problem with the Monkey Island universe is that there just aren't enough ninjas.

    So he likes Monkey Island but dislikes adventure games?

    Is this worth something of interest to Monkey Island gamers?

    A Monkey Island MMO possibly?

    What about...a Monkey Island prequel?
    Does it make any sense? Monkey Island Zero?

    No?

    Monkey Island 5 is as good as released.

    It's also as good as reviewed!

    I hear it's using the Battlefront II engine. w00t!

    Mmm, lip service.

    If he does greenlight a Monkey Island game, you know darn well it isn't going to be a graphical adventure game.

    I'm almost positive it would be a game with graphics depicting adventure, with monkeys.
