Hyena Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Lucas promises a new Monkey Island in some different gags of MI4. Guybrush, and VoodoLady too have said that there will be a new game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$crooge Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I think that it's the only graphic adventure that Lucasarts can think to do in this moment. I think that there wasn't market for Sam & Max, the only graphic adventure that can sell is a new MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toenail1 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I think that there wasn't market for Sam & Max   theres more of a market for sam and max then MI, remember sam and amx would also get comic fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Actually, the whole point of them cancelling Sam & Max was because there was no market for adventure games, so Monkey Island 5 will be the last thing on their agenda. Â No doubt production will start on MI5 in the future (and I'm guessing the very late future) btu whether it finishes or not is a different story.

joesdomain Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I hope to get a chance to buy a copy of a 5th Monkey Island game. I can't find any new copies of Escape to Monkey Island on Playstation 2. I hope they come out with a PLaystation 2 version if they make a 5th Monkey Island video game. Then again they will probably jsut cancel it like Full Throttle 2 and Sam and Max 2.

AlexG Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 If they're not gonna make a new MI game, i wish they sold the publishing rights... Maybe someone by the name of ron gilbert would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapanga Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I hope there will be a 5th game. I want it to be animated like CMI because the 3D EMI was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoLuigi... Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 i personally doubt there will even be an mi5. lucasarts probably forgot about it...and it's lying in some dusty corner of a dark, cold, damp, musty room somewhere. Â but let's hope not. Â Lucas promises a new Monkey Island in some different gags of MI4. Guybrush, and VoodoLady too have said that there will be a new game! Â and this has been brought up time and time again, people have said that just b/c the voodoo lady says she has a 5-game contract doesn't mean there'll definitely be a fifth one. i used to disagree with those people, but now i agree. sadly, it was either said because: Â they were planning to do an mi5, but for whatever reasons they still haven't gotten around to it yet, and they may not for a while; Â or, it's just something for us to cling to in hopes that there'll be an mi5. Â hopefully, it's the first one, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes o' pot Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 i wudnt get my hopes up on MI5,im sure they'll make it.no doubt.it's a healty brand name with more fans than sam+max.personally i think monkey island needs an injection of Mr.Gilbert,also british accents would be much funnier.Actually they should remake the 2nd game and give it a proper ending....then id be happy.........long live grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 You know the spacebar, you're meant to hit it after every , and . It's called grammar.  Now, lets get back to what you said, firstly, Monkey Island is a computer game, it has about as many fans as a computer game gets. Sam and Max on the other hand is a compuer game, comic strip and TV series. I'm guessing Sam and Max has more fans. According to LA, this isn't the best time to be releasing a graphics adventure game so they probably won't tart on another one like MI5.  Secondly, Elaines voice in English would be good, but I'm just too used to Dominic Armato as Guybrush  Thirdly, the MI2 ending was fine, in fact it was great, I loved it. It's best left alone.  And fourthly, I doubt at all that Ron would be involved in MI5, not unless he came back to LA, and I doubt he would considering he's got his own company now.

Joshi Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Originally posted by Skinkie And he would never make MI5, he'd make MI3 his way. Â he only said in an interview that he'd like to. But seriously, if he didn't have a job and they came to him and asked him to make MI5 for them, do you think he'd turn it down. Although he could cleverly say at the beginning of MI5 something along the lines of "Nah! it was all a dream from when guybrush fell down that hole at the end of MI2. here's what really happened!" and then we'd play the game from guybrush waking up in a hole with the Big Whoop Treasure in his hands.

smokes o' pot Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 just for that im never going to leave a space after, (except here)lighten up there is no need to be so bitchy mate. The reason I think the end of the 2nd game was poor because the team making the 3rd game had to come up with a totally ridiculous begining to their game(my opinion).if they just left it at 2 games then it's a fabulous ending,very funny! I know Ron would never come back(it's just what i think the series needs) and yes he should make HIS 3rd episode to the series.I think the english accent for guybrush(and a few other characters)with most other characters having american accents with be very funny.Sadly this is all just talk because with broken sword(the best adventure game since grim) selling so poorly it will be a while befor we see MI5. Personally IN GAMING I think monkey island fans outway sam+max fans.I can only speak for where I come from,,,,,,,,,,Ireland.plus if you search the web for monkey island you'll get thousands of more results than sam+max.I do anyway. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 *off topic* Â Originally posted by smokes o' pot just for that im never going to leave a space after, (except here)lighten up there is no need to be so bitchy mate. Â The only reason I'm "bitchin" mate, is because there is really no good reason why even the simplest of writing can't have a space in the right places. We have people from all around the world here remember, some of them can't speak or type or read very well in English so when they come to these boards they find it a little difficult... Â ...and they still manage a space in all the right places. Â I'm not bugging you about absolutely correct grammar and spelling, just be considerate for other people please, it's not too hard. and Now I apologise in adanced for "bitchin" about it and promise to let it drop now that i've said what i've had to say. Â *On topic* Â Now I respect the fact that in your opinion you didn't like the ending of MI2, yes, it did cause the maketrs of MI3 to try and create a good intro to the game, but personally, I think they dodged that bullet nicely leaving it out there as to how he got out of the carnival. Of course I was annoyed a bit that we never found out, who wouldn't be? Â And I agree that with Broken swrod doing so badly in sales (at least revolution released it, take a leaf out of there book LA! Bloody good game though) and the fact that LA think adventure game won't sell, they probably won't make it. saying that i'm looking forward to such upcoming adventure games as The Longest Journey 2 (what's that called again) and syberia 2. Â And yes, in gaming, monkey island is more popular, i'm not too sure about the website thing though, just because it has more fansites, does that mean it has more fans, or just more fans with too much time on their hands?

Joshi Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Ah, but how did he get out of his spell. Do you think that maybe the spell only works if guybrush is nearb monkey island (which is why lechuck was able to do it again at the end of CMI? Â seems reasonable.

smokes o' pot Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Fair enough. I'm a slow typer by the way so I take shortcuts. Also is it just me or is Le Chuck a French name?, I've always wondered. I'm quite looking forward to Beneath a Steel Sky 2. Also there is a great opening in the market for a small time developer to make adventure games. They wouldn't need good graphics just good writers. I can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 There are enough crappy fan games being made at the mo, I guess if someone came up with a half decent story it could work. Â You know what, I just had an apiffany (sp?) If ron told us what he thought his version of MI3 could be like, we could create a spoof version of it. I mean it would basically be us using sprites that resembled the characters and names that sounded like Guybrush and Monkey island. Now of course we would never say that it is meant to be a Monkey island game, we would say it's an original game that bears a slight resemblence to Monkey island. Then we'd put it on the internet for free and everyone would finally get Ron's story. Â Of course LA would find out, but as long as no one says it's meant to be a monkey island game in disguise, they legally can't do anything. Â Of course that's just a theory and any minute now someone will come along and tell me why I'm wrong (by the way, if this were to pass, I wouldn't be the one doing it, i'd just be the...you know... guy who started it all ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes o' pot Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 A good idea, all we need now is Ron, a baseball bat to beat it out of him, and 10 minutes of his time. You could actually get away with it. As long as you avoided all registered trademarks. They probly feckin' registered monkeys as their trademark.......then you would be screwed.

But skipping tradmarks is easy, people do it all the time when spoofing something. We could call the main character Giythrush Creepwoof, and we could call it "The Closely Guarded Tale, That Not Too Many People Know About, of and Island Inhabited by Small Primates of some sort", it's long, but it'll work.
