I'm hoping to see Puzzle Agent Season 1, and maybe some new pilot games. Or a second season of Tales of Monkey Island.
I'm curious about the tv/comic game but I have no idea of what it could be. The only new show that pops up in my head is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And strangely, I don’t think that would be an entirely bad idea
5?!!!!!
Well, I certainly didn't expect this many announcements!
Here's what I'm predicting, or anything that could happen.
1. -New Monkey Island Season (PLEEEEEASE!!!! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!!!!)
2. EITHER
-New Strong Bad Season (A possibility, given the recent SB Ports to PS3 (and presumably iPad), and the interaction with Matt Chapman recently in Poker Night, etc.)
OR
-New Sam & Max Series (Telltale own this series, they can make a new game whenever they please. With 5 announcements to come I don't think this is TOO out of the question)
3. -Puzzle Agent Series (Eh, what are the other 4 announcements?)
4. -Whatever the Comic/TV Adaptation is. (Wouldn't be able to guess)
5. -Totally different license that they're gonna surprise us with. Hmm...Harry Potter? :P (pleeeeeeease
5?!!!!!
-New Sam & Max Series (Telltale own this series, they can make a new game whenever they please. With 5 announcements to come I don't think this is TOO out of the question)
Psst - Telltale doesn't have the rights, it's just Steve trusts them enough to do as they please so long as they get the OK from him.
Holy crap is this ever exciting. My poor, poor wallet...
Anywho, my guess (well, hope really) for this exciting lineup is...
1) The walking dead (because what else could it be?)
2) Monkey Island Season 2
3) Puzzle Agent Sequal/Series
4) At the Inventory sequal
5) A new pilot
Also... has telltale expanded recently? Even if every one of these projects is a pilot, could they really do all of these in the course of a year with 90 or so people? (I'm not sure where I'm getting that 90 number from... so, feel free to correct dear forum people)
EDIT: OH! Unless a few of the announcments simply refer them porting an existing game to another system. That they could do in a year or so, no? (I say a year, by the way, because I don't see Telltale announcing anything anymore than a year in advance, but who knows! We could be getting the 2014 lineup out of this)

haha, okay, a Strong Bad season 2 would be just as amazing. I heard the Brothers Chaps wouldn't want to do it?
oh! A penny arcade game is a strong possibility. Telltale has a good relationship with them, and they went to all the trouble to find such a great Tycho voice...
Red Dwarf....... I can not be the only person who would want to play a Red Dwarf game made by TTG.
Only if they can get Chris Barrie, Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules, and Robert Llewellyn, and Chloë Annett. If so, then HELL YES.
If they can't get Chloë Annett, then only if they don't use Kochanski. I think a Red Dwarf game without Kochanski would work far better than another actress playing her.
If Chris Barrie would do Simon the Sorcerer game I do not see why he wouldn't do a TTG, game...
But honesly I do not think it would do well in the States at all.... I do not know many people that have even heard of it.... and less that actually had watched it.

Yeah, it's not likely at all to ever happen. But we can dream, right?

That is mainly because all of the characters on homestar except for Marzipan is voiced by just one of tbc. This cause for some MASSIVE voice strain.
In fact it was so bad well this explains it enough http://www.homestarrunner.com/cz110.html
Note how quiet they are, how homestar says the same thing most of the time, and how the easter egg is a repeat of strong bads lines in a different way.
Sheesh, five mystery projects, Jurassic Park, and we're still only one episode into BttF...I hope the Telltale Team doesn't pass out from exhaustion.
That said, while I have a hard time believing this comic project can be anything else, I hope it isn't The Walking Dead. Telltale's biggest selling point is probably its humor, which The Walking Dead wouldn't be suitable for. I'm pretty skeptical of Jurassic Park as it is for this very reason.
Also, I think a Penny Arcade game is a possibility. Of all the characters in Poker Night (not just the players and Winslow, but all the cameos in the opening as well), Tycho is the only model designed specifically for the game. For what's supposed to be a quick, 5-dollar game, Tycho seems strangely excessive, unless Telltale was planning something more with the model. Jerry even said he'd like to work with Telltale again.
Considering the way that Tycho looked at graphics level 1 and how poorly my graphics card was able to run the game even at level 2, I'd be somewhat concerned about a Penny Arcade game.
And as much as I hate to be that guy, five whole projects is concerning to me. We've already seen the quality of Telltale's output drop as they've taken on more things at once. I'm almost afraid of what they're going to put out while working on five more projects at once.

This. As badly as my heart sings out for a TMI season 2, I fear for the consequences of Telltale taking on so many games at once. We've already had a slew of iPad ports left in limbo, unreleased bonus content/upgrades, and overall broken promises.
But if they had the deeply disturbed Tony Moore and Robert Kirkman onboard, surely they could help TTG squeeze some very, very dark humor out of TWD >_>.

It's not just that, but I was so encouraged to see a gradual increase in attention to detail and quality in these games since Telltale started. By about the point of Tales I thought they were really starting to cook and much of Sam and Max 3 was the most polished work they've done yet, but I think some of the cracks are starting to show of late. I don't want that upward trend to go into reverse.
I'm a big fan of TTG personally, but they are yet to make something for which I would give an unqualified recommendation to others. My recommendations tend to be along the lines of 'it's really great once you get past some of slightly rushed presentation elements and corner-cutting that goes on due to their production model.'
I want to believe they know what they are doing as opposed to me, a know-nothing internet guy, but I also know they -can- do better and their games would benefit from a bit more love. In conclusion; great to hear there are games on the way, but please, please: make them of such quality that I don't feel the need to apologise for them at the same time as I'm singing their many praises.
Haha no, can't say anything more. You guys are asking all these questions and we haven't even announced anything yet.
I forget where you here for Poker Night? All we knew were about the characters and BAM we were off.
Come to think of it, Wallace and Gromit was like that too. All we knew was it was popular and BAM speculation galore.

And offer localization too.

Not sure what this was, but going by the edit note, I should reiterate that my post was just a joke. I really don't see the big deal here.

Yeah me too
You are not.

They seem kinda similar..

I already mentioned it. TTG and RD are a perfect mix.
And as much as I hate to be that guy, five whole projects is concerning to me. We've already seen the quality of Telltale's output drop as they've taken on more things at once. I'm almost afraid of what they're going to put out while working on five more projects at once.
We'll be revealing our projects to the press at our event on February 17. Look for coverage following our event.
A tad bit premature, but what time is the event as it'll be inevitably asked?
It's an evening event.
We won't be doing five more projects at the same time.
Wait so how long have these projects been in motion?
The way you say it these projects were going by the time poker night was out.
It's not just that, but I was so encouraged to see a gradual increase in attention to detail and quality in these games since Telltale started.

Can you say if any of the previous guesses are correct? (Don't have to say which ones....)
I forget where you here for Poker Night? All we knew were about the characters and BAM we were off.
Come to think of it, Wallace and Gromit was like that too. All we knew was it was popular and BAM speculation galore.
...
Yes, I know.
Let a guy dream. T_T
For clarification, I guess what Jake means is that a few of these projects are either A. Nearly Finished or B. In extreme pre-production.
