New Full Throttle hint 21 Jul, 2001 / Comments: 16

By DJG


The LucasArts website has been updated with new Galactic Battlegrounds screenshots and a new designer diary about that game. And, interestingly enough, a hint for the original classic Full Throttle has been added to the page. It's nice to see LucasArts give some attention to their classics, eh?

    Well, LEC said they would be doing a lot more of original titles for next E3. But nobody mentioned ADVENTURE GAMES. A "Full Throttle 2," if it is being made at all, would most probably be a motorcycle racing game.

    That's a completely ludicrous thought, IMO. The sequel to Full Throttle will certainly be an adventure.

    I don't think it's so ludicrous. After all, the first game had a lot of action arcade elements in it. If LucasArts were to do a sequel, I can see them using more of a mix between adventure and action.

    Yeah, obviously. Action/Adventure is what I'm expecting too. But maclaine said the game would probably be a pure racing game and that, to me, sounds VERY unlikely.

    But with an Action/Adventure I mean a game like FT, not like Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.

    But this reminds me.. How is Roy Conrad doing nowadays? Didn't he fave a cancer? I can't imagine anyone but him contributing the voice for Ben.

    I thought i heard he was better, but i might be wrong. Its either that or hes dead.

    http://us.imdb.com/Name?Conrad,+Roy He doesnt seem to be dead, he just did voice work for Titan AE. but who knows.
  • telarium on 23 Jul, 2001, 16:29…
    Keep in mind that for films like Titan AE, the voices are recorded up to four years prior to the film's release. I was told by someone pretty reliable that Mr. Conrad passed away, but I haven't confirmed that yet. It's a shame... I hope everyone sent him a "well wishes" card.

    I really, REALLY hope it is FT2 thy're creating right now. Full Throttle is definitely one of their finest moments so far. The atmosphere of the game is worth the price alone. :)

    Yes, I guess the adventure game that is currently in development at LucasArts is Full Throttle 2.
  • PTDC on 22 Jul, 2001, 23:10…
    If they do make a FT2 they should include the original as was done with DOTT and MM because FT is so hard to find these days :)

    I think that they are going to make a sequal to Full Throttle. It did leave a opening at the end. Ben returned as a biker and Mo got her fathers company. They want to write about whats next.
