Out of courtesy to the other forum users. These kinds of threads pop up constantly and most of us prefer having them collected in one place.

We don't expect too much here; just use a bit of common sense when you start a new discussion. If you see a thread on the forum that's pretty much covering the exact same subject you wanted to post about, replying to that one will probably be more productive starting a brand new topic. The search tool is your friend, and can help you find out if your question or comment has been brought up recently or in the past.

As flesk said, it helps keep similar threads collected in one place and avoids the forum getting clogged up with request threads. Case in point, yours wasn't the only one that popped up this morning. I seem to recall on previous occasions we've had three or four crop up around the same time, so it can get rather crowded.

It's kind of a sore spot for me because I specifically made that thread solely so we could keep all the requests in one place, yet no-one ever seems to use it. It gets rather annoying after a while.

And yes, I was rude. I also apologised. I don't think anyone came out of this a winner.

EDIT: Thanks to the mod who merged these threads. I'll try and be more civil when telling others they should post here in future.

If Telltale is going to do a bunch of old franchises like Sam and Max and King's Quest, maybe they should attempt the mamma of all video game franchises; Zork. Unless they are scared of grues.

Wow, someone was on the ball there! Thanks!

Indiana Jones. I know everyone here wants this.

Of course, but over George Lucas' dead body?

The Andy Warhol film? That would be an interesting game to say the least.

Dresden Files, X-Files, Bladerunner....pick! Two have already had an adventure game. So you now it's do-able! And Bladerunner looks to be getting another Ridley Scott movie so you know it'll be a hot potato.

A game about a rapping genie with attitude who is ready for slam dunk fun.

That sounds complete and utter...

[HelloCthulhu]

I still say a Doctor Who game would be AMAZING if done by TTG.

[Darth Marsden]

Sam & Max-era Telltale, mind. Otherwise there'd basically be The Adventure Games all over again!

Modern Telltale would be good too. A Doctor Who with the mechanics of The Walking Dead would be fun. Matt Smith's doctor is certainly prone to blurting out things, so the timed dialog choice mechanics would fit. Plus, The Walking Dead inventory system works well too once you get used to it. Even better in The Walking Dead is the option to do multiple things to objects (using the same system as the inventory, and contains such options as look and use). I've been wanting that back since they removed right click to examine after Bone. Imagine all the fun things they could have the Doctor say when he looks at things or quips about using objects or people.

Best of all, each episode remembering what you did in the last episode would certainly fit the serial nature of the Doctor Who television program.

Bumping this thread back up to the top. Dresden Files would make a perfect TTG, much in the same way that Fables will, except Dresden Files is better. Come on telltale!

[Darthchair]

Yeah, but they're already doing Fable. I thought it'd be a bit similar.

[Darth Marsden]

Not that I disagree with you, but this seems a very odd post to resurrect to basically just say "I agree".

[zerodemon]

You know, you're right. I should say more than "I agree."

I'd like the game to be set in the early days, say between Restoration of Faith and Storm Front, detailing his early relationships with Susan, Michael, Ebenezer and Murphy.

It'd make a good story and a great introduction to people who have never read the books before, as well as filling in some blanks for us long time fans.

Something along the lines of Max's powers from Sam & Max season 3 to solve puzzles, coupled with some of the mechanics from the Walking Dead (like the divergent choice system; something the Dresden books thrive on.)

Any other thoughts on a good system for the game to run on if it was to happen? I think it'd be profitable for Telltale (the books are consistent bestsellers) and for Jim Butcher (additional merchandising and picking up more readers, assuming the game is more TWD and less Jurassic Park.)

[Darth Marsden]

I don't think the system matters. It'd probably sell on anything and everything. An iPad release would probably be a good idea though, since then people can read the books and play the games on the same device.

Also, I'm going to very politely ask if a mod could consider moving this discussion to the 'Telltale should make' thread, since that'd pretty much what this thread is.
