That means they are making it and they're gonna "surprise" us with an announcement when ToMI is finished.
Actually, I'd like to see a new IP before anymore sequels. That's how I am with every company - Revolution, Lucasarts (STOP MAKING STAR WARS GAMES!!!)...
I really hope they use the same voice actors. I really think the current ones are perfect. Personally, I didn't like the voice actor they used for Max in Culture Shock.
Well, I really hope they use the original voice actors, because it's been three years. You've let Matt Chapman voice Strong Bad, and you've let Dominic Armato voice Guybrush, so PLEEEEEEASE, TELLTALE, let Bill Farmer and Nick Jameson reprise their roles as Sam and Max for Season 3!
I wouldn't want them to change actors for Season 3. I think Telltale agrees that consistency is good, which is why they have Dominic Armato who is *THE* voice of Guybrush in all voiced Monkey Island games and even brought back the same Elaine from Curse and SOMI:SE.
Yeah, and let's tell David Nowlin and William Kasten that "hey guys, we've loved working with you, but now we're dumping you as we're returning to our roots (in other words, for no apparent reason)", huh? As Telltale's been satisfied with these guys, and most people posting on the topic seem to like them (I think they're very well cast, myself), I see simply no reason why Telltale should change if D.N. and W.K. are available.
Season 3 is going to appeal more to those that played Season 1 and 2, so the authenticity is the Season 1 and 2 actors.
There is clearly a reason why Bill Farmer and Nick didn't do the first two Seasons, and we're all comfortable with the new voices.
However - the theme must go back to Hit the Road! PLEEEEEEEEASE!
I'm happy with the current voices, and I didn't really like the Hit the Road voices. If there's one thing that bugs me in a game, it's a voice that I don't like, and I like all the voices so far.
I trust Telltale to do things right, though. I'm sure this won't be like EMI where I said "eh, the first ones were better" after I played it.
(bolding mine)
I don't think you're using the same definition of that word as everyone else is.
Maybe the "old guys" can be brought in to do an 'alternate Sam&Max' part/episode or something like that. But I think TT can do without them.
Not that the originals were bad, I just prefer the new ones.
WHO THE HECK ARE THEY?!?!
I still don't know even a tiny iota of information about either of the current voice actors. Explain plz.
That's also a matter of preference I guess - I think the Season 2 introduction snap-ins are simply hilarious, and I love the music, too.
(for the record: I played Hit the Road about the time it came out, so I've been a long time fan of that game, too)
My guess would be that Telltale found them through an agency. But why does it matter? David Nowlin adds a cool professional tone to Sam's character, and William Kasten is hilarious as Max (and also as Jürgen) - that's all I need to know about them.
He does a pitch-perfect Goofy, so his deadpan take on Sam was probably a personal choice (as well as the voice director's; VAs don't have as much control over their performances as we might think, after all). I still think his Sam was wonderful overall, but yeah, the whole "near-complete lack of emotion" thing is part of why I prefer David Nowlin's Sam.
Well, there's their IMDB profiles, for starters. But I'm with Pantagruel's Friend -- I couldn't care less if Season 1 of Sam & Max had been their very first professional acting gigs ever.* They do a fantastic job with their respective roles. That's all that really matters to me in the end.
*Funnily enough, that seems to be the case with Kasten.
If you want a tiny iota of information, here's something I heard from the episode commentaries. David Nowlin doesn't like to swear, and said random words when the script called for Sam to say something that would be bleeped out. This is noticable in 205 when the word soda is considered profane. Max and Timmy are clearly not saying "soda" when the word isn't entirely bleeped, while Sam is.
Willaim Kasten likes to swear, and ad-libbed the dirty joke in Abe Lincoln Must Die. This is very noticable in both of the blooper reels.
Now I feel like a stalker. I hope you're happy. (I'm not totally serious about that. I'm smiling right now)
In 205, when Sam is saying swears for
[/themoreyouknow]
...no, wait, that's "And now you know". Ah well.
What in the world would a donut button do, anyway?
This is a very good point
OH MY GOD!!!!! THAT WAS VILE!!!!! :eek:
I don't get it. :P
Anyway, a donut button is clearly a button that dispenses donuts.
Where can I obtain one of those?
Then I need to pick up a donut-making machine.
And keep the current voice actors. Really.
Make more logical puzzles.
Smaller locations with less stuff in them, therefore loads of those small locations and the game will seem more harder and bigger.
Jared the composer!
A bigger role for Shambling Corporate Presence.
The alliance of the Stinkys was honestly boring at the end of 205 - I hope something can be made of something funny and interesting of this duo working together or one of the pair killed off or something.
Explore and involve more of the street - I loved exploring Bosco's Bathroom (shame about its lack of appearance in 205) and seeing Flint's "residence" was equally great in 201, however small of significance. Furthermore getting to see the sofa in 201 was more fun too. I would like a look more in Bosco's aisles, imagining them going way back like a supermarket or something ridiculous you guys do, and then perhaps a supermarket shootout occurs and Sam and Max have to save the day! I also want Sybil's closet to be featured more. I'm especially interested in Stinky's as a matter of fact, and maybe to see the back rooms of Stinky's would be a joy, such as the kitchens, her bedroom, her study, you know all that...oh yeah and I'd like to see more around S+M's office, you know like the corridor that S+M have to go in, to get into their office.
Tone down Max's craziness, and give him more interesting things to say like in season one?
Okay I know many will hate me for the decisions I've asked, but this is what I want, ok?
Oh yeah and thanks for listening Telltale
I agree, with all of it! The outside of the Office, too, if you know what I mean.
