The first kings quest game I ever played. And it was with one of my best friends. To this day we still say “Old lamps for new..” to each other 😂
Hey guys, I’m surprisingly new here. I have hundreds of hours on the 2016 kings quest but I have gone deeper into the rabbit hole and bought the collection of all the original games. I have so far only played the first one and even that one I haven’t finished. However I have played enough to see it in basically every other modern game with adventure mechanics. At the moment I’m playing the first witcher game and it’s completely filled with kings quest mechanics. It’s less obvious in the newer games but the source is always the same. Roberta wiliams is a god damn genius. I’m very much open to a bigger discussion. My guess is that this subreddit is frequented by hardcore fans so I think it could be interesting;)
I print and paint resin minis, and I'd love it if there was a Connor model to print based on the front cover art. Might commission someone to sculpt me one.
In the room where you get the bolt cutters, there is a cut in the wall where you can use spacebar. Graham doesn't succeed in climbing up - at least without tools. Did anyone find a possibility to climb up there?
Just the other day I finally got around to playing the remaining chapters, (2-5). I had high hopes but, honestly my girlfriend and I were slightly disappointed. Every chapter after 2 can barely even be called an adventure game. Chapter 4 is just purely a logic puzzle game with some story around it... And it feels absolutely nothing like a Kings Quest game. 5 at least has a good chunk of classic adventure game but it breaks the immersion like CRAZY when they just leave in literal notes from the developers serving as clues. Having to go around and fing four keys, it just feels way too gamey, and doesn't really feel like something that could ever truly exist in a parallel universe where there's magic etc. I REALLY liked chapter one and I was so hopeful, but the remainder of the chapters just didn't deliver for me... Especially because the ending (SPOILERS AHEAD!!)
Is just very depressing... The whole fifth game is honestly. I would have preferred bittersweet over outright depressing. So who is going to carry the torch and start making more games in the style of Kings Quest and Laura Bow? I had high hopes for the odd gentlemen but this is just not it for me.
In the era where intellectual property and nostalgia are KING (no pun intended), I’m surprised nobody has tried to capitalize on the King’s Quest universe.
I know it’s not Marvel of Star Wars, but a built in Millenial/Gen X audience could still be interested. I don’t even necessarily mean a game remake. Get a couple writers to learn the lore and do some world building and pitch “Daventry” to some streamers. Maybe someone takes a flyer thinking it could be the next Game of Thrones.
Wishful thinking, I know.
But I assume Roberta Williams sold her rights to the franchise long ago, right?
Hi I just finished playing 2015 King's quest for the second time on xbox and I've been wondering where I can play the previous versions
I’m playing chapter 4 and you see manny come and kill Larry. As well as taking out Guard number 3 and 2. We see 3 after but I’m yet to see 2. Did 2 die?
