Questions for Telltale, Season 3 Wise

[splash1]

Hi, Telltale, I have some questions about Sam & Max Season 3, that you may not be able to answer until you actually make Season 3.

• Question 1 Since you are now with multiple companies (Wii, XBox..) have you guys ditched Gametap, or are you still with them?

• Question 2 If you still are with Gametap, will the release dates be the same as before? (Thursday: Gametap, Friday: Telltale)

• Question 3~ Will all the original voice actors return, or did you get some new ones?

'Question 4~ 6, 5, or 4 Episodes this time?

'Question 5~ Can Sam walk/run with the arrow keys in this Season?

'Question 6~ If by any chance, Playable Max?

'Question 7~ Will the Decals/Upgrades from Season 2 be on the Desoto, or did they all fly off when Sybil and Lincoln get married?

'Question 8~ How much of the street will you open this time?

'Question 9~ Is the enviorment going to go through like: Sunrise Day, Sunset, Evening. Or will there be weather on the streets?

'Question 10~ Do you have any gray pupon?

Well, that's all of them, like I said you may not be able to answer most of these, but thank you if you can.

They haven't officially announced they are making season 3 yet so I doubt they'll be able to answer those questions at the moment

[Molokov]

I'm sure at least some of them will be answered /when/ they make the announcement about S&M Season 3. So perhaps wait until then?

[splash1]

Well I heard "somewhere", that S&M 3, will be released very later this year, course it's one of those wild rumors, and naturally it went to my head.

[Nimeni]

Some of the language used by those announcing ToMI strongly suggested that S&M 3 was being pushed back for the purpose of getting ToMI rolling-- which of course implies that S&M 3 is up and coming. If my reading-between-the-lines is correct, it should be the next project after ToMI. I'm sure they're well aware of our antsiness to get another crazy-go-lucky fix of everybody's favorite dog and rabbity-thing.

That means they are making it and they're gonna "surprise" us with an announcement when ToMI is finished.

Actually, I'd like to see a new IP before anymore sequels. That's how I am with every company - Revolution, Lucasarts (STOP MAKING STAR WARS GAMES!!!)...

I think that they said that they were working on Sam & Max Season Three prior to the announcement of Tales of Monkey Island. I can't find the exact page, though, so don't quote me on that. Anyway, if the Sam & Max Wiki is to believed, the answer to question 5 is "yes".

There were announcments on several minor gaming sites about how S3 will be out early this year. TTG probably changed thier mind as to the order in which they wanna get things out.

[Maxilyah]

I thought someone said it would be out late 2009 or early 2010.
I really hope they use the same voice actors. I really think the current ones are perfect. Personally, I didn't like the voice actor they used for Max in Culture Shock.

[Will]

While I'm not sure *anyone* could answer most of these questions, we have officially said that new Sam & Max is currently in the early stages of planning. The whens, wheres and hows are still up in the air though. I'm sure some intrepid forum spelunker will find links to support this statement.

Well, I really hope they use the original voice actors, because it's been three years. You've let Matt Chapman voice Strong Bad, and you've let Dominic Armato voice Guybrush, so PLEEEEEEASE, TELLTALE, let Bill Farmer and Nick Jameson reprise their roles as Sam and Max for Season 3!

[Shwoo]

I don't know why they cast different voice actors to Hit the Road, but I doubt the actors from the first games offered to reprise their roles and were turned down. More likely they weren't available, didn't want to do it, or were out of Telltale's price range.

[The Commissioner]

I think the current voice actors they are using for Sam and Max in seasons 1 and 2 are perfect. My favourite bit is when they did the sing-off against Jurgen in Night of the Raving Dead.

I wouldn't want them to change actors for Season 3. I think Telltale agrees that consistency is good, which is why they have Dominic Armato who is *THE* voice of Guybrush in all voiced Monkey Island games and even brought back the same Elaine from Curse and SOMI:SE.

[Randulf]

Bill Farmer's Sam is great, but I prefer David Nowlin. Farmer is more tough-guyish (he'd make a wonderful Flint Paper) while Nowlin is more cerebral and suave.

[lattsam]

I disagree. I think Season 3 should return to its voice acting roots, and actually allow Bill Farmer and Nick Jameson to bring authenticity back to the series. Besides, it's been three years. Give these two fine actors another chance, I beg you!

[City Of Delusion]

Personally, it would probably lead to some scratching of heads if their voices change now. I think it would make an excellent season finale plot, however.

[lattsam]

Why wait until the season finale? I say bring on the drama NOW!

Yeah, and let's tell David Nowlin and William Kasten that "hey guys, we've loved working with you, but now we're dumping you as we're returning to our roots (in other words, for no apparent reason)", huh? As Telltale's been satisfied with these guys, and most people posting on the topic seem to like them (I think they're very well cast, myself), I see simply no reason why Telltale should change if D.N. and W.K. are available.

Season 3 is going to appeal more to those that played Season 1 and 2, so the authenticity is the Season 1 and 2 actors.

There is clearly a reason why Bill Farmer and Nick didn't do the first two Seasons, and we're all comfortable with the new voices.

However - the theme must go back to Hit the Road! PLEEEEEEEEASE!

[Molokov]

All in all, haven't Nowlin and Kasten been playing the roles for longer than Farmer and Jameson? After all, they've done two seasons worth of recorded dialogue which is probably more than all of the dialogue in Hit The Road
