Ideas for new Telltale Games
Hey, I just wrote a blog post on five franchises that I think Telltale should make into point-and-click-'em-up adventures (http://l0rddavid.wordpress.com/2009/09/22/5-franchises-that-should-get-the-telltale-treatment/), and wanted to get your opinions, know what franchises you'd like to see, et cetera. My ideas are (I explain the them in the blog... not room for all that here) VeggieTales, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Spy Fox, Pushing Daisies... and another that I'm not saying as an attempt to get you to read the article.

To be honest i'm on somewhat fussed on the Series of Unfortunate Events. As for your super secret last one that I shan't divulge, it would be a bit pants if you ask me, it already works in its own regard
But what do I know, I enjoyed the X-Files game back in the day
But it would be intense.
Seriously, it has the potential to become an episodic game.
for those who don't know about them, they are a wired family who have a Gothic life style, they wake the dead for hobby, the mother tells violent stories for children's bedtime and... .
They are abandoned from the society because of their nature, but they are really good people in heart, they don't mean doing these things they just do it to have fun!
Villeins in their stories are usually normal people who want to annoy them with the excuse of them being abnormal, but it turns out that the real bad guys are themselves!
Just think how many games TellTale staff could make from it!
as for a Series of Unfortunate events, I don't think an episodic adventure would be suite for it.
The story has already been told and we can't make a new variation for the characters, unlike Sam and Max, or HomestarRunner Characters.Unless lemony Snicket decides to tell a new adventure of them in a game format, which I think is very unlikely to happen.
Hmm. Actually, there's some potential there. You could control Edmund himself and have Baldrick around to perform actions too dangerous or unsavoury for yourself.
I mean, we all know that this would never happen. But hypothetically speaking, which Blackadder do you think would work best? I'd nominate Blackadder II, personally, as it has the most historical scope and was the funniest of the series. Anyone else?
I think 2 or the third my self
I'd go for the 4th series, but we'd all settle for anything but the 1st...maybe a 4 episode story arc over the different eras that ultimately reveals a great secret of the Blackadder family
Anyway Rowan Atkinson's a renowned prat and a big star so I doubt he'd get on board and I couldn't see anyone else doing the character much justice
I would buy any nostalgic series. If it's The Addams Family, The Twilight Zone or some 40s musical, just so long as it's in black and white, I'll buy it!
David Jason + Telltale = So awesome it may just give me a stroke
just not zany enough..
i vote for count duckula or like danger mouse.. those oldies were indeed.. awesome..
high five jedexodus
and .. i still vote for the tick and nick bounty TELLTALE...
sheeeesh.. make mark slaaaaave on MI and SB but noooo ... nick bounty is just not goood enough! already have a detective duo in da house eh.
lol
SPOOooooooooooooooooooooon
-= dont let the tick die =-
I knew someone was bound to come along talking nothing but sense
I agree completely... it is about time for a good Adams Family game.
c64 edition

need i link like nes snes .. festers quest and endless game boy and color editions.. no no i think you should do what you do with all addams in the end... bury them..
give them some dignity.. just a weee bit
whats next the munsters episodic series... (starts thinking.. hmmm)
When I was older, I discovered that there was a plan to make a sequel called "Forge" but they decided not to because they didn't think it would be popular enough? I could be wrong but that's what I heard.
If you guys can get permission and recreate Loom, or start a new series in the Loom universe, and do a good job of it, and make it as awesome or awesomer than the original Loom, then I would be devoted to you guys.
Although, I'm not sure if the 3D style that you've got with the other games would suit the mood of Loom.
jake had some pics on his mixnmojo site about LOOM SUCKS, in the edited version of the speech loom..
apparently disgruntled employees make a decent game though as i loved this game as well.
if there was a sequel it would never have had the original team, as stated above, disgruntled :P
but id love to see loom made.. but alas.. speaking to a few telltale employees in forums and in person, they just .. dont like the idea one bit lol
loom, the pansy adventure.. someone once said..
whats there really to do or engage in...
IDK but i love it!
will shear for sequel!
That would be so awesome.
Therefore, I think it's proved that the episodic format works for a Mortadelo y Filemón (Clever&Smart, Fred&Jeff, etc...) game.
And I think that Telltale's sense of humor is what these characters need for a videogame, and the game would be AWESOME.
Pity they're not well known worldwide.
I'd really like to see some more adventures of George Stobbart.
Alternatively, I'd like to see Telltale do something with the TV show ReBoot, because that's filled with awesome characters, a well established universe, plus it's coming back in 2010 or some time soon because it's being revived. And has tons of loyal fans. It was the first ever CGI animated TV show and it still is the best in my opinion!
www.reboot.com
Actually, I also want more episodes of Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet. That's awesome too with Spectrum's global security organisation, the captains, the Mysteron threat and replicants every week. But I mean TV show wise, not as a game. I just wish that TV shows would adopt the model that Telltale are using for game distribution and then maybe they wouldn't get cancelled all the time! I wouldn't mind paying for a season pass of that and then having them download shows to my PC every week!
From the rumblings I hear, Revolution have plans for Broken Sword
I thought that was just Broken Sword Director's Cut for DS. I'd love a BS5.
Peep Show
I read something about it on their message board, though they're focussing on Beneath A Steel Sky 2 first I think....I think, keep in mind I could be getting very very confused here
Capital idea! Though maybe a bit too mature (or immature, whatever way you look at it) for mass appeal
I would literally stab a baby to see it though!
I would die to see this in telltale style.DIE.
