What Universal Pictures franchise would you like next?

[zmally]

Personally, I'd love to see Telltale take on Johnny English, and with a new film due out this year, isn't entirely impossible is it?

What would you like?

[OzzieMonkey]

Scott Pilgrim FTW!

[ShaggE]

Scott Pilgrim FTW!

So very, VERY seconded. Not just because I'm such a fanboy of the franchise, but because it lends itself perfectly to the episodic format. The XBLA/PSN game was great, but now we need one that focuses on the interactions.

[doggans]

Do NBC shows count? Because I'd love a "Community" game. There's even already an "official" animation style for the characters!

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

Columbo!!

[taumel]

How about Conan?

Schwarzenegger will have some time again and people wouldn't even expect stuff like puzzles. Sounds like a perfect fit to me.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

The Blues Brothers!!

[Icedhope]

Did someone throw out Tremors?

[redm]

Jurassic park

or king kong <----- good idea!!!

[zmally]

I didn't realise they had all these good franchises! Blues Brothers and King Kong would make great p+c games in my opinion!

I can't see a Scott Pilgrim game, because another dev already has the contract, and I don't think it would class as a Universal franchise, because it was originally a comic, not a film. I think Dark Horse was the original publisher, so a deal would need to be struck with them...

Surely Back To The Future and Jurassic Park can't be the only games in this deal...?

[JedExodus]

No King Ralph then?

They own Sliders right? I would love a Sliders episodic game.

'Twas Oni Press, for the record.

Didn't even think of that! Sliders would work perfectly in an episodic format.

[mathman77]

YES! That's one of my favorite shows right now! Each episode could be a movie parody, like the paintball and zombie episodes.

I would like that too, though only if it was based around seasons 1 & 2. After that it went downhill, fast.

(also with a new film due out this or next year - though don't know if the new one will also be on Universal)

[Secret Fawful]

Well if you can bring up The Dark Crystal, then I can bring up-

YES YES YES YES YES!!!

Every childhood dream of mine suddenly forms into place :D

[taumel]

Oh, but if we can have Don Bluth then why not Dragon's Lair?! That would be a perfect scenario for an adventure.

Well, how about, screw the entire series. Instead of playing with Earth Prime Quinn Mallory, why not a completely new Quinn Mallory? That way you have the full original cast (Wade Wells, Rembrandt Brown, Maximillian Arturo), or you could even play with the Arturo-less cast, as seen in one of the episodes, where professor Arturo never tagged along with them. You'll encounter various Arturos during your travels, and when you finally arrive at your home planet... it has been overrun by Kromaggs. Then you'll meet up with the Arturo that gets left behind, and you'll finally find out if it's Earth Prime Arturo or the other Arturo.

Oh man, Telltale should hire me. Then we'll finally make that game featuring Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and Rob Schneider.

I didn't know Universal owned Dragon's Lair.

[taumel]

I don't think they do but i read Don Bluth in your poster and was thinking slightly outside the box.

Oh all those deadly and funny puzzle you would need to pass...hmmm!

[silverstone]

Jurassic Park...

[Vainamoinen]

SERENITY! If Joss Whedon can't do a proper movie follow-up to his "Firefly"-series, maybe TTG can do a proper game.

but aren't they all dead, near enough?

[doggans]

YES! That's one of my favorite shows right now! Each episode could be a movie parody, like the paintball and zombie episodes.

And Abed could narrate the tutorial, saying things like "Well, if this was a point and click adventure..."

Actually, while I'm thinking of NBC shows...if they don't mind returning to the time travel well, Quantum Leap would be absolutely perfect for an episodic game.

[Remolay]

Doggans, that was my second choice after Sliders. I loved watching both Slider and Quantum Leap. But would it work? I thought they actually ended that one on an ending.

I'd love a Sliders or Quantum Leap game. :)

Quantum Leap's series finale brought up more questions than it answered and it ended on a cliff-hanger. The ending was meant to be a cliff-hanger that would lead onto the premiere of season 6, but when the series was officially canceled, they edited the end to make it into a last episode. The ending was so rushed, they even spelled Sam's last name wrong. Dr. Samuel Becket never returned home. (instead of Beckett)

[Vainamoinen]

Well, I say ignore the movie and do an alternate reality.

[adventureaddict]

Okay, ohmygod. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Gumby adventure game. My life would be complete.
Also since The Dark Crystal was mentioned, I'm only obliged to mention Labyrinth. Oh yes, I would die a happy woman then.
Damn this thread and all it's good ideas.

[Irishmile]

SERENITY! If Joss Whedon can't do a proper movie follow-up to his "Firefly"-series, maybe TTG can do a proper game.

Cant we all go back to just calling if Firefly? Also I would sell Dave Grossman's soul for TTG to make a Firefly game.

[Vainamoinen]

Where did you get Dave Grossman's soul?

[Irishmile]

bought it on ebay :p There wasnt a certificate of authentication though so maybe I was ripped off.

Or worse yet it might be the anti video game Dave Grossman's because he is clearly missing one.

[tredlow]

Big fan of the show, and I would LOVE a Telltale Comunity game, but I don't want the characters to look like from the christmas episode. It was a great episode, and the visuals are great, but only because it's appropriate in stop-motion. In a 3D CGI game, it could do better.

Anyway, I found this pic (http://twitpic.com/3opjyn)when I was looking at Dan Harmon's Twitter.

What? HELL NO!!

Telltale is not good enough. Square Enix should do it.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

Howard the Duck!!

[Irishmile]

Isn't Jaws Universal?

[jannar85]

1. The Flintstones
2. The Chronicles of Riddick
3. Hulk
4. E.T

Children movies:
1. Casper
2. An American Tail (only based on the first and second)
3. The Land Before Time (only based on the first)

[doggans]

Howard the Duck!!

Given the state of activity of the franchise, I would imagine the licensing rights have reverted back to Marvel/Disney at this point. :P

[redm]

They should do a series that covers all of the classic movie monsters ie dracula, frankensteins creation, the mummy & the wolfman where all of them duke it out at the end that would be cool

also lets see
An American werewolf in London
The Thing
12 monkeys
as far as newer movies go geez I dunno Coraline?

Yeah, only, The Flintstones are Warner Bros. (they own all Hanna-Barbera property) and The Hulk is still Marvel. Casper is a Harvey Comics character, and Paramount released those Casper cartoon series.
