Glad to understand that's how it goes.

never heard about irony?

seriously, I mean no offence

but I can't figure out how TOMI and COD could be named toghether in the same statement

that's no reason to think that MI is destined to be a series of games all equal to each other

[PariahKing]

The point was simply making a sequel for the point of making a sequel. It's not a perfect comparison, no, but I think it gets the general idea.

I would be disappointed with a sequel that recycled all the old models, refeatured the forest and brought back old characters from TOMI to save modelling time, etc.

Basically I'd be afraid a TOMI2 would be like a rehash instead of something new.

that makes sense

but there's no need to be worried about it before it happens

beyond that, as VoodooM said, the first season was clearly made to be continued

guess they had already something in mind.. and they proved to be damn good in sequels

in fact, I think S&M third season is the best of them all!

that's the reason I'm not convinced about the decision of not producing another MI

[Woodsyblue]

Definitely disappointed at no new Monkey Island. There were some cool announcements in there though so I'm not too disappointed, but for the first time I'm really starting to wonder if Telltale really are going to get another shot at Monkey Island.

I don't see why LucasArts would give the licence to Double Fine if they aren't going to give it back to Telltale, who have proven they can make a profit from it. I fear if we are going to see Monkey Island in the future it will probably be made by LucasArts in-house, and that is very worrying

[Irishmile]

I think with Ron and Tim at Double Fine they could make a pretty good MI game....
But my fear is that it wouldnt continue where ToMI left off.... so no Winslow and no Morgan... another bad thing is that Double Fine would probably make it shorter and make it a PSN and or XBOX download title only.... So having a nice boxed version to put next to the rest would be out the window.

[Ribs]

Why does everyone think it's two years? The current announced titles carries into Summer 12.

[Irishmile]

I think its a guess form how long it takes for seasons to come out in the past.

We have Quarters for every Titles except Kings Quest, which I guess will run for last few months of Walking Dead and first few of Fables.

Why not? They're not Telltale's own characters, they're franchise's characters who ARE added by Telltale. So for the continuty's sake, they have to do it. Unless Ron decides to make Monkey Island 3, which is even more unlikely.

Thaaat is a risk, yes. I have no idea why they love leaving out PC so passionately....

[Todesreiter]

I think the TTG Team should let us know what's about THEIR plans for MI!?!
It was a good selling franchises with a perfect ending for a sequel, so why no
Announcement? Is it Lucas Arts? Or is it only not the time right now?

[Woodsyblue]

Well, BttF has taken over ToMI as Telltale's most successful game, and it's only up to the second episode.

Telltale haven't completely abandoned classic adventure game franchises yet though, what with King's Quest in the works. So there is still hope.

[Bloody Eugene]

Hey people, calm down. I think that if it's possible Telltale will do it.
I think that the relationship between Lucasarts and Telltale changed after the new president came up.
Maybe the previous president granted and assured for another season -that's why the open ending - but new management screwed up everything and don't let them do another one.
I think that if TT can, they will do it.
And, after all, these 5 games are not the Telltale's last 5 games they will make.

[Voodoomaster]

with a perfect ending for a sequel

Yes, that's what I think, too.

There are still too many questions without an answer, and I'm afraid that if someone else continues the game, he would not respect the continuity

I'm disappointed that there not will be MI Games in the next two years, but i would be really angry if there not will be TellTale MI Games for more

[FitzoliverJ]

I was hoping for a series 2, but never seriously expected it to be one of the announcements.

[Todesreiter]

Are there any actual Statements from Lucas Arts
about the Future of MI and other classical Adventures?

[nannix]

frankly speaking... we need for TOMI2
why? because we are nerds. STOP.

Times ago Lucasarts told that several licenses came to home. I was afraid MI was one of them... seems that it happens... but they can't interrupt a story that needs for a final chapter (at least) to be concluded...

[mightypirate]

I'd like just to hear if TOMI2 is still a possibility for Telltale or not. Can we still hope or not?

That's the thing that makes me worry, we don't know if they're waiting another year for the sequel or Lucasarts will not give TT the license again...

[Sabs]

I'm too disappointed that there isn't a new Monkey Island between the new projects.
I don't know whose fault it is, Telltale or Lucas, but TOMI needs a sequel, it CAN'T finish like that.
I hope like Mightypirate to know if we can still hope for the future, but right now my disappointment is so huge that if also I could have interest in other projects, I have lost it.

[Albo Abourt]

I confide in Telltale's good faith. But there's a thing which I must criticize. Onesty. Why there's no an official statement about "No Monkey Island Games"?. It is obvious that at least 80% of the fans who were waiting for this misterious announcement were expected a sequel of TOMI. Now, in the past there have been numerous occasions to go against to LucasArts, but at least, for those who remember the sad annoucements early 2000, the much mocked Mike Nelson and Jim Ward did know to us almost everything in their situation of the company. Here, after twenty messages of disappointment (well, it was obvious!), the message of Alan Johnson aroused in me a small amount of nervousness:

Ok. it's right to focus on new projects, but I feel mocked.
Let's say that now I would an hypocrite if I'll go against the TellTale, but in another sense, I think is right and proper to inform what are the gaps that prevent the production of a new Monkey Island (or at least the "Reprise" of any game Lucas previously expected). A press release would be right, in short, what kind of repercussions might occur with an explanation?

[Todesreiter]

So where are you TTG-Team here in the Forum,
PLEASE, tell us what`s the current status about a ToMI sequel
