Telltale Games

StansCoffins · 10/05/2009, 04:18 am

Anyone else hoping that The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood bears at least a passing resemblance to the Phoenix Wright games? I'd be surprised if no-one at Telltale had played them, and their over the top courtroom antics would fit right in with the Monkey Island universe.

This would be quite appropriate seeing as Phoenix Wright has itself homaged Lucasarts in the past, with his and his mentor's favourite plant being called "Charley". I'll leave you to work that one out.

Personally, no.

I didn't enjoy the PW games at all.

Phoenix...who?

Arodin · 10/05/2009, 09:18 am

I think The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood should resemble a Monkey Island game.

I haven't played Phoenix Wright, but "Charley" would be a reference to Chuck the Plant in Indiana Jones, right?

LeChuck had a Chuck the Plant on his ship in Chapter 1 of TMI

Chuck the Plant was also in Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle.
As a reference, a plant called "Fernan, la planta" appears in many games from the Spanish company Alcachofa Soft.

I always like to see the dramatic pointing pose (possibly while shouting "objection"), but beyond that no reference is necessary

thin029 · 10/05/2009, 11:03 am

No please

Ash735 · 10/05/2009, 12:46 pm

As much as I love the Phoenix Wright games, and the story arc of the original three games (Apollo Justice had a good story too but something felt different). The style of the games are very different from each other, best to leave them apart.

Fury · 10/05/2009, 01:15 pm

I'd like to see Guybrush or someone do the objection pose.

Yeah, if PW can reference Lucasarts, then TOMI can reference PW.

Errr... ahmmmm... welllllll.... I can say nothing but post a link to another Majus flash movie...

Not that you could understand anything... but it's Phoenix Wright all right.

adventureaddict · 10/05/2009, 01:37 pm

I do love the PW games, but I wouldn't put much more than a one-lined joke in TOMI about it.

Or an "OBJECTION!". I could live with that. =P

hplikelike · 10/05/2009, 03:39 pm

I've already shamelessly plugged my hastily done Phoenix Wright/Guybrush Photoshop.

One more time couldn't hurt:

I would love to see an OBJECTION, or at least someone in that pose.

Erm... I don't know this game. Could someone explain it in short mono-sillabic words?
