Please buy the rights to Grim Fandango and make a season of it!

I know I'm not alone here thinking it would be really cool!

Freelance Poster · 05/17/2008, 05:58 am

I support this idea 100%

xChri5x · 05/17/2008, 06:45 am

You guys think it's that simple huh?

You mean you can't just walk into Licenzoo®: For all your licensing needs and buy the rights to Grim Fandango?

Udvarnoky · 05/17/2008, 10:43 am

Damn it's too bad Haggis already trademarked Licenzoo because THAT would be a license worth developing for!

RobD · 05/17/2008, 12:39 pm

In all honesty, I'd like to see something that hasn't been done before. Either an existing franchise but in game format (like Stongbad) or something entirely original.

That's not to say I don't like Grim Fandango, though. In fact I love it.

TrogLlama · 05/17/2008, 01:53 pm

I've got it! Metal Gear Solid: The Videogame! I've always said that someone should adapt those movies.

*Tester Scott* · 05/17/2008, 05:32 pm

Grim Fandango would be a horrible game to make into either a sequel or an episodic series. It ended so well and didn't really leave the main character open to another game.

*Hero1* · 05/17/2008, 06:12 pm

you could have a spin off set in that world with a new character though.. anyway a monkey island episodic series would sell bazzilions but lucasarts are never gonnaa give up a property they have no intention of using so its all kind of hopeless

No, I just don't care. You really like trying to crush people's dreams don't you Chris ;_;

Anyway no matter how unfeasible it may be, seeing another Grim Fandango, be it a spin-off, sequel, or remake would be awesome.

I'd be willing to part with it for the measly sum of one million dollars.

Dedlok · 05/18/2008, 08:38 am

No no no... You're supposed to put your left pinky up to your mouth when you say that. And pronounce it "1 Meellion Dollars"

Kaldire · 05/18/2008, 10:24 am

im with scott sadly.. as much as I do love the game (actually its like #2 all time in my book)
I wouldnt love to see a sequel. Unleeess it was vastly unrelated yet related. Maybe the other side of life ? Chubby Cherub anyone? old nes lovers know what I mean sigh... ok

Seriously Grim was and is a great game. Lets keep it that way.

I know the creator of "The Tick"... Ben Edlund is more than looking for a way to get the tick back in the lime light... tick... lime/lyme... sigh, I had to make the joke sue me. You just cant use the morning cartoon versions of the characters, which leaves the live tv series characters (who I thought were more adult and funny)

Or you have "The GreenSky Trilogy" from Zilpha Keatley Snyder. I know this author and she is currently in MOVIE rights for Below the root.. and since the game was originally on c64 as a flat out platformer with a great storyline, Id shutter to think how hard it would be to get fans soaring above the trees in their flying squirrel type clothing.

Go read the book or dont :P I know these two games would make money though.

Or telltale could redo The Adventures of Fatman.. the batman adventure not the oddball FATMAN game
This would sell like hotcakes!!!! I knows' it!

Ciao and glad you like grim.. I too love it.

no votes for the cherub ? dag...

ShaggE · 05/18/2008, 11:34 am

As always, I need to mention that if TT picks up any adventure license, it should be The Neverhood.

Or even better, maybe the upcoming Neverhood movie will be a big hit, and TenNapel will do a sequel himself.

(a TRUE sequel... Skullmonkeys doesn't count)

Kaldire · 05/18/2008, 12:15 pm

well the thing I think that made neverhood so great was the immensity of the project and the awesome real clay sets. Not to mention the puzzles etc but I dont think this project could be repeated in kind measure without costing a lot or taking many resources already taken.. but its got my vote.. i love that game, and its left wide open for more.. though Im not sure if its episodic in nature..

ShaggE · 05/18/2008, 10:55 pm

^ Aye. But I'm just speculating on things that would sadly never come to fruition.

In my wishful world, TT has a budget the size of Bill Gates' annual income, and open access to every adventure franchise known to man.

*Shauntron* · 05/19/2008, 10:28 am

If TenNapel ever revisits the Neverhood, it might as well be made in clay with the same small team he had before.

jannar85 · 05/24/2008, 03:53 pm

They don't need to buy any licences.. In fact, they can just change names. And build another game on a new story, new characters, in the land of the dead
