What to call the next season of Tales
Say if this season of Tales of Monkey island goes successful and a second season is announced, just is it possible for it not to be called Tales of Monkey Island Season 2. Just that to make it more in theme you could say.
Like how they have it with each season of the tv show Red Dwarf, instead of being called Red Dwarf season 2 or season 4, it's called Red Dwarf II and Red Dwarf IV.
So if there is a 2nd season of Tales of Monkey Island, could it be called "Tales of Monkey Island 2" or for more style and even better, call it "Tales of Monkey Island II" to give it that like old feeling

Also, speaking Red Dwarf - Imagine a TTG game based in that IP!
Of course yes but this is like a small precaution say if so that to brace ourselves.
I mean for like the spirit of the Monkey island series in a way, to call season 2 of Tales (if there will ever be one) to be "Tales of Monkey Island II".
I imagine it now:
Tales of Monkey Island
More Tales of Monkey Island
Even More Tales of Monkey Island
Holy Hell, MORE Tales of Monkey Island?
Tales of Monkey Island Part Five: The Reckoning
i'm not sure i really want another season...
Hey! Escape was my favourite. I mean, the Monkey Kombat bit was the worst but other than that you had a descent game.
The only reason it was considred bad was because it didn't sell well in the US since during that time, people wern't into much adventure games anymore. But the game sold very well in Europe and Australia. Plus many major game sites and gaming magazines like IGN etc. gave it high ratings.
So you have no game to blame except yourself US (no offence intended).
By the way, i think he needs more to take part in the writings, because i think he said something like he wont that much involve.
that's actually a good title XD
I have to argue with you on that one. Do you label the Star Wars movies the way they were released in order? Do you label Revenge of the Sith as Star Wars 6?
Games should be labeled based on their timeline in a series. In this case, the developers have already said ToMI takes place after a fictional 5th game.
And I really can't consider episodic games as "game xx in a series", personally.
I take the rather radical approach of making things easy for a possible audience who hasn't pre-ordered the special edition super bonus t-shirt. Instead of making stuff easy, you want to make stuff hard. How would it work with "back to the future"? So you're all for titles like "MI -12" (yeah, that's Monkey Island minus twelve). We should also use decimals! Then things would get really complicated!
Get a clue. Keep stuff simple and easy so there will be no misunderstandings and so that everyone will know what we're talking about so we can talk about better stuff than "naa aaahh, it's called cartoonISH".
It's just formality anyways, has nothing to do with the actual gameplay. Not everyone is involved in forums and has info. They could just be downloading MI2 for kicks then just googling MI5 out of bordedom and when not getting any results, they'll just not look anymore. Make things easy. Me for president.
And for what? To not upset the diehard fans? *NEWSFLASH* Die-hard fans are addicts, they will buy no matter what! As in elections it's the unsure crowd that is the target audience. Get them.
More Tales of Monkey Island
followed by
More Tales of Monkey Island with a vengence.
I don't think thats the case. Frankly, while I did enjoy EMI, it simply wasn't up to the level of the other MI games
The Pirates of Monkey Island
The Smugglers of Monkey Island
The Zombies of Monkey Island
The Ghosts of Monkey Island
The Book of Monkey Island
Return to Monkey Island
The Battle of Monkey Island
I dunno.
In le meilleur des mondes possibles LucasArts would make new Monkey game, but continue their cooperation with TellTale and we would see both "Monkey 5" and second season of Tales.
But that's just daydreaming at this moment, we have to wait and see how well Tales and Special Edition sell and how the cooperation between the two companies works.
The Adventures of Monkey Island
The REAL Secret of Monkey Island
The Death of Monkey Island
The Revenge of Monkey Island
The Attack of Monkey Island
The Disappearance of Monkey Island
The Monkey Island Experience
But that's not really the spirit of Monkey Island is it?

Actually The Spirit of Monkey Island would be a pretty cool name.
The story takes place where Guybrush doing nothing but just doing erands around Melee which untill Admiral Ricardo Luigi Pierre M'Benga Chang Nehru O'Hara Casaba the Third arrives with a fleet of what's left of Mandrill's army (which he has now control of) which raids Melee and captures all the pirates with Elaine taken hostage. Guybrush tries to confront Admiral Ricardo which then he gets beaten over the head and blacks out. He then wakes on a ship which he then finds out is on course to Australia.
Once reaching Australia, Guybrush tries to find a way off and back to the tri-island area but also exploring the local area of the town he's in, in Australia.
Sam & Max Save the World
Season two was renamed
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space.
So the real question is what will they rename season one.
Tales of Monkey Island: (fill in the blank)
I don't see why they should rename it. Game already has a perfectly good name and Jake said earlier in this thread that if they make another Monkey game, they would keep the Monkey Island part and replace the "Tales of" with something else.
The only standout title is part 2, which is just called Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, instead of the usual (Secret/Curse/Escape/Tales) of/from Monkey Island.
Monkey Island 4 is absolutely horrible!
Its graphics were old sinced the release, the MI spirit was ruined with "consumistic" atmospheres (lucre island SUCKS), there were LOTS of conitnuity and story errors (how the hell did Hermann come to Monkey Island? With his vessel, as said in MI2, or in a ship race, like said in MI4?), Herman is Elaine's father (like said in old MIs) AND her grandfather (like said in MI4)! Plus it lost all of the dark atmospheres we saw in old MIs (hell, cemeteries, blood island...). Guybrush is a complete idiot, LeChuck is no more the great nemesis, being Ozzie Mandrill's (Silvio Berlusconi in MI
The only bit of the game at the same level as MI1,2 and 3 was Stan's enigma.
Or at least I saw MI4 like this.
Chronicles Of Monkey Island
The Secrets Of Monkey Island
np: Tosca - Annanas (Cosmic Rocker Dub) (Suzuki In Dub)
Simply because i'm already scared of this one and i don't want MI to become a soap opera just because of its fame. i like to have have a good remembrance.
But pheraps i'm wrong and it'll turn out to be the best of the whole serie!
that's why i wrote "i'm not really sure..."
let's wait this new story and hope! then we'll see
that's it!
