This one is totally coming out of left field but I would kill for a game based on The Walking Dead... (What? In a month I'm going to look like a genius )
The show was almost canceled, so it should be kinda cheap. And the series rocks! It could totally do with a video game. Maybe with ghost-show-down scenes like the planned Jurassic Park? Like QTE?
I have mixed feelings, because I fear it would be like the CSI games, which are kinda boring with those "Spot what's wrong" things, but still! I could fly, I guess?
Not that we don't have enough stickies already, and not that I don't enjoy topics with a similar purpose, but why don't we have a collective "this is what we want" topic?
Anyway, aside from a Doctor Who game (not going to happen) and a The Librarian game (not going to happen, unfortunately), I seriously want to see Telltale tackle a Mystery Incorporated style Scooby-Doo game. Perhaps revisit some old classic Scooby-Doo villains, but repack it all so that it all fits in the Mystery Incorporated style. And perhaps make it all lead to that unfortunate day the gang will be put into jail, which would be the start of their marvelous misadvantures of Flapjack. Without Flapjack. Naturally. Or, let them make a Hex Girls game! But only as long as they're including Jennifer Hale.
Or, a The Brave and the Bold game. Not sure how that would work out, although it could be something where Batman teams up with various DC comics characters and perhaps one adventure with Sam & Max. If that wouldn't work out though, I'd love to see another Bold game, specifically the Bold and the Beautiful.
Telltale could also team up with Nintendo and make a Trace Memory spin-off, or perhaps even a crossover game with Trace Memory and Eternal Darkness or something, that would possibly own. Ashley Mizuki Robbins teaming up with Alexandra Roivas puzzling her way into defeating Elder Gods, or perhaps resurrecting them again... Extra points if they can get Jennifer Hale to do Alexandra's voice again. Speaking of Eternal Darkness, I still need to play that game.
Beh, basically any adventure game as long as they involve Jennifer Hale.
Also, holy crap, Jennifer Hale did the voice of Miss Keane? How comes Samus Aran can do voices like Sam AND Mandy from Totally Spies?
Oh, talking about Totally Spies, Totally Spies: The Adventure Game. Totally.
It seems like the ones that pop up the most are Discworld, Futurama, and H2G2. I'd like to have all of them. The H2G2 one would have to be as crazy and unforgiving as the old text adventure though. The Discworld game would almost have to get Eric Idle back for Rincewind. As far as Futurama goes, why HASN'T TT done an episodic game of a TV series, it seems like it would be a perfect fit?
Hi people I really don't know if Telltale will listen to little old gamer me but I'll write this for all your fourmgoers anyway. My first idea for a license is probably hard to get: Star Trek. I'm probably one of the few who remembers "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary" and "Star Trek: Judgment Rites" done by Interplay way back in the day. These games followed the format of the old 1960s TV show perfectly and were presented as a series of lost episodes with an underlying arc which is really close to what Telltale does except for the fact that all the "episodes" came as one game.
My second idea is well MacGyver. Yes old Mac had a ton of fun science puzzles that could be pulled off in an adventure game. Getting Richard Dean Anderson shouldn't be that hard...and puzzling your way though grabbing important things and ducking bad guys sounds like fun to me.(heck you could even have multiple ways to solve a puzzle)
A lot of the series is about Sam and Dean researching "crime" scenes and interviewing people about the history of certain places and stuff... and then figuring out how to defeat the monster of the week. I'd say that fits an adventure game pretty well... maybe with a little QTE for the showdown, or (in different episodes) a dialogue puzzle like at the end of Indy 4.
I'd say a Supernatural video game with like 4 Monster of the Week episodes with, like, a common theme among them (maybe they were all, I dunno, summoned by the same bad guy for his master plan.... bear with me, I'm making this up as I go along) and a finale that tapes it all together would work. I think it would have a lot of potential... however, due to the series "dark and gritty" look, it probably wouldn't fit the usual TTG art style.
I think it just might work. And I don't know either way about Jared Padalecki, but I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be difficult to get Jensen Ackles into the recording booth. Jim Beaver and Misha Collins would be awesome but aren't a deal-breaker.

yep i just had to bring it up

Also new Discworld would be mighty nice as well!
Blade Runner
Gabriel Knight 4
Blades of Stenchtar IV
A Lio adventure game.
Telltale managed to make a silent protagonist work in Wallace & Gromit, now for the next step. An entirely silent adventure.
nuff said.
P.S. I'm back, what do you mean nobody has an eyevatar any more?
I still do.
Monk (Starring Tony Shalhoub)
Sandman Mystery Theatre (A crime, mystery noir story of the masked vigilante Sandman)
... But H2G2 would be.... I don't know, the best thing after the invention of sex probably!! :eek::eek:
(Basing on the books.)
Also, Maniac Mansion/DOTT (as per that oooold thread).
Edit: Bones as in Crime Drama, not the comic...
Star Trek has had fantastic adventure games. If you haven't played them, try them.

Also, the TF2 adventure idea, stark. raving. genius.

Any opinions?
But is it ever going to happen? Probably not.
Or
Monk: The Video Game, Starring Tony Shalhoub
Would love to see more of those worlds, Telltale should get the rights from LucasArts. Doubt they'll ever make another game in those universes.
