Rumortoid: Are Codemasters grabbing Leisure Suit Larry? photo

I love Leisure Suit Larry games. They remind me of all the cheesy glory of the TRS-80, which was the first system I ever played the game on (and yes, I am officially over one thousand years old).

Early last year we heard that the smooth talker was getting a new title called Box Office Bust, but the merger between Activision and Blizzard left the title floating without an owner.

CVG spotted a listing on the German Game Rating body (which has since vanished) that appeared to confirm Codemaster had picked up the title, which jives with a source told Destructoid earlier in the week. The same source that hinted the game could be completed within four hours, and would feature open-world activity such as driving, platforming (wall-jumping?) and the usual sex-flavored minigames.

At this time, none of this information could be confirmed. We'll have to wait and see, but here's to hoping everyone's favorite sleaze king gets another chance to harass unsuspecting females.

If they did try to grab him... I bet he'd let them... gladly.

Didn't they try to resurrect this shit recently?

The original was fun, alongside of Hugo's House of Horror/Hugo 2/Hugo 3. I still go back and play Kings Quest and all those old click/type adventures.

Yeah, but they took out the porn!!! This may represent a return to porn!!! The game's humor needs the silly (animal house-like) porn to offset it....at least I think so.

I wish it were a return to Al Lowe and the actual Larry Laffer. I'm not a big fan of Larry Lovage.

Unfortunately, Larry Magna Cum Laude was SO terrible to the point that i'd never have any hopes for the next one no matter how they promise.

Lesiure Suit Larry 6 was AWESOME though

Please no. Just let this franchise rest in piece.

I just hope codemasters redesigns Larry, Larry looked like he had down syndrome in that trailer.

@someone666 I actually enjoyed magna cum laude- it wasn't the old LSL point and click but it was fun- I would like to see it done better though
