Telltale Games

XuGator · 10/14/2009, 05:54 am

Have they hinted at this possibility at all? Seems like with all the sucess tales has had so far - they would be starting to think about future monkey island games.

Rather Dashing · 10/14/2009, 06:49 am

I'm sure they take it one step at a time. They can't really decide anything without LucasArts. LucasArts can internalize it, outsource it to another company, or just sit on the franchise for no reason.

Besides, I don't want another season of this yet. I want more Sam and Max, dammit!

*Irishmile* · 10/14/2009, 07:17 am

I wouldn't doubt if there were talks already.... its not like they would tell all of us unless its a done deal.

DeLuca · 10/14/2009, 08:03 am

I mean, I bet the employees have talked amongst themselves unofficially about the possibility, and many are probably brewing up ideas in their heads, but Lucas Arts is probably waiting to see how Tales does before renewing TTG's license or deciding to change the business model (ie: Contracting TTG for the games rather than licensing the IP to them)

Smashman2004 · 10/14/2009, 08:14 am

I hope they do do another Season.
It was AWESOME to have Monkey Island back!

Really? I thought you would have wanted more Old Man Rub. ......

ANYway, I would love to see another season after this one. I agree that it's been awesome having Monkey Island back after so long. It would be awesome if the popularity of Tales spawned more games, or maybe even made the powers-that-be reconsider the Monkey Island movie. ...hey, I can dream, right?

apenpaap · 10/14/2009, 10:06 am

atm I don't even think the people of Telltale know. It probably depends on this season's success.

Oh PLEASE.
PLEASE let the-powers-that-be reconsider a Monkey Island Movie..
I'd prefer a CGI one though.
No REAL people in MY Monkey Island.

I agree that there should be no "real" people in it, but I'd prefer animation over CGI. Especially Curse of Monkey Island-style animation.

Smashman2004 · 10/14/2009, 10:13 am

Drawn animation?
Fair nuff, it'd be nice either way.

Rather Dashing · 10/14/2009, 10:21 am

As far as I'm concerned, a Monkey Island movie should look like a twisted sort of Errol Flynn pirate movie. Ideally, with Jim Henson-style puppetry. Think more Star Wars and Dark Crystal, less Muppets.

Lennie Melvin · 10/14/2009, 10:25 am

Yes, of course. There is no doubt about it.

DeLuca · 10/14/2009, 10:28 am

I am a firm believer that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp would make a great Monkey Island movie, a la The Corpse Bride

I'd agree.
Perhaps if they did the animation in a similar style.
No real people in Monkey Island.
It's just not possible.

CalBearRJ · 10/14/2009, 01:34 pm

If I've learned anything from being a Monkey Island fan it's that I should not expect a sequel to be made until it's actually in my hot grubby hands (or on my hot grubby hard drive as the case may be), so I'm not counting on a sequel being made.

That said, it seems like ToMI has been pretty popular, and I have to think that the Telltale team would make another Tales if given the opportunity--they might have even hinted about this in the Private Pirates forum.

I guess the best way to sum up how I feel is that I'm more optimistic that there will be a sixth game now than I was about there being a fifth game about 9 months ago.

Fixed

Don't burn it out. Monkey Islands shouldn't come out once a year. I'd love to see another, but NOT right after this like Sam & Max Season 2.

Zhadnost · 10/14/2009, 02:26 pm

What's the likelihood of LucasArts seeing how successful this has been and wanting far too much money for a license to produce a second series.

HoratioTMarley · 10/14/2009, 05:19 pm

Well this season started pretty good and has gotten better ever since. If Telltale are able to keep this trend going than I would be more than delighted to see more seasons (!!!) of ToMI. Would be cheaper to make too as main charakters are already done 3d model wise.

OK I dont know how much Lucas Arts charges for the MI license, but I would presume they get more, the more copies are sold. Would make sense.

Regarding a Monkey Island Film, well most films made from computer games stink. (also true vice verca) This one would be hardly different. It could never meet the expectations of us geeks. It can't because it would have to be written in a way that makes it suitable for people that hardly know the series too. Better watch Pirates of the Carribean. It has quite a lot MI references. E.g. Johnny depp paddling away in a Coffin.
