What do you think Telltale will do after BTTF and JP?

Out of curiousity, who's Raz?

I think Richard from the Looking for Group comics would be an excellent addition to an At the Inventory game.

I want something different. Mainly I want Simon the Sorcerer. But I think it will be yet more Sam & Max, because that's what they seem to like doing

They've also said that they want to continue their existing profitable partnerships. I think it could go either way.

More Sam & Max: Probable. There was a gap of only several months between the end of Save the World and the beginning of Beyond Time and Space. Obviously there was a two-year gap between Beyond Time and Space and The Devil's Playhouse, but that's because that season had improved graphics and gameplay

This is simply wrong. Season Three of Sam and Max was tentatively scheduled for "early 2009" and then all word of it dropped off the face of the earth until Tales was announced and it was made clear that Sam and Max had been put on hold to release Tales.

(Also I'd hardly call "removing all the puzzles in the game" an improvement...)

I really hope they'd do an The X-Files season. Would really work out with a monster of the week every week.

Week? TTG's games come out monthly.

I would say either Tales II or Puzzle Agent - those are the two most likely candidates. However, I'm hoping for a second Tales of MI more than a continuation of Puzzle Agent, which is why I voted for ToMI 2.

Also, in regards to RAnthonyMahan's comment, didn't we end up deciding that the whole 'no more external development for LucasArts' wouldn't actually affect the chances of a future Monkey Island game all that much (after much discussion)?

[apenpaap]

If LucasArts doesn't do something amazingly stupid (I.e. make Monkey Island 6 themselves or not make it at all), I expect Monkey Island 6 next. If LucasArts decides to be stupid, I think we'll see more Puzzle Agent (It's too soon for another Sam & Max, I heard the original makers of Homestar don't have much time anymore nowadays, and I remember hearing Wallace & Gromit and Bone were not very succesful, financially speaking).

[Origami]

I think we have a 70% chance of returning to Sam and Max. We're getting 2 new license games now and then a return to something familiar. You can't let Sam and Max fans wait THAT long, lol.

I don't think we'll be seeing a new Strong Bad season. The franchise is too niche. As Telltale is getting more known and popular I think they'd like to stick to more popular license games.

So future for TellTale is: BttF and Jurassic Park and then Sam and Max S4 with the pilot programm continued.

[WinterSnowblind]

I'd say Monkey Island would be the most likely, especially considering how successful it was. But with LucasArts refusing to outsource development now, who knows what will happen with that. I did say after Tales was finished that I'd rather not see anymore MI for a while, the wait for Tales is partly what made it so amazing. And if Telltale aren't going to be able to make another, I'd rather not see it happen.

So other than that, I'd like to see them move onto other new properties. BTTF and Jurassic Park both sound amazing and I'd definitely be in favour of a Futurama game.

[Origami]

A Futurama game. Now that could definitely work!


Again I am really up for an X-Files game. It really has the qualities for a succesful episodic game from Telltale.

-The franchise has been too quiet for a long time. It could use a revival
-It has comical distinctive characters. The real actors are probably easy accesible for the voice acting.
-The series already had an episodic format.
-The series had a nice sense of dark humour. TellTale could really work with this.

It's also a great addition for TellTale's portfolio. It needs a good detective/horror/comedy game.

Now someone already pointed out to me that they have CSI.
But TellTale just acts as an out-sourced studio. The stories are already written. Telltale just transfers it into a game. Also, CSI is pretty generic. Misses drama, action and good characters.

[Sausy Gibbon]

I voted for TMI as most likely but I wouldn't be that exited if they did, hopefully they do an original property. Not sure about a new Sam and Max, there was something lacking in the last season and the episodes start to get repetitive.

I know most of us can wait, and it would be too soon for a new Sam&Max game.

I agree with this. Also, unlike CSI, The X-files is more about paranormal activity rather than crime in real life. I think it would be an interesting video game.

Keep in mind that we'll be almost a year further when current 2 licenses are complete.

[Tromeritus]

Puzzle Agent/Grickle. Hopefully that gamble worked out for 'em, because it's so unique from the rest of their games. I'd love to see the series fully realized.

'Course, more Guybrush would always be wonderful. I just want to see the giant steampunk monkey robot Steve Purcell designed to appear in a game.

[Andorxor]

I will now look into my crystal ball and predict that will make something with giant robots and vampires or mutated vegetables

[WarpSpeed]

Sam & Max already has those, except the mutated vegetables, so that must be what's coming next!

Killer Tomatoes! Yeees!

A Dexter game would be brilliant, because...

-Telltale's chance to make a proper big-boy game with serious storylines that interweave and have proper emotional gravitas

-The nature of Dexter's "work" would lend itself well to adventure games, tracking people down, finding clues, finding clever ways to enter into property

-Hints could be delivered seamlessly using Dexter's trademark inner monologue

-That guy from the Telltale office who dressed as Dex would bum the idea
