I would love to see a Double Fine Monkey Island.

So many caps.

I would love to see: a GOOD QUALITY soundtrack of the calibre of CMI

-the guy did them in his spare time so.. to hell with consistency of the product! WiiWare can have lesser music! but I want some quality tunes dammit

my first MI game was CMI and one of my favourite things about it was the music.

telltale have been thinking ever since MI4 how they were gonna release TOMI. that's how much thought went in to it. :P telltale's whole reputation stand on the next MI!!! it's most likely never gna happen

telltale's been lazy this year, S&M came out april of this year and that's it. in 09 they released 2 games.

i would love another MI but little chance.

Is it true that TTG actually went to the trouble of re-recording lechuck original for the last few episodes available on dvd form?

[Irishmile]

Yeah ... as much as I would love ToMI2 .... I am really starting to think its never going to happen.

[Hee Ho Ho]

i only found out about ttg and the next mi just by searching one day and i didn't expect it to be good. but it was...it was...

it COULD happen after bttf and before jurassic park. they made s&m fans wait remember? it would be nice if that happened. hope to all!!! :-P

Lazy? What about Back to The Future? Haven't played it yet since it was kinda before my time, but it looks pretty darn good!

Anyway, I do have a hope for a new Tales of Monkey Island as the next reveal or after Jurassic Park. If we keep buying the games, it surely shows that we have some interest in 'em, right? I have been a bit on the lazy side, and short on cash side, but I think I'll buy Sam & Max season 3 and BTTF soon! As soon as I finish up some other games I have lying around~

I still have hope. In fact, I have more than hope; I have faith. Dan Connors said that they would "love to do more [MI seasons]". So, I wouldn't start fretting.

Of course it is gonna happen! It's just a matter of time. Why would Telltale kill a milking cow just when they got started?

The problem is that it's really not up to Telltale to decide, the decision lies in the hands of the licence holder, LucasArts (a company not known for making the wisest of moves). LucasArts' previous president Darrell Rodriguez was largely the man responsible for giving us not only the two special editions of Monkey Island but also for allowing Telltale to create ToMI. Now that Paul Meegan has taken the reigns as president, I'd say that any further Tales are rather uncertain at the moment.

I know that I won't be banking on it ever happening, although I'd love to play another installment as much as Telltale would love to create one.

i think lucasarts should jus give ttgames the rights or whatever. i mean lucasarts is all star wars now with no real commitment to anything else. i played the force unleashed 2. it looked brill but the end result was quite rubbish

[redm]

I hope to see a sequel soon I thought ToMI was pretty awesome== link lucasarts to my post let them see what the fans want

That wouldn't be a LucasArts move, though. They would rather leech off of the series for as long as they can instead of doing what's right with the franchise.

It would be nice if Ron Gilbert owned, so that the franchise would be in the hands of some-one with an actual soul somebody who actually cares about the series, not about making money out of the series.

[StarEye]

If Ron Gilbert owned the rights, we could see a Monkey Island reboot from the second game onwards.

Lucasarts if youre reading this then please let telltale make a sequel I will preorder it and then buy it for 5 other people afterwards

Heavens forbid.

[Irishmile]

I usually do not condone trolling... but I am tempted to suggest we troll the heck out of Lucasarts official forum.... like everyone here starting a new thread all requesting a sequel to ToMI.

What would be the harm? Do people really care about the continuity in the stories anymore? Every Monkey Island since CMI has had a different team (with the exception of a few people), with a different take on the Monkey Island universe. For example, having Guybrush single again, not having to run errands for Elaine or trying to save her from LeChuck. Every Monkey Island game since Ron left has been about saving Elaine (wether it's from a Curse or something else). After Ron left, Monkey Island has been going in circles, much like the Zelda games, or to a much worse degree, Mario. It's the same story told in a different way. The eternal triangle of love and hate. The villain, the hero and the princess. That is why I want to see a reboot, wether it's from MI2 onwards or from the scratch. I don't mind these things in Zelda and Mario, but I don't want this in Monkey Island. I don't want to know what to expect. There's no surprises anymore. Lechuck is good, no just kidding, Lechuck is evil. Surprised. Er, not really.

The storywriters just doesn't have any balls anymore. They rely too much on giving what people expect rather than surprising them. I'd much rather want the latter. For this to happen, I think something drastic has to happen in the next Monkey Island game.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

More drastic than several characters actually (and dramatically!) dying during the game?

[StarEye]

Drastic as in actually have any impact on further games. Irrelevant npc characters doesn't qualify for having any impact whatsover for future games, and nothing in ToMI has even hinted that the next Monkey Island game would stop running in circles. EMI, CMI and ToMI have all had an "everything back to normal" ending. MI1 and 2 did not. I don't want everything to be back to normal.
