"Brand-new, original game."

LucasArts plans to pull back the curtain on a completely new game this Friday, if a pair of Tweets are to be believed.

"LucasArts will announce a brand-new original game on this week's [GameTrailers TV] - with first footage. More details soon. (watch it)," Tweeted GTTV host Geoff Keighley, soon echoed by LucasArts (tracked by Blues News).

The GameTrailers TV show airs on Spike TV at 12.30 am on Thursday night / Friday morning. Keep an eye on the GTTV website for the scoop.

What could it be?

A point and click adventure.

I would like to see a remake of The Eidolon on iPhone or handheld device.

If it's anything like their last IP, Fracture, they can shove it up their a*se.

I want a new point and click! Given that the genre is now officially back from the dead (Sam and Max, TOMI, Vampyre Tale, Ceville, Dreamfall, SOMI:SE, Wallace and Gromit, Strong Bad, Broken sword remake, ASnother Code), it would make sense for them to return to it. Let's see the old masters showing the new upstarts how it's done

Would be nice, a straight up remake with online support for XBLA would do me.

I'd say it's "Lucidity". There were rumors at the beginning of July about this being a new LA title.

Further proof:

Lucidity achievement list popped up this week:
[link url=http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/lucidity/a chievements/

LucasArts placed some clues in photos from the PAX event which seem to fit with the reported game details. Like this one:

Just about to post what F1r3storm posted.

The game to be announced is believed to be Lucidity, a puzzle/adventure game for XBLA and possibly PSN.

This is supposedly a leaked screenshot of some variety. If so, the art style is very different from anything Lucasarts has farted out for a long time.

Unfortunately for Lucasarts, the old masters now work at Telltale, Double Fine and Hothead. =P

How about that next-gen Indiana Jones game we were all expecting, back from when LA demoed the Euphoria prototypes?

We're probably not getting that, but if we are... that would be a huge chunk of awesome.

Sarcasm: Yes I think we can all agree that there has never been a decent Star Wars game. Especially not recently, not at all. Lets all hate Lucasarts together. How dare they! Wouldnt we all be better off if they never made any Star Wars games ever again?

"m taking the occasion to rant against XBLA and the fact that there is absolutely NO technical barrier against making the games on there available on PC, which is not happening and not going to happen."

There's no technical reasons..

but:

a) pc development is a pain in the backside (compatibility problems between different hardware and the like)
b) pc gamers tend to prefer getting their games for free off mininova... So why bother with the effort of porting to the pc, when it wont sell.. and will actually eat into your xbla sales because people would prefer to pirate the pc version...

As much as I'd love a TIE Fighter remake for modern consoles, part of the appeal of the game is its ridiculous complexity. There's no way to replicate the 100 keyboard commands on an xbox controller in real time. If they do remake it, it'd basically be online Rogue Squadron. No terrible thing, but not TIE Fighter.

It's a point&click adventure. Why do you think they were testing the waters with the Steam releases?

Negatives on the pc pirating comment?

Okay.. Im sure you're all totally correct.. the games industry didnt stop making pc games because it was a pain in the backside to do and that so many people pirate pc games it's just not worth the money developing them.

I'm sure there's other reasons..

@fa�lnor :

a) As the pc has millions of different hardware configurations, ATI and nvidia cards, etc .. You'd know if you'd ever made a pc game what a pain in the backside it is to make sure a game works on all of them. So dont lecture me on something you seem to know nothing about.

b) pc piracy would eat into xbla sales. Even WITH a steam release. No ifs or buts about it.

No, no, no - you're all missing the point.

The game is called 'revelation' - can't you people read the bloody headline?

Personally - if i went indie i'd go to the iphone or similar.

PC development is a pain in the butt unless you have LOADS of pcs to test the game on at your disposal. Trust me, i've been there. Then watch as you get 100 times more illegal downloads than sales - and sob as all your hard work is just ripped off by everyone.

dunno what htis all has to do with lucasarts though.

do they realise that anything starwars related doesn't actually count as Brand-new or original?

I'm not really pushing the boat out here, nor would it be a "brand new, original game", but I'd like a new Gladius. Loved that.
