Has Telltale Given Up on Sam and Max? [nope]

[RoadRunner]

I've bought every single Telltale game since Sam and Max Season 1. I don't understand Strongbad, Wallace and Gromit are cute, but I won't buy another season of either of them. Monkey Island did reduce the Sam and Max craving a little (I will buy future episodes!), but I MISS SAM AND MAX!!! PLEASE make some announcement that you haven't just given up on them. I remember a poll on this site about what game was the favorite, and Sam and Max won by a large margin.

I'm not saying that you should give up all of your other series (although I wouldn't be upset if you gave up at least one of them); just don't forget what got most of us interested in Telltale Games to begin with!

they're not going to give up on one of the fanchises that started them out.

[Rather Dashing]

That's true! It's not like companies that make adventure games have anything like a history of abandoning adventure franchises, Sam and Max in particular (http://pc.ign.com/articles/496/496351p1.html), in order to pursue more profitable games.

Oh, right, that was LucasArts. We're talking about Telltale, and they'd never abandon a franchise in exchange for a more profitable one.

http://www.telltalegames.com/images/productshots/bone_bundle_large.png

All snide comments aside, from what I can piece together from the various Telltale statements was that they were in pre-production of Sam and Max Season Three when the chance to make a Monkey Island game fell into their laps. The offer was too extraordinary and profitable to pass up, so they took it. I'm guessing that if the Telltale of half a year ago was going to continue with Sam and Max, the Telltale of now is fairly likely to make it their next series. Sam and Max fans were just spoiled by the short timeframe between seasons 1 and 2. ;)

[Bobbin]

Bone isn't abandoned, it's just in cryogenic sleep. :p

Telltale has enough employees to work on two games, so I suppose Season 3 has been slowly progressing through the background of TOMI development.

It's going to take a while, for Telltale to get all their people back on board for Season 3, because coming back to an unfinished product is hard to do. Ultimately, I hope this doesn't affect season 3...

So don't worry RoadRunner and everyone else, Telltale wouldn't just abandon a project they just started twice, and if they were I'm sure we'd be hearing about it with apologies galore. For now it's still a certain release.

And yes the rest of us are all thinking, dreaming, sketching and needing Season 3, it's not just you. ;)

Yeah, that timeframe was just perfect, I barely got aggravated as I am with this season 3 wait. :p

[WarpSpeed]

Perhaps they've been secretly working on it all along, so they can put all five episodes out the day it is announced!

Wouldn't that be a blast?

(No, I don't think this is going to really happen...)

[Falanca]

There wouldn't be any particular need to publish the season as seperate episodes then >_>

[Irishmile]

I keep hoping they will announce that they will be making S&M season 3 and MI season 2 at the same time.

[Maxilyah]

I keep hoping they will announce that they will be making S&M season 3 and MI season 2 at the same time.

That would be a dream come true.

[corruptbiggins]

I think the plan is to have longer gaps between games, so for instance in 2010 we get Sam & Max season 3, then a new IP. In 2011 Strong Bad season 2, another IP. 2012 Wallace & Gromit season 2 & MI6. That is assuming that they stick with Strong Bad and Wallace & Gromit and that LucasArts lets them make MI6. But I think the general idea is sound - could even be 3 complete seasons (or just games) a year. And I've not included any probable CSI sequel(s). So really, it's probably not very accurate at all. Ah well.

[The Commissioner]

There's buzz regarding Sam & Max around. Here's a quote in response to someone asking about if Michael Land is doing all the music in Tales of Monkey Island.

As of now it's all Michael Land. Jared's keeping busy full time doing the music for Wallace & Gromit episodes 3 and 4, and I think he'll be busy scoring something that rhymes with schmam and schmax schmeasson schmee, but who knows if he'll come in on the assist as we get further down the road.


And then of course there is this:


Right now, I’m currently scheduled to do the fourth episode of Sam and Max season three. It’s about time I actually got to do a Sam and Max game that actually ships.


Which leaves me to believe that Telltale have not given up on Sam & Max.

I consider the Wallace & Gromit & Strong Bad series to be a cult series, and therefore only occasionally making a new series appearance - because of its much lower popularity in contrast with MI and Sam & Max.

I also see the premise of them getting later series to be very unlikely because they deal with other mediums, were fans can get W&G and Strong Bad (W&G - has the shorts, that are still be released, one I think is due for 2011, whilst Strong Bad has the constantly updated homestarrunner website).

Whilst Sam & Max & MI's only new stuff is here at Telltale, so these two are most likely to be the ones to get at least another series...

Wallace and Gromit has a habit of taking forever between things though. Next year's TV show may be a good start though.

[Scrawffler]

I feel fairly confident that a season 3 will happen, even if it takes another year or two. There's high demand for it, and Telltale really seem to care about their fans and customers, and it sounds like they're already well into preproduction anyway.

I know that sometimes a project gets cancelled at this stage, even when it gets to the production stage in some cases, but I still think the release of Sam and Max season 3 is more than likely to happen someday.

[Kroms]

I wouldn't be surprised if Season Three happened this December. In fact, I'm almost sure it will :)

[Butterscotch-Biros]

Wallace and Gromit has a habit of taking forever between things though. Next year's TV show may be a good start though.

Yeah but at least it gets some material, all us Sam & Max fans get nowadays is the video games.

[lattsam]

Hopefully it's a remake of Season One and Two that actually allows the original voices!

You know, because America hasn't been allowed to have them for four years...

[Teeth]

Ooh dear. Some people will never let go of that, will they?

[lattsam]

Ooh dear. Some people will never let go of that, will they?

And that's exactly why I want Telltale to do that, because as long as this period without the original voices continues, there are going to be people who will never let go of it.

I wish people would take into account the reason WHY we want those voices so badly. Think about it... there's only one Sam and Max product that has them. But it's not sold in the United States. The country they were from. The country where they recorded those lines. And, in addition, the other project they were working on got taken away from them, and is still being locked away for no reason whatsoever!

And it saddens me that there's too much callousness on this forum, and too many people not caring about them at all...

Four years? That's long enough, people. The original voices of Sam and Max deserve FAR better than this.

[Rather Dashing]

They were originally a comic, though. So they didn't have voices originally. And then when they were the big names, the animated series went with someone else. It doesn't feel like they are particularly "definitive", and by now fans of the Telltale Sam and Max games are used to and enjoy the current voices.

I like the new voices better, eat it. :p

But in all seriousness, the guys doing the voices have been doing them for a good while now and have a great feel for the characters. A change at this point would be jarring to say the least

[Ashton]

People are going to kick my head in for this, but...

I dont think there is going to be a S3, or it will only come when TTG is desperate for a new release.

Even if it was the series that put them on the map, it's less profitable and has a narrower audience than most of their other games. (I'm acctually stunned that they're not cranking out CSI: games seeing that CSI: is more popular that it ever has been) S+M has a narrow audience because (1) it has "cartoon characters" which will automatically turn off a large number of adults ("its for kids") and in turn (2) most kids wont play it because of the mature content, then (3) the off-beat humor wont land with a lot of people, or will not be appareciated, (4) the semi-crude content will turn off most of the right-wing conservatives. This is not even counting that right now most games are FPS and lots of people will simply not want to buy an old-school point-and-click game.

On the other paw, for example, wallice and gromit (1) is well known to be all-ages (2) is kid friendly, (3) and (4) AFAIK contains no crude or off-beat humor to offend anyone. It's a very market-friendly game.

TOMI, from what I've heard (not played it yet) is also not as off-beat or crude as S+M and again doesnot evoke the "it's a kids game" like seeing an anthro dog and rabbity-thing.

Honestly, from a monitary PoV I see no reason for TTG to seriously persue S+M when they ahve other franchises that are much easier to sell and likely more popular overall.

Also, Should I point out that in NONE of the "where is S3?" threads has there been even ONE post from a TTG member. They are keeping their mouths shut because they know when they finally announce "Season 3 has been put on hold indeffinately" aka CANCELED, that it will evoke seering rage and a virtual lynch mob of all the fans that were so upset on the demise of the Lucus Arts Freelance Police.

They're stalling so people will buy their other games "while we wait for S3" and they are hoping we get addicted to those games so that when they cancel S+M we wont all boycot their products...

[corruptbiggins]

Sam & Max is the series that made Telltale as popular as they are and I feel is their most popular series (though ToMI won't be far behind). They'd be stupid not to do a 3rd season and the lack of comment from Telltale staff is far from unusual - they're probably not allowed to say anything until it's officially announced.

[Falanca]

Your list of facts only comes from generalizing the majority of gaming industry, which can't mirror the details of how it actually is. While most people go for FPS genre games, there will always be a minor grouping of people (alas it's NOT that minor, it's proven to be quite enough for Telltale Games to get bigger) who wants to experience other genres. sure, 95% of people who play games like FPS. This doesn't mean 5% is unimportant. It's a PRETTY big amount, too.

The terms "market-friendly" or "crude humor" can only be used for people who have never played any adventure games and want to experience it. The humor that Sam and Max has may be too much for minors, or some may find the characters' looks childish; but the franchise already has a big (not huge, but big) fandom behind it, so this is not a big deal. Also I believe that the true "market-friendly" product is that product that gives the consumer what he/she wants. I mean, people only care this stuff like "violence" or "crudeness" if there is a big disturbance involved. I don't think Sam and Max's crude humor is even comparable to the amount of violence seen in games like Manhunt or GTA, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Sam and Max is a quite big franchise, and it can be called as a "classic". I mean, if you like the old-school TMNT or Godzilla or whatever, Sam and Max is for you. If you like blowing some zombie heads or controlling a big army to conquer a land, you probably can't like those games.

In fact, developers already mentioned about Sam and Max S3 is in development, and they keep their pieholes shut to give it a little hype.

Note: Sam & Max S1 was the season that put Telltale Games on the map. Not making a Season 3 would be, at best, highly dumb, and at worst, business suicide.

I try very hard not to look at forums other than S+M else I gain a costly interest in other games. The only way I could afford to play S+M the 1 time I did was because I cheated Gametap out of several months of $0.99 subscription-fee by threatening to cancel my subscription...

Whenever I get S&M withdrawal symptons, I just go play Hit The Road/any of the Telltale episodes or watch the cartoon series again. I can wait a little while longer for S3 (not too long, though!).

You know what, Ashton, you're right. Telltale has given up on Sam and Max. Through my secret sources I have found out that the "dark" IP Dan Connors was talking about is a property more popular than Monkey Island, more contemporary than Strongbad or Wallace and Gromit and Jurgen was the first sign ... yes, Telltale's next series is based off of that cultural juggernaut of a book and film series ...

Just get William Kasten to do his Jurgen voice for every vampire. That'd work fine.

Fun fact: All the vampires in Twilight are secretly German, even the Italian ones. You just can't tell.

That is a sick joke. I was going to make it but I felt it was too far out of bounds. but dang if somone else didnt make it!

I will likewise avoid making the joke about who the "best vampires in the industry" are...

Honestly, I would not be suprised if TTG did aquire/try to aquire the rights to make a Twilight game - as I said before a company exists to make money. I would never touch one of the games from that series with a 40' pole (it would take me months of scrubbing to get all the gliter out of my computer! ;)) and I likely would abandom TTG for some years, knowing they would have their paws full making Twilight games and not having enough time to make a S+M game (think about it, would YOU stop making them if it meant listening to all the whiney bitchey emo teenagers?) but I still would not blame them.

Yeah, I don't know if I can forgive for taking a horribly written book, to a horrible movie...into a decent game, that would cause a paradox and encourage stephanie meyer to create more tragedies amongst great horror writers, and Ann Rice...I think...yeah, it's best if we never remember these last few posts.

I've been banned from all things Stephanie Meyer due to its over-sappiness and my chronic inability to not make fun of said over-sappiness. Banned by both my peers and a random group of fifth-graders. (true story) I really question whether I'm even allowed to read this thread anymore. . . . Oh well, it's not like they'll ever find out. . . . Right? Right? Anyone???

[Scrawffler]

Don't worry, Nimeni, we won't tell. :)

First the "oh hai" thread, then Will randomly says hi. And strangely it's all in the Sam and Max subforum. Are they trying to mess with our heads? 'Cause with me... they've succeeded. :P

On a side-note... I can't really contribute to the most recent discussion here as I know little to nothing about Twilight. But after reading the last few posts, it's safe to assume I'm not missing out on anything important, right? XD

It was more of a full office project. Those who embodied the sparkly nature of vampirility we used as figure studies, which is why you'll find our Twilight game characters look overwhelmingly like the choreography team.

Obviously, your knowledge of Twilight is mercifully limited. "I am going to leave you forever because I love you. Now come here. Now I'm leaving you forever." I'd cite the fact that they consider themselves vegetarians because they only drink animal blood, but that's more "they're mentally retarded" than "vampires are fickle".

My knoledge of Twilight is limited it (1) watching about 30-seconds or so in a store as I passed a TV (at first I thought it was Underworld, man was I dissapointed, or perhaps relieved ;)) and (2) what Iv'e heard on the 'nets about it. What I saw was enough to turn me off to the series (though I wish there WAS a decent vampire or werewolf series out there...) The more I know the more of a distaste I have for the series... (and the more I wonder just what the writers are smokin'....)

[Maxilyah]

Twilight was pretty bad compared to her other book. I really liked the Host better. Felt like there was much more character development and originality (and NO SPARKLING!) there.
Definitely less "Mary-Sue" characters. ;)

Somehow I don't think Aardman would appreciate a Wallace/Twilight crossover game.

Also, fun fact! In offices where people always wear t-shirts, they often have Fancy Day instead of Casual Day. Everyone suits up and comes in to work and puts on the ritz. Not that WE have ever done that mind you, but it could happen.

They take their work very seriously without being really "corporate" about it or acting like annoying indie "auteur" types, either. It's hard to explain, but I guess I just really admire their work attitude.

yeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Bring It!

[serializer]

People are going to kick my head in for this, but...

I dont think there is going to be a S3, or it will only come when TTG is desperate for a new release.

Even if it was the series that put them on the map, it's less profitable and has a narrower audience than most of their other games. (I'm acctually stunned that they're not cranking out CSI: games seeing that CSI: is more popular that it ever has been) S+M has a narrow audience because (1) it has "cartoon characters" which will automatically turn off a large number of adults ("its for kids") and in turn (2) most kids wont play it because of the mature content, then (3) the off-beat humor wont land with a lot of people, or will not be appareciated, (4) the semi-crude content will turn off most of the right-wing conservatives. This is not even counting that right now most games are FPS and lots of people will simply not want to buy an old-school point-and-click game.

On the other paw, for example, wallice and gromit (1) is well known to be all-ages (2) is kid friendly, (3) and (4) AFAIK contains no crude or off-beat humor to offend anyone. It's a very market-friendly game.

TOMI, from what I've heard (not played it yet) is also not as off-beat or crude as S+M and again doesnot evoke the "it's a kids game" like seeing an anthro dog and rabbity-thing.

Honestly, from a monitary PoV I see no reason for TTG to seriously persue S+M when they ahve other franchises that are much easier to sell and likely more popular overall.

Also, Should I point out that in NONE of the "where is S3?" threads has there been even ONE post from a TTG member. They are keeping their mouths shut because they know when they finally announce "Season 3 has been put on hold indeffinately" aka CANCELED, that it will evoke seering rage and a virtual lynch mob of all the fans that were so upset on the demise of the Lucus Arts Freelance Police.

They're stalling so people will buy their other games "while we wait for S3" and they are hoping we get addicted to those games so that when they cancel S+M we wont all boycot their products...

Wow, that's a lot of words to eat son :)

Part of that was the optimism of hte forum was grinding on me and getting annoying. Also a part of me DID want S+M to end - I always want to know how the story ends (and despite it, I never peek at the ending - I ruined a wonderful book that way once and never did it again) So a kinda wanted S+M to be over so the suspence would stop and the wonder about the future would end.

And also if they released 3+4 I could easily justify renewing gametap. As it is, I wont renew it untill, at the easliest, 306 so that I wont end up paying a month for each game. (And the irony here is that as big of a cheepscate as I am, I would feel guilty pirating it. After being on here and meeting the TTG team and all, I would feel bad ripping them off...)

So, untill I play all through the current season, I will vanish. This way I avoid spoilers. (Though if I find any S+M Awesomeness I might pop in to post it)

I think Ashton's talking about the monthly subscription fee. If, say, I buy Season 3 as it's coming out through GameTap, I'll pay five monthly fees (or one for the whole year, depending). But if I wait to renew my subscription until all the episodes are released, I'll just need to pay for one month.

[Harald B]

Aww, and the relationship with Gametap has always been so good in the past. I feel sorry for them.
Ashton, I think it's not that Gametap gypped them but just that Telltale is now rich enough to up-front the money themselves without anyone's help. So at least it's arguably a good sign.

Though I did realize that they are giving more importance to Wii since SBCG4AP ("Coming only for Wii! ...also for PC"), but no no no. Adventure gaming EQUALS to PC. Doing such a thing would be the death of the whole Telltale in my eyes. You hear me? HUH?! Good.

My guess is that this means Season Three will not release on two platforms. Season Three will simultaneously release on PC, PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, DS, PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, iPhone, and(as Lena_P said) Choose Your Own Adventure Book.

The game will later be ported to the Atari 2600, SNES, Amiga, and Apple II.

Oh but will it be sold as a Disc or in Digital Download from XBL/PSN/WiiWare? That's the important question! lol

(and to fill a BD for PS3 they'd have to cram in a LOT of extras! lol)
