Sierra Games announces new King's Quest and Geometry Wars - Polidicks

[url]http://venturebeat.com/2014/08/12/die-triangles-sierra-is-back-with-new-kings-quest-and-geometry-wars/[/url] [quote]The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom developer The Odd Gentlemen are producing the new King’s Quest game. It is a fully “reimagined” take on the original series, according to Activision. The publisher promises that The Odd Gentlemen comprises a number of fans of the King’s Quest franchise. The studio intends to capture the same combination of difficult puzzles and engaging narrative as the originals. The adventure title is due out in 2015 for unspecified platforms — although the company notes it will release its software on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Steam. While we wait for King’s Quest, we can all shoot some shapes in Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions. Studio Lucid Games, which has produced a small number of mobile games, is taking on the latest entry in the popular shooter franchise. Dimensions will feature a single-player campaign with 50 different challenges in addition to 10 different battle modes. The game is due out this holiday, but Sierra once again didn’t mention any release platforms by name — but it is coming to “more platforms than ever before.”[/quote] So Activition Blizzard restored Sierra Games to be an indie publisher.

[QUOTE=Telepethi;45668938]I wanted Evil Genius 2 god damn it[/QUOTE] Do they even still own the IP?

Does this mean there are people from Bizarre Creations at Sierra?

[QUOTE=RichyZ;45670485]they dont but its not gonna stop people from being willfully ignorant[/QUOTE] but what about the new evil genius facebook game or w/e it is?? that's gonna be [I]so[/I] much fun!!! [editline]12th August 2014[/editline] oh shit it's already out

I really hope the new Kings Quest DRM methods still include having to look in the instruction manual to progress in the game.

[QUOTE=NiandraLades;45669064]Was there anyone actually asking for more King's Quest games[/QUOTE] Yeah. Me. And plenty of other fans of old adventure games.

So about the new King's Quest being a "comical, fully reimagined reboot that appeals to both older and modern gamers", it's gotten me a wee bit worried. What do they plan on changing from the previous games?
