@mpdeveloper_B: Mmm, well when I think of it some more, I think the first game just appealed more to me, but perhaps you're right in that it's not necessarily a better game than the later sequels. A thing that bothered me from the 3rd game is that the art style is a lot different too.
I think this new MI will have similar controls as Sam & Max has. At least there's a good chance, meaning it has a point & click kind of control as well.
Lemme just say this, Lucasarts was my favorite developer for a while because of things like Dark Forces and Jedi Knight and the Monkey Island series
Same here, but their recent (read: last 5 years) focus on Star Wars and Indiana Jones ruined it for me at some point. It's why I hope for a new FT, even though you are very much right in that it probably was one of if not thé best game Lucasarts ever made and difficult to surpass.
