Telltale Games

FrankT · 05/23/2012, 09:02 am

Well correct me if I'm wrong... but I fear that Season 3 may well have been the last Sam & Max season, and a Season 4 isn't being planned.

Well how else can we explain the sudden appearance of all the living characters in the finale?! And I'm taking into account the fact that it was made a few years after S2 - maybe it was a comeback special or something! Your thoughts?

corruptbiggins · 05/23/2012, 10:36 am

Just because a 4th season isn't currently planned (which is mainly down to the fact that there are two game seasons to come after the Walking Dead is finished) doesn't mean that it won't happen. In fact I'd be more surprised if there isn't a season 4 in the near future, most likely after King's Quest.

They were all there because it was an emotional finale, no other reason.

polocatfan · 05/24/2012, 05:35 am

well i didn't expect a third. so a fourth isnt that farfetched.

*Vainamoinen* · 05/24/2012, 11:22 am

Nope... Season 3's ending clearly left room for more. Heck, we didn't even get to see Sybil's kid.

Season 4 is threatened, I see that much. And I'm not talking about Fables and King's Quest (both too much fairy tale stuff, if you ask me

), but about the revenue from BTTF, JP and TWD. If Telltale gets the idea that those last franchises are where the money is, well... THEN we'd have a problem.

lattsam · 05/24/2012, 11:51 am

I'm very worried...

I think we'd better talk to Steve Purcell about this!

FrankT · 05/25/2012, 04:05 am

I wish we COULD talk to him! As it is, I don't think.... well...

But I stand by what I said before: Season 3 was surely the end of TTG's Sam & Max era.

Sausy Gibbon · 05/25/2012, 07:01 pm

^But if it is, it's only the end of Sam & Max's TTG era, they could go on to bigger and better things (pessimistically I doubt that it will happen, but a man can dream, a man can dream).

FrankT · 05/26/2012, 02:07 am

God only knows what they could be!

lovetodo22 · 05/26/2012, 03:41 pm

Steve's one of my best friends on Facebook. Mebbe if I ask nicely (beg)...

*Vainamoinen* · 05/26/2012, 03:43 pm

This probably won't hinge on Purcell's permission.

When Brave has finally seen the light of day and Steve Purcell has become a superstar, Season 4 will not be a problem any more.

FrankT · 05/27/2012, 02:56 am

Unless of course the film flops out...

Scnew · 05/27/2012, 04:56 am

Just because a sequel does not come out immediately does not mean that it will never come.

Wait a minute, it's been in production that long?!?!?!

*Vainamoinen* · 05/28/2012, 09:21 am

Those were probably the first character design sketches of eventual relevance, so, yeah.

SlasherMan · 05/28/2012, 02:26 pm

I don't think season 3 was the last one, It can't be :P, sure it might take some time to get released. The way I see it is that, I would love to see an announcement on August (Sam & Max's 25th anniversary, Monkeys violating the heavenly temple was apparently released in August '87) and a release early/middle 2013, depending on Fables and King's Quest release dates.

FarkyFark · 05/28/2012, 02:40 pm

I truly hope it isn't. I don't believe in prolonging the death of a series that hasn't been doing well, but the newer seasons of Sam & Max have done nothing but improve.

*Hero1* · 05/30/2012, 11:50 pm

I'd love to see Season 4 in 2013

wellgolly · 05/31/2012, 01:06 pm

Speaking as both the guy who made a totally mean "don't ever hope" thread, and one who only just processed today that it's been TWO YEARS since season three, I gotta admit: I still have faith this franchise at the very least isn't dead.

It's got the rockiest history ever, and something keeps saving it over and over.

It just doesn't die.

Telltale wise, however, that ending seemed pretty...final, yeah. I doubt they were thinking "well that's that. Let's never do this again", but you definitely get the sense they were intending to put some closure there, at least for a good while.
Did telltale get the deal with universal before or after then?
