Jaws: The Game

No amount of endless inventory space could fit a bigger boat. The player would be screwed.

[SHODANFreeman]

Stuff I would like to see Telltale do:

Make games that include puzzles not able to be solved by a 4 year old.

Hire better/more texture artists, modelers, and animators, and/or increase the budget for them.

If they can't manage at least the first one, then I would very much like to see them go out of business.

That's a pretty harsh stance for someone who has spent 5 years and 3000+ posts for them. You do know you can just leave and not buy the games, right? Life's full of choices.

..and I think I would still be for Beavis and Butt-head. After-all, what better suits mindless dialogue and puzzles a 4 yr old can solve?

If you had a friend that started making really horrible life choices, would you try to help your friend realize their mistake and get back on the right track, or just ignore them and go find a new friend?

Stand on their heads and do the hustle!

LOL I think that is what he pretty much did say... if they don't change that is.

A Rodgers and Hammerstein musical with a full pit orchestra and lots of random tap dancing.

Coming this fall from Telltale Games: Lou Rawls the Game.

[Chyron8472]

Do LEGO Lord of the Rings!


but seriously. Monkey Island 6.

please?

[RAnthonyMahan]

Something original.

Don't get me wrong, I admire Telltale's ability to make licensed games not suck, and I appreciate how they always treat those licenses with respect, but I feel like they could benefit from their own IP. (And don't say Puzzle Agent. That's a good start, but it was just two short stand-alone games.)

1. With licensed games, there's always the potential for licensing issues to happen later down the line. Hell, despite still being a fairly new company Telltale's already gone through plenty of licensing trouble. We're probably never going to see the rest of Bone, or the long-ago promised Mac version of Wallace and Gromit, or worst of all, Monkey Island 6. If Telltale had a series of their own that they're free to do with as they please, there'd be no such issue.

2. On that note, there's the issue of name recognition. Now, I know that seems a strange thing to bring up since name recognition is presumably why Telltale only does licensed games in the first place. People like familiarity. That's why these days every big video game is a sequel, and every big movie is an adaptation. Telltale can get more attention by announcing a Sam and Max game or a Back to the Future game than a game full of characters that nobody's heard of. But there's also the matter of name recognition in the long term. If I name a game company, you can probably name quite a few series they own. With Nintendo, there's Mario and Zelda. With Capcom, there's Street Fighter and Resident Evil. With Valve, there's Half-Life and Portal. With Telltale, there's...Puzzle Agent and...Telltale Texas Hold 'Em? I know making something original means no name recognition at first, but it can bring extra name recognition in the future. Right now if I name all of Telltale's best games, I'd only be naming series created by someone else.

3. More freedom. Like I said before, when Telltale does a licensed game they try to respect the license, make the game feel like a proper part of the franchise. And that's definitely not a bad thing. At the same time, though, it comes with constraints. When Back to the Future was first announced, a tiny part of me was expecting some Day of the Tentacle-style time travel puzzles (especially since Telltale had done such a thing twice before). But that didn't happen. And of course it couldn't. In BttF, time travel is inherently dangerous. Marty would never just recklessly go through different time periods again and again. Anyway, Telltale wouldn't have to worry about being faithful to the source if there's no source to be faithful to. With an original game, they'd be allowed to make...well, anything they want!

4. This is the big one for me. Maybe I'm not as versed in pop culture as the rest of you, but if you asked me to name all the pre-existing licenses that would work as an episodic point-and-click adventure game, it'd be a pretty short list. And it probably wouldn't include Jurassic Park or The Walking Dead. I got into Telltale mainly because I love adventure games, and hopefully they'll never abandon that format. I'm a little skeptical about the idea of Telltale doing licensed stuff indefinitely, because eventually they could run out of licenses that make sense.

[SHODANFreeman]

(And don't say Puzzle Agent. That's a good start, but it was just two short stand-alone games.)

It also wasn't original. It used the Grickle license.

[RAnthonyMahan]

It also wasn't original. It used the Grickle license.

Well, yeah, it is licensed. But since it has an original plot/setting/characters (and if I remember correctly it says it's owned by Telltale in the logo screen) I suppose it's...in some odd limbo state between licensed and original.

Either way, though, I'd like to see Telltale make something completely new.

[coolsome]

Make an unstoppable killing monster and unleash it on the universe.

Why shouldn't Blade Runner be a game?
They should try to do some of the original Holmes stories by Doyle.
Do a Bond game more about being a spy than being an action hero
Timeline has a lot of potential.
I've seen a lot of people saying that Telltale should do Maniac Mansion.
The Thing can be as thrilling a game as it was a movie.
Pirate Latitudes was the novel Michael Crichton wrote before he died in 2008.
No one has EVER done a game based on Stephen King.
Do what Jaws: The Revenge didn't do: not suck.
Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. A episodic murder mystery based on a classic book.

Do a POTC game that shows a younger Jack Sparrow as the protagonist.
North by Northwest. 'Nuff said.
YOU KNOW you want an Indiana Jones game.

[Terpor]

I wish Telltale would make a Pink Panther game that is based after Peter Seller's Pink Panther movies.

How can they do The Pink Panther? Unless they actually know how to do slapstick in animation, there is no chance that this will happen.

[doodo!]

Make a TTG gangster rap with that guy that voices Guybrush, and that guy that does the Sam and Max voices, etc etc

[Andorxor]

- Selling real Max hats
- Releasing more infos on Fable
- Painting the moon pink

[Darth Marsden]

Do a Bond game more about being a spy than being an action heroCan't let this pass, sorry. But James Bond, despite actually being a spy, has rarely, if ever, been anything other than an action hero. In the original books maybe, but everything else has painted him as a superstar badass, especially the movies. I can count the number of times he's acted like a real spy on one hand.

It's hard to shake the feeling that if you made a Bond game where you don't do something awesome every 15 seconds it wouldn't feel like a Bond game.

[doodo!]

Why pink?:p

[coolsome]

A strip tease.

[doodo!]

A strip tease.

Oh, I see. I thought it was because she wanted to bring back pink.

[coolsome]

Oh, I see. I thought it was because she wanted to bring back pink.

No thats just what I wana see from TTG. Unless other people agree. Then we can make it a movment.

Point taken.

It's not much of a original tale though. There needs to be more tale in it, like if the moon turns pink, THENNNNN a strip tease, I might be on board...

And besides it will give Pink the big come back she's been waiting for...

[LikaLaruku]

Stuff I'd love TellTale to make games for. All cartoons, but aimed at the older fans.

*Adventure Time.
*Regular Show.
*Penny Arcade, where Gabe has Rigby's voice & Tycho has Mordecai's voice.
*Friendship is Magic (the Bronies will definitely pony up the cash).
*Neurotically Yours.
*Invader Zim or some other Jhonen Vasquez thing.
*Real Ghostbusters (& in 2D).
*Men in Black (based off the TV series).

[Shadowknight1]

Another problem with licensed games, and one that I think hurt Back to the Future, is that they can be rushed at times.

[StrongBrush1]

*Friendship is Magic (the Bronies will definitely pony up the cash).


Am I the only other person who thinks that this would be interesting?

[coolsome]

Tell us something about the law and order games status!!

[BoBo08081997]

They should make a telltale games version of the Sherlock Holmes classics

[RAnthonyMahan]

Oh, come on. The thread's still on the front page. (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26580)

Anyway, I'll say what I said there. I'd rather have Telltale make an original IP than take on another licensed game, for many, many reasons.

But if I must name a license, I'd love to see a full adventure game based on TF2. Not as much as I want something original, though. >_>

[OzzieMonkey]

For some reason, I'd really like Telltale to do a Star Trek game.

[doodo!]

Prove God really made Christianity...

[bobber56]

Prove God really made Christianity...

I hate atheists.

[flesk]

I hate atheists.

What happened to "love thy neighbour as thyself"?

I know proof doesn't have a place in religion, and I'd be the first to admit dodoo! can be quite annoying at times, but I think that comment was innocent enough.

[coolsome]

I hate atheists.

What about the ones who just don't believe in god but don't care if others do. Cos Iv never gone round trying to convert people to athism.

EDIT
All Doodo did was make a joke anyway.

[VeronicanPlay]

A TinTin adventure game could be fun. :)

[coolsome]

A Johnny English game.

No maybe it is somthing I want to see TTG do.

No, I meant that it might work. It's actually a good idea

[bobber56]

I actually made this thread so they can say what kind of games they want Telltale to do. So get back to game talk, or I keel you!

[bobber56]

Get this discussion back to Telltale game stuff or it gets locked.

Why, has it happened before?

[coolsome]

A Poirot game!!!

[bobber56]

A Poirot game!!!

Great idea! Why didn't I think of that?

[Xianis]

Pick up Full Throttle: Hell On Wheels and make it shine like they did Sam & Max.

The world needs more Ben Throttle.

[coolsome]

Great idea! Why didn't I think of that?

If I say it enough times they will have to make it! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InsaneTrollLogic)

[bobber56]

Maybe they should do Agatha Christie's They Came to Baghdad. You learn a lot from reading.

[VeronicanPlay]

Pick up Full Throttle: Hell On Wheels and make it shine like they did Sam & Max.

The world needs more Ben Throttle.

I agree with that. Well not so much that it has to be Hell On Wheels, can even be their own story if they want to.

But I wonder who will voice Ben now that Roy Konrad is not with us any more.
I am sure it can be done though, there are many talented voice actors out there.

[bobber56]

Hell On Wheels

One AMC show at a time, please.

[Nintendo Boy1]

I think this has been said but I REALLY want to see them do Animaniacs. Think about it, the charm and wit of the characters will fit perfectly for a Telltale Adventure Game setting

[OzzieMonkey]

Toy Story.

[seizer]

you guy have too take over the lucas arts game full throttle 2 i got so excited when i heard that it was going to be made but my hope of the epic game release was dashed when lucas arts pull focus on there great range of game titles to flog the dead horse that is the starwars franchise just wanted to know if there was any chance of a reboot of this game????
:D CHEER SeiZeR

[Chyron8472]

I would like to see them do a season of one of the 90's cartoon franchises I grew up with, such as:

DuckTales
Darkwing Duck
Batman: The Animated Series
Animaniacs

[bobber56]

Batman: The Animated Series


I don't see how they could without ripping off Rocksteady.

[Teh_Saccade]

Moar Monkey Island and maybe (just maybe) some Red Dwarf :rocks:

I have a text adventure game of it that it nigh on impossible, and doesn't really have anything to do with Red Dwarf other than the characters (who aren't "in-character).

Yea, I'd really like to see a Red Dwarf game at some point... Maybe I'll do one in TADS and fashion it like the old Legend Spellcasting 101 style games, with just pictures or in AGS if I'm feelin adventurous.

[Rather Dashing]

how about a game about batman

[JedExodus]

how about a game about batman

He is the worlds greatest detective sarky pants.

[Rather Dashing]

exactly he could solve cases and look at clues and have a utility belt inventory

use shark repellent on shark

[GuruGuru214]

I feel I should put a stop to this, but I don't know if I have the heart right now.

[Rather Dashing]

who should the villain be i think it should be the riddler because he does riddles and adventure games have riddles he could do riddles like what can you use to get rid of a shark also warner bros does the films for batman and harry potter so we should have a crossover where it is revealed that the riddler is actually tom riddle and batman can learn magic at hogwarts to add to his crime fighting skills i think that would be a cool plot twist and hogwarts would be a great location for batman to do mysteries in because the harry potter books have lots of mysteries in them

[GuruGuru214]

No.
