Ron Gilbert — the funny, crazy, zany guy behind the Monkey Island games — has clued Computer and Video Games in with details concerning his next game. Unfortunately, those forthcoming details are pretty vague and confused at best.
"The thing I'm trying to do with the game right now is kind of meld it with an RPG," he continued, "So what you've got is the kind of large world exploration that you have in an RPG that you don't really have with an adventure game. You've got the action, some light combat, you know, Diablo-style combat going on with it, but it is also infused with really good adventure-game-style puzzles and adventure-style sensibilities to the storytelling."So what you can do there is take those puzzles and that storytelling that really appeal to people on a certain level, but you can fuse it with the kind of action and mindless play mixed in. I think you can really broaden that audience, and really get to the people who are buying and playing games today."
Now that's the sort of concise, clear vision you want to see coming from one of the industry's premier talents!
