Point and click fans everywhere will be smug to realise this is being released soon.
Good news: It's on PC
Bad News: It's also on PS2 and X-Box. Consoles have no mouse, therefore point and clicks are useless on them.
Good news: It's scheduled for a 2002 release.
Bad news: It's 3D
Dunno about this. It's obviously a PC game, but it's 3D and therefore probably crap. I might go replay Broken Sword 1 and 2.

EXACTLY!
This is the point I made in my point and click golden age topic a while back.
We don't want hard characters. Leave poncy Snake to people who likes snakes, like Ant.
We want George Stobbart to do stuff because he likes the Frecnh girl in leather. And go to Ireland and be scared of a goat.
And steal damn toilet brushes from damn kebab sellers.
I don't want George Stobbart looking serious and hurdling a wall. He would trip over it and dislodge a statue thats the key to an Atzec treause. The clown would steal it first, of course.

Good God the character art for George is... awful! Why so serious!
The whole character of the game was this gimpy George taking on these wonderfully crafted plot-lines of mystery... if you make him look like he could actually get far into the game all on his own, it'll suck, hard.

Nah, there's some rendered images non-game based, though.
I'm not sure, try www.revolution.co.uk.

Anyway broken sword game rule, I bought the first one and the second disk was broken so I sent it back and Virgin (I think they are/were the publishers) well whoever it was sent me a nice new copy of the game and a nice letter.
Where did you find this out Gaz?

On the GBA version the developers have apparently changed the goat puzzle slightly.
that was THE most frustrating part of ANY game!!!!!!
(But it felt oh so good when you eventually tied up the b****r!)

But we all know that is Solid Snake did steal the toilet brush, he would have snapped the dudes neck, and in style. Then, he'd get a fag out and start smoking over his dead carcass.
You seen any pictures or screenshots of the game anywhere? It'll be interesting to see how it looks in 3D, although, I'm agreeing with you and thinking it won't be too good. Blame realism. It's the damn designers thinking they have to make it look better, because technology is better and they've got to keep up.
Also, that toilet bit was one of the hardest parts in the entire game!! That took me days to complete that section, before finally getting to use your buzzer on that dude. Tehehe.

If won't be 3D on the GBA.
