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.
That is a concern and why the last monkey island game was so terrible, had nothing to do with previous incarnations, stylistically speaking.. I fear the worst but have accessed Ccard in their favour, let's hope..
I'm in total shock. I can't believe it :eek::eek::eek:
I thought you must have known, after visiting the office a few months back. We kept talking about people being busy because they were in "Monkey Mode" and I could have sworn someone had it up on their screen. But yeah, that's why you weren't allowed into the back half of the office

I'm glad I never saw it.. It allowed me to join in the fun of today.. the 5 hours of W&G must have numbed me to any MI references.. Plus I had got my head around Lucasarts never giving up any of its licenses that even If I saw it I still wouldn't have believed it.
When I first joined up with this site way back at the beginning, I had this day in mind. Honestly, I never thought it would actually happen. This is truly amazing. Congratulations Telltale. This has only happened because you guys have been so successful with the other franchises you have produced.
OH....MY....GOODNESS!!!!! This is the biggest, most unexpected, wonderful suprise I could have ever thought possible when going to check my worldofmi email.
I know I've already said my thank yous, but I feel like that's not enough! I'm seriously going to buy all your games... just as SOON as I get a job. XD
<--- Only 15.
Also, I think you guys should steal-- *Ahem* "make" a new Psychonauts game.
Just kidding. :P

Check out Brütal Legend when it comes out. It's from Tim Schafer and a lot of the people that made Psychonauts, so you know it's going to be good.

What do I... what? I'm too stoned to do that kind of thing right now
Seriously, it's amazing news! Especially after browsing through the team page.
Have a big issue, though. I'll have to play the last episode of W&G and the first episode of ToMI simultaneously. Oh poor me

Judging from the trailer, no.
Thank you. Very much.
Even if it does not work out as good as we all hope.
Today, I'm a happy gamer.
