Hmm, yeah, it looks like the new King's Quest game is being made by some group called The Odd Gentlemen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odd_Gentlemen). Never heard of them before. Well, in that case, irrespective of the whole "indie or not" issue, which I guess these guys are if you kind of squint and tilt your head, it's actually kind of odd that Activision is going with them, rather than one of the other groups I mentioned above who have already proven they're able to make decent King's Quest games (though I still have yet to play any of The Silver Lining because they still have yet to release the final episode and I refuse to get started playing it until the whole thing is released, so I don't personally know if that one actually counts as one of the "decent" ones).
Well, maybe I won't just dismiss this new King's Quest game out of hand like I probably otherwise would if it were just an in-house Activision cash-grab thing whoring out the Sierra name.
