Telltale Games

Junaid · 06/01/2009, 01:55 pm

Cool, a private forum

Well first of all, thank you, thank you, thank you, will you marry me? and thank you!

Anyway, I found it funny that the look of Guybrush looks like his MI2 outfit. Over the years, most of the Monkey Island 5 fanart and fanfic featured a MI2-looking Guybrush, even including the beard. Paco Vink even did the april fools fake MI5 cover like that.

I bet this is not a coincidence is it?

BloodShed · 06/01/2009, 01:55 pm

I have one question in particular. Not to get ahead of myself... but does this new licensing partnership pave the way for (dare I say), the rebirth of the Full Throttle sequel?? I'm also thinking another Maniac Mansion sequel.

Not that I'm at all unsatisfied with whatever god-like power has brought us a new Monkey Island game. It's easily my favorite LucasArts franchise and I can't think of any other developer I'd trust to make it.

I don't even trust LucasArts to do it. So keep them at bay guys!

fire_and_a_rose · 06/01/2009, 01:58 pm

Questions...hmm...

Really, all I have is, "How can I convince you to go for Grim Fandango: The Series?" which I realize has very little to do with MI. But I'm basically content the game's coming at all.

So now, of course, I want you to make more! More licenses grabbed by TellTale, says I!

...And, for an actual on-topic question, I ask if Elaine's going to have an American or English accent in this game? (Oh, come on, it's got to be one of those details that just grates on SOMEONE else's nerves as well, right?)

*Lena_P* · 06/01/2009, 02:15 pm

First off, I love you all so much, in a totally platonic, respectful, not-a-stalker kind of way. Second of all, can I sign up for playtests, please? I'll bring hard tack, and I promise not to squeal. That much. And finally, Guybrush is starting to act more like Gally than Freddie. Threepwoods for ever!

mcfc98 · 06/01/2009, 02:16 pm

I preordered this almost as soon as I opened the announcement email. Thankyou Lord Gods of Amazing Surprises.

That being said, please don't pull a George Lucas on us with this stuff. This must be your best title to date. No pressure or anything!

So can we expect to see all the old characters back?

noaxark · 06/01/2009, 02:24 pm

It was like divine will guided my hand to my credit card when the announcement hit my inbox. Anyway, I'll join in on the chorus wondering whether the guy playing LeChuck will be back for the sequel and the remake.

Diduz · 06/01/2009, 02:46 pm

Hi, guys!
What about language support?
I hope you will follow the same W&G route (german-spanish-french-italian subtitles available at launch).

EwenW · 06/01/2009, 02:52 pm

Sorry if this has been asked already but I was wondering if you kind people could tell me if Tim Schafer has had any input in the new game?

Thank you

You don't know HOW long I've been waiting for a stranger on the internet to ask. Of course I will!

Kreeblah · 06/01/2009, 02:58 pm

I've had mixed feelings about the idea of a new Monkey Island game ever since I was severely disappointed by Escape from Monkey Island, but if anybody can do this right, I figure Telltale Games can.

I don't know whether you can share this information, but if you can, how did Lucasarts decide to let you make a Monkey Island game? Did you begin talking to them about it, or did they contact you?

Eduardo · 06/01/2009, 02:59 pm

Yes, yes, yes.

Mmm, to leave a question, is there any chance we may see Largo LaGrande? And the Men of Low Moral Fiber?

We would be crazy to reveal which characters are returning! Don't you want to be surprised?

I concur! Especially an announcement so explosive...I mean Monkey Island's cult following is pretty intense. A high school once even did a full one hour stage version of the game and yet you managed to totally catch us off guard.

Unrelated, to start the rumour train...

<COUGH>

GRIM FANDANGO...next?

rdhiggins · 06/01/2009, 03:07 pm

Is it July yet???? This is going to be a long 36 days.....

jamiehavok · 06/01/2009, 03:12 pm

hmm how will the locations be handled? like a different island per episode or each episode starting in same location then branching off like samnmax? or a bit of both?

This was the biggest surprise already!

I am in some kind of MI induced euphoria, so I can't think rationally!

Joe Newberry · 06/01/2009, 03:19 pm

I just watched the trailer, and oddly the main thing I came away from it wondering was...is Elaine tied up in the "rope bag" from Sam & Max?

*Jon* · 06/01/2009, 03:22 pm

The technical term is a 'rope sack', and it goes back further than s&m.

jorgevasquezp · 06/01/2009, 03:26 pm

Having more Monkey Island Games made in the spirit of adventure games of old times, and not just having a monkey island FPS with guybrush shooting at everything that moves, is quite awesome, so i thank you guys, all of you who are involved in the project for making it happen...
i have one question , i have always wanted some monkey island action figures, any chance it might happen ?

thanks again.

**dancon** · 06/01/2009, 03:36 pm

Wow there are a lot of questions here..Before I answer anything, I just want to say Thank You for pre ordering Tales of Monkey Island, and for all of the support.

As far as how we kept it quiet, I think part of it was the rumor had gone on for so long that nobody believed anything they heard, until it was official.

Its a great day for Telltale and we are happy to finally be able to announce this.
