Sounds like they're revealing a new King's Quest at Gamescom: https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/497872149403930624

"Sir, The Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us sold a lot, we could get into adventure games."
"Adventure games... didn't we do something like that already?"
"Yes sir, we bought Sierra years ago. They were big on adventure games."
"Oh right. Then ask the team to make something like this Walking Dad game."
"Sir... we also closed them years ago"
"Oh. Then just ask someone else and put their logo on the cover. Retro stuff are big these days."
"We could use one of their fan-favorite IPs."
"Explain yourself."
"Reports indicate that old IPs can make fans pre-order a game even before alpha state, throught a website called Kickstarter."
"Haha, this jobs gets easier every year."

It's appropriate. The last King's Quest was also an action game.

But meh, I don't think we could've expected anything else than yet another rape. Although this is a 2-pack: Sierra+King's Quest.

Thats unfair because SWAT was more like Rainbow 6 and it could hardly be called a cover based shooter, its a game were without proper preparations you could have your entire squad dead. by just opening a door.
Rainbow Six was basically changed in Vegas 1,2 to cover shooter so it won't be a problem for Activision to make the new part. Too bad that Irrational after making Bioshock wasn't interested in Swat 5. Other than that, it will be emotionally engaging "adventure game with simple puzzles.The last thing is some moba/mobile mutation.Ubisoft made MMX but I doubt Bobby K. would be willing to make something old school.

I'm wondering something...hypothetically what if Activision used this new Sierra label to fund/publish the Two Guys Spaceventure and Hero-U? I doubt this will happen or that Activision has even considered it, but in the case it did happen is that something backers/fans would support?

Actually Activison is making an advertising game in the vein of Cool Spot or Darkened Skye for Sierra Mist. Pepsi Co knows how much Mountain Dew and Doritos sales have increased and they want to revive their struggling Sprite competitor

If they actually let Jane Jensen do something new with Gabriel Knight I will actually be okay with this. I don't even mind the fact that the Gabriel Knight remake will probably suck in several ways.
And I do wonder if the two guys from andromeda or jensen are actually in on this somehow. They did let Jensen and her studio develop a gabriel knight remake, but the terms of that are unknown.

Aww, come on guys! Activision is not THAT bad 
I mean, they've published some pretty good games through the ages. Remember Call to Power? That was pretty fun.
Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, Republic Commando.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Singularity, Soldier of Fortune.
The Movies
Rome Total War and the previous games, before Sega bought them.
Gun, that was a fun GTA in the west (best RDR came to existence).
Some Tony Hawk games
Spiderman games, Transformer games, many of them were pretty good actually.
X-men Legends, Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, that pretty good Wolverine game.
Oh, and Prototype games were pretty fun.
Shit, even their cashcow Call of Doodoo is not downright awful, they're okay for mindless popcorn entertainment and certainly better than most of the competition.
I don't know, considering it's such a big and "EVUL" company, they're relatively tame compared to other crappy companies like EA, Capcom, Square Enix, Ubisoft etc. It's just a company doing money the old-fashioned way, selling whatever is easy to sell and please. I mean, it's not really THEIR fault that everyone else raped studios and franchises in order to do Call of Duty clones.
The only really outrageous things from them that I remember was with Bloodlines and Brutal Legend, but in retrospect (especially with the DF game) I'm not sure if Activision is completely at fault for the problems these games had.
And don't even mention Blizzard, those guys were going the dark path since early 2000s, long before the merging.
Is there a chance they're going to shit on Sierra's brand name? Sure, but I like to give them a bit of credit here and there. They're not EA-level of awfulness as far as I'm concerned.

Hey Bobby, if you want people to like you you're better off releasing the Mechwarrior 2/Interstate 76 source code than paying people to promote you on forums.

Well, by being the trendsetter it gets a bit of credit over the clones that try to be the CoD killer. And Call of Duty is relatively harmless, just a WW2/modern military shooter with a Tom Clancy-kind of story. At least it didn't ruin some established franchise like Syndicate or that Aliens game did.
And it's not like Cowadoodoo ever pretended to be more than it is: cinematic shooter with pseudo-realism. Compare that with what happened to Epic games or id Software.

If this is legit, I hope the backlash will be horrible.
What else I am supposed to call this? A Try-hard attempt?
Is that Sierra Games a division of Activision? I AM CONFUSE.
A division of Activision which will kickstart a product, according to this Twitter acount. I hope to whatever non-existant god it's not real.
I also hope it's not real because,
A division of Activision will kickstart a product
