Games you'd like to see Telltale make

Post here some games you'd like to see Telltale games make - whether it be a new series you've just invented, or a sequel to something (remember - it doesn't actually have to be possible). :)

I'd like to see Telltale make:
  • Simon the Sorcerer 5 (yes, I know there is one out in Germany, but I doubt that'll ever get an English release, sadly)
  • Monkey Island 5
  • Bone: Episode 3
:D!

    Zazzle & Fib. An intelligent snake partner must be the single most abusable inventory item an adventurer can wish for. With nothing to hold Telltale back, I foresee some truly hilarious adventures.

    In my studies of the many volumes of the Zazzle and Fib cannon, I've always seen Fib (the snake) as Zapp Brannigan's Kif. He's smart, he's often abused by his counterpart (if only he had opposable thumbs, he'd get to keep his cool shades and hat) but he's the brains of the operation.

    Since Fib doesn't have hands, he always needs Zazzle to interact with the world. It would be interesting to have a game where you play a character that knows what's going on and has to manipulate the clueless but powerful Zazzle into doing something that will help him achieve his goals.

    Reminds me of the concept of an Inspector Gadget game that someone once brought up.

    DAY OF THE TENTACLE II!!!

    Another day of the tentacle would most likey be a let down regardless. I can see it being very difficult to make a sequel to and people wouldn't be happy unless it included most elements from the original. But then people would complain it's just a rehash. No one will be happy in the end.

    No such thing! Why if I were to name a game it would be nothing but colons!

    Barney Google (episodic)

    (my favorite comic strip series from the 1950s, dunno if its still around or not, but it was gold, the hero was an old about town man named Barney Google, who got into all sorts of mishaps, my favorite of which was the Eli Whitney story)

    Futurama or The Simpsons (episodic)
    Telltale is already making games based on two other comics/ TV series.



    A Lovecraft story of some sort (adventure)

    Not a Lucasarts sequel. Come on, this isn't just Lucasarts the second, this is an entirely new company. But in all honesty, what the hell ever happened to Bone?

    Well, I'd like to see some original new game by Telltale too, but it seemed pretty obvious this thread was referring to already well known games and/or characters. But whatever, I'd like a new episodic series based on the viking world with a main character that can't wear his two-horned helmet properly because it's oversized, then he unscrews (can I say that in english?) one of the horns and finds a map which brings to a non-specified something and his quest is to discover that stuff. Oh, he's also weak and the other viking guys are super strong.

    I'd quite like to see what someone (sorry, can't remember who it was) mentioned in another thread - Asterix and Obelix! They're comic book characters, so they'd fight right in. :)

    Firstly, Telltale is a company for adventure games and secondly, I don't think any of the team have had experience in FPS.

    I know I wouldn't buy a Telltale made FPS (not being harsh, I don't like FPS).

    Its prefereble to focus in one area and do it right, than attempting to do all and wrong.

    FPS games are too different to adventure games. And switching focus, well its like asking McDonalds to switch to Car building, can't happen overnight and will cost a lot of money and effort.

    Maybe in time, when TT grows, TT can focus on more similar genres (e.g.: RPGs) and maybe later FPS.

    How many FPSs are there out there right now? I was sick of them years ago, and I'm even more sick of them now.

    When a developer like Telltale comes along and makes something different, like the point and click games they have been making, it's a real breath of fresh air.
    The last thing I'd want is the first developer in years to create successful and actually GOOD point and click games to put the genre aside for yet another FPS series.

    The last thing I'd want to see Telltale do is a LucasArts (ie, pushing aside all point and click games to focus on more action based games).

    TT Dunk Tank for the Wii.
    Select your favorite TT team, former Intern or Character and dunk him (or her)

    I always thought Calvin and Hobbes would make an excellent adventure game, you know sort of childish, but also sort of ageless.

    Star War- The Third Gathers: The Backstroke of the West. I foresee a best selling game based on this.

    for the ones who haven't seen it. (Only somewhat SFW)

    yeah but, the companies almost don't even know they exist, and since they came form Lucas arts..not a good track recored... yes maybe point and click are refreshing but your are a very small percentage who likes this stuff hardcore

    yeah but point and clicks are not hard to create either, i want them to try something more challenging
