i sure hope they arn't just porting a game, thats not anything big or cool, it happens all the time. damn well be somethihng cool, for the PC that is. Sequel or not, i just want something new, !GOOD!, cool, fun, for the PC

I think it's something to do with Grim Fandango. Anyone else remember the part where Manny is asked to "use" the giant kitty litter box? THAT is the sound he makes. From the context used, I'm not getting my hopes up; I'm guessing they're just porting it. However, a full-fledged sequel would be great if they do it

WHY a sequel to Grim? The game was brilliant, sure, but I can't see how a sequel would work. In fact, I'd be the first in line to sign an anti-Grim2 petition =)

I'd be right behind you!

ARGHH. Stop talking about Sam & Max 2's and Maniac Mansion 3's. I WANT MORE ORIGINAL GAMES!!!!!!!!! =)

I'm with ya, but Sam & Max 2 would be nice anyhow. ;)

Hey, I was just thinking. Who knows, LEC might go a little out there and have made a Star Wars adventure game. Could be Jabba's laugh. Or is that really clutching at nothing?

At the time Grim was in production a SW graphic adventure was being considered. It was once mentioned in an interview on GameSpot. Personally, I don't think it's a bad idea. But there is a real anti-Star Wars vibe going on these days with LucasArts producing so many Star Wars games so it would be a bad idea PR-wise :)

Its clearly Emi. When you put run emi on the main menu it goes Hoo-hoo-hoo-he-he-he-he haw haw haw-haaaaw HOO hoo hoo. But I could still be wrong.

Mannnn, I don't want to have to go out and buy a Playstation 2 if it's Maniac Mansion 3. I seriously want it to be another sequel to Maniac Mansion but I want it to be true to the story*(Cough)(Cough)(Monkey 3 and 4)(NOT). I read the article posted earlier. Monkey 3 is my favorite cause of the art style but it my eye Monkey 3 and 4 were just fan games. Seriously funded fan games with great programmers, but without Ron Gilbert on the case, it wasn't the same. where was i. oh yea. MANIAC MANSION 3!

I was told a long time ago that EMI was probably going to be made for PS2. I'm surprised that people are surprised. :)

I was more or less expecting it. I didn't know which console though.

It's a monkey's laugh. There's no doubt in my mind that it's EMI.

i also ment to mention that they better not pull a ob-wan thing and piss us off again, get our hopes up and take it away, thats like giving a kid a ice cream cone and after a couple licks takeing it away. Or like giving a dog a sniff of a dog cookie then taking it away, your just asking to be bitten!

Well, it damn well better be something good and cool. I'm talking about something good and cool for the PC. Could be Max's laugh? I hope it is something like a new Sam & Max game, but that probably wont happen. I hope they make something for the PC that is good, Like a new Sam & Max 3d adventure game, that has a multiplayer mode thing as an extra add on or a second disc, the adventure game on one cd ant the multiplayer on the second cd. So you can play online, to extend the playability and longitivity of the game. Eh? damn cool!!

It could be maniac mansion 3, considering that maniac mansion 1 was on NES and it did very well. I am really hoping for a maniac mansion 3!!!

I think it's a bad idea to put a LucasArts adventure game on PS2. For a number of reasons - 1. I don't have a PS2!!!!!!!!!! :( 2. I don't plan on getting a PS2... :( 3. It would be the first adventure game put on a PS or any console for that matter, apart from PC, for a long time. Noteing this, it could either bring the status of Adventure Games up, or LucasArts could be wasting there time making a game that won't be very popular. In any case, seeing as it is a risky chance, I say be safe and make another Adventure Game on PC, as they know lots of people want more LucasArts Adventures on the computer! Well, that's my 2 cents for the day anyway, :)

Actually, Revolution's Broken Sword series was a huge hit on consoles and the console versions sold much better than the PC ones.

I couldn't disagree more. This may be a historic moment. Who knows what this might trigger? Besides EMI sales are exceeding expectations everywhere. They can afford a port.

yeah true could be a monkey sound - either way - EMI still :P

why doesnt the signiture work?

Only in the forum, not in the news comments...

Maybe its a caugh?

The first time I saw that hint, I immediately thought it was a monkey sound, you know, like Timmy or something. But like everyone else said, who knows.

looked like a monkey noise to me

It's Monkey Kombat - the game. Arrgh!!!

thats true however, EMI is when you think about it, the easiest game to port to ps2, that or grim, as you have to run about instead of point and click to move right? and seeing as EMI has just come out and grim is 2 years old i deduce EMI. but you are right it could be anyhting :P even luftwaffe 2001 3d :P

I belive that Bret Mogilefsky said that it would be really difficult to poty Grim to consoles. I'm guessing the same thing goes for EMI, but who knows...

but does murray ever say Hohoho-hehehe-hawhawhaw? i though his laugh was "Muahahahaha". i stick by my choice for P. Tentacle & Maniac Mansion3.

I think it sounds rather like LeChuck's demonic laughing than like Murray!

Just being skeptical, but how do we know it's EMI? It could very well be CMI, or even both!

That laugh could very easily be Purple Tentacle. no? I doubt they would port a several year old game to the PS2. and since its a "new" game, im hoping they mean completely new, not just newly released.

Is that really an evil laugh?
