what do you think?

*Irishmile* · 06/25/2010, 03:09 pm

No thanks..... I do not want TTG to stop making Adventure games.

Lucas Arts could give them more money to make there games even better

jermy52 · 06/25/2010, 03:28 pm

eh Lucas Arts is going back to making Adventure games so they might as well get telltale to help them out

Telltale employees left LucasArts for a reason...it would kind of defeat the whole purpose of them branching out on their own to just be merged back with them. No, they should stay where they are and make it on their own. No mergers. No buy-outs. They really don't need it.

yeah but Lucas Arts is making Adventure games again so Telltale might as well get back with Lucas Arts. Lucas Arts has a lot more money and could fund Telltale

MusicallyInspired · 06/25/2010, 03:50 pm

Read my edit regarding money. And no, LucasArts aren't making adventures again. They remade and re-released a few. But they haven't made any new titles yet. Just because they've done this doesn't mean they're going to suddenly support adventures all-out again. I certainly don't want them to buy Telltale. Maybe they could partner and work together, but I don't want LucasArts owning any part of Telltale. It's too dangerous what with LucasArts' unpredictable nature.

This might be the worst idea ever. Lucasarts couldn't give them "more money" because their sales have to be higher in order to be able to spend money on a project, money doesn't just fall from the sky. Their sales must be greater than or equal to their budget for a title, otherwise they're losing money. Spending more money on a game doesn't mean it will have more sales.

I laughed when I read the title

jermy52 · 06/25/2010, 03:59 pm

Why does everyone hate Lucas Arts now?

doodo! · 06/25/2010, 04:05 pm

I respect TTG for keeping it real LA hasn't kept it real since the mid 90s...

coolguy721 · 06/25/2010, 04:10 pm

I am surprised that anyone can say that about Lucas Arts. After 10 years they decided to take a risk and remake a 19 year old game. you gotta give them credit for that

I do and love what they did to MI 1 SE and what we seen of 2 but they haven't made any new adventure games in years and even if they do now they could one day stop and make star wars for seeminly ever again. If they owned TTG it would be a huge blow to adventure games one it might not recover from

*Irishmile* · 06/25/2010, 04:16 pm

Let Lucasarts make their own adventure games.... I still have doubts we will see more after the new special edition.. I hope they do...

Telltale makes good enough games as they are.... the graphics are good enough, the writing gets better each season.. and the Music is beyond phenomenal.

There is no reason for the two to become one... they do fine on their own... Good thread though it lends to some real debate.

Do you know what the Golden Age of Lucas Arts refers to? It's long past expired.

Although I realize what you actually meant to say, this sounds decidedly funny.

This thread makes me sad. I'm glad to see most of you feel it would be a bad thing.

jaden551 · 06/25/2010, 05:06 pm

people who vote yse shouldn't be on this forum. It is blasphemy,.
People who vote yes are like a child who goes back to a person that has bullied it for ten years and asks if it wants to be friends and then gets kicked in the nuts.
This shouls not happen to telltale
and that logo wouldn't happen the ttg logo would be scraped altogether if lucas arts bought the company.

MusicallyInspired · 06/25/2010, 05:39 pm

It's not that I have no faith in LucasArts....they really do need to do a lot more to prove themselves to me of course, but I don't doubt them that much. I just don't believe there's anything to be gained by LucasArts owning Telltale. And, as I said, it kind of defeats the whole purpose of Dave and co creating their own company to get away from being under somebody.

Partnering is cool. Merging/buying out is not.
