The Next Big Thing is this trailer

Well, that is until the adventure game The Next Big Thing launches, which will be the next big thing. Developer Pendulo Studios is just being up front, right? In fact, we're thinking about doing the same, renaming Joystiq to Thing Our Mom Reads and Sometimes Tells Her Pinnacle Friends About.

"A heroic..."?

I thought it should be 'an heroic' since the N is silent?

@Fillem not silent...I mean something else which I don't know the English word for.

@Fillem

Common mistake, the H in heroic isn't actually silent, it should be pronounced. Imagine saying, "I walked up an hill." To contrast that, in "honorable", the H is silent, so you would say that he "committed an honorable act."

@Fillem

When these are the only posts in the forum for your game's debut trailer, it's time as a game company to start considering those cyanide capsules tucked away in your molars.

@Fillem The heroic thing to do would be to track down your English teacher and beat them to death with a dictionary.

-Well said.

Wasn't this the Name of one of the games Pandemic were developing when the died?

@iceytoa1 god i miss Pandemic... : (

@Layzier
Mercenaries 3 looked bad which is a shame :(
Next Big Thing was a Wii kart racing game
Project X and Y will never be known :'(

Pinnacle? Don't you mean Pinnochle?

@Enosoma

No, he means pinochle.

The ads in these videos are just... I mean a pre-roll ad and then an ad at the bottom of the video the whole time...

If you're not one of those people who ignores modern adventure games, you should be excited for this. The Runaway series was pretty good.

I like the art style, and it looks like it'd be pretty funny too. It brings to mind other humorous adventure games like the Monkey Island games or Space Quest series. :)
