January 30, 200521 yr Sam & Max: back from the dead? German developer Bad Brain dances around rumors that it will take over development of the cult favorite; official news due next week. Staffers at German startup developer Bad Brain entertainment Ltd. laughed their way through a brief phone conversation today, confirming they would be posting news of their first major game assignment on Monday. What exactly is that game? According to reports, Bad Brain has signed an agreement with LucasArts to take over development Sam & Max Freelance Police. When presented with the story the staffer did not confirm or deny the news, simply saying, "We will post news on our Web site Monday." The sequel to the 1993 cult favorite Sam & Max Hit the Road, Freelance was being internally developed at LucasArts until last March, when it was unceremoniously canceled. Fans of the whimsical original cried foul, and created online petitions calling for work to resume on the sequel. When contacted by GameSpot, LucasArts reps declined to comment on the game's status. Today's news, while short on specifics, should be fleshed out with additional data from Bad Brain next week. :cool: Smile

Unfortunately, according to a statement on the bad brain website by the company's CEO: "I didn't tell Gamespot anything like what they wrote. They called me at night and asked me about the news posted on Aventuraycia. I told them that there will be an offical [sic] statement on monday [sic]. Well after that call I decided to post the statement earlier (saturday) [sic]."
