Should TTG *EVENTUALLY* make another Monkey Island game
Every one has different opinions and ways of looking at things. Why should I post any details?

I WANT IT NAAAAU!!
That is all.
...who am I kidding. Yes, sweet jebus, a thousand times YES!
Come on LucasArts, pull your thumb out and allow TellTale (or ideally Double Fine if I'm being perfectly honest - due to Ron Gilbert being there) to make a new installment of everyone's favourite pirate themed gaming franchise.
Don't make me come over to the Ranch and kick some ass old school style... alright then, I admit it; come over to the ranch and beg with pleading tears of desperation. Ya hear me?
"This will not stand, ya know, this lack of a new Monkey Island will not stand, man."
It would be great it TT could handle the writing and LucasArts the graphics and sound. That would be a dream come true.
Although if TT handles it all I will not be bothered at all
Honest question. Why do you still post here if you do not like the games and believe they are not going to make anymore "real" adventure games?
I honestly like you Dashing you are a fun guy, and usually generate some great conversation.. but recently you seem to be a broken record.
Also, what's with everyone thinking that Ron Gilbert would be unable to get involved with a Telltale MI game due to him being in Double Fine? Sure, he wouldn't be able to work on it full time, but he can still contribute, right?
I would certainly be happy with a continuation of Monkey Island games without Ron Gilbert's contribution or with him acting in an advisory role again (ala Tales). However, and I can only speak for myself here, in a perfect world and in an ideal situation, love to see Ron act as the project leader for one final, epic Monkey Island game.
But, like I said... I'll "settle" for a continuation of the series in any form (as long as it's still in the adventure genre).
Boy howdy yes!

Yeah, because Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer have no idea what they're doing when it comes to making a Monkey Island game, right?
Sure they made Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango... but I guess making Psychonauts and DeathSpank just made them both totally forget what an adventure game is, huh?
Yes, along with all the garbage other games Tim has worked on.
No one calls Brütal Legend garbage.
I wouldn't mind if, like 5 years from now, when LucasArts is in the nostalgic portion of their cycle, they throw the Monkey Island license to Double Fine. It would be very interesting to see what they'd do with it. Their recent series of experimental download titles in different genres have all been very interesting, and Stacking in particular has a very healthy adventure spirit (with a much more compelling take on the difficulty barrier issue than what Telltale has come up with). So I think that, with a proper budget and timetable, a DF-developed Monkey Island would be potentially pretty great.
Well, yeah, in a perfect world, yes. And he did show some interest in making that long-awaited fifth installment, which is supposed to take place between MI4 and TOMI, so that would be great (though I'd prefer it taking place AFTER TOMI, so a more 'final' ending can be made).
Why are they garbage? Sure, they're not perfect, but they were great. What are you looking for in a video game, exactly?
Your statement on a hypothetical MI game by Double Fine being "a dumbed down platformer" is strange, because Tim Schafer, in his whole career, had only ever made ONE platformer; Psychonauts. You're saying as if Double Fine is only capable of making one genre of videogames when, really, each game they release has a different genre than the others. That's the thing about Tim Schafer's games, isn't it? The fact that each game is very different from the last.
The only thing you said that made sense is the fact that they're only released for XBLA and PSN, but that's not really Double Fine's fault, is it? The publisher for each game will only make PC versions if they're popular enough. You also said that the games are too short, but that's because they were supposed to be short games, and not big, blockbuster games.
You have to remember that Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer aren't idiots, nor are they heartless, cash-grabbing demons. They're not gonna turn the franchise that they're most famous for into a "dumbed down platformer". You have to realize that if YOU know it's a bad idea, then they definitely already knew that it's bad as well.
Anyway, I would LOVE a new Telltale MI game. I enjoyed TOMI, and Telltale has shown a lot of improvements in Devil's Playhouse, so I would really love to see them putting that kind of effort on the MI series.
If you want to viewww paradise, just simply take a look around and view it! There's nothing much to it, all you have to do is simply view it.
Its been to long since the last wait. I really don't think it would be a good idea. Its at its height of popularity after TMI and the SE's but a 9-10 year just kill its popularty and fan base apart form a few diehard fans.
Why? Monkey Island isn't exactly a series that has had graphical prowess as one of its hallmarks over the years, nor has Telltale ever made being on the cutting edge of visual design a priority. A new Monkey Island could go back to looking like the original for all I care.
This would be preferable. (Minus Guybrush. He needs his new game makeover, of course.)
"recently"?!
You mean "fungi," right?
Perhaps in the hope that Telltale will have a return to form in the near future. That and the fact that he's been here for over three years, and doesn't want to leave merely because the company's going through a a 'bad period'.
There's only a limited number of ways to say something is crap. Dashing sounds like a broken record because he's continually voicing his honest opinion on a poor quality product, and his discontent for the current direction in which Telltale is headed. And he's continually voicing these things because threads like this (and the myriad threads over in the 'BttF' forum) keep giving him the opportunity to do so. And one might say that Dashing shouldn't take every opportunity to voice this(/these) opinion(s), but in a way, he sort of has to. I mean, hardly anybody else is giving a truly honest and fair critique of Telltale's recent output, so where else are Telltale meant to get honest feedback from? They need some sort of indication that their recent product has been utter garbage, especially when so many other forum members are giving the company vacuous praise and ill-conceived positive feedback. Dashing, you might say, is going a bit overboard at times, but he's acting as a counterweight to all of the empty, stupidity-fueled optimism that so much of the forum possesses and conveys.
I'd rather listen to a 'broken record' whose posts contain quality content rather than a member with hundreds of different, but utterly pointless and inane junk posts. In a forum where more and more of these sorts of posters seem to be popping up, I'm glad that someone like Rather Dashing is still posting here.
