Oh wow.

For the past 2 weeks, I have seen something that reminds me of the Guide. I wonder how this will play out? And what craziness can be put into a game. Will keep my eye on this one.

BTW. It's officially towel day today in tribute to Douglas Adams. 2 weeks since the anniversary of his death.

I'd be soooo wary of this after the film.

Movie to game adaptions not always a good thing.

Are you aware of the trilogy (snicker) of books preceding the movie? Douglas Adams actually also scripted the previous HHGTG game, The Starship Titanic (or something like that), and that was pretty good. No Adams involvement in this one, though..

There is a link on the article to check the game out. Yeah, bad that Mr.Adams won't be doing this one...hopefully they can do something unique with this.

But they always choose to base it on the movie in the end, heck the game is probably a sign of a second HHGTG movie.

This should be something quite cool! I really hope they don't base it on the movie though. It didn't live up to what it could have been.

They said this might be a point and click adventure right? Or at least I remember hearing something about that on the IGDaily on the machinima channel on youtube?

After watching the movie, all i can say is no thanks !

We can only hope that they base the game on the books rather than the movie. The movie seriously sucked

 

[Kiruna]

sounds interesting. Skeptical but it would be a interesting game to play if done right. Also hope they don't base it on the movie.
Can sorta imagine playing the opening scene as a adventure type rpg.

Also keep thinking of that text base HHGTTG game, that was fun!
