Screw Season 4, Why don't we skip right to Season 5!

[FrankT]

That's what I said! Sort of.

I wouldn't assume that. I think the reason for Telltale currently not working on a Season 4 (as far as we know) is due to Steve being busy at Pixar. I mean, he did just co-direct Brave. I'm sure that took up his time.
But it doesn't mean Steve won't ever have time again to work with Telltale, and there won't ever be plans for a Season 4.
I would rather wait so Telltale can get a good idea and concept for Season 4 and work with Steve on it. Due to their other projects as well, they might not yet have had time to sit down and go "Okay, where do we take Sam & Max from here? How do we make it even better than it already is?"
It's gonna take a lot to top The Devil's Playhouse, so I'm definitely in favor of not rushing it. "Rome wasn't built in a day", as they say.

It's not in the immediate future so it doesn't exist!

I get the idea from interviews that Steve isn't heavily involved with the development so I don't think that would be a reason.

He's still involved enough to be a creative influence though, and I'm sure he has to come in and check on how everything is doing now and then also. You're probably mostly right, he maybe isn't extremely involved, but if he's been busy every day at Pixar for the past 2 years that makes sense not much Sam & Max stuff has been going on.

And probably a end to good old point and click adventures...
If telltale completely abandon more traditional point and click games, then I will abandon telltale as a company as well.
I thought walking dead was pretty entertaining, but there is absolutely no real gameplay or puzzles. It is basically for me like a interactive movie with very simplified gameplay.

Double Fine Adventure, as well as a bunch of other new point n' clicks that have been announced.

Fables and the Kings Quest reboot, anyone?
Seriously. Adventure games are still popular, maybe not mainstream popular like they once were, but more than enough of a niche to keep it going as a genre. Telltale's whole model as a company is adventure, puzzle, and story-driven games, so it's really silly to think they're going to ever abandon that.

There'll be more Sam & Max someday! I know it sucks waiting, but you want it to be good when Telltale can dedicate the time to it, yeah? Just keep being a Sam & Max fan and supporting the franchise - it'll never die as long as we, the fandom, don't!

I meant from telltale. I know there are other developers/companies that make point and click adventures as well.

I am just afraid that they will abandon more traditional point and click games with the success of the walking dead.
Walking dead and jurassic park just isn't a point and click for me and has hardly any gameplay at all.
I really hope i am wrong on this though.

Fables I dunno, but a freaking KINGS QUEST reboot not being an adventure game?
Come on. :P

I never said that did i? And that was a game that has been planned long before the release of walking dead afaik.
And from what I have read it is seems like people are unsure if it will ever even get released.
And even their adventure games have been dumbed down majorily like for example back to the future, which hardly had any puzzles at all. And if there was puzzles the game would sometimes tell you straight out what to do even with hint level set to off.

[TypH]

I would enjoy a season 4 of Sam and Max hopefully someday it comes out, maybe they just don;t have enough people to spread out on stuff who knows.

... I think you might have some weird ideas of what's a puzzle and what's not. There were LOTS of puzzles in Back to the Future. Lots of really good ones, too!
Maybe you're just too good at them, adventures games are too easy for you now. :P
