Season 4 Speculation/Suggestion Thread

[Tricky_bluefox]

I'm addicted to it I need it and it's awesome so after I'm done playing the devils playhouse ten more times when can I expect to pre order season 4

[RingmasterJ5]

Not for a while.

[The Highway]

Maybe after Tales Season 2. That is, if Telltale doesn't kill them off, which I'm scared might happen

[blogger151]

Maybe after Tales Season 2. That is, if Telltale doesn't kill them off, which I'm scared might happen

I really hope that doesn't happen. I'm just getting into this !!!! :eek:

[splash1]

Season 4 will be released in about... Maybe after Telltale finishes those SBCG4AP and Wallace & Gromit Season 2. Just because Season 2 was released about 5 to 6 months after Season 1 was finished doesn't mean they're doing that EVERY time.



Maybe after Tales Season 2. That is, if Telltale doesn't kill them off, which I'm scared might happen

Sam & Max will obviously die! And that's the cool part of Season 3.

[The Highway]

W&G and SBCG4AP probably won't get a season 2

[splash1]

Yeah, words like that are a good reason why Telltale isn't making them.

[Hassat Hunter]

Lol, we haven't even played 305 yet (or are you part of the ESRB?) and we already talk about season 4? :D

[girlycard]

Season 4?

FUND IT

[SlasherMan]

Yea, probably not for a while, maybe after the game that comes out after BTTF & JP (I'm also guessing ToMI 2)

[juandemarco]

Aren't they also making a new CSI? Anyway, Monkey Island has too much potential and a vast enough almost religious fanbase to be ignored, and BTTF & JP are going to be their priority before that, so I'm guessing *at least* Jan 2012. Of course, I hope to be wrong :)

Edit: I, for one, am one of those almost religous MI fans :D

[Butterscotch-Biros]

Sam & Max will obviously die! And that's the cool part of Season 3.
Characters don't die in adventure games. :rolleyes:

Anyway, it'll probably be about two or three years since the next one, considering all the second series, Jurassic Parks and BTTF games that Telltale are planning.

A four year gap would be too painful to bear though, please make it as short as possible Telltale! :D

[DrRocketGenius]

W&G and SBCG4AP probably won't get a season 2

I don't think they will either. 4 episodes felt like it was enough for Wallace and Gromit. Strong Bad just kinda fell off the face of the Earth. :(

[mascan42]

I'm thinking not until sometime in 2012.

[RoadRunner]

Based on the time between Season 2 and Season 3, I won't start holding my breath until late 2014 at the earliest (and I sincerely hope I'm being pessimistic). Both Jurassic Park and Back to the Future are going to take a lot of the programmer's time.

[LikaLaruku]

Maybe after Tales Season 2. That is, if Telltale doesn't kill them off, which I'm scared might happen

Heheh, Beavis & Butthead were killed off, but apparently they're getting a new series.

I'm going to say season 4 would be around late 2012 or 2013; they work on some other title then take one or 2 years to get all of S&M done. If they've expanded enough to have a team deticated entirely to S&M, then I could see late 2011 or early/mid 2012. Can't swear to it untill I finally take game development in college.

[Sausy Gibbon]

I'm thinking not until sometime in 2012.

But we'll all be dead by then.:eek:

[The Gentleman]

But we'll all be dead by then.:eek:

Actually, the government is going to release an infection in 2013.

[kane]

im sheaf I start to build a shaft bunker in 2011
p.s. I've like 300£ that like 750$

[Tricky_bluefox]

Well if we keep up the talk about season 4, the money hairs on the back of their necks are gonna go WOOO WOOO WOOO. Plus lets hear some ideas of what we'd like to see in the next season. Personally I'd like to see them travel the world, China, Japan, South America, etc...

[Gogeta504]

we haven't played episode 305 =( sam and max might die

[Amaterasu]

Don't forget DoTT2, which sure will come after ToMI2.
Oh, and LSL8! We can't forget Larry! XD

Don't worry guys, Sam & Max are too good to be over.

[mightypiratetm]

we haven't played episode 305 =( sam and max might die
If it happens I'm pretty sure many sam and max fans will commit suicide

[Gogeta504]

If it happens I'm pretty sure many sam and max fans will commit suicide

loool true :rolleyes:
:D:D
50/50 chance it might or not happen well never know...... unless TTG will give us release date anytime soon its already got ESRB rating which is E-10

[DrRocketGenius]

sam and max might die

No. Just... no. :confused:

[caeska]

It's not unheard of. With Sam & Max dead maybe we'll get to play as the Soda Poppers in Season 4. They can be freelance police!

[RingmasterJ5]

That's just tacky the writers are to creative for that. Plus their a business they won't kill off their money maker.

[MaclimesZero]

Characters don't die in adventure games. :rolleyes:


Someone never played Sierra adventure games. Finding the various ways Roger could die was one of the points of Space Quest. :)

[chemistx2]

Leisure Suit Larry was fun to kill, too. My favorite was when he forgot the condom... or was it the bad spinach dip?
Save early, save often!

[Ash735]

Sam & Max have already been dead, give us something new! :D

[caeska]

Sam & Max have already been dead, give us something new! :D

Them dying permanently with no chance of resurrection would be something new.

[Tricky_bluefox]

I think This is a good list of human people that should be considered or at least similar to that of their personalities or their ghost:
Jamiroquai
Korn
Drew carey
Frank Sinatra
Emilie Autum
A famous wrestler
OJ
Rupaul
Criss Angel
St trinians characters
Chris Tucker
Chris rock
James bond and characters
Dave chappelle
Now some animal characters:
Sand cat
Lynx theif
Kung Fu tiger
Arch nemisis pit
Capybara spy
Racoon
Ram
Dragon
Panda
Squirrel

[guitarsareboring]

^ what an odd list.

[Hassat Hunter]

Lynx theif
Indeed. But this one would be nice. Although I am not sure what a "theif" is... :D

[Randulf]

Now some animal characters:
Sand cat
Lynx theif
Kung Fu tiger
Sam: Cats, I hate those guys!

[Tricky_bluefox]

That is why they should have a diabolical cat enemy.

[Tricky_bluefox]

They should make more episodes as well like a seven part or even eight part season.

[Butterscotch-Biros]

They should make more episodes as well like a seven part or even eight part season.
Nah, I'd prefer quality over quantity...and I think it would be harder to make a good integrated storyline with more episodes.

Besides, Telltale have a pretty tight schedule at the moment, I'm sure all the TOMI, BTTF, Jurassic Park fans will get pretty annoyed if Telltale devoted 8 months to Sam and Max. :rolleyes:

[HelloCthulhu]

Tales of the Tentacle is gonna be sweet. If telltale decides to call it that, I so call claim to being the one to give them the idea for the name!

(not monetarily, of course.)

[Tricky_bluefox]

Well now that season 3 is done with (still kinda sad) let's start talking about season 4 some more to pass the time. I still think they should consider my list of possible characters that I posted on this thread previously. But let's hear some ideas I always like to see what others have to say that like the game.

[Tricky_bluefox]

After reading around the forums I think Superball might be the deceiver in the Sam and Max chronicles. I mean he did kill Max. Among other things in previous seasons so he might be in season 4 as a villain.

[crfh]

So there's no official estimate for Season 4? :( C'moooon these are some sweet series, don't be mean, give us some hope :) or at least an ETA...

[lombre]

So there's no official estimate for Season 4? :( C'moooon these are some sweet series, don't be mean, give us some hope :) or at least an ETA...

Season 3 just ended. Give them a while. This is Sam & Max, not Deathspank.

I know, but wanting release estimates already is pretty ridiculous.

[girlycard]

I know, but wanting release estimates already is pretty ridiculous.

I never said I wanted an estimate. I just want a season 4 as soon as I can get it

[Threepwood42]

Really, if Telltale never made another Sam and Max game I would be completely satisfied. The ending of the 3rd season really doesn't call for the need of another season(or at least not for a while), it just wouldn't feel the same after what happened. But if they did here's what I'd like to see. There's not mention of spoilers in the title of the thread so I'll keep my thoughts in spoiler tags just in case. I think that with the real Max dead The next season should not forget this and should make both jokes and some bittersweet mentions to it. Maybealternate time zone max and sam have comments that contradict each other and it leads to awkward silences or Sam realizes that this may be the same little buddy he lived most of his life with but he's still not the same as the little buddy that had psychic powers that he had traveled with during Devil's Playhouse. I think maybe something should happen to them that makes this alternate time zone max and our Sam more bonded, maybe an event in E401 that just helps ease the pain of it being alternate time zone max. Whatever they do though, I'd hate for them to just forget that the max we played with through The Devil's Playhouse is dead and act like it never happened.

[lombre]

I never said I wanted an estimate. I just want a season 4 as soon as I can get it!

But crfh did. Which is why I quoted crfh in my original post and not you.

[splash1]

If there is a Season 4, then I want it to be just as good as this Season, no going back, no crappy cartoon graphics just plain old awesomeness.

I also want everyone who died in this Episode to stay dead, the list goes:

Sal

Girl Stinky

Skun-ka'pe

Grandpa Stinky's old body

Sammun-Mak


All of these I want DEAD, they were annoying (minus Sal) and I can't stand any of them (minus Sal). But I do want some old psychic stuff to come back, maybe not in toys but I want some more and improved Max Mode.

Fully Playable Max. That's what we all need.

[crfh]

:) Well, I was just asking for a ballpark figure. If they have one. If they don't, with an official "We don't have an estimate on whenever Season 4 could be available" I'm satisfied too.

I was joking with the "don't be mean" bit, by the way

[lombre]

All of these I want DEAD, they were annoying (minus Sal) and I can't stand any of them (minus Sal).

I loved all those characters. But I do want them to stay dead. Randomly bringing characters back to life is never good.

But crfh did. Which is why I quoted crfh in my original post and not you.

Awww. :(

Word. There. Last word goes to me.

[girlycard]

Sounds good to me. -Yep, season 4. I want it. Word

[Gohaku]

Season 4 has so much friggin' potential it's utterly ridiculous.

-You have Past Max arriving in the Time Elevator.
-The default ending is Adventuring.
-Superball has a LOT of mystery behind him with his teleporting @ss.
-Why did Bosco need 20 thousand dollars?
-Where was Papierwaite and Dr. Norrington?

I've formulated a huge theory from this list alone. Season 4 is gonna rock so hard.

[gilau]

After reading around the forums I think Superball might be the deceiver in the Sam and Max chronicles. I mean he did kill Max. Among other things in previous seasons so he might be in season 4 as a villain.

naaaaa, superball would be a terrible villain, well thats just my opinion, hes not an evil one, and on all this season he is all the time with the good ones, when he was talking about killing max, he was more like doing hes job, National security against a imminent threat, that in that momment it had just happened to be mr. precident max, thats all.Dont forget he crayed like a little girl when he thougth that actualy max was dead, i would hate see super ball turned on a villian,that would be bye,bye for hem, plus i think that would be out of character, sorry for the long text, but he is one of my favorite characters, i guess we have some were on the way lost bosco, i cant stand lousing superball. :(:cool:

[lombre]

-Where was Papierwaite and Dr. Norrington?



I'm pretty sure that they were at the hospital with Sybil. Why Lincoln stayed at Momma Bosco's, well, that we may never know.

Word.

[Gohaku]

That is interesting, you'd think that it would be the other way around. I guess they wanted it to feel as nostalgic as possible having all of the old friends there to see about Max.
Having Lincoln and Sybil both absent would've made it more depressing.

Lol and what about Harry?
At the statue of liberty you could highlight an area on lady liberty where Harry is. But you couldn't talk to him. Instead you get generic responses from SAM while you're controlling MAX. I couldn't tell if that was a glitch or a joke from Tell Tale. That was the last I saw any mention of him or molemen for that matter.

[Spadge]

WHAT ABOUT Abe and Sybil's Newborn Abomination?! I want to see it! Is it a normal baby? Or does it turn into a little marble Hulk-like monster whenever it is grumpy, hungry or wet? Is it a boy or a girl? Maybe twins or even triplets?

[girlycard]

I reckon it'll be a giant nickel with legs, or a regular kid made of stone. Either way, I hope Sybil's getting a C section.


word.

[Phux]

I would be incredibly surprised if Telltale decided not to continue Sam and Max. It would be a foolish move in my opinion, as I'm sure it's their bread winner.

[chemistx2]

If you really want a season 4, just make sure you BUY the earlier seasons! And buy them for all your friends at Christmas! And Hanukah! And Ramadan! And Earth Day! (Did I miss any?)

This is one time where voting with your money really works...

[Tricky_bluefox]

What animals would you want to see in season 4 as characters and why.
I just think a cat or dog nemesis would be pretty cool and their weapon of choice some good old forged brass knuckles.

[Sausy Gibbon]

I don't like the idea of there being any other anthropomorphic animals in their universe other than Sam and Max and their extended family unless there is an actual explanation like they're aliens or mutants. It was one of the things that annoyed me about Sal, Mr Featherly and that ginger cat police officer in the trailer for Freelance Police.

[gilau]

To be honest i will like if skuncape appiers naw and then as a more permanent villian, i like a lot the character disain and voice, i really hope we didn,t see the last of hem.

WHAT ABOUT Abe and Sybil's Newborn Abomination?! I want to see it! Is it a normal baby? Or does it turn into a little marble Hulk-like monster whenever it is grumpy, hungry or wet? Is it a boy or a girl? Maybe twins or even triplets?

About the bebe(s) i wander my self if abe and sybil have triplets as is tipical on cartoons, do they will look as the other presidents of Mount Rushmore? i mean with the exception of Abraham Lincoln; George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore RooseveltxD, maybe on pettit side, with bebes bodys with giant heads of the presidents or somthing shocking and funny lol.:p

[Captain Mickey]

WHAT ABOUT Abe and Sybil's Newborn Abomination?! I want to see it! Is it a normal baby? Or does it turn into a little marble Hulk-like monster whenever it is grumpy, hungry or wet? Is it a boy or a girl? Maybe twins or even triplets?

I don't know what to picture what the baby actually is, but I hope it's a boy, and I hope Sybil named him Max. It'd be sweet.

As for season 4, I just want to see how Telltale will continue the S&M story with Alt!Max. It'll be also awesome to see even a glimpse of the new born abomination baby. I'm not expecting anything, I'll just wait and twiddle my thumbs in that there corner over there and see how Telltale tops this season.

[funnybone567]

Yeah, I know it's a little...okay a LOT early, but judging by this (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19365) thread I can see that a lot of people, including me, are beginning to lose our heads over the lack of new Sam and Max content. So, I figured I'd put this up to keep us all (somewhat) balanced and attached to reality.

So, I guess if you want to, post any and all ideas you may have about Season 4. And before anyone says anything, I'm quite aware that the season hasn't been announced yet.

[Gohaku]

:mad:THAT'S IT!!! I can't take it anymore!!! What's gonna happen next!!! I need to know!!! Do Sam and this Max get along? Maybe .....
Are all who died REALLY DEAD? Why are there 2 endings??? WHAT DOES THAT FREAKIN BABY LOOK LIKE???
Why does my mind feel so thoroughly F****D?!?!
?

[Woodsyblue]

So there's no official estimate for Season 4? :( C'moooon these are some sweet series, don't be mean, give us some hope :) or at least an ETA...

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't at least a couple of years off. Telltale have a lot of exciting things on their plate right now, we've got approximately a year of Universal games to look forward to and after that, if we're real nice, we could see ToMI 2, a follow or to another Telltale series or even another whole new series altogether, although there is no guarantee of that. When you also consider the new Pilot games being produced Telltale aren't going to be running out of things to do any time soon.

I don't think we'll be hearing about another Sam & Max game until 2012-2013 (As depressing as that sounds)

[girlycard]

I have to admit, I'm not the slightest bit interested in the other games Telltale's producing at the moment. Jurassic Park and Back To The Future?

My money is going towards other games like Fallout: New vegas and the such... Sam & Max is the only thing I stick around for/have interest in. (I have been thinking about snagging up Monkey Island, but that's about it)

I'm sure I'm not the only one; so I think it'd be a good idea to set up a Sam & Max team on the side.

[Hatley]

I speculate that Season 4 will invole Sam & Max in 5 monthly episodes and the player will control Sam. It's probably a pretty far off guess.

[Player_2]

I speculate that Season 4 will involve Sam & Max in 5 monthly episodes and the player will control Sam. It's probably a pretty far off guess.

I dunno...you might have something there. I'm not sure, though, it seems like a long shot.

[Ikzai]

Actually I'm really excited about Back to the Future. Not so much JP.

I think it's good they're doing other games for a while. Gives the developers time to improve before returning back to S&M. (Season 3 was terrific, I thought, and a huge step up from Season 2 but I can hardly imagine another leap in quality for Season 4. The thought makes me smile.)

[Ikzai]

Season 3 just ended. Give them a while. This is Sam & Max, not Deathspank.

What does that mean? Deathspank 2 was in development at the same time as the original. They aren't just "rushing" out a sequel.

[Gohaku]

What does that mean? Deathspank 2 was in development at the same time as the original. They aren't just "rushing" out a sequel.

Lol I don't think lombre meant to bash Deathspank. Its just that Sam and Max is going to take more time to develop a sequel of equal or better quality compared to Season 3.
The approach they're going to take with the story they decide to use is going to take a little while on its own.

[Randulf]

1. President Max has sacrificed himself, and President Superball's deadpan reign fails to last as Abe Lincoln becomes the first American president to run a third term. First Lady Sybil is busy organising an International Union of All Trades, in addition to tending her Venus-of-Milo-like armless daughter.

2. Girl Stinky survives the explosion, but now that her disguise has been blown, she changes her name and goes by another identity. Meanwhile, Grandpa Stinky finds on Craigslist a mysterious young lady who shares his passion for cockroaches...

3. Bosco gets married in Vegas, to a rich, flamboyant drag-queen who is also an animal activist. He/she is forever at odds with Momma Bosco's animal experimentation, and sparks fly in BoscoTech labs -- not to mention feather boas and fake breasts.

I could actually see this happen. It's the most connected to what we've seen in the last episode with Sybil and Lincoln.

[Sausy Gibbon]

and alien gorillas most likely.

[zprospero]

I could see an entire season dedicated to Sameth and Maximus.

But that could be the fact that I've been dying for a 'Sherlock Holmes' type game that doesn't suck.

[Strong Max]

Abe Lincoln becomes the first American president to run a third term.

Okay, this is going to bug me if I don't correct this. Up until Franklin Deleno Roosevelt, there was no two-term rule. FDR served four terms and there were probably other presidents who did three terms.

[divisionten]

Okay, this is going to bug me if I don't correct this. Up until Franklin Deleno Roosevelt, there was no two-term rule. FDR served four terms and there were probably other presidents who did three terms.

There was no two term rule, but it was a precedent set by Washington himself. No other president before wanted to hold office more than he did. After FDR died in office, a law was put in place to prevent it from happening again. So now a president cannot serve more than two terms.

[Tricky_bluefox]

There should be some new puzzles where max can shoot.
Also the Revenge of Leonard!!!!!!

Yeah, I wasn't Deathspank bashing, just using it as a comparison. Most game sequels just don't work that way, and Deathspank is the only one I can think of that apparently does.

Ain't got nothin' again the Deathspank, sir/madam.

Word.

[Randulf]

-
-Why did Bosco need 20 thousand dollars?
-Where was Papierwaite and Dr. Norrington?

I've formulated a huge theory from this list alone. Season 4 is gonna rock so hard.

Bosco is in debt due to his Vegas misadventure. As for Papierwaite and Yoggy, now that the last toy of power is gone with monster Max, they'll have to find another solution to separate.

Or, what if they don't want to separate at all? Pappie has lived far beyond his natural lifespan, and cutting his off the dark power may mean death for him.

[Cheri]

Well, he seemed pretty adamant about separation, so it either means he'll continue aging as normal, or he REALLY wants to die. That's kinda depressing, actually.

[Blayze]

Theory: It wasn't Sam Prime who picked up his hat at the end of 305 (At least in the Adventure ending), it was either:

1) A clone.
2) Some other form of Sam, leading into a "multiverse" storyline.
3) Past Sam, who is *not* dead yet (I still hold out hope that there was no paradox, that Sam Prime and Past Sam/Max Prime and Past Max are the same beings with no paradox whatsoever, just a lot of mind-wiping on Superball's part... and also that Sam is one of the clones created in his own image by Charlie).

Presumably, the start of 401 involves Sam Prime and Past Max returning to that spot to collect Sam's hat... but being slightly too late. Thus the adventure to recover the hat serves as a tutorial like getting the phone back was in 101, and dumps our heroes in the new story.

I might have just been hearing things, but I think I heard a little ding from the time elevator just before we see Sam reach for his hat. So wouldn't that mean that Sam simply went back for it?

[Gohaku]

Not to mention we SEE the elevator from behind one more time after he gets his hat (or Sam Jr. depending on which version you got). Then the elevator sinks off into time....

[Tricky_bluefox]

Should they have season 4 on iPad. I own one and I think it's awesome but can it handle the power of telling another tale of the Cunning critter and K9 or would it suck cannon balls.

[russell19831983]

Characters don't die in adventure games. :rolleyes:

Anyway, it'll probably be about two or three years since the next one, considering all the second series, Jurassic Parks and BTTF games that Telltale are planning.

A four year gap would be too painful to bear though, please make it as short as possible Telltale! :D

People do die in adventure games, just think of tales of monkey island, there was guybrush, morgan, noobie, and i'm sure theres more. Also in sam and max 305 max dies, so does the narrator, skunkape, skunkape's minion, sal and sammun-mak

[Blayze]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFD8sSUDcpE

You see some of *a* Time Elevator, and hear it as it arrives. You see an arm belong to someone presumed to be Sam pick up his hat, and then hear the sound of the Time Elevator leaving again.

At no point is there any proof that it is the same Time Elevator that Sam Prime and Past Max left on.

At no point is there any proof that the occupant or occupants of that Time Elevator are Sam Prime and Past Max.

Why would a different version of Sam, or Sam from a different point in time, want Sam's hat? Because it makes the wearer immune to mind control.

[Tricky_bluefox]

The best time for season 4 to come out should be at least in the next 3 years if any longer they'll loose their momentum.

First Lady Sybil is busy organising an International Union of All Trades, in addition to tending her Venus-of-Milo-like armless daughter.

No.

2. Girl Stinky survives the explosion, but now that her disguise has been blown, she changes her name and goes by another identity. Meanwhile, Grandpa Stinky finds on Craigslist a mysterious young lady who shares his passion for cockroaches...

No.

3. Bosco gets married in Vegas, to a rich, flamboyant drag-queen who is also an animal activist. He/she is forever at odds with Momma Bosco's animal experimentation, and sparks fly in BoscoTech labs -- not to mention feather boas and fake breasts.

NO!!!!!!

You see some of *a* Time Elevator, and hear it as it arrives. You see an arm belong to someone presumed to be Sam pick up his hat, and then hear the sound of the Time Elevator leaving again.

At no point is there any proof that it is the same Time Elevator that Sam Prime and Past Max left on.

At no point is there any proof that the occupant or occupants of that Time Elevator are Sam Prime and Past Max.

Why would a different version of Sam, or Sam from a different point in time, want Sam's hat? Because it makes the wearer immune to mind control.
But how can you be sure that Sam has been wearing his mind control blocker this whole time?

[Sausy Gibbon]

My thesis for the new series: Sam and Max travel to Asgard to stop Ragnarok.

[Blayze]

But how can you be sure that Sam has been wearing his mind control blocker this whole time?

I'm assuming he was, since he had it built into his hat, and the first thing he does at the start of 303 is ditch his hat to go Noir -- which would explain why he's affected when it all goes south later on in that game.

If that's the case, then the concept of Future Sam going back in time to take his past self's protective headgear is sound.

"I always did wonder who took this baby. Guess I should've known, really."

[Asparagus]

401 will start most probably as a marathon of clumpsy waiting, with the newly-reformed (!) duo having to face, when there isn't a "wave of happiness" spreading through the town (like it says in 301), small cases finished in a matter of seconds. But the point won't be these cases, but the continous tension between Sam and the new Max, as Sam hasn't got used to him and any of Max's joke attempts will be dismissed as "the mere shadow of old Max's jokes", but then a strange thing happens. Like, for instance, the sudden appearence of the time elevator, with another couple of Sam and Max. For spicing things up, Sam could be the one with bad habits (anyone imagining a hyperkinetic dog?... And don't forget the fudge addiction) and Max could be the nice cop (eventually, Max could have clothes - and tie, of course - and Sam - naked! Like the Samulacra from 304). And the two Sam & Max couples have to change places - so that the player would only control Max and Sam would be wandering around and jumping "Wwwhheeeehhh!" After this, of course, serious things appear on the horizon, like stuff that threatens the very existance of the entire "omniverse" (I think I actually heard this term in, me thinks, 304) And, maybe, the new duo would have to make a REAL tour of the world to find the clues and kick villains, visiting this way samandmaxified versions of Paris, London, Tokyo and so on. And eventually add to the mix a duo similar to Sam & Max that work as... freelance police on the streets of Tokyo, and their names would be... Saiki and Maoto?

Neah, all this would be too wild.
For realistic predictions: I would say Bosco will make a real comeback. And maybe Hugh Bliss too. Maybe someone from the pre-101 world will arrive, like Lefty...

No he had it installed into his SKULL, in 102 when Max shot him sam said something like "good thing my mind control device was infused to my skull or that would have hurt"
EDIT:Oh sure when I played it, Sam says Skull, apparently it is hat though. Which doesnt at all explain how max was able to shoot him in the head(I watched carefully it hit him in the skull) and sam lives.

Ok, here goes: 401 Opening
Opening credits is a montage of past events all climaxing to the final moments between Sam and Max. Sam awakens in a cold sweat and looks to his right as the camera pans to Max sitting on the floor polishing his luger-with lube lol. Max waves at his partner. Sam gives a halfhearted smile and looks out the window. (Don't these guys have a house??)

The duo are lounging around the office; Suddenly the phone rings! Chaos ensues. "I got it!!!" While the two are preoccupied in a stranglehold, a feline ninja masked up to his ears appears in the Freelance Polices' window. "No one's answering that phone", he says, "Taking that case will interfere with MY mission! Your meddling could lead the demise of yourselves and everyone around you ." "That's kinda what we do" says the little white lagomorph only slightly taller than the feline. Max bounds for the phone and is stopped in his tracks as 4 ninja stars land on the wall beside him. "This could be a problem" Sam adjusts his hat. The feline hops out of the window, "Agree to not take the case involving a ninja occult and a soul mater and I'll leave in peace." Max cocks his luger, "If we refuse?" The cat narrows his eyes, "I'll send you to Hell." "Been there done that", says Sam. "Really!?" "Shut up Max."

Ninjas in Sam and Max? This needs to be done :)

[girlycard]

The best time for season 4 to come out should be at least in the next 3 years if any longer they'll loose their momentum.

I'm hoping they already started working on the next season while finishing the last one.


Wishful thinking... word

[russell19831983]

I'm hoping they already started working on the next season while finishing the last one.


Wishful thinking... word

They would be working on jurassic park and back to the future before sam and max season 4, because they've teamed up with universal studios. I would like sam and max season 4 too but its unlikely it would be any time soon

[Gohaku]

Ninjas in Sam and Max? This needs to be done :)

Thank you! Yes! I think it would be something fresh and different. Not to mention the great story that could come from it. AND the puzzle variety!

[Gogeta504]

401 would be confusing =P Sam goes to the elevator with past max in end of 305 ... so it will be like 204 again??? and i liked season 1 and 2 story better then season 3 but i like the gameplay for all 3 seasons =D i want season 1 and 2 on PS3 T-T oh well i could dream can i ??? XD

[splash1]

401 would be confusing =P Sam goes to the elevator with past max in end of 305 ... so it will be like 204 again???

Just because they have the time traveling elevator doesn't mean they'll end up back at the events of 204, they'll probably go wherever the time stream takes them.

[Sausy Gibbon]

Knowing pervious seasons I don't think we'll get to see the events after entering the elevator, they'll probably just step out of the elevator during the first episode and it's back to the same neighbourhood.

[splash1]

Don't forget the future vision from 301, they end up in 2133 I think. Apparently Max isn't very cool in that future.

[Sausy Gibbon]

What future vision is it the one about Emperor Sku'kape the Second?

[Tricky_bluefox]

I just finished season 1 and I have say i haven't laughed that hard since Spaceballs and even the puzzles were different and engaging. They should bring back that feel and atmosphere for season 4. Also some more Bosco humor that s$@t was funny.

[Hatley]

Maybe 401 could deliver fanservice by somehow making the toys of power reappear, but Sam prime and Max X decide the best thing to do is use them to send Yog-Soggoth back to the dark dimension (or destroy them, whatever floats your boat), meanwhile, Satan is making sure everyone who died in season 3 is there in hell, but when he sees Max, he releases him as a mark of tribute to all the people he and sam sent to hell. But because he's SATAN he also releases all the villains. So the episode could be about Sam and both Maxes trying to stop Skun'kape and the other villains getting the toybox, while also trying to destroy it or use it to send yog-soggoth home. It could be called "Sam & Max 401:The Twin Lagomorphs"

[StrongBrush1]

I have my own ideas for Sam and Max Season Four, which I orginally posted in the "Sam and Max Ideas!" forum. Pay Attention, Telltale, because I got ideas that will BLOW YOUR EVER-LOVING MIND!


Sam and Max Season 4: Into the Void

401: Back to the Past
After the DeSoto gets damaged (as a result of one of the clones somehow crashing it) Sam and Max go see Momma Bosco for a car repair. Shes fixes up the Desoto, and also installs a power supply which she calls a "flux capacitor" And warns them not to drive over 88 mph. Being themselves, our heroes ignore this rule. Once they are done saving the world (Again) they see how fast the car can go on it's new power. They exceed 88 mph, and suddenly it takes them to a futuristic dystopia in which an old friend or enemy (or possibly someone else) has become Overlord of all humanity, without Sam and Max being there to stop him. Having found out how this will happen, they head for the DeSoto, which is sadly out of fuel. To make things worse, the new overlord has destroyed all time-travelling objects, and ordered the Death of our two heroes, should they be seen. So knowing this, Sam dons a Lab Jacket and Gray wig, and Max dons an orange vest and a blue shirt and jeans, and they pass themselves off as Doctor Sam Brown and Maxwell McFly, as they search for a source of fuel.

402:The Island of Dr. Morona
Our heroes make it back to the present, where they decide to take things easy. Suddenly, the duo get an invitation to a remote island location, where they are promised to meet a lot of old friends. When they finally arrive, they discover a mad scientist at work, kidnapping their friends and performing horrible experiments in attempts to make a successful human-animal hybrid. When the scientist discovers that the duo is already a pair of hybrids, he lets them roam about the island, and our heroes set out to save the island's inhabitants.

403: The Day Before Yesterday

After Saving the island from the mad scientist, our heroes head home to discover that the city is completely abandoned. No reasons are in sight. So, naturally, the characters,being curious, search throughout the city for any signs of life. The search turns up three: Bob Bell, Curt 286, and Chippy. From the information they gather, they figure out that while they were away, a massive abduction took place. Our heroes hear that during the abduction, a teleporter was left behind, so Sam and Max try to find the teleporter in the city. The only problem is that it's in pieces.

404: A Grip on Reality

The Teleporter they have assembled takes them to a reality in which our heroes live not in America, but in London, UK. They go about looking for their British selves, and find out that THEIR teleporter needs fixing. Once they've fixed it, they go back to their own and wind up in the 18th century Caribbean. The machine is then broken. Stuck there, they are forced to search for a way to fix the machine, running into their Caribbean universe selves along the way. Finally, they return to an Earth the Day of the abduction, and discover the fiend behind this insidious plot. (As is the tradition with fourth episodes, this will be the best one ever.)

405: Apocalypse Then

Having Finally arrived at the instance of the abduction and discovering the face of the villain, the duo get to work preparing to destroy him. First, they have to get onto the space ship. The guard has strict orders not to let them on board. So, with a little help from their friends Superball and Momma Bosco, the duo decide to infiltrate the ship in a complex manner: By transforming themselves into humans. They all sneak on board, and as soon as the spaceship takes off, the duo get into the villain's control room and bring the hammer down on this hardened criminal. Literally.

BOOM!

[Gohaku]

Maybe 401 could deliver fanservice by somehow making the toys of power reappear, but Sam prime and Max X decide the best thing to do is use them to send Yog-Soggoth back to the dark dimension (or destroy them, whatever floats your boat), meanwhile, Satan is making sure everyone who died in season 3 is there in hell, but when he sees Max, he releases him as a mark of tribute to all the people he and sam sent to hell. But because he's SATAN he also releases all the villains. So the episode could be about Sam and both Maxes trying to stop Skun'kape and the other villains getting the toybox, while also trying to destroy it or use it to send yog-soggoth home. It could be called "Sam & Max 401:The Twin Lagomorphs"

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! But I wonder what the rest of the season would entail. Maybe that should be episode 2. I feel like this needs some kind of build up.

Wouldn't Satan also want to release Sam X, too? Nitpicking aside, That sounds pretty cool.

I don't know, but it could be explained in an episode where Sam, Max and Max X try to bring Sam X back.

[Nintendo Boy1]

:mad:THAT'S IT!!! I can't take it anymore!!! What's gonna happen next!!! I need to know!!! Do Sam and this Max get along? Maybe .....
Are all who died REALLY DEAD? Why are there 2 endings??? WHAT DOES THAT FREAKIN BABY LOOK LIKE???
Why does my mind feel so thoroughly F****D?!?!
?

I found out there were to ending because Jake (the director) and Chuck (the designer) had to diffrent view on an ending so they just implented both. I would doubt those who died are REALLY dead. For all we know they'll somehow come back. (I'm certain Sal is.) Just think positive. ;)

[Bunnyman]

Also while we're at it, Chuck said [paraphrased] Max has a hive mind and shares the same thoughts and feelings as any other instance of Max. We don't need to be concerned that "this Max" is different than the other.
I don't think Telltale is going to spend a season trying to undo/redo the events of the past season. Although I can see a bit of dialogue in 401. Also I think many of the characters who died are popular enough to return (i.e. Sal, Stinky)

Max: "It's too bad I don't have any unexplainable physic powers to help with the case, Sam"
Sam: "But didn't having those physic powers cause you to... you know...
Max: "What is it Sam?"
Sam: "Nevermind."

Well I'm glad some people found my old dusty post worth replying to! Thanks! So Chuck's the designer, huh? I did not know that at the time, otherwise I would've taken that post more seriously! A hive mind... That's kind of a bland deus ex machina but unique.... Now I've gotta go in a different direction with my developing fanfic.

I still can't wait to see how the team is going to continue the series, though. Whatever they do, I'm sure it's going to be most excellent.

[Gohaku]

Also, this whole hive mind business should be addressed in the series at some point! Seriously!
That 305 ending nearly scarred me for life.:D

[Mr Nutt]

Well I think season 4 would be a good time to bring back Sam & Max's "arch-nemesis" Mack Salmon but since the games Telltale makes now seem to be slowly getting more darker and edgier (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkerAndEdgier) (not that it's a bad thing) things might not be as simple as usual for Sam & Max to get away from him. I'd say more but my imagination is dead sleeping right now.

[tabstis]

I had some ideas in my head for a fourth season. It basically starts off with Sam and Max saving the city from a brand new villain (who then turns out to be the villain of episode 3) and then it turns out they are famous.

New characters include a reporter following them, an obsessive Max stalker, an evil rich nemesis, a mad scientist who lives between dimensions and a girl who is looking for her father.

Episode 1 revolves around some paradoxes that are appearing across the city as the result of meddling. Sam and Max spend the two episodes searching for the cause behind these and some other shady plots involving the reporter as the villian of the first episode.

At the end of episode 2, an apocalypse occurs as a result of Grandpa Stinky's actions and the whole city is destroyed. Sam and Max meet the scientist guy and spend Episode 3 putting it right, discovering that the first villain is behind it.

In Episode 4, everything is back to normal before the apocalypse and Sam and Max must confront a returning villain in the form of a vengeful General Skun-ka'pe. The episode ends as Max's stalker finally blackmails him into marrying her, creating a union of pure evil.

Episode 5 involves Sam attempting to break up the wedding before it can occur but fails - resulting in a scene where he breaks into the church to stop it when they are interrupted by Papierwaite.

Papierwaite blames Sameth and Maximus for all the bad things that have happened to him, and with Norrington finally gone and Max busy, he has won the election and is president. Papierwaite sends Sam and Max to the dark dimension as he prepares to destroy the planet and escape on Skun-ka'pe's ship.

There, they must make their way back as the mad scientist is revealed to be the girl's father, General Skun-ka'pe discovers he has a son on his home planet, the evil rival perishes and Sal and Stinky meet again in a parallel universe. Finally, with help from Satan, they return and stop Papierwaite.

At the last moment, Papierwaite is backstabbed by none other than the original Max who plans to destroy the world anyway, bitter at being replaced. At the last moment, the Sam from the alternate timeline shows up and leaves with him, solving the paradox and sealing the dimensions.

Thus, all the loose ends are tied up. Papierwaite is put in the dark dimension with Norrington again, much to both of their dismay and locked there for eternity.

But that's just all my ideas...

[funnybone567]

I'm kind of seeing Season 4 (or at least an episode of it) revolving around Sam and Max in the time machine, picking up past versions of themselves (comics, cartoon, Hit the Road, etc,..) to fight some new villain that they can't take down on their own.

[crfh]

Season 2 ended kind of ominously with Satan hinting that he'd be a future problem for Sam and Max, but then it simply was forgotten.

I'm perfectly happy with either mundane or epic shenanigans, but since we're throwing out ideas:

Chuckles is vicepresident now, and he's evil, and planning to kill Superball so he can become president.

Aditionally, Momma Bosco falls for Superball, and they have a baby that will look like the Alternate Bosco in Chariots of the Dogs (the one that had Superball as a daddy)

... I think I squicked myself.

[tabstis]

Just clearing up the Satan thing.

SATAN is the Devil - when he says he'll be seeing them soon, it's because they'll die within the next hundred years or so. :rolleyes:

[lombre]

So I was thinking, and if they decide to do a time-travel thing for Season 4, I would love to be able to go back to 1971 and cause the cancellation of Culture's Clubhouse. It'd be hilarious if Sam & Max were the ones to not only ruin Brady's show, but also secure that the Soda Poppers show continued without competition.

The Soda Poppers were on a completely different network. You could visit the Culture's Clubhouse studio and mess things up without bumping into the Soda Poppers even once.

[Ashton]

I loved the idea above about using the "forotten hat" as a tutorial.

Personally I see some events that are coming to a head that most of you seem to have forgotten... it seems Agent Superball is at the point where he can unleash whatever twisted scheme he has been working on. Remember all the odd occurrences when Superball shouldn't have been around, and he never explained them? and isnt it strange that he became president when it should be the VICE president (aka Sam) who takes over when Max is incapacitated? I think superball has some heinous scheme up his sleeve and it will finally be revealed!

Just clearing up the Satan thing.
SATAN is the Devil - when he says he'll be seeing them soon, it's because they'll die within the next hundred years or so. :rolleyes:

"whaddaya want? an exxxxxtension?" (sorry but that popped into my head when I read that post) And who's to say S+M will be able to be contained in Hell, after all they already wreaked havoc there once, and if only 1 of them dies the other will save him ALA 205 Max releasing Sam.

[funnybone567]

Didn't Max make Mr Spatula VP?

[jaden551]

yes he was but then he let superball take over after spatula died

[Ashton]

yes he was but then he let superball take over after spatula died

Didnt S+M kinda kill Mr Spatula...? and in what epp did Superball become VP?

[Gohaku]

Didnt S+M kinda kill Mr Spatula...? and in what epp did Superball become VP?

This also confuses me. I think I may have missed something, but how did he become the VP?

[Scnew]

I really don't want to see the season be about finding/resurrecting the original Max, or Sam and the new Max not getting along, or anything like that. Half of this season was already like that. 302 barely had the real Sam and Max. 303 started with Sam alone, then Sam and Sammunmak, then Sam and Max's brain. 305 didn't have the real Max in it at all. A lot of these suggestions sound like you want episode 306 instead of 401. I fully expect (and want) the next season to start with a call from the Commisioner like nothing was ever wrong. References to Season 3, of course, but not a whole new season built around the last one.

I don't know what to think from the sheer number of cross speculations, but I think the game developers idea of the whole thing is "it's just max, nothing more, nothing less" so people saying that the max at the end wasn't the REAL max need to stop looking into it so much, but on the other hand, he did blow himself up alongside skunkape's ship as a selfless act to stop skunkape so I agree, I don't know where I stand with it either!

[shref]

i can't believe i'm saying this. because i'm a HUGE fan of the sam & max games, especially this last season. but i think they should wait a few years before doing a 4th season. i dont want these games to get stale. maybe do a zak mcKraken in the meantime? :P

[Player_2]

You can leave the room, Shref.

(Just kidding. But honestly, a FEW YEARS?! Who CARES if it's boring and stale, I JUST WANT IT SOON.)

lol i was expecting a response like that. but they could make some more monkey island or revive zak mckraken or maniac mansion in the meantime :) more awesome series > 1 overdone series ;)

[Scrander]

My take on Season 4: we'd probably see a major Sam and Max case through the eyes of another person a la Raiden from MGS2. Political and conspiracy thriller parodies abound. Sam and Max are mentioned but only show up near the season's end. Fan backlash, corny references to other video games (Bluster Blaster as THE PATRIOTS), etc.

[crfh]

Seriously no I want my Sam and Max right now if not sooner.

But that's just all my ideas...
i like your idea its nice i like it new people new evil new season and also i have a idea for a name sam and max and the world to come if i was at telltalegames like a boss or something i would let you be my idol for ideas good job

[Razor512]

*cries* they're taking too long to release season 4

[SKYY]

Man--if TellTale releases ANYTHING, I have to buy it on conviction. You guys make awesome adventure games!

Specifically, if you release a 4th Series for Sam & Max, I'm yours.

Hell, if you released one series a year for the next 70 years, I'd die a happy (albeit poorer) man. :D

[doom saber]

I see season 4 being like a parallel type of season esp after Sam and Max went into the elevator time machine.

However, it migh get old quite fast considering that other previous eps like Reality 2.0 and They Stole Max's brain kinda plays into that.

I think the idea of someone saying that they revisit HTR would be a nice touch, but TT would probably have to get a license from LA if it is too blatant. I can see them, however, doing a loose or vague reference. For instance, having freelance police travelling back in time right after the events of HTR. I can imagine them somehow stopping stop the trees from overpopulating the globe. That could also explain the slight street inconsistancies betwee HTR and the TT games.

[seson3churious]

I have a feeling that the new Max is going to betray you at some point in season 4 or even be the villain. It makes sense because Telltale could never make the real Max be the villain because he was to attached to Sam and that would ruin the game because the game is called Sam and Max.

[divisionten]

Here's something for you: If Max has a hive mind like the developers claim, and Max Prime is now gleefully messing around in Hell, could both Maxes communicate to each other via memories and the like? That would make for a pretty cool mechanic, too.

[crfh]

Steve Purcell said in his blog the only continuity he needs is Sam and Max themselves, and that he's not worried about making new things fit into old.

And seeing how the Max in Poker Night remember his psychic powers just as he never died, it's pretty safe to say there's no point in debating if the Max we're going to hopefully see in Season 4 is "the real Max".

[Player_2]

Does he really remember them, though? The only reference I've seen him make to them so far was referring to them as a weird dream he had. Not that it really matters, but I'm picky that way.

[crfh]

Well spoilers: he says like in three occasions that he can see your cards due to his psychic powers, or that his psychic powers are back but he's not using them to cheat, and he even gets out the future vision visor at some point

[GeorgeC]

I'd imagine the series will take a completely different spin, although loosely being based on some of the events in season 3!

[The Gentleman]

In Poker Night, "Past Max" references 204. So yeah. Nothing to worry about on that front.

[Falanca]

I had a dream about Season 4. Starts in the basement and Max is waiting in Desoto- now a space rocket. When Sam jumps in they launch off and it triggers a minigame where Sam tries to catch one of the stars in the galaxy to put it in his inventory.

Oh and the game didn't have a fixed camera.

[GeorgeC]

If max dies in the last episode, how does he come back from the time machine if he is really dead?

[Ash735]

If max dies in the last episode, how does he come back from the time machine if he is really dead?

Play Season 2 Episode 4 to find out which timeline Max that is.

On in short, it's Max from a different timeline, Sam & Max messed up their own timeline and had to relive a year all over again as past Sam & Max stole the time machine.

[Player_2]

****SPOILERS FOR 305 ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'D BE HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN THAT YET BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF PATHETIC****

I just realized something. At the end of 305, all of Max's powers except for the astral projection were shorted out when he was electrocuted. So does that mean his ghost would be able to possess the alternate timeline Max that replaced him after the credits? That...would be pretty awesome.

****END OF THE SPOILERS FOR 305 ALTHOUGH I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'D BE HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEATEN THAT YET BECAUSE IT'S STILL PRETTY KIND OF PATHETIC****

Well, I did suggest that as a theory also. I personally think that it's a fantastic idea. Maybe it was too obvious in the writers' eyes? What I least expected was for Past Max to show up and have a HIVE MIND.That still bothers me a little- But eh, who can be sure... ;)

[Avel]

--Why did Bosco need 20 thousand dollars?

Bosco and B.B. were epic failures at counting cards, so...presumably to save his knee caps.

Also, DeathSpank's sequel wasn't in development at the same time as the first, it was part of the freakin' first game that got chopped into a second. Go watch so of the videos for the first, you'll see locations from the second in there.

[Fly]

Without getting too in-depth/set-up-for-disappointment/fanfiction-y about it, did anyone else pick up on President Superball's line in 305 about his 'superiors'? It's probably a conspiracy theory gag, but I know I'm curious!

If they did go there, that would also have the benefit of, potentially, not being too far a step down from Satan and Elder Gods. You could do pretty much anything with that idea.

The only other idea I have is that, since Noir Sam was so popular, he'll show up again... which will probably mean something awful (but temporary) happens to Max.

ALSO I HAVE A GOOD FEELING IT WILL BE A POINT-AND-CLICK ADVENTURE GAME, GUYS.

[Cheri]

Does he really remember them, though? The only reference I've seen him make to them so far was referring to them as a weird dream he had. Not that it really matters, but I'm picky that way.

Well, when he was beaten badly in one hand in Poker Night, he says: I haven't been beaten that bad since SOMEONE *looking at player* let Superball fire a giant missile into my chest!

So personally, I'd say he remembers.

[crfh]

I'd like to see Sam and Max tackle onto some mad science in Season 4. They have used it on their side, but I'd love to see a mad scientist villain.

[GeorgeC]

I had a dream I was browsing the web and I was on the telltale site, and there it was : SAM AND MAX SEASON 4 OUT NOW!

I couldn't actually buy it though, then I woke up.

Damn

[Butterscotch-Biros]

Hopefully, TTG re-visit that intriguing plot thread at the end of season 2 - you know when the Devil says to "the bug" of a possible business arrangement.

I was slightly miffed that wasn't included in the Devil's Playhouse. Especially as it included two really underused characters who I thought would get a bigger spotlight that season. But I guess it was just a red herring (along with season 3's title and the Devil's appearance in 305) to sway gamers from the real villian. :(

[SamXMax]

Spoilers for 305!!!

Personally, I wanna see the big bad as the "real" Max, who went to heaven thanks to his selfless act and, upon seeing that Sam has replaced him, goes into a freakout and enters an epic (player-controlled?) mode as he takes over heaven and sends various disasters his former friend's way. Of course, it will all be riddled with humor (Max: I die, and he just replaces me like some sort of goldfish? I'm gonna go on an online forum to complain about it and write a fix-fic about how it didn't happen!!), but still be pretty dark as Max sullenly forces Sam to make a choice.

Although if this does happen, my in-progress fic about this very scenario will be worthless.

I'd actually like to read that...post it when you're done? Please?

Because I'm a huge nerd, I'm already working on my OWN Sam-and-two-rival-Maxes fix.

Except for mine, it's not so much that the ghost Max is having a tantrum because he was replaced as that he's really lonely on his own and is trying to find a way to come back to life so that he can be friends with Sam again, even though he keeps getting warnings about trying to cling to the living world, and he tries using his astral projection to possess the living Max, and...yeah.

...I feel kind of embarrassed about admitting that.

Also this season had a disturbing lack of bosco.

I know this is different from what you're talking about but it reminds me...

There was a brief period of time where 204 time stream split Sam & Max were either the villains of the season or of an episode, but I think that in the end it seemed too insider to do that, so it was cut. We were all happy to get that weird time continuity madness into the end of 305, but not everyone agreed. :)

I (or someone else from whom I stole the idea) had pitched at one point that in Season 3 you actually play as the Sam and Max who steal the time machine in 204, to see where they go and what they do, as an excuse to do a semi-reboot -- open the season in the final act of 204 with the UFO about to self destruct, then follow the other Sam & Max instead of "our" Sam & Max -- but that was also way too weird and niche.

I'm glad that at the end of the day, Season 3 ended up with a story that follows linearly from Season 2, but with a reasonably clean break from all of the baggage right at the start, but I would have loved to see more of weird alternate timeline Sam & Max.

I would've been a little disappointed if season three wasn't about "our" Sam & Max, but it's still an interesting idea - maybe use it as a spin-off, or something? Another webcomic like "The Big Sleep," or a super-secret-bonus episode six, something like that.

I've started to storyboard a short animation called "Welcome to Hell, Please Hold" that details what happened to Max and Alt!Sam after they died- it also includes Stinkoman as he waits for someone to insert more quarters so he can be 'reincarnated' (Jurgen: Welcome to Hell, please take a num- oh, it's you again.) and Mike Lobb (Demonic Max: So, uh, for the record, date and cause of death? Lobb (Still frozen like a popsicle): Uh-uh-uh it wa-wa-ACHOO!, promptly sneezing ectoplasmic gunk all over Max) as well as a few others.

I'll work on it over winter break. Maybe I can harass some forum members to do some of the voices?

[Pantagruel's Friend]

I'm glad that at the end of the day, Season 3 ended up with a story that follows linearly from Season 2, but with a reasonably clean break from all of the baggage right at the start

For me, it was a major plus in S3. As much as I love Season 2, I think it reasonably exploited all its resources, and going forward with something in the same vein would have inevitably mean going downward, too.

but I would have loved to see more of weird alternate timeline Sam & Max.

I would love to see anything more Sam&Max related - alternate or not. Hm. Probably that doesn't count, does it? :D

Wow, the alternate Sam and Max were brought in fairly early on as potential plot ideas. Some people (not me) thought the ending felt tacked on. I felt that it was intentional! If the plot got that convoluted, as you mentioned, I would've wanted 10 episodes! But, as you stated, too weird and niche.

Now I appreciate the ending a lot more than I did before. So, the writing team wanted to incorporate that time paradox into the story somehow? Well I have to say, it 'worked', but it wasn't the neatest of endings. Or was that intentional too...?:)

[Sausy Gibbon]

Now that Sam and Max have the time machine it would be neat if they created a third alternate version of the selves or maybe fifty alternate time clones. Sam and Max travel 5 minutes into the past relive those five minutes repeat untill there's a room full of them.

[vivisectme]

i don't even have season 3 it hasn't come to x box live i been playing seasons 1,2 a few time times waiting for the next one to come .

[Cyphox]

omg, i just finished season 3 and it was AWESOME!! :eek:

best and weirdest season so far!

looking forward to the next one!

[Silverfin007]

*SPOILER ALERT*

It just occured to me that at the end of season 3 Sam and ALT max have the time machine so they might be able to stop ALT sam an original max from dying

[dochuckle]

why not sam and max is cool and is got is a wiki

[dochuckle]

bye i am going to play sam and max

[1nky]

There's probably a dead thread of this somewhere, but I'm surprised that there isn't a discussion topic on this, specifically.

So, guys. What do you think's gonna happen next?

[Falanca]

There was a thread I guess, but the possibilities are so endless and most of them are just so random it's turned into another forum game. There is no point on speculating though, really. Not like anyone will turn out to be RIGHT when it finally comes out.

[1nky]

There's a point - I saw that thread just now, actually.

Just attempting to wake up this forum, a little. :/

[ThatoneJeff]

*Hits snooze*

Wake me up after ToMI Season 2.

[Triloge]

It's probably going to be lighter than The Devil's Playhouse, or at least start out lighter and again slowly move back into dark territory. It might focus on Sam as last season did on Max. The epic level will be further down on the scale, closer to season one and two.

Watch as I'm completely and utterly wrong.

[nikodem123asdf]

they might try to make a season about electromagnetic sam but i doubt it would be as good as devils playhouse since we know the ending thou they might put some twist into it but Meh...

[GeorgeC]

I hope we get the office back! I loved wandering around in there at the start of each episode clicking on all the stuff and shooting out the window (Which always gets a laugh)

Apart from that, I'm a bit concerned because telltale haven't even confirmed a fourth season yet :(
Will they? And if yes, out this year maybe?

[Shyguy]

Telltale hasn't let me down with any of the season's so far. My only thought at this point is if they will even make a season four. I really hope they do however.

[GeorgeC]

[Shyguy]

My biggest fear is if they sellout to another company and they ruin the image of Sam&Max, kinda like Crash Bandicoot. Horrifying.

[Irishmile]

I want them to go on a road trip..... I really liked the Hit the Road vibe of traveling....

Maybe they could search for Sybil's kidnapped baby... Simple plot... but more locations and unique new characters...

Get them away from all too familiar locations and people.

[Vyse220]

What if season 3 is their last season?

Honestly I hope Sam & Max have a lot of new games, there is nothing bad about this if they can make games like the first 3 seasons

what about something on their past? How do they met and found the freelance police, etc

[crfh]

I'd like Sam and Max to go to space, for reals, not just in a ufo

With the toybox gone I'm not sure there's a reason for retaining Yog Soggoth.

They'll probably keep him as a friend or something zany

[Randulf]

With the toybox gone I'm not sure there's a reason for retaining Yog Soggoth.
But Papierwaite has lived far beyond his normal lifespan. If he gets separated from Yoggy he might just die.

[LinkTheHero64]

It was never revealed what happened to Paperwaite so I can see him reappearing. My guess is it'll have a lot of the character who were absent from Devil's Playhouse (Two-teeths, Bosco, Leonard, etc).

And I'd love to see the office brought back as well.

[Nintendo Boy1]

Judging by this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE7UnH_vMYw)

General Skunkape uses the cloning chamber to clone himself, girl stinky, and possibly Samunmax too. Mind controls Past Max into going back in the past with parts of their DNA and putting tit in the cloning chamber t make duplicates of after Sam and Max Prime (real S&M) leave to battle Charrlie-ho-tep. THEN Max travels forward in time to where Sam Prime is near the statue of liberty, invite him to fight crimes in the future where Sam Prime must stop Skunkape the II's evil plan.

[DAISHI]

Wait are we interested in Papierwaite sticking around or Yog Soggoth? I could see Papierewaite sticking about since he's a wizardy thing. I don't know why Yog would want to stick around on the earthly plain though.

[ragdoll556]

It's not like he's got a choice in the matter. He's been trying to escape from paperwaite's "lady-like torso" for decades. Even after the toybox was destroyed he had no success returning home.

[DAISHI]

Hmmm you're probably right and I just don't remember the dialogue.

[Icedhope]

I have to agree with Irishmile, though I did love the charachters for the last three seasons, I think it calls for a roadtrip across the country, and solving cases in a certain region of the country..because honestly we've seen it all before...

[ragdoll556]

yeah, an entirely new cast and location would be interesting. Though some short appearances by previously introduced characters, such as sybil's baby, would be appreciated.

[Vainamoinen]

Effing Mack Salmon as one of the villains.

If I remember correctly, they tried to do this in Season 2, but Steve Purcell didn't want that. Seems like he wants that character for himself... ;)

[...] Get them away from all too familiar locations and people.

Yeah, the road trip idea! Actually, Season 3 had a lot of never-before-seen locations, and felt far more newyorky than ever before. We didn't even have a glimpse of the office! As for recurring characters, Season 4 could well take after Tales of Monkey Island, where TTG resisted the all too common fanboy urge to have as many old faces as possible, and if there were old faces, they might only have a cameo in one episode. That said, I'd miss Sybil (and as much as I can say against episode 5, Sybil's return was just great). But I could even do without the C.O.P.S. ... well, for one season at least. :D

Sam & Max could travel across the country again, or even plunge through space (hinthint) for a decent road movie game experience. The DeSoto was rather underrepresented in Season 3 (after all, it's still possessed!). The storyline should be even more planned beforehand as in Season 3 and have more of a story arc. I'd want the driving minigames to return, sort of (either earth-bound or in space).

[Klatuu]

The "flaming Max head" image appeared before the flaming Max heads in Season 3. If that's any indication, then Season 4 may feature devilish black Max imps.

[calvinandhobbesfan]

I want them to use that "slime ball" Ferrari F40 they rented out to replace their DeSoto whilst it gets de-demonized (?) Although they DID break that in the comics!

Sam & Max Episode 404: Police Not Found

Oh yeah, one of Season 4's episodes will be 404, won't it? I can't wait to see what Telltale does with that.

[Shyguy]

A spinoff game starring Flint Paper. Hahaha.

[SamXMax]

I'm kinda hoping for some Season 3 or epicer (that's a word now) stuff. I had a weird theory involving dead Max wreaking havoc in heaven and being S4's villain in the other thread, but I'm not too sure...

[seson3churious]

yeah, I renember that thread... when you made a dialog about the ending in episode 404, something like this:
Max: Long time no see, Sam
Sam: But I'm right next to you little buddy...
Max: I didn't say anything
And then they turn around and see past max (as a ghost)
That was genius!

[queen_of_the_lobsters]

A spinoff game starring Flint Paper. Hahaha.

No man; A spinoff RADIO SHOW starring Flint Paper. Telltale tooled around with doing one before. Shame they never followed through.

[Harald B]

If I remember correctly, they tried to do this in Season 2, but Steve Purcell didn't want that. Seems like he wants that character for himself... ;)Depending on what they were going to use him for, I can kind of get that. In my opinion one of the worst things that could happen is a ToMI-style twist where the events from all the previous games are retroactively orchestrated by Mack Salmon. Bleh.

[lombre]

If I remember the commentary correctly, they were originally going to make Mr. Spatula turn into Mack Salmon in Moai Better Blues, but Steve didn't want Mack Salmon to have any sort of backstory.

[MaximeLoonatic]

OK, brainstorm!
Let's said what we would like to see in the future's Sam and Max's games. At least three for person at week.
Me first!
1- I want to see Sybils baby! It's a boy or girl? It's an statue as like the father, or maybe it's half stone?
2- I found funny the thing to play as Max in the season 3. Like fighting in a wild combat jam!
3- Like the games makes jokes with things like internet, TV shows, the Hell... I wonder what will do in a case about fairy tales characters?? Like Cinderella, The Pied Piper, The singing Bone... Oh, the little Red Ridding Hood, I bet they could made a awsome Red Ridding Hood!!

Next!

[StrongBrush1]

Time to Ressurrect another Old Thread.

Why did I do this, you may ask?

It's because I want to know if People Care or not.

also i have a feeling it will be a point-and-click adventure game, guys.

damn, you're smart. and why aren't my caps working anymore?

[Koalee]

There are a whole lot of new games that are in progress apparently, so Sam and Max season 4 probably will not make it until season 4

[BoneCrusher]

I really hope there is going to be another S & M season but if they are going to make it I dont think it would be any time soon.

[techgeek07]

Any word on if season 4 is in the works, yet?

[puzzlebox]

Any word on if season 4 is in the works, yet?

Nothing's been announced yet, and to be honest I'd be pretty surprised if we heard anything on a season 4 any time soon. Telltale has a bunch of other projects lined up (Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, King's Quest, Fables, Puzzle Agent 2, Law and Order)... so personally I think it will be a while before they get back to Sam & Max.

[Vainamoinen]

Don't give up hope, though. Before "Law & Order", we thought that it would be two years before any new announcement could possibly be made. :D

[Jake]

*SPOILER ALERT*

It just occured to me that at the end of season 3 Sam and ALT max have the time machine so they might be able to stop ALT sam an original max from dying

Well, there are two endings and only in one of them do they have the time machine. So in the Ending 1 Dimension, where they take the time machine to go mess with the universe, maybe they can "fix" that problem, but in the Ending 2 Dimension where they stuck around in New York, Alt Sam is SOL.

I imagine there are ways to make this whole situation more complicated, but I don't want to think of them.
