Hi,
I first played Little Big Adventure in 1994. When I first saw it on the shelf of a local game store, I was attracted to it because of the pretty graphics. As I was playing it, I loved it because… there really isn’t a description to it, I’ve been pondering over an answer for the past five minutes. This game like no other left me with a feeling of nostalgia, like some pleasant memory from childhood, like I’ve lived through it already. Playing it was like being a part of it; my sympathies were that of the character in the game. I also loved its completeness. The developers put attention into every aspect of it, the characters, the world, the overall feeling and mood of the game. It was art.
I’m sure some of you played it, others heard of it, while others don’t have a clue about it. Both are action adventures, similar to Zelda and Beyond Good & Evil. As a matter of fact the creator of the LBA series is a Zelda fan.
Today, after 9 years of waiting for the sequel, the LBA fans finally have a chance. I received an e-mail 3 weeks back from the developer of the game, Frederick Raynal, also the man behind Alone in the Dark (Many today continue to acknowledge he is the father of survival horror). He mentioned that his company was expanding, and that he was presenting LBA3 to several publishers. If the publishers take interest, then LBA3 enters production.
I’m a gamer, a hardcore gamer that is a fan of games that the developers put thought into every aspect of the game. I’m the sort that’s tired of games where developers focus on games with gameplay, but no soul. Games which you may or may not enjoy, but the second you put down your controller, you leave it as you came to it, with no experience and unaffected.
It’s the reason I’m a fan of LBA, ZELDA and Beyond Good and Evil. They are all games where you leave it touched; they’ve got magic that very few others have. The developers put their hearts into these games, and that’s what I believe the gaming community deserves. I don’t care how big a game is, nor how many cars or planes you can fly, nor how amazingly detailed yet artless the graphics are, I care about the experience I get out of it. I care that every time I remember it, I get nostalgia.
The fan community today is as you read this planning and putting together a hardcore campaign. As we see it, this isn’t just a battle for LBA; it’s a battle for the action adventure genre. A genre that has almost completely died due to first person shooters, and their likes, that give the gamer the experience of being a super hero that can kill 697 people (I killed that many people in Max Payne!) without ever leaving the comfort of his room.
If you’re a fan of Action Adventures, please support us. There isn’t much I can do to return the favour, apart from use my close ties with Frederick Raynal to probably get the forums that support us mentioned in the credit list of LBA3 if it is developed.
