I agree wholeheartedly, I'd like a new story. I'd prefer the games to be set at a different time or location so that they don't clash with the continuity established in the movies, but I wouldn't mind it too much if Telltale changed the plot and established their own continuity.
I've seen Douglas Adams comment on the very same issue--he's the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which exists in numerous forms of media. Every time he wrote a new version of the story he changed it, because he didn't feel like writing the same story again and again... as a result, the radio dramatizations, TV-series, novels, and video game all have differences in their plots. (They all start out the same, then diverge.) In fact I found the comic book version boring because it seemed like just a straight adaption of the novels (the comics weren't written by Adams, the author probably didn't dare to change anything)
