Now that Tales of Monkey Island has come to an end i was wondering what telltales next series of games will be.
I recomened making a game series based on The Wombles or Doctor Who. I desperatly want to see a proper Doctor Who game and Wombles game.

technically it was meant to come out in 2009. i don't think ttg would make fans wait longer (unless they were gonna do a 2 ep season) but i don't really like sam and max, i find it strange.
You never heard of Wallace and Gromit?
I haven't played the CSI game (I like the TV show but I'm not a hardcore fan) but I've heard that's their most serious game. The most serious I've seen Telltale get is Monkey Island. So far. So I'm interested in seeing if they do make this serious game they've briefly mentioned. Depending on exactly what it is I may or may not buy it, but I feel fairly confident that they'll be able to pull off something serious.
In the meantime, I am oh so looking forward to the next Sam and Max!
Sam and Max - Underground comic, TV series, and Lucasarts adventure game
Wallace and Gromit - British claymation series
Strong Bad - Internet web animation
i know it was made by aardman and they're great what they do. i loved the movie flushed away and chicken run
they said the game was gonna come out in 2009, but it didn't, just don't get your hopes up, it could be anytime in 2010.
No it's pretty obvious that Sam & Max S3 is next - and probably resonably soon. The reason S&MS3 was not done in 2009 was because TTG got their hands on the Monkey Island license, and postponed Sam & Max.
It was even teased at at the end of the final episode of Tales of Monkey Island.
Nevertheless, like somebody said earlier, we're now talking about what comes after Sam & Max Season 3, not to mention Sam & Max already is an established series. We're talking about the next series, the one that Telltale still hasn't touched.
Blasphemy! :eek:
But yes, Sam & Max is next, and I'm fingers crossed for an original idea from Telltale.
*cough* Or maybe MM/DOTT *cough*
I agree, an original TTG game would be nice.
I also would love another season of Strongbad or Monkey Island.
Other than sam and max and Monkey Island, I would for them to create an original IP.
Me too - I think ToMI has improved the storytelling aspect so much from S&M. I also hope the S&M3 has one continous story with cliffhangers, like ToMI.
(I know the previous seasons did have overall story archs but less so than ToMI IMO)
As for Telltale's next game/series... Since they've already made my dream come true with a new Monkey Island series, I would love to see them make a new Full Throttle game. Full Throttle was the first adventure game I played (that was years ago) and since then I've been hooked on point & click adventures! That's why I got so depressed when LucasArts cancelled the sequel...
But most of all, a completly new franchise from Telltale would be awesome! We've seen the great things they can do with already established franchises, so a whole new one where they can let their creativity roll freely could be something amazing.
And I'm willing to place a bet that Sam and Max 3 won't be long. I think if it was going to be towards the end of 2010 they wouldn't have told us yet. Plenty of us showed how impatient we were when TOMI5 was about to be released (myself included)! It must put a lot of pressure on them, having so many fans that really look forward to their games!

What, you want a Girl Genius adaptation? Nah, can't be - those aren't cute hats, those are Nice Hats.
Ooh, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!
No, wait, Alan Moore wouldn't like that.
So in my opinion, Telltale's next new series should be an existing license that:
A. Can be adapted well to an animated adventure game
B. Has a large number of fans that may not have heard of any of Telltale's other licensed properties.
Alan Moore doesn't like a lot of things.
Including some of his own work. (He thinks the Killing Joke sucks. SERIOUSLY.)
I have to admit that, for the most part, it does. Apart from the "multiple choice" line, I mean.
That whole Batman thing is so silly. I don't understand why people take it so seriously. There has to be some campiness in there, though some guy falling in a vat of chemicals and turning into an insane criminal with bleached skin isn't what I'm thinking about.
The idea of a masked vigilante has made for good storytelling for years. Look at Zorro. I don't get why just because someone dresses in a costume it's automatically silly. Batman is quite dark, and while its not always the most well written story, sometimes it gets the occasional classic. It's meant to be a fun story, not To Kill A Mockingbird.
Batman is a man who is filled with obsession and hatred toward criminals because of his parents death, so he is on an all out war against crime. And he has the money to do it, but he does it from the shadows. Because of his hatred and a bit of possibly sadism he wants to strike fear into the criminal world while he strikes it down. So he's turned himself into a symbol of a monster. Bats have been feared since ancient times, and he himself fears bats, so he chose that symbol. The underlying theme here is quite serious, even if it is a bit ruined by the spandex.
(I personally prefer the Shadow more as a masked vigilante story, because the Shadow truly is insane and WILL murder anyone in his path, and it makes him so much more interesting because you don't know what he'll do next. Batman is a bit predictable because he won't kill criminals, so it's easy to get the upper hand on him. A lot of grief could be saved if he had just rubbed out the Joker etc. the billion times he had the chance. But then again who really wants to see The Joker die? He's too much fun. Though technically he's died a million times and still come back for more.)
Well, in fairness, Sam & Max doesn't lend itself very well to "epic". I always thought the episodic format made sense. Even the cartoon was 10 minute episodes, because it's kind of a nonsense series and what little story there is usually is kind of incoherent.
If anything, I think Sam & Max was somewhat held back by the number of recurring characters and the amount of continuity (some of the running gags like Max being president and Abe's head should have been thrown out).
Monkey Island and Sam and Max are different beasts.
About the Sam and Max running gags: I respect that the episodes stays faithful to the events of previous storylines, but I can understand how it might cause limitations when it comes to character development and plot. So far, Telltale seem to have been clever enough to work around these, but how much longer can some of these running gags go on for? (my guess is, whenever they run out of ideas, but we'll see)
I don't think Telltale should try to revive all the LucasArts classics. I'm definitely up for seeing something brand new! The only other LucasArts series I personally would be particularly interested in seeing brought back by Telltale is the Maniac Mansion series (something to follow on from Day of the Tentacle). I think they've got some good stuff to work with there.
Full Throttle was the other one that crossed my mind, and I'd probably support it if they did it, but something about it wouldn't feel right without the Gone Jackals. There seems to be some talk about Grim Fandango too. Admittedly I haven't played this one, so I don't have an opinion on this as a Telltale series.
A Girl Genius adaptation would give me a reason to actually order the graphical novel, seeing as I don't really have great concentration when watching comics online.
