Can we please have some Original Properties now, please?
I think the time is ripe for an original Telltale game. Something that is not tethered to an existing IP. Who's with me?

Thanks and bye.
Yeah, I mean, who doesn't want more Sam & Max? Though I would like to see some new IP from them for whatever comes along after that.
A bit of creativity and originality is just what Telltale needs. To be honest, I find the constant spin-offs and franchise games to be a little uninspiring. Sam & Max in particular has grown very stale.
Sam and Max.
Maniac Mansion.
Futurama.
With Futurama being the most important.
Agreed. There have been some hints that Telltale is thinking of making a serious series, hopefully that will be an original IP, but that is just speculation on my part.
I think that Telltale has a large enough fan base to start developing their own IPs now.
Nonsense! This poll is not only a paragon of scientific integrity, it is also legally binding.
:winslow:
Anyway folks: You're gonna get another season of S&M no matter what, it is already prolly more than half done! But immediately after that, they should do something new. They have to start planning now. They've had so many successes in a row now*, their bravado meter should be high up there. It's time to invest some of that bravado a little more brazenly into the Telltale legacy.
Telltale business model trifecta (established IP + episodic format + digital distribution) has paid off admirably, and yet it must be somewhat irksome that a large chunk of creative responsibility comes prepackaged. Going original is more of a gamble, but the payoff ought to be better in the long run. These are all stupid truisms! You folks already know this! Make me proud, etc.

Poll's a bit biased, I agree.
Them's are fighting words.
Really? Judging by some of the characters they created for Tales of Monkey Island (De Singe, Morgan, Winslow), I think they are. Felt fresh and original to me, and I'd like to see more in a similar vein.
They can work with existing characters, but when it comes to creating a whole cast of new & unique characters living in a world of there own, I just don't feel that they have what it takes. That's not a shot at Telltale, that is simply the truth. Making a good game takes a considerable amount of creativity. In Telltale's case, most of the creativity (IE... the characters, the world, the back stories, the fan service jokes) is the result of someone else's hard work, not there's. That's not to say that they don't make good games.... that is just to say that the skill it takes to create a whole dimension has yet to be seen.
...so you're saying Dave Grossman and Mike Stemmle don't have the skill it takes to create an original IP? I think their combined 40 years of experience argue a different story.
Just because you feel like doing something, it doesn't mean it's easy. There's a difference.
But still, Sam and Max has the most importance.
Guybrush's last name was the result of a competition.
thats where I got idea from XD
(Okay, I was drafted at the Thumbs, but I was registered for these forums beforehand.
(Seems like a decent enough excuse for me to link to some Yes, Prime Minister scenes)
Didn't need to lead the witness, given I think most people would love to see original work from these talented people.
Heh, just as I was about to clarify.
