#GamingNEWS Leisure Suit Larry | Wet Dreams Dry Twice | Gameplay Trailer (EN)

Larry is back!

What? A random new Leisure Suit Larry was released, a direct sequel to the modern meta-one that was really not long ago (one year ago?). Wet Dreams Don't Dry. We now have Wet Dreams Dry Twice!

Alright, can't wait to try this one!! 

Who knew a new LSL was coming so early?! (Pun entirely intended.)

#AdventureNEWS Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry Teaser Trailer

There's randomly, suddenly a new Leisure Suit Larry game out! And from a different (German) crew than the previous excellent "Reloaded" remake...!? And I wasn't even aware of it!!

So apparently a German dev team got the rights to the LSL series and made the long-awaited LSL8!

Here's the random teaser trailer:



Some art + the new updated main theme:



And some gameplay:



I'm not a big fan of the flash look/clean animation style. It's too... "digital", for lack of a better word. But I like the sound and the voice cast sees the return of the original Larry Laffer actor once more! And he made entirely the Reloaded remake on his own.

The game was apparently made on a very tiny budget, to launch along the entire series back on Steam and GOG. That's where you'll find this new episode as well, by the way.

VGR Leisure Suit Larry 1

Since I just recently finished playing through the Kickstarter-financed Reload remake recently, here's a review of the original!

A "graphic" adventure game that took its title a bit too literally.

Don't worry, it's all played for laughs, it's just a parody!

Adventure Gaming

Here's the post in which I talk A LOT about the adventure genre.

Sure, adventure games seem to be coming back lately, with the LucasArts remakes and Telltale Games Studio's success...
But they've never really been away. It's indie studios like Autumn Moon (ex-LucasArts' Bill Tiller), Revolution Software (Broken Sword series) & Péndulo Studios (Runaway series) that kept the flame alive during the whole 2000s while nobody wanted to make these games anymore.

Adventure games. Be it Point-and-clicks or not.
The genre is often misattributed to games like Tomb Raider or Uncharted, for exemple.
I prefer to call those action games, platformers or even action-adventure.

No, those ain't real adventure games.

 

You fight like a guy who's trying to explain me how adventure games were and how they ended up today!

The adventure genre grew up side by side with what we call now RPGs.

While the consoles had games like Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy and many more 8-bit RPGs, home computers developed a parallel genre, less action-based since the controllers were keyboards (and later, mouses) and much more story driven.
