Bedenker Sam & Max boos!

Eerder berichtten we je al dat, helaas, Sam & Max Freelance Police is gecanceld. Maar daar is de bedenker van het dynamische duo, Steve Purcell, het niet mee eens! Hij geeft aan uitermate teleurgesteld te zijn in de negatieve instelling van Lucasarts. Purcell leefde toe naar de releasedate van het spel, omdat hij het konijn en de hond gaarne in een 3D-wereld had gezien.

LucasArts’ sudden decision to stop production on Sam & Max is mystifying. Sam & Max was on schedule and coming together beautifully.

I couldn’t have been more pleased with the quality of the writing, gameplay, hilarious animation and the gorgeous 3D world that Mike Stemmle’s team has created. The rug has been pulled out from under this brilliant team who’ve so expertly retooled Sam & Max for the 21st century.

I’m extremely frustrated and disappointed especially for the team who have devoted so much effort and creativity to Sam & Max. It’s a shame to think that their accomplishments, as well as the goodwill that has been growing in the gaming press toward this project, will all go to waste due to this shortsighted decision.

Thanks everyone, for continuing to make your feelings known.
