Double Fine Day as SEGA Teams Up with Legend Ron Gilbert
The Cave is a platformy thing from the mind of a genius
Double Fine has, so far, defeated the Internet's almost total power to find bad in good, by being totally open and good (or appearing to be...). Anyway, the fact that it has teamed up with SEGA to bring a Ron Gilbert game to download for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC merely adds to the goodness.
Rather than regale you with meaningless spiel about the game, we can show the video, after we've regaled you with some talking that has been written down:
“As SEGA continues to expand our digital gaming catalog, we’ve put a lot of effort into finding truly original experiences we can help bring to life. Both Ron and the team at Double Fine are experienced and deeply creative, and we value the chance to work with them on The Cave,” said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA.
“The concept of The Cave has been bouncing around in my head for many, many years, and then the little voices that tell me to do things said it was time to make the game,” added Ron Gilbert. “I’m thrilled to be working with amazingly talented folks at Double Fine and ecstatic that the team at SEGA believes in adventure games and quirky ideas.”

I love anything Double Fine touches, hence why I was a backer for their kickstarter.

The word genius doesn't mean what it used to mean, eh?
(Yes, I'm one of *those* people that think Tim Schaefer is grossly overrated--an Internet phenom that can't actually sell any games, and has to go hat in hand to his fanbase to make a game.)
