Games Telltale needs to do

I was reading the forums late the other night and somebody shot down a suggestion saying that it was too serious or something. (I don't remember the specifics).

Then I remembered that Telltale had done a CSI game. (I downloaded the demo and decided it wasn't for me. I don't know what I was expecting, as I never particularly liked the show).

I don't think that TTG games should become convert from comedy to drama but there's no reason why the occasional serious game can't be done, is there? As it's been pointed out; games like Broken Sword are serious but still have a lot of good jokes.

It should probably be pointed out, though, that the last Broken Sword game was released only 3 years ago (I like to pretend the last game was 6 years ago; Angel of Death SUCKED!) and may be reluctant to relinquish creative control (if they still claim to have any).

You consider Full Throttle a serious game? I think of The Dig and the Indiana Jones games (and possibly Loom to a certain extent) as the only adventure games LA made that were actually serious. They seemed to favour the humour. I wouldn't call Full Throttle a full-fledged comedy, but I would call it consistently whimsical enough to not be a game to be taken as seriously as The Dig or Fate of Atlantis.

Isn't ANYONE going to ponder another deal with the devil ala Telltale and Lucasarts, but with Telltale and Vivendi Universal to make Leisure Suit Larry 8 PROPERLY?

Al Lowe WANTS to help pass the torch! V.U keeps kicking him out!
(Somehow without ever letting him in too.)

Not to mention the voice actor from LSL7 is alive and STILL voicing CGI movies like Horton Hears A Who.

If you mean in the same way broken sword is then I would agree, with a serious plot, with occasional jokes.

It's because we can't think of much else to talk about.

Incidentally, your avatar has given me an idea! Digimon: The Adventure Game!

[Marduk]

arent there already some games about digimon?

[Secret Fawful]

My personal list of what they could do that would work-

MACGYVER (My dream adventure game, so I have to add it)
Maniac Mansion 3
Futurama
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Doctor Who
King's Quest
Space Quest
Police Quest
Quest For Glory
Loom
Calvin and Hobbes
Star Trek
The Mighty Boosh
Get Smart
An H.P. Lovecraft based game
Garfield
Barney Google
The Boondocks
Discworld
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Monk
Psych
Laura Bow
Simon the Sorceror
A Nuklear Power RPG
Sanford and Son


....Okay I'm out....

Actually, I don't. I've not played very far into Broken Sword, but I wouldn't consider Full Throttle as serious as Broken Sword. My impression of Broken Sword was that it was a completely serious (a la Gabriel Knight). Full Throttle is much closer to a comedy. Actually, I think I'd call it a parody of sorts.

And Space Quest is nothing without Scott Murphy and/or Mark Crowe (mostly Scott Murphy). Josh Mandel did SQ6 but the story wasn't very good. So much so that I don't really consider it a Space Quest.

None that don't suck.

But... What digimon products didn't suck?

lol sorry about the apostraphe

[Sir Pantalones]

They couldn't do Calvin and Hobbes, though. There's a reason it remained a comic and a comic only.

I'd love to see HGttG, though.

[GozzoMan]

Zak and Discworld

[Scrawffler]

Definitely Day of the Tentacle. Like people have already said, it could go anywhere, and Telltale are sure to come up with something epic.

Hopefully Full Throttle as well, but mostly if the Gone Jackals get back together and do the soundtrack.

I'd also love a season 3 of Sam and Max.

Simon the Sorcerer is being continued by a group in Germany, but to be honest they new game isn't as funny and the characters aren't as interesting compared to the older games. It's highly unlikely Telltale will get the rights to STS, but I think they'd do a better job of it.

Discworld would probably be great in Telltale's hands too.

Heh, I know. I meant that I want Telltale to make them instead, since they'd be faithful to the license.
