Now give me my Bill & Ted season one.

Of course, being one of the weakest LucasArts adventure games doesn't say a lot, since they're all so great. Only Sam and Max, Maniac Mansion and The Dig are lower on my list.
Telltale knows what works for an adventure game and what doesn't. Tales of Monkey Island showed us that Telltale could give games a serious side to them, as opposed to the zany side like Sam and Max or Wallace and Gromit.
It would be a real challenge for the folks over at Telltale as Throttle keeps things in a practical spectrum and grounded in reality. There are no giant bees or talking animals or voodoo powers or magics of any kind. I don't consider hover-technology to really be any sort of magic...
A follow up to Throttle would have to have a coherent and believable story that is fleshed in reality. No falling back on any sort of secret powers. Every action would be influenced by human motivation, just as the first game was. Again, maybe not what Telltale was looking for, as a lot of their stories take place in fantasy worlds. But I sure as hell would love to see them try for something as epic as the first game.
If anyone had to have the property, I would trust Full Throttle in Telltale's hands before I would trust anyone else.
This. Wholeheartedly. But I'm still not sure I'd like to see a Full Throttle without Conrad.
As much as I like Telltale, Full Throttle would really benefit from Double Fine instead!
Are you trying to start a fight? :P
And I would agree with your assessment of Time Schaefer's games except for...well... all of his games except FT. Haven't played his newest one so I can't really comment on that, but Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and Psychonauts were all fabulous.
It could be interesting to see through the eyes of a rival gang. The Vultures would be a nice choice, since we only got to see them for a short time
Really, at the end of Full Throttle, with the exception of
There's more that could happen to him. The plot and the conflicts don't need to carry over from the previous game, but there's a world here that can be further explored, and some of the concept drawings from the Payback sequel were looking to do just that.
And again, I feel compelled to reiterate that it is a world grounded in reality. No fantasy objects, no magical orbs, no time-travel. Because of this, everything has to follow a logical process and reasoning. I like that. I don't mind the zany and crazy like Sam and Max or Tales of Monkey Island, but I want to see if Telltale can keep this consistent with the previous game.
No continuations, no alterate story lines, just leave it.
People are picking up way too much story's that should be left alone.
Accept the mystery.
Let Telltale come with an original franchise for a change.
They're ready for it!
However, I think there's a world here that can really be explored (and exploited) and Telltale could work wonders with having an original character in an original story.

That could work I think.
Since I first posted in this thread Telltale has shown me that they can do a serious game, with serious adult subject matter.
I was afraid that The Walking Dead would be toned down with swearing and quick cuts away to avoid gore, but Telltale has proven that they don't have to be all family-oriented all the time. And it looks like it has paid off.
I'd still be very interested in seeing Telltale take on this license since Full Throttle, much like The Walking Dead does take itself seriously.
Also, the rights to Full Throttle (much like Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle) reside with LucasArts, and unless they change their current stance, nothing further will ever happen with it.
I wouldn't count on Telltale getting the license to Full Throttle though, at least not until another management shift at LucasArts. The current president is not interested in licensing out their properties other than Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
LucasArts have to want to sell them before anyone could even think about buying them and even then they'd probably want crazy money that a small studio like Double Fine has next to no chance of having.
@CaptainMuganda The rights to MI or MM would be in the $10,000,000 range and that's just to get the negotiations started.

This is true. Although it doesn't exactly have to be Roy Conrad's Ben it would be interesting to see if Telltale could make a newly-initiated Polecat just as memorable.
For when we last left Ben it seemed as though he was going off on his own into the sunset. I think Telltale would do great with this if they could write an epic story.
The whole diesel punk post-apocalyptic atmosphere always struck me as interesting.
If anyone who actually works at TTG reads this, could you nag somebody about it? Pretty please? I will totally buy a full throttle sequel when and if they ever make one. That and ToonStruck. Do people still know about ToonStruck?
Sam & Max is actually licensed by Steve Purcell (the author of the comics). How I understand it, LucasArts has pretty much refused to license adventure games, and are only interested in Star Wars and Indiana Jones games. Only time can tell if they will change their minds on that. Maybe with the new LucasArts president...
Two presidents later, I really don't think we're getting anything new. Not anytime soon at least and likely not with telltale at that.
edit: oh ninja'd.
*cry*
Jeez. Those things didn't even come out all that long ago and we're already through two presidents? What are they doing to them over there?
Let's just say the recent LucasArts presidents think innovation costs too much, then are surprised when non-innovation doesn't work.
