Found this over at TF.N:

Sam & Max 2 Cancelled
Wed, Mar 03, 04 09:48:45 PM EST

After the cancellation of Full Throttle 2 late last year, LucasArts has decided to cancel another classic sequel, Sam & Max: Freelance Police. Acting general manager and VP of finance and operations, Mike Nelson, had this to say in the press release:

"After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC."

This also leaves any future sequels to Monkey Island hanging by a thread. Sad times indeed.

Motherfuckers. I was so hyped after seeing the trailer for it too.

Well that blows.

I mean honestly I wouldn't mind seeing Lucasarts do something other then Star Wars games.

They did some classics in the past.

I'm beginning to see a trend here.

"Not an appropriate time to launch an adventure game for the PC"?!?

W. T. F.

It's ALWAYS a good time for a PC adventure game from LucasArts! The fools!

Fucking assholes, I was looking forward to that one. Cancelling FT2 was bad enough, but now S&M2? I feel betrayed.

So exactly how much non-SW stuff do they have that is supposed to come out anyway? Doesn't seem like they've made that much lately.

Max: Sam, how could you? Senseless acts of gratuitous violence are my forte! *Max brutally kills Lucasarts execs*

Well fuck you very much, Lucasarts.

They're making some sort of mercenary adventure game in North Korea. I think.

There was also Secret Weapons over Normandy, which was released last year.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, Armed & Dangerous, and Secret Weapons over Normany were their only non-SW games in the last year.

I meant that they had planned, I haven't heard of that much stuff that they've been working on now.

As much as I like SW games, I still want to see some diversity.
