King's Quest 9

I figured since no one has posted about this that I would get the word out. Activision is letting The Odd Gentlemen make a new King's Quest game. It is going to be number nine in the series.

Looks like they want to announce more titles by the end of the year. Maybe a Space Quest, who knows. They have a new site up and running.

I'm hoping that this will be a good game, but even if it isn't maybe activision will actually good back and update some of these games. As a side note, more people should pressure ScummVM to provide support for KQ7, since it runs these games rather smoothly.

King's Quest 9 update. Got our first trailer for the game.

The graphics look great, but the game looks like a platformer. :(

Good news. Thanks for that info!

as someone who has played almost all sierra games and all KQ games.... It looks horrible. Sorry, but I have no idea what they were thinking.

I do not mean the graphics, but the overall game seems cheap and unlike the previous games.

Also, I really don't know that KQ games fit this current gaming generation. It came, similar to most of their games, from a generation that used more keyboard than mouse to navigate the world.

Looks like the odd gentleman got a pretty decent voice acting cast.

I would have preferred a Hero's Quest 1-5 + 6 Completely remastered.
Oops, I meant Quest for Glory.

Games like these, should be child's play to remaster the entire series into one package for those who are in the profession.

That's what they should have done with this as well.
Redo all of KQ 1 through 8 updated.
Not just the EGA to VGA conversion that some already have.
Then add your KQ 9 at the end of it.
And I mean updating those graphics to have a little more fidelity to it.
This cell shaded crap is not very pleasing.

Borderlands is not successful because of it's graphics. Just so you know.
