E3: Tales of Monkey Island

[MtWaverlyProductions]

finally, i have been waiting for this to happen for ages! does this mean that telltale have bought the rights from lucasarts? Also im wondering which game this will continue from.

[azzkode]

this game will continue from monkey island 5. but since the monkey island 5 isent made jet telltale live rom for the lucas art to make a nr 5

[SpiderBoyLIVES]

should be on the ps3.

[jkgatling]

should be on all consoles,

But its a point and click game so It would simply work best on PC and Wii

[iDrowzeeProductions]

Try to count how many times you hear the word "Monkey" in this video. lulz

[MtWaverlyProductions]

i counted, and it's about 14 times

Na-naaa na na na na naaa! ~

If we can get a Day of the Tentacle season, then Telltale Games can change their name to Aesir. (If you don't get it, read up on mythology.)

I have played the first 2 about 500 times by now and I am still laughing my ass off. Can anyone say 3 headed monkey?

[GammaDX27]

Telltale did a pretty awesome job with Strong Bad, IMO, so this should be pretty badass. Great interview!

[LevelHeadedGaming]

Cool interview SWAG!

[Lobos222]

Monkey Island 3 and 4 is still playable by todays standards. 1 and 2 have a bit too crappy looks, but they are also remaking Monkey Island 1 in HD.

What I though was missing in this interview was a question about the controls. Hopefully it will be like Wallace and Gromit, (dpad or mouse), but that you also can left click to walk to spot, which Wallace 1 missed. The dpad shoulder button cycle through points of int really made it playable with a dpad doh.

Yes on of my favourite games of all time is back cant wait.

[shiversul]

WAAAAY to much audio going at once there :S

[Arppis]

Wish they made something new to the series, but I really hope this will be good ofc, love the series.

Most people will say prolly that the 2nd or 1st is the best, but I kinda liked the 3rd one most. 4th one was a letdown. :(

[HalfBlindGamer]

Man that's just awesome! I'm so looking forward to this, it also gives me a good reason to replay the first games :)

[Icedude32]

I have actually never played a Monkey Island game, but I think it's time to get started playing them :D

[SWAGshow]

BTW, they are re-releasing MI 1 and 2 so people can get caught up on the franchise. You can also start at Curse of Monkey Island; you won't get some of the jokes and references but it'll get you up to speed on most of the story.

[Icedude32]

ok thanks a lot dude ^^

are they re-releasing it for Xbox Live Arcade or PSN?

[hamzie11]

Live arcade

[hamzie11]

MI 2 remake?

dont think so

[LadyBuggin777]

awesome cool game coming soon ... very nice interview, you handle it like a pro~ ...thanks for the great info :)

[Karekristensson]

No way....

A new Monkey Island game is on the way! :D

[PrinceJedimaster]

hmmmm sucks for those of us who weregoing to play on wiiware. $15 more than PC. I must say that this (while it looks fun) is not a game I will get.

[MartinusPrime]

Heh heh. I remember when I got the first 3 games as a teenager, I was guilty of using walkthroughs a lot. But it's been years since then, and so now I can enjoy them properly as many times as I wish.

Speaking of which, I just finished playing MI1 last night, now I'm gonna move onto MI2 =D

[SWAGshow]

Hey man, I'm guilty of that too, but I would only use it as a last resort after talking to everybody in one location and trying to interact with every single thing in the environment for an hour. I damn near impossible to get through most of the MI games without some help here and there. Still, they are a ton of fun.

[MartinusPrime]

Heh. yeah. I had gotten the walkthroughs from a CD that came with a magazine. When I actually bought the games, I was visiting my cousins who live many miles away so I didn't have access to the disc. I managed to get the ship and crew by then =)

[MartinusPrime]

And of course, nowadays, walkthroughs serve as a last resort (well, except maybe the old Sierra games I have yet to play, heh heh)

[braineaterknux]

This looks awesome.

[jkgatling]

awsome!
