I wonder what TTG is trying to telling us?

We have the following hints regarding their next project:

Clues:
1. Sam and Max Season 3 -Announced, no release date - Joystiq
2. Next IP going to be dark/non-comedy -Davies (please confirm)
3. Another Planet ? - (Sam And Max or new IP)Tweet(Misleading)
4. Telltale was definitely considering LOOM Total PC-Gaming
5. Telltale and Lucasarts partnership- Gameindustry
6. CSI connects Telltale to Ubisoft (and CBS) Ubisoft CBS
7. Something about offering a Soul.Tweet (Misleading)
Interpretation of clues:
#3.1 Moon (by Gryffalio)
#3.2 Space (by Secret Fawful)

Suspected IPs:
Loom -Lead: #4 #5
The Dig -Lead: #2 #3 #5
Maniac Mansion Lost In Space (by Secret Fawful) -Lead:#3.2 #5

#3... Futurama? Dr. Who? Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? Dark Crystal? Star Wars?

dentbuds · 11/15/2009, 10:21 am

Maybe it could be Alf. Or Star Trek

bambi · 11/15/2009, 10:45 am

Interesting suggestions. Is there maybe any other reason to connect these ips to telltale? I have seen the topics but i didn't seem to find any hints?

dentbuds · 11/15/2009, 11:11 am

Well, I guess Alf wouldn't work, for it wouldn't be very "dark." He is from another planet, though. Star Trek could work ok, but its unlikely that telltale would use it, simply because. Its not really comedy based. I really like the idea of a Loom game, and I think it would be perfect.

jp-30 · 11/15/2009, 11:21 am

They've indicated they have a non-comedy game in the works (likely the 'dark' IP).

Good to know. now what dark games can telltale have that is dark. hmmm...

Gryffalio · 11/15/2009, 11:51 am

Telltale doing non-comedy?!

Only thing I can think of is they're hinting something to do with the moon ("closest" to going to another plant).

Although I doubt it is, a modern sequel to The Dig would be quite fun.

GaryCXJk · 11/15/2009, 12:05 pm

Guys, it's quite obvious. It's CSI: In Space.

LuigiHann · 11/15/2009, 01:50 pm

Eavesdropping just means they overheard somebody say it. They were probably talking about doing salvia.

Spadge · 11/15/2009, 02:30 pm

Maybe NASA is just putting a copy of every Telltale Game inside a deep space probe, hoping aliens would play the games and see how advansed and awesome the human race is.

Secret Fawful · 11/15/2009, 03:33 pm

Ever consider the idea that the next Maniac Mansion game might take place on other planets? However, I really, truly, hope for a Futurama game.

This makes a lot of sense.

Who owns the rights to Space Quest nowadays?

Holy cr- it couldn't be, could it? Now I really don't know what to expect.

*Irishmile* · 11/15/2009, 05:37 pm

It would be a smart fit... Space Quest did have a similar sense of humor that most TTG games have..

I would definitely play it
