Finally a new Monkey Island game

btw this works for using the voices with old graphics in scummVM:

2022, but did they say when approximately? (assume fall/winter?)

3 is great

Must plays are mi1 and mi2.
If you liked what you saw and wanted more. Curse and tales.
If you want to be a complitionist, play escape.

All have merits. But only mi1 and mi2 are pure soul.

The Telltale Games Monkey Island had the best story

>escape
secretly the best one

Does this mean we'll get a Grim Fandango 2?

3 is really fucking good, the music is gorgeous, the visuals amazing, the voice acting & writing excellent.
The only 'issue' which is only debatable, is that the game changes the character dynamics and plot of Monkey Island 2.
Curse is better in every way compared to Le Chuck's revenge.

I'm also somewhat fond of Tales, but that's another thread.

How would there be a sequel? The story ended. Mandy has ascended

I'm going to assume this is the legendary Monkey Island 3a that Ron posted about years ago. Looking over that old post, it seems like he implemented most of what he wanted from MI3a into Thimbleweed Park. I guess that's why Return to Monkey Island isn't as pixely.

I hope this is the final piece of the planned trilogy that we never got. My only hope is that Ron doesn't fuck this up. How many old IPs have gotten revivals that blow ass? Since we're talking about a Lucasfilm IP, just look at the Star Wars sequel trilogy. I liked Thimbleweed Park, so I have faith in this game. Hopefully Ron has full control, and Disney doesn't force him to water down the adventure game aspects.

I always thought that the Secret was what the ending to Thimbleweed Park was. The twist being that it was an adventure game all along! Hopefully if the Secret is revealed, it's not as retarded as that is.

I want this to be true so that Tim Schafer can fuck off forever.

3 is the best one of them all

>I hope this is the final piece of the planned trilogy that we never got.
There was no "planned trilogy".

2 is, clearly
3 looks and sounds great though

finally, soul is back on the menu

2 has terrible gross out jokes, ruins 1's happy ending, has a shit non-ending, and has more backtracking than 1 did.
2 is just 1 but worse.
3 is something different all together

Ron implied/said 3 is canon, but maybe it was interpreted wrong? In an older article he said that he would steal stuff from these games. Maybe that's what he meant?

am I being mindfucked by psyops

Hello, Yea Forums! I see anonymous is a smart person that is looking to buy a new video game. How about you pre-order this baby and I will throw in with additional charge some DLC to spice up the deal. Only three easy payments of $19.99!

Maybe he changed his thoughts on Monkey Island 3 and is fine with it being canon.
He might be making this new game set in-between 2 and Curse(3)
Maybe he'll retcon some of the stuff he didn't like but keep the rest, like maybe Guybrush and Elane Marley won't get married, since I think that was the main thing that Gilbert didn't like about Curse.

4 and Tales are probably not canon now though. Not much is lost. Though Tales isn't bad.

>ahoy
comfy as fuck

If I remember correctly, Ron wanted to make a third game back in the day, but bailed out of LucasArts before he could. He didn't know that the series would gain a cult following at the time, so he didn't stick around.

turns out there's another world to get through before going to heaven

>2 has terrible gross out jokes
name 3

>Spitting contest
>Spitting on the wall in the first tavern
>Phat Island

>Lucasfilm Games logo
wow!

I'd love to see a new Indiana Jones point and click ala Fate of Atlantis

Why is spit so gross to you, its not like there are extreme close-ups of it or they do anything gross with it. They're fucking pirates of course they'll be spitting, theres spit in monkey island 1 you know.
And Phatt island is really so gross-out to you? Really? Phatt island?

Monkey Island does not hold up.

>I hope this is the final piece of the planned trilogy that we never got.

The secret must absolutely be revealed, even if it's a joke. This should be the last game of the series with the original author "closing" everything.

Yeah, making this game between 2 and 3 and steal stuff from 3 is okay. It should be the last game.

It is possible that he considers it as a "scenario" but everything should be rewritten to fit his world. And why just 3 and not 4 and 5? It seems strange to me.

It would be interesting to see his take on 3, 4 and 5.

I think he'll "close" the series and recognize the works of other authors out of respect and to make the series remain relevant in the future.

Those aren't jokes my fren

Well it's just very un-witty. It's lowbrow in a way I don't like Monkey Island.
They're gags

It's not even a joke for the most part, the first two are puzzles. The first one could be a joke if you see it in, spitting, someone thing pirates are known for has been commercialized and seen as just family fun in a fair and the self-proclaimed pirate Guybrush still can't do it without cheating is a bit of a joke but it's just a puzzle. Same with Largos spit, it's not a joke or witty, it's a piece of a puzzle. And Phatt island is Phatt island, who cares

>It should be the last game.
Why?
The soap opera between Guybrush, Elaine, and LeChuck is something which could have a few more games.
>And why just 3 and not 4 and 5?
Well 4 and 5 didn't have as many good ideas, and are nowhere near as popular.
The only part of those games which I could imagine wanting to use would be like the pirate hunter Morgan Leflay. Who is a good idea for a character.
>It'll be interesting to see his take on 3 4 and 5
yea

A shame nothing will ever capture Curse's soulful style.

Feels like they're gonna make Murray be Guybrush's Max now.

>Phat Island
kek

>It's not even a joke for the most part,
'Gag'

Spit isn't inherent of a gag you pansy

Reminder an Australian was able to conquer every pirate and Lechuck.

You mean Duke Grabowski isn't good???

what the fuck is that

How have I not heard of this

Forget it. I don't need this game anyway

a game made by the Curse of Monkey Island background artist

Not yet, but yeah, since they didn't give a season window upfront, assume it's towards the end of the year.

The art style is so, so, so bad, bros
How can it be so bad? I want a new MI more than anything but this is like a globohomo advert

it's literally just licensing
disney saying "we are collecting money for this"

am I the only person who thinks this trailer is soulless as fuck?
I absolutely despise segmented digital vector puppet animation. Looks like a crappy flash game.

>Looks like a crappy flash game.
What's more concerning is how little effort they put into the announcement trailer
If this is what they care to put out for first impressions, then I'm afraid the final product will be even worse. They literally had a single scene to create and this is what we got?

tfw you will never work at Skywalker Ranch (picrel) working for comfy LucasArts in the late 80's early 90's making anything your heart desired, creating as the gods

What were you expecting honestly? Everyone who has ever played the original Monkey Island games is a boomer now and they don't have Lucasfilms' budget anymore. It's either this or Telltale's horrific looking engine.

>The art style is so, so, so bad, bros
yeah it's gag worthy.
Curse of Monkey Island was visually the pinnacle of 2D point and clicks. It's sad to see things regress so badly. Honestly, I don't think the talent is even out there anymore. Every artist in the game industry has been bred to make art for Riot or Blizzard, not kino like Monkey Island.

>Telltale's horrific looking engine.
touché

>It's either this or Telltale's horrific looking engine.
A proper celshading of Curse's art style would be amazing

Ron Gilbert has 100% creative control, one of his unmoveable conditions.
If it has that artstyle it's because he wanted it and doesn't care about what you think about it.

>Curse of Monkey Island was visually the pinnacle of 2D point and clicks
lmao no, the pixel art looks better
Grim Fandangos early 3D is also more endearing and charming
Day of Tentacle is also better than all of em
Even Broken age is pretty good

stopped reading

I like that Lucas just decided to open a game studio and let the people he hired do whatever they want. The people who hated him after the Prequels were retards. He was cool as fuck.
