Telltale Games

OCKi · 07/10/2009, 10:56 am

I think it only will be new islands. Remember the map on on the Screaming Narwhal? It would be cool to visit all these islands.

feverfew · 07/10/2009, 12:35 pm

BUt there weren't many of them on that map. There are Jerkbait Islands (probably NW), the Rock of Gelato (NE), Flotsam Island (SE), two unnamed sandy cays (SW) and a small island on the verge (NE). I think we can safely assume that episodes may take place on larger islands only. So, we have Flotsam and Jerbait Islands (which are so close that they'll probably be featured as one) and that's pretty much all. Unless Telltale wants to reuse islands between episodes, I believe there'll be some new ones (2 sets are simply not enough!)

CaptainWicket · 07/10/2009, 01:19 pm

Like most, I would prefer to see all new islands, but if I had to choose, I would say Blood. Mostly, I hope that we won't be visiting Monkey Island. There's something about it that always seemed really dull to me. It was my least favorite part of both Secret and Escape.

I kind of feel the same way....... Flotsam actually reminded me alot of Monkey Island.... so if they go there in this game it will seem kind of repetitive.

I look forward to seeing some more unique Islands from TTG I have faith they will show us something special.

Those are not to many islands...

Making the game appealing for new audiences meant some other old favorites had to be left behind, a fact which may not sit well with longtime fans of the series. "Some old faces will occasionally make an appearance, but for the most part, Tales of Monkey Island takes place on a whole new set of islands, having too many old characters return might feel forced," Darin explains.

Can any TellTale member elaborate on those five words? Puh-leeze?

Dangerzone · 07/29/2009, 10:36 am

I doubt the flotsam jungle will be part of a later episode... But the town? Sure, I can see it making a return.

There's a courthouse we never got to visit and an episode with the word trial in it so chances are we get to see Flotsam more than once.

I believe the map on narwhal covers the entire area in Tales, but then, maybe there's a mystery island like the one in King's Quest VI.

I really hope that there'll be more than that. I mean, there are Jerkbait Islands, Rock of Gelato ( a pretty dull place to set an episode) and... Flotsam. Simply not enough! If they can't think of anything new, please reuse Blood/Plunder

Just realised that there's another episode, Lair of the Leviathan, that does not seem to need an entire new island, just a new large location. But who knows, I for one would be thrilled if we get to visit some of the older islands!

Hitman · 07/29/2009, 11:52 am

I don't really care that much about older islands because:

1) they will look significantly different (except maybe the ones from EfMI)
2) it's just a name after all

What I WOULD like to see is some NIGHT time islands and hopefully one island per episode.

moorere · 07/29/2009, 12:35 pm

just out of curiosity are we sure the game is even set in the tri-island area cuz im pretty sure they mentioned a new area wen u look at the map

turingmachine604 · 07/29/2009, 12:35 pm

Honestly, with us most likely visiting Flotsam Island, the Jerkbait Islands (plural), the Rock of Gelato, and Spinner Cay in future episodes (and the constraints of Telltale's production schedule). I highly doubt we'd be revisiting any old islands at all.

Plus, not to mention Flotsam and the like are in the Gulf of Melange not the Tri-Island Area. It would seem odd to sail all the way to another part of the Caribbean for just one episode.

Edit:

There's also the chance that a good part of one or more episodes will take place at sea.

I really doubt that the Rock of Gelato will be used as an only location for a single episode. Come to think of it, it's pretty small and dull (as far as we know). Moreover, I bet Spinner Cay's just a part of Jerkbait Islands. I believe that these two NW are Jerkbaits, with the Cay between them. Recent artworks of the Vaycaylian (?) city resemble the structure seen on the map, so it'd be probable. The Jerkbait Islands will probably feature as the location of the next episode.

The episode on the sea would be fine, but how would it look like? On several ships? On one? What about the characters? I doubt they'd give us that (though it'd be a treat, if made right).

We don't know the distance between the Tri-Island Area and the Gulf of Melange. It's possible that they border each other, so some crossings between them would not be impossible

But I realise that to introduce an old island and recapture its oldschool charm would be a hellishly difficult thing to do right.

Maybe, Monkey Island will feature. I pray for Blood, but it's nigh impossible in this situation. Oh well, I can take everything, as long as I get one charming night-time island (see Blood)

thatdude98 · 07/29/2009, 03:08 pm

marzipan... for reasons I can't explain...

meander · 07/30/2009, 03:55 pm

A sea episode, particularly if it's Lair of the Leviathan, could actually take place underwater (since one would assume a giant sea creature would have its lair in an undersea cave). This could also mean visiting a mermaid city!

As to breathing... well Guybrush can hold his breath ten minutes... or there's always voodoo spells...

TookiGuy · 07/30/2009, 04:06 pm

A large island like Plunder/Blood wouldn't be possible in 3D with the Wii's 40 MB limit, though. Unless they cut down most of the areas (ex - going to the Plunder island port for something).

Bernus · 07/31/2009, 07:53 am

didnt someone from telltale say in an interview regarding if we see old islands, "that may be possible." and the word may was important for him (as in melee). an from the structur of this sentence and with a little thinking, it sounded like "that melee island be possible".
Sure no true fact, but nethertheless a small posibillity.

snip3z4kills · 08/08/2009, 06:03 pm

Spittle and Pinchpenny, two islands in EMI that were on the map, but you couldn't go there.

They looked far too touristy for my liking
