Please be careful attributing stuff to Telltale, because it gets picked up and then turned into people complaining that something hasn't happened when Telltale "promised" it would. Stuff changes all the time, so please don't take something as "Telltale said" unless it's coming from an official announcement.

Don't ask why, but I want them to make a Doctor Who Game.

Why?


Oh, sorry.

Hmmm...... I'm thinking of something completly different, anyone ever read a book called Artemis Fowl? If you ask me, that would be a great point&click avenchure.

No, but the name intrigues me.

Here you go. The author of the series is working on the new Hitch-hiker's Guide book, which says it all, really.

I too would like to see a Doctor Who series of adventure games, but I'm almost certain the next announced series will be a continuation of an already existing Telltale franchise - either Sam & Max series 3 or Strong Bad series 2.

I would like to see a Full Throttle game.

Or maybe a sequel to The Dig. With the voice of Robert Patrick.

Gaiman has no rights to Sandman, I'm afraid.

Thank you. I do that kind of thing all the time.

Imagining Ben in 3D reminds me of this.

If only it had been an adventure game...(sigh)

If only it was ever completed... *double sigh*

That I should be outraged by his audacity?

I didn't know there was such a thing, but a quick trip around to the Wikipedia entry has made me feel not quite so bad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Ano...hing..._(novel) If this book turns out any good, I may further champion the idea of Telltale making a Hitchhiker's Guide game crossover with Doctor Who. And if the book turns out bad, I'll probably just say that people should leave the series alone. At least until I write my screenplay.

I would be fairly surprised if they came out with something unannounced between TMI and Sam and Max Season 3, but they've surprised me before. I would also be quite shocked if they come out with another Homestar Runner game so soon, when they've been relatively frank lately about how they're still thinking about it. While I'm sure Telltale would love to do it any time, it seems like it puts a lot of genuine strain on Matt to do all the voices, and he might not be so willing to jump right back into that unless they come up with a more different way to do it.

It's already been confirmed. Not officially announced with a press release, but the staff have mentioned it's in production.

Duke Nukem Forever is still in production too!!

It has been confirmed, but it hasn't been confirmed to be the next thing they release.

Actually it isn't. They fired all those people last May. Doesn't mean the game won't come out ever, but it certainly isn't in production anymore.

I'm quite sure that some joker will come back in time and again to spread more rumours about Duke Nukem sometime soon, and some real developer (indie or otherwise) to continue the franchise somehow. It's too big a joke to give up!

It will be under development forever!!!

[pilouuuu]

These are my bets.

Sam & Max Season 3 will be announced during TOMI episodes 4 or 5 and released around January 2010. Then soon after that they will announce Maniac Mansion episodic series.

One thing I wouldn't like is another season of Strong Bad. I played a demo of it and I simply don't get it. The humour, the characters... It's all nonsense for me. And I don't mean it in a good sense like Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's just not funny. I simply can't enjoy it even if I tried. I would rather play another season of Wallance & Gromit, but I just don't think it's going to happen.

Another thing I wouldn't like is a new episodic series of Grim Fandango. The story is finished and it's perfect as it is. Just leave it as the classic it is.

An episodic series of Loom or Indiana Jones would be really interesting.

[meibatsuren]

Sam and Max season 3 is coming before the winter holidays. After that, who knows?

[Megaace]

I want Wallace & Gromit Season 2. I love these series.

And please, Telltale... Finish the Bone series!!!!

Full Throttle and DOTT would make me happy.

I'd love to also see the return of the Indy point and click games. Those use to be very popular. There hasn't been a great Indy game since those days IMO. LucasArt's may already be planning this. From my understanding Indy and the fate of Alantis is on the recent WII Indy game.
