Random ideas off the top of my head: (The) Legend(s) of Monkey Island, Journey to Monkey Island, The Fortress of Monkey Island.

I say it should be Tales 2, if that game will turn out to use the same graphics and engine and all. After all, all games in the franchise differ greatly from each other.

I like the Tales name, and wouldn't be too fussed if they simply called it Tales: Season 2, or some sort of subtitle. But all the games have had different names, so I really think they should continue the trend and call it 'The -something- of Monkey Island'.

Even if MI2 didn't really do this

This already happened in another thread. Can't be bothered to look it up

I think the general consensus was, indeed, Return to Monkey Island. Which is, of course, the best possible title the next season could ever possibly had, and since I came up with it first, I claim my 2% royalties.

Tales of Monkey Island 2; Majus' Revenge

Here's the older thread:

http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/...t=12930&page=2

I hit 'em with "Return" on comment #35. Presumably the idea is now out there in the ether and randomly popping up in all kinds of people's heads. Won't be long before somebody high up at TTG says "hey, I've just had this great title idea!"

Monkey Island: The Ghost Pirate, the Wizard and the Wardrobe
a crossover with Simon the Sorcerer could be epic ^^

Either have a different name altogether, or keep the Tales of Monkey Island: Arbitrary Subtitle format, but don't say Tales 2. Monkey Island 6 if anything, but I liked that Curse and Escape dropped obligatory numbering. No need to pick it up again.

I like these.

You know, the title Tales of Monkey Island doesn't really say anything about the plot, like the other games do. In the Secret of Monkey Island, you go on a journey to find Monkey Island and its secret (well, you manage one of the two). In MI2: LeChuck's Revenge, a big part of the plot lies on LeChuck wanting to get revenge. In Curse of Monkey Island, you give a cursed engagement ring to Elaine (well that turned out to be a golden moment). In Escape, well, you end up having to Escape from Monkey Island.

I Tales you end up.... er... uhm... hmmm. Yup. Something's not right here. So Telltale, did you choose that title because it sounded cool? Or was it perhaps because it was supposed to, you know, have more than one season and you thought it would be a good idea to collect all the episodic Monkey Island stories under one banner?

Hassat Hunter · 01/14/2010, 12:06 am

Most likely to have ToMI Season 1, season 2, season 3 etc.

I don't mind, each episode has a different sub-title after all...

Not "Tales of Monkey Island 2", because I don't want Telltale to make it (not up to me though of course

). They made a good game but I'm not crazy about the episodic thing. I want a "real" big adventure game that takes like 6 months to get through on the first play because it's so insanely hard and long (they can put in the wussy mode like MI2 and 3 have). I also want lovely, detailed, 2D graphics.

I like Episodic. It gives you the option to play them individually, or essentially together. If you wait until post release (or the DVD), you can play them together as one game. But i agree with you on the difficulty front. I would love to have difficulty settings (a la curse), with current difficulty being the basic.
