In a very brief statement, LucasArts has announced that it has stopped production on Full Throttle: Hell on Wheels. "We do not want to disappoint the many fans of Full Throttle, and hope everyone can understand how committed we are to delivering the best-quality gaming experience that we possibly can," said Simon Jeffery, president of LucasArts.

The follow-up to Tim Schafer\'s 1995 adventure game Full Throttle made its last public appearance in May at E3 2003.

First we had Star Wars Esp 1 & 2 that killed of the SW saga.

Now Full Throttle 2 is canned...

Lucas is the DEVIL :mad:

Mark my words we should burn down Skywalker ranch in rightshous fire just to make sure ;).

And ergo the game equals crap? Come on, I\'ve played tons of great games with crap graphics.

I read a few previews where it said the game wasn\'t shaping up very well.

I saw some videos, and the game looked so sad, so sad. Justice has been served.

*cuddles priceless collection of old LucasArts classics*

EDIT : And Bobo. There were beat-em-up sections. This game deserved to die. The days of real adventure games are long gone, but at least our generation has been there when the good times were rollin\'. Oh yeah, and Lure of the Temptress is freeware now, in case anybody had missed the news.

Bah, that blows. I don\'t know why it took me so long to see this news since I was really looking forward to this game. Even if it didn\'t live up to the original, I\'d still would have preferred something to nothing. :(
