Title of the next MI game

OtisOtis
edited March 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
Does it HAVE to be Tales of Monkey Island season 2? Im ok with it if the next is TMI 2, but I would love to see for example some of these other alternatives that came in mind.

How about?

- Return to Monkey Island

- The End of Monkey Island

- Monkey Island 6: Return of LeChuck

- Monkey Island: Story of Voodoo Lady

    - The End of Monkey Island

    What would give you such a terrifying idea?

    That wasnt my idea :) I saw a thread on that subject so i just threw that in there. And even that title doesnt necessarily have to mean the end of the series nor the end of the island called Monkey Island :) Right?

    Well, when you put it that way, Escape marked the end of anything that made Monkey Island worth visiting.

    This is such a great comment to answer to this.

    And saying that the island is empty/overdone/whatever is pointless. It's Monkey Island. ANYTHING is possible.


    But you still havent said what title would you prefer.

    On the one hand, I see your point. On the other, the giant monkey head is gone. If the team that does the next game decides to include the island, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I also wouldn't encourage them to do so. But I digress.

    I think the best name I've heard so far was "Legends of Monkey Island" or something like that. No ideas of my own, though.

    I hope they do change the title personally. It depends on a lot of things, though.

    The tradition of Monkey Island is to have very different games (including title) each instalment. Telltale's tradition is to have nearly identical games (apart from story and setting) each instalment.

    In my opinion, one of the main deciding factors is the overall appearance of the game. If the next game looks very similar to the first, then it would seem okay to call it Tales of Monkey Island 2 (not "season" two, because they're chapters rather than episodes - maybe "volume" two?). If it looks very different, then it would seem more acceptable to change the name completely.

    Monkey Island 5: The Mystery of Monkey Island

    Monkey Island 5: The Shroud of Monkey Island

    Remember that everytime money island was found Guybrush wakes up somewhere else in the next episode. Maybe there is another secret to money island; Maybe money island never was found?

    I think that Season one will have a subtitle Tales of Monkey Island: The Pox of LeChuck.

    So Season 2 wouldn't be called Season 2 but Tales of Monkey Island: Who Who The What Now? or whatever

    Otherwise Tale of Monkey Island would have been more appropriate. (Singular)

    But then it would have been A Tale of Monkey Island, and the acronym would have been aToMI.

    That would be a great name for the first season! But i think its too late to add that to the title now. Im almost certain it will stay as just "Tales of Monkey Island" though.

    Anyway, it seems that vast majority seems to think that some other title would be better for the next game, than "Tales of Monkey Island 2", that also gives Telltale a lot to think about and i do hope that they come up with a different and cool title in the next game!

    Didn't the Sam & Max seasons have their respective subtitles added after release or at least when S2 was released?

    It was my impression that Tales isn't part of the story proper. It's more like a spin off like ultima underworld. But I could be wrong...

    Oh, you are. Tales is official canon and part of the "main" story (if such thing really exists)

    I almost said the Curse of Monkey Island, than half a second later realized it's been done.

    so my idea: The Battle of Monkey Island

    I really don't have any ideas, but I can say that I'm against the idea of re-using "Tales" in the title. There's so many other options possible under the "____ of Monkey Island" paradigm, to see a second game called "Tales" again would feel a bit stale to me. Random ideas off the top of my head: (The) Legend(s) of Monkey Island, Journey to Monkey Island, The Fortress of Monkey Island.

    Hey, I didn't say they were good ideas, just that they were off the top of my head. Oh, I know! The Monkeys of Monkey Island!

    Wait, no, that could lead back to Monkey Kombat a little too easily...

    I say it should be Tales 2, if that game will turn out to use the same graphics and engine and all. After all, all games in the franchise differ greatly from each other.
