New Beneath a Steel Sky game 'probably going to happen'

Charles Cecil and Dave Gibbons are returning to the good old 2D roots of adventure gaming

At last! Lets leave the bad 3D behind us and enjoy good story-lines and nice 2D graphics again!

Looks like your a glass is half full person.
I guess I'm a half empty. The way I read that was that it seemed most/all this stuff hinges on how the Director's Cuts sell.
I hope they sell well. I'll buy the Wii version. But I'm not sure they will sell "well".
I just get the impression that Revolution are done with their latest projects so everything is in the air. They have a lot of ideas. But need to get a general feel of what would be the best thing to do next.
I'd like to see the 3D games done in 2D. Stripped of all that stuff like jumping around a rock face after the plane crash at the start of BS3. I think the stories for both games are sound.
I'll cross my fingers that the DCs sell well. As it's my birthday next month maybe I can talk mum into buying it as a present and tell her the money goes to a good cause.

I wonder what I am, then. The part that stood out to me was where he calls the ScummVM people wonderful.

'fraid I've got a 'broken' glass... I'd love BS 3 & 4 in 2D but on my PC

Well since he is mentioning scummVM as a place where games get good exposure, you could cross your fingers and hope they will release a distribution sold with the scummVM users in mind? (Yup, the glass IS half full). Such a release would significantly increase the number of platforms, thus potential sales.

This is great news. I will most definitely support this possibility by buying a copy of the BS Director's Cut (and a Wii too, I suppose).

Well we already had an announcement of Simon 3D being remade. That actually never happened...

I thought that was just a fan project though, not something AdventureSoft themselves suggested.

You speak the truth, eriktorbjørn.

OK, that might raise chances quite a bit.

I hope the BS3 remake means: NO MORE F***ING CRATE MOVING PUZZLEs!

I have to disappoint you. Right now, Charles Cecil is searching for the source code of the original 1982 CGA version of Sokoban.

OK, to be honest, I was lying.
