Sam & Max 2: German magazine preview
The German magazine GameStar has a Sam & Max: Freelance Police preview in its current issue. I've scanned it for you.
Sam & Max 2 preview
Seeing the lower left screenshot I understand what Steve Purcell meant when he was talking about "hilarious animation" in his comment on the cancellation.
Please be aware that they rated the potential to be only "Gut" (="Good") because they have a policy that prevents any better preview rating ("Very good", "Excellent") before they actually played the game or watched someone else play live.

Please post some higher-res scans of the screenshots specifically if you can!
I'd like them for samandmax.net.

It's strange how a preview of a game that looks ever more awesome can make me so sad.
I don't think I've seen actual gameplay moving yet, but judging by all this stuff, they've finally managed to make a decent SCUMM system in 3D. It looks great, and probably plays easily too. Argh!
LucasArts could easily torture us forever by slowly releasing great screenshot after great screenshot from this game.

I'm hoping for a disgruntled employee to leak the code...

WHY OH WHY DOES IT HAVE TO LOOK SO GOOD!?
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "Or you wouldn't have come here."

I'm forever going to be haunted by this. Not only did LucasArts cancel Sam and Max 2, they canceled their first point and click adventure since CMI. I'm gonna go cry some more.
Just because people think what I say don't make sense, doesn't mean I don't like popsicles.

Oh.
MY.
GOD.
All this time I've been wondering about that screenshot ( "Inside the Office") and now I see it really is the true successor to SCUMM. This game looks incredible :'(

This game looks like it could have been the best adventure game since The Longest Journey, or even..... Grim Fandango.
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

Someday I'm going to kick Mike Nelson right in the balls, and it'll be the happiest day of my life.

The sad part is that you can't read how much they're bragging about the game in German.
But we can't give up hope. We must keep fighting!
By the way, when exactly is Jake going to update? |
