The Official "What Game Would You Like to See Telltale do Next Thread" Thread
Don't you dare question my use of the word "official".
With the recent thingy about people wanting a Lost game and the huge (read: minor) backlash this caused in the community, I think it's time for poll-boy to do his thing.
I'm not poll-boy, by the way. There is no poll-boy.

So I guess I'll pick Futurama. Though I'll be danged if a majority of the voters didn't pick either this or 'other' and wrote some other obvious IP, like Pumaman.
I only added the ones I've seen a lot of people talking about. Rather than adding everything I could think of (leisure suit larry, grim fandango, king's quest, peasant's quest, etc.) and having each of them have only one or two votes, I put an "other" option. Feel free to make any suggestions, but if you suggest something and it only gets one vote I'll punch you in the face.
I still think either Farscape of Firefly would be awesome.
I've never watched Firefly, but Farscape could work. Someone suggested Stargate in another thread which could work too.
EDIT:
SG would be fine too, if not every gamedeveloper ever that tried a SG game went belly-up. I wouldn't want that to happen to TTG.
Preferably Lust In Space.
Lost would have made for wonderful episodic adventures a few seasons back, but now the show is wrapping up, there's a lot less appeal in unravelling more mysteries. We're going to get a conclusion in a few weeks. Why go back?
But not taking the Lost suggestions so literally, it bodes well for "serious" adventures with a big mystery, strange happenings, a dark and twisted theme. Just like Doctor Who, which Telltale has missed out on.
This style of game could be applied to other similar franchises though - X-Files, Fringe, V, Alien, Dark Crystal etc.
I've said it here before, but I'd love a Dark Crystal set of adventures to coincide with the new movie if it ever gets out of development hell. In fact anything 'Henson' could make for a wonderful game, but I think the Dark Crystal world has the most potential.
Well, Sam and Max had a Hit the Road and Telltale picked up on that so...
Don't let me down Telltale.

It would be EPIC!
You guys need something to be distinguished as your own. Games of the past are cool and bring nostalgia. But Telltale games so far is known for reviving dead franchises. TTG can make so much in this games. Like for example they can make a comedic episode of a bounty hunter, or make an indigenous tribe wannabe leader into a comedic and episodic game. You guys can make a police series game and each season you manage a different police character with its own story, solving daily crimes, with a more serious tone or a mixup of comedy.
The thing is theres so much creatively than can be done involving our actual times, and also medieval times, or exploring times when people set onto the new world. I vote for an original franchise. Although i must admit Futurama would achieve a level of success even greater than Monkey Island series. My vote is for an original game.
This.
Only, I voted for "original license."
[edit] ooh, or Space Quest. That would be great. [/edit]
DO NOT DO A LOST GAME.
Forum moderator. But plenty of TTG staff read and reply here.
Lost? are you kidding , it already has a 'set story' you wanna see episodic content based on it?
I see Telltale as a cartoony and comedic, fun and generally family friendly
I dont want to see serious episodic games.
Bone .. Comic US Cult following (I personally dont find funny, dont care about it, didnt buy it)
Wallace & Gromit... 20 years worth of fans
Sam & Max... 20 years worth of fans
Monkey Island... 20 years worth of fans
Strong Bad... 10 years worth of fans ..Very popular very funny well written, webseries strong ties to retro humour (again 20 years worth of reference)
Are we seeing a pattern yet?
Established, Cartoon Style & Funny
If Telltale moves away from this genre it will be the end of the company for sure.
I Vote for Manic Mansion
Manic Mansion
CSI: Deadly Intent, Telltale's third CSI game, was released in October of 2009.
Or, since you guys are friends with Valve, could we ever see a Telltale adventure in the Half Life universe?
As far as other, non LA titles, has anyone ever heard of the Manhunter series from Sierra Games? They only had two games, "Manhunter: New York" and "Manhunter: San Francisco." They are post-apocalyptic stories set in the aforementioned cities where aliens have taken over. You are a semi-detective who works for the aliens, but eventually uncovers all sorts of sordid plots and rebels against them. Not exactly funny stories, but fun and had a lot of potential.
Slight Digression: Telltale actually had their own poll on this a little while back - it was a survey, not in the forums. So, I would wager that they have a pretty good idea what their fans want.
np: Lonelady - Early The Haste Comes (Nerve Up)
But i would also love to see a Hitchikers game, but given Douglas Adams' lack of input (due to being dead, for those not in the know), i can see fans being extremely critical of it if it wasn't done right. Even though every iteration of the franchise was different in some way (compare the film to the radio plays, or the books).
