The only decent games TTG ever produced were the StrongBad games. However, it should be noted that the Bros. Chap were heavy contributors to the writing and puzzling of that series. The Chaps KNOW adventure games. The TTG writing staff haven’t a clue.

I have ZERO (or ONE) hopes that this version of MONKEY ISLAND will satisfy a true adventure-gamer. They have failed in almost every attempt in the past.

If I had not pirated their games, I’d feel quite the fool right now.

The TellTale Sam & Max games suck, and from the looks of it, so will the Monkey Island ones.

Sounds good, but TellTale games have ruined sam and max, and chances are they’re going to do the same to monkey island by applying their overpriced episodic gaming to it.

Their hearts are in the right place, but face it, telltale games just can’t make good adventures games. (Probably because they keep splitting them up into episodes)

oh my god im really looking forward to the remake but i still think its the sadest thing ever that the first new monkey island game WITH 2d graphics is actually just a remake of the first one and for the second game they again use these ugle 3d graphics that totally ruined monkey island for me

Its odd that Earl Boen is voicing LeChuck in the Secret of Monkey Island remake, but from the trailer doesn’t appear to be doing the Tales of Monkey Island voicework. Perhaps the voice in the trailer is merely a placeholder, maybe they’ve not finished recording the lines.

Magnificent, although Guybrush in the episodes of monkey island looks all wrong. That chinstrap HAS to go.

Where’s my Day of the Tentacle remake?

I hope Telltale can pull it off. I really like that gang and their dedication to the adventure genre, but their writing and puzzle design have never been close to the heyday of LucasArts. But that’s an awful lot to ask of any team. I’ll tolerate 3D if the writing is there.

I haven’t played Strongbad yet but the Sam & Max chapters were okay. But I want a lot more than okay from Guybrush and co.

@M.P.: Have you tried Virtual Canvas? It’s a software MIDI synth for PC that really blows Windows MIDI out of the water. I love playing my old DOS games through it.

@Edweirdo: Same here. Kings Quest and Space Quest were the games that got me into the genre, and Sierra was even more important to me back in those days. But I admit the style of Lucasarts is of more interest to me these days…well unless I could have Gabriel Knight 4. :)
