Gabriel Knight fans (all two or three here) might be interested to know that Jane Jensen's latest game, Gray Matter, finally has some screenshots.

I think I hit the Gabriel Knight train too late or something 'cause I found them kinda lame and boring. I played through Sins of the Fathers in '98 (read the novel that came with the collection, too), and The Beast Within right after (though I never finished it). At least that one was kinda entertaining in its FMV cheesiness.

Those screens look pretty, though. I don't know if I'll ever get bored of traditional adventure games. Even when they're stupid (like with GK), I still have fun.

The Beast Within had like the greatest game cover ever.

Jane now has a blog up and running. The game is coming in 2009.

Wow, this one's taking a while.

It's good to see at least one old Sierra legend still working in the genre (hell, the industry). All those guys got blackballed after the great genre crash. Al Lowe, Scott Murphy, Roberta Williams, all of them gone from gaming. I think Mark Crowe still works in the business, but not in a leadership role and not doing adventure games.

My wife is a big Gabriel Knight fan. She'll be excited to hear this is coming.

Nice corset.

So this is actually coming out! ..in February. There was some drama about the retail price and it caused a delay.

But according to Adventure Gamers, it really exists, is playable and it'll have a full English voice track. And now that I've finally read up on it, it sounds rad. Newish screens are nice too.

All that's left is to hope for a good localization.

It's so weird that "localization" has become such an issue for American adventure games.

Speaking of which, did anyone play Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island? I saw it in GameStop the other day and had totally forgotten about it.
