Well unless Lucasarts re-hire Ron Gilbert, Dave Grossman and Tim Schafer
I'm going to be persecuting any suggestion of an MI5 as well.

I don't see their absence as a real problem. I think it's much more
likely LA will throw too much eye-candy at it and forget about the
gameplay. A good storyline seems doable to me, as well as the tone and
humor. I just fear they'll create a awesome sword-fighting engine and
forget about the insults or good puzzles.

They might even come up with a great game, sort of like open GTA world
with pirates and ships. But that would just be GTA with pirates, not MI,
even if you add the right amount of jokes.

It's not so much the absence of those people in particular as it is the
absence of anyone with more than the slight scrap of talent it takes to
pump out the odd Star Wars shooter and the ability to outsource like crazy.

I guess I wouldn't mind if they had someone else make it and just
published it, but anything from lucasarts' inhouse team had better have
a solid ground concept (that they'd have to stumble on by sheer chance)
or it will be a steaming pile of pudu.

I get those messages all the time.
I don't need a computer for that.
