He's involved in this SOMI remake, so he should be here as well... I wasn't expecting this at all, can't wait for it now. Will it go before of after Season 3?
isn't he doing that death spank game as well ?
no gilbert - no monkeys, at least imo. I love Sam&Max, I kinda like but not love Wallace&Gromit(so far) but I dare telltale games to come up with something better or in the league of the pirate dialogues featured in SOMI (especially the insult duel). I just don't think any studio on this earth would cut it at this time. the days of monkey island or DayOfTheTentacle are gone. I hope it's a 2D game !!!! please, telltale, 3D works for the clayanimation characters of W&G, but I don't think S&M in 3D did gain much.
I already have this preordered. Even though I am a big fan of telltale I can't thank you guys enough for bringing back one of my favorite gaming series.
Telltale, you guys are spoiling us: first Sam & Max, now Monkey Island?! Now we are gonna expect you guys to make all the rest of the awesome LucasArts adventure games!
So yeah, we're making some new Monkey Island games. What do you think about that?
Eh, I guess that's okay. I mean, my insides are only about to explode in spectacular fashion from an ungodly combo of immense Squee! and Glee!, so it must be all right with me. *shrug*
Seriously, though: Eeeeee! And a "HELL YES!" thrown in for good measure. <3<3
Oh my god I had a feeling you had a huge ace up your sleeve after Strong Bad and Wallace and Gromit but this is just oh my god WOW. I can't stop GRINNING.
I'm so happy Dominic Armato is involved in this and the Secret remake, too! Curse was my first Monkey Island game, so Armato IS Guybrush to me. It was so cool hearing him do the voice again! What a nostalgia bomb!
:eek:
You should have seen my chin became as wide open as a crocodile chin!
WOW! WOW! WOW!
I'm just..too shocked...Lucas Arts are becoming sane again
and ... Ron Gilbert is involved and ...
Hey Wait a 2nd!This means our poor project dies?
Why you :mad: I mean .... I NEVER FELT BOTH HAPPY AND ANGRY AT THE SAME TIME....
I now feel my life is totally wasted...I put my energy to cast auditioners with lots of other cool people in our project and now ...:mad:
We put lots of effort in it ... we are even near casting hollywood people like Patrick Warburton as Meathook ... we are waiting for his response and now...
I did lots of art for this...I made a letter template ...
We were doing great and this ... this was the best and worst news I heard in my life at the same time!..:mad:
I am so excited it is beyond belief. This is amazing This is just absolutely AMAZING. Telltale, you are officially the best games company out there. Pre-ordered before even looking at anything properly. I'm pretty much speechless.
My prayers have been answered.... 5 times over!!!
I could not have wanted anything better, I was expecting something good from E3, but nothing like this.
Gamespot reports that the game is coming on WiiWare, I kind of fear that at least one of the episodes will have trouble fitting into the size limits for WiiWare games.
But it doesnt matter, you guys are the kings for this stuff as far as I'm concerned.
I loved you when you brought back Sam & Max but now you've gone and brought back my favourite series of all time! I'm not sure there sufficient adjectives that will describe my new found levels of loveness(?) for you
Michael Land and Dominic Armato doing voices too? It's like a lifetime of Christmas' and Birthdays rolled into one tasty lump of gaming perfection. Thanks guys!
When I first read the news I was shocked! But also a little sad because I am sure this new game is not going to be as "wow" as the first ones (after all is the 5th episode in the saga). I just hope you guys are going to do a great job (especially in the plot that should not be too childish).
What about developing your own brand? You have the people that can do that! I am thinking about a more "serious" game (like Full Throttle or The Dig) which involves more adults theme (but comedy as well).
By the way, congrats guys (and girls)! Greetings from an Italian fan!
Ciao!
See, it's things like this that make me think that Telltale is the best thing to happen to gaming in quite a long time. I didn't think I could be more excited after hearing about the revival of Sam and Max, then Strong Bad comes out, and now Monkey Island, easily one of my favorite franchises of all time. I...I'm going to go replay the first four games while I scrounge up the money for a preorder.
Now you've done it... all of those people who constantly posted "omg can j00 maek monkeh eyelend nao???" are going to think you made it out of pressure, and they'll be back in no time to endlessly beg for something else.
Incidentally... omg can j00 maek neverhood nao??? (kidding)
As always, I highly anticipate this, even though I was never a fan of MI. I trust TT to make it worth my dollars
To be honest, as a big fan of Monkey Island 2: LeCuck's Revenge I'm rather disappointed with the presentation. It's the same gripe I have with the Sam & Max "interpretation" by Telltale.
Sam & Max and Monkey Island 2 by LucasArts had these really nice hand-drawn backgrounds and character designs by Steve Purcell which I really fell in love with (look at the MI2 cover design *inlove*). But I never quite liked the visual style by Telltale.
These steril and crude 3D designs (nothing against 3D graphics per se) in comparison look like sh... - well, I just don't like them. They lack detail, they lack style, they lack beauty.
If the scripts of the new Monkey Island Tales are decent I may get over it. But I have that bad feeling, that if not the content, then the bad voice recording quality (distorted/hissing) known from other Telltale productions will kill these games for me anyways.
You know what? E3 is over. Once you hear the words "Monkey Island" you dont need to see anything else. No rinky dink motion controls or gritty shooters for me. Set a course for Monkey Island, see?

Friggin preordered as soon as I get the money in the card, but the banks are closed :_(

Wow, I can't believe it. I'm gobsmacked.
I could not have wanted anything better, I was expecting something good from E3, but nothing like this.
This cannot be anything but champion!
But it doesnt matter, you guys are the kings for this stuff as far as I'm concerned.
I will be sacrificing my first born to Max after this news. (Then again I'd do that even before this event. All hail Max)
Wow! Thanks Telltale, you are the best!!!
Michael Land and Dominic Armato doing voices too? It's like a lifetime of Christmas' and Birthdays rolled into one tasty lump of gaming perfection. Thanks guys!
I guess you guys currently must be drowning in preorders...
I hope Grim Fandango is next ;-)
Sure is amazing with Sam & Max and now Monkey Island!

Hey, maybe for your next miraculous trick, you guys could do some indy games, and rope in Hal Barwood & Doug Lee. ^_^
Jeez, TMI was only announced a couple of hours ago, people.

Hey, we're greedy grog-swilling scum, what do you expect. ;P
Telltale, how do you keep doing these kind of things?
AND YOU GOT DOMINIC ARMATO TOO?!?
You guys are awesomeness incarnate!
Also, welcome back to the world of cool people, LucasArts! We missed you.
(Is Earl Boen coming back as LeChuck? If not, well, we can't have everything.)
SHAME ON YOU!
