Leisure Suit Larry Revival

[Oct 10, 2011, 8:47 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Replay Games announces it has acquired the rights to the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, and are teaming with series originator Al Lowe to rerelease an updated version of the first game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, in Q4 2012. The game will be released for Windows, OS X, XBLA, PSN, iOS, Android, On-Live, and Gaikai, and if they find an audience nostalgic for the adventures of lovelorn Larry Laffer, they can see working on new installments as well as remakes. Here is some concept art. "I'm totally jazzed to work with long-term friend and Sierra buddy, Paul Trowe," says Lowe. "He's worked tirelessly for years to get the Larry rights and return them to the hands of the Sierra ‘family.’ Working with Paul's team ensures that the world’s favorite leisure suit-wearer remains the same guy we all learned to love a quarter-century ago. I'll oversee the entire production of these games to ensure the highest standards and some amazing new adventures for my pal, Larry. It's great to see my creation released from his digital dungeon!"

Both Leisure Suit Larry and Battle Chess got their first remakes 20 years ago. We are indeed very old.

I am not sure you are joking or not, but it'd be pretty cool to play a game like this in 3D and first person, Larry also has many "guns" with particularly strong "ammo"...

Al Lowe or GTFO.

Reading is fun. You should try it.

At the end, Dr. Strangelove & crew seem only to be interested in 'saving the human race' so that they can get lots of women. Presumably, they tried in the past and failed, and the only way they could think of to sex it up is to blow up (most of) the planet.

Do you mean "beeing" like apiology? Like, the production of gay honey? And the Gay Mafia? Are they all called Mr. Pink?

Of all the games that need a remake... Why aren't you turning this into an FPS, EA?

While this game was cute when it was released, I just can't imagine it will be viable in the current environment. Seems like a complete waste of money to me.

Will it be made as an FPS?

A reinterpretation of Battle Chess, with a little Archon awesomeness thrown in, might be very cool.

That said he pretty much is Howard Wallowitz from the first couple of seasons of Big Bang Theory so the script would take a lot of clever writing to work without a straight man for Larry to work off.

I don't think the current social climate is the problem, I think it's just really awkward to watch a guy continually try to get women and fail miserably over and over and over

That's pretty much what happens to Alan in Two And A Half Men, as well as many of the encounters in Big Bang Theory. Even George in Seinfeld fell into that category. It's a really popular concept, plus the retro appeal will probably help.

I wasn't interested in the recent 3D version but this looks like a good idea. As for Al Lowe making a return, I guess that's just to add credibility - and just from the concept art it looks like a good idea.

Occasional episodes will have an LSL-type guy, but briefly. Maybe I just avoid that type of comedy.. I like my comedy to either have some sort of point or just be completely irrational. LSL-type situations are basically romantic pratfalls, and The Dick Van Dyke Show never amused me. You sure you're thinking of Dr. Strangelove?

If it's like the recent re-releases of the Monkey Island games, that would be fine by me.

It seems like it's just a remake. I'm not sure what Al Lowe can do, maybe tell them how to draw the characters. Well, I hope somehow it leads to a new game that doesn't suck.
