Sierra Discussion

Even as a Kings Quest fan, my first reaction to this was, "I hope this means tell tale will eventually get to do a Leisure Suit Larry game!" Was I alone in this? I think the humor in tell tale's games (especially the sam & max series) would fit in well with LLL. Any other Sierra games that should get this treatment?

    I would love a Leisure Suit Larry, Freddy Pharkas or Space Quest game.. Those were all great and funny games.

    I know Freddy Pharkas is not really well known though so it isn't likely...

    As much as I love King's Quest, I admit I'd rather they do a Space Quest game.

    One of Telltale's greatest strengths is in their humor, so the goofiness of Space Quest would suit them more than the relative seriousness of King's Quest.

    Oh man Police Quest seemed so gritty and real when I was a kid.

    Shivers 2 was the only Sierra game I ever played and remotely enjoyed, so... Shivers 3? :p

    This should be a poll with multiple options.

    My ranking of what Telltale should do:
    Gabriel Knight>Space Quest> Laura Bow> Police Quest> Phantasmagoria(I'd just like to see them try)

    King's Quest has enough good sequels to last anyone.

    Gabriel Knight is my favourite Sierra series, followed by Police Quest.

    Quest for Glory is my favourite Sierra series, but I wouldn't like TellTale doing it, something like QfG requires far grander scope than episodic adventure games.

    ActiVision sold Leisure Suit Larry to CodeMasters. Telltale won't be doing that one unless they license it from CodeMasters.

    I feel the same way, but part of me just wants to see more Quest for Glory anyway. It's been 13 years! :P

    I would like to see a QFG title as well. Since the hero's quest is over, I would like to see another hero in the title. Maybe a "loser" female main character drop-out who decides to follow the footsteps of her college/school alumni in hopes to seek glory.

    Since the hero's quest is over

    Not necessarily! That all depends on what choice you made at the end, and besides, when something happens, a hero must answer the call! He always did before, and heck, half the time he was teleported away against his will anyway!

    True that he is always on the call, but I would like to Telltale start anew since Quest For Glory was intended to be the final game despite that it was going to have an expansion set. Just seems odd to me that they would start another one after Sierra tied everything up nicely in part 5.

    Having the mutliple endings in part 5 is done so that there wouldn't be a next one. I mean, the QFG games has a decent continuity and having the hero start a new adventure. Be hard to ignore whatever happened to the hero. For instance, did he become king, married someone, etc..? Giving him a new love interest and having him go onto a new adventure would defeat the purpose of those mutliple endings.

    True, I see what you're saying. Either a new story could work, or possibly a reboot like it seems they might be doing with King's Quest. After all, it would allow them to better tie things and themes together throughout the games, (If they wanted to reuse old plot elements) since QFG3 wasn't originally intended to exist, it always kind of felt odd, especially with the villain that wasn't important in the grand scheme of things.

    I'm just a huge QFG fan and seeing King's Quest coming back has my hopes up. :P

    I think the idea is that if King's Quest is successful Telltale will be able to make other old Sierra titles. I too believe Space Quest would be the best fit for them, and not just because it was my favorite of the old Sierra franchises. It had a wacky irreverent humor that Telltale have show they can do well.

    It would be FREAKING awesome if Telltale games brought back Leisure Suit Larry(the proper one, not those two insulting games that shouldn't even be part of the series). Just make sure Al Lowe has some sort of part of it. But before they do an episodic series of it, get Lust in Space made not in an episodic form but as a single game like it was originally intended. Also, it wouldn't be great if it was done in 3D make it 2D like Love for sail. THEN you can make an episodic series of Larry, also Torin's passage would be a sweet deal as well since it was planned out as a series similar to King's quest.

    Even though its not tell tale's usual genre, it would be interesting to see them take a stab at making a Phantasmagoria game. I loved the first one, but the second one was bad. At least with a series like that it might be easier since they don't have twenty years of continuity to deal with like other sierra titles.

    An FMV Phantasmagoria instalment from Telltale complete with episodic cliffhangers. I would buy it. :)

    They are both quite different and I liked them both at least I liked the second one up to a certain point where the puzzles really got unintuitive. (if you played the game you might know what I am referring to)
    There is a great Let's Play by The Spoony One for this game on his website. --> start at the bottom with hour 1 of course!

    Both games start quite slowly but I like the feel of the second game a lot more. The horror starts out more subtle and half of the game you just wonder if Curtis is nuts of if what he sees is real.

    The first game was clearly fantasy from the first second at least I had the impression because of the talking skull on the bottom of the screen.

    I would actually like to see a horror themed game by Telltale. That could be quite interesting.

    Also Telltale please make LSL 4.

    Definatly want Quest for Glory and Space Quest. On a side note, has anyone noticed that the KQ forums have more threads than the three other new game forums combined?

    I wouldn't have expected anything else tbh. Never heard of the other licenses.

    Beyond King's Quest, I'd most like to see a new Space Quest game. Hey, maybe if KQ does well enough, a new SQ is a possibility :).

    NO.

    I wouldn't mind seeing some new Police Quest games or even Leisure Suit Larry (but only if you get Al Lowe involved!).

    Al Lowe told me personally in an email a while back that there is no way he is coming out of retirement..... But I wonder if he would take a limited roll and add some jokes or plot ideas over the phone or something.... But sadly Larry is no longer owned by the same company that the other Sierra games are owned by.

    Quest for Glory seems like it could take Telltale in some awesome new directions. Episodic would mean you could carry your custom character through 5 parts, and they could even set up different endings depending on choices you made all through the series. Plus clunky RPG combat!

    Leisure Suit Larry and Space Quest seem best-suited towards Telltale's comedic style. Gabriel Knight would also work great if they wanted to do something more serious.

    LSL might be a more risque venture for TT, but I feel that's a series that can stand on it's own legs without all the gratuitous sex and nudity. It's a comedy about a 40 year-old bachelor chasing girls and going on exotic vacations - and even though the male lead was sleazy, the series always had charm. Even women enjoyed the games. Build a series around that instead of turning it into another disgusting porn fantasy for men like MCL and BOB.

    Another cool idea: continue the Torin's Passage series. Al Lowe already has a five-game story arc ready for it.

    She's freelance at the moment. There's no doubt TellTale would approach her, that's how they roll.
