Looks like it could be cool. Always interested in what the Professor of Monkeyology is working on.

Just nod if you can hear me

Oh shit! Now the fact that I'm going to see Roger Waters this Saturday is starting to kick into high gear. Can't wait for it!

I went to see him around a month ago, it was out of this world, seriously it was one of the most impressive things i've ever seen, definetly the best concert that i've ever been to.

Yeah... It looks distinctly like trine meets little big planet... going back to grim fandango.

Suppose it can be fun. With them it's all about how well written it is.

Dude, get over yourself. If someone had just heard DF was making an adventure game and now there's a trailer from them with "adventure" in the title...not a huge leap to make.

@Old_Corncob: I believe they said Ron Gilbert was not working on the Kickstarter game. So if this is the game he's working on, it can't be the kickstarter game.

COOL!! Is it just me, or does this look like a stop-motion SkullMonkeys game to anyone else?

I feel like they should've wrote "This isn't the Kickstarter game." at the end of the trailer.

It's weird, but for some reason I've started feeling a sense of triumph whenever SEGA gets a good game, like Vanquish or Bayonetta or Binary Domain or this. Like "Come on guys, you can do it! People can be Sega fans again!".

@iAmJohn: I am of the deplorable persuasion of not memorising everything I may or may not have read months ago. Shame on me. I don't even know who Ron Gilbert is really, something to do with his games being released before I was born; still, no excuse.

And I'll go out on a limb and guess that more people have heard of their Kickstarter success, rather than The Cave. I know this isn't that game, took about 15 second of reading the comments, it's just condescending to blame people for making that connection, and wanting clarification; condescension is almost as useful though.

For the record, I too totally thought this was a trailer for the Kickstarter game, having read nothing about it and seeing the word "Adventure" right there in the video title.

I've played Death Spank, I don't think we should be giving Ron Gilbert any more money. The pointed stick of pointedness, the sharp spear of sharp..OK I GET IT RON, CHILL.

well I laughed. Your comment seems to have gone now. Shame.

Maybe the fact that nobody is talking about the content is telling. This trailer doesn't seem to tell us much. I guess it's sort of like Metroid meets Maniac Manison?

The sound is good, but I'm growing quite tired of this style of overly smooth and whimsical 3D animation.

This doesn't look very much like an adventure game. I know we've played fast and loose with the name of this genre in the past, but this seems a little more faster and a little more looser.

I really like the look of this game. It looks a lot like a Twisted Pixel game, and they are an awesome company. I also love Double Fine forever because of the games that they have given the world, namely Brutal Legend and Psychonaughts. Double Fine has that odd sense of humor that makes a gaming experience far more fun.

If this game has an ounce of Brutal Legend's hilarity, I am most certainly in.

I am going to stay excited about this game due to pedigree, but, to quote Panpipe, "Christ this looks generic". I suspect this is a poor trailer. Holding judgement for a Quick Look.

@I_smell: Kinda.. more like updated ODDWORLD if you ask me :) but yes it def has that look

----

YAY SEGA bringing some originality ... I was surprised when i saw SEGA the second time i watched this, i skipped to the gameplay the first time until i read the comments.

I feel the same way about SEGA.. but they better get their act together because they have been going down-hill

that suppose to be a burn...? Oddworld's awesome and Tim & Ron crafted classics one by one during their time in Lucasarts, so it's a good combination. In theory.

Doesn't look like it does anything different from other 2D puzzle platformers nor have the charm of a DF game. I'll give them the benefit of doubt though until we see more.

I doubt this is, Because this has the SEGA logo in the bumper, and also because they didn't mention it.

It looks to standard and by the numbers... This is a double fine game right? I just wish they'd make another Costume Quest... It'll never happen sadly! For that matter I'd like another Brutal Legend too!
