Precinct Kickstarter Shoots for a Spiritual Successor to Police Quest
Post by Dan @ 08:43am 17/07/13 | 7 Comments
Another indie team has turned to crowdfunding in hopes of returning to a mothballed classic, with Sierra veterans Jim Walls and Robert Lindsay pitching Precinct, a hopeful spiritual successor to the Police Quest games that they worked on back in the 1980s.
Playing in the first person perspective, Precinct's real-time 3D environments and gameplay deliver significant realism to the classic police adventure style Jim is famous for creating. Along with staple elements such as adventure and puzzles, players also encounter intense fast action gameplay sequences that include shootouts, high speed car chases, investigations, foot pursuits, hand-to-hand combat, and more.

Jim is leading an effort to successfully combine original Sierra-style adventure with modern video game technology. The Precinct team is poised to redefine the cop-game genre by making a game that both classic and modern gamers can enjoy.
The project has an initial goal of US$500,000, with an expected delivery of a PC game in June 2014, and aspirations for other platforms as stretch goals.

Watch the pitch video below, and head over to the Kickstarter page for more details.

I was excited, then read it was First Person, much less excited now. Not only that, but their team seems to have little FPS experience. I'll be passing on this I think.

I loved police quest! If they put as much effort as they did with that game, then count me in.

Police Quest eventually became SWAT, which I thought was a pretty decent FPS. They don't mention those games at all though, so the teams probably don't overlap.

F*****g loved me some PQ back in the day, and as a kid I certainly don't remember ever buying a copy, so I might as well flick them some dosh.
