    Most notably! Congrats. :)



    Hey, can you at least give a yes/no/probably answer to this question:
    Will we know what either of the new titles are by the end of March?


    The shroud of no information is killing me. :(
    You won't know until five days before release. Telltale's trying to become Apple, you see.
    I kid! I kid!

    Are we there yet?

    Hmmm, new licenses... the most logical conclusion is that they're probably cult comics BUT, if we want to have our little "what we'd love to see done" discussion I second the Tex Murphy comment, i'd also love to see the two sequels to Loom but that aint ever gonna happen *sad*. The fan made one just isn't the same.

    Let me see, Lost is already being made by some other company as is the L&O series so they're out. To be honest I don't really see the point in any more games in that style, CSI is sort of about all you need for that crime solving genre (though I did like the questioning function in the last L&O game heheh).

    WHOO WII! I'm eagerly anticipating more games for the wii. So far i've been rather dissapointed with the selection of games (mostly sport and shooting games ew) so i'm eagerly awaiting the chance to buy the new telltale CSI game, Alone in the dark/park (ahahah) and this other telltale wii game.. oooo mystery game.

    Based on comments from the almighty dan connors from the past I would say:

    1: It's similar to something like Sam & Max
    2: It won't just be a comic license, it has to have a built in gaming audience.

    cult comics

    What do you mean by cult comics?

    Something less "mainstream" than, like, Spider-Man.

    (eg Bone, Sam & Max)

    If it is a Fatboy Slim game, I'd prefer "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" era, I think.

    You just stole them, put them in order, took a photo of them, and posted the whole thing on the forum, of a gaming company??!
    I do find that very hard to believe!

    Sorry... I do that sometimes... :p

    On the subject of licenses, I really hope that at least one of them is a funny one. We need more funny games, and you guys(and girls) at Telltale do it really well.
    If it's going to be something that already has a built in, gaming fanbase, then maybe we can hope for a Discworld serie of games?

    Pretty please?

    If they made a sequel to Day of the Tentacle, they'd have to hire back all the original voice actors. Personally, I can't get enough of Bernard.

    Coming into this late, very late. I have to just say that I am very happy to hear that things have been going so well for you guys. (I heard about this when it happened, just now bothering to write something.. hey, I'm in a chatty mood)

    I honestly had never heard about you guys (and ladies!) until the news that Sam & Max was coming under your wing. And I was overjoyed to hear that you were working with Purcell on the project. I have to say that I was a little itchy on how things would turn out at first, but not moments into the demo for the first game, and I was buying the first season. Telltale knocked Sam & Max out of the park, and improved that, and continue to do so with every episode. Season Two is fantastic, and I can really feel that you guys have hit your stride with the characters and setting, and the zany humor we all so love.

    I anticipate these two unknown properties quite a bit, and I have confidence that Telltale will do a great job with them, even if they turn out to be something I am not entirely a fan of.

    I think this is gushing fan post number five or so, so I will just end it quickly here. Keep up the great work guys, I love your interaction with the community, I love your eyes for detail and willingness to listen to what we have to say.

    Forever yours,
    Tony.

    P.S., see what I did there. It's a love letter... sigh, I know, I am lame.

    P.P.S., Wild speculation on my part as to one of the new properties. THE TICK! Spooooon! (P.S.S? I can never remember)

    Haha, yeah, it's definitely not Spy Fox. I'm guessing Freddi Fish.

    Would you really want to give your five year old a game with puzzles designed for point and click veterans?

    ...and neither of the new licenses is Monkey Island. so stop asking :p

    See that was what I was looking for, I knew it probably wasn't the case, but my mind was all like "Awesome some new Telltale games, what if one of them is Monkey Island, it's not Monkey Island, it could be, but it probably isn't, but what if it is?" Now I can stop wondering a just sink into excitement.

    I don't think the Brothers Chaps really want to going into gaming (except on their site). Doesn't seem like something they'd want to do. Then again, I'd love to be proved wrong.

    That would be awesome. I love the Toybox-themed cover that Purcell did for that issue of the "Storytellers" anthology book, with the raining coffins and stuff.

    how about a hellboy game there is a new movie coming out soon so how about a game based on the character.
  • edited March 2008
    How about a PvP game? They've got a cartoon now, so there's your build-in voice talent right there.
