jrrtoken Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Rejoice my brothers, LucasArts has not forsaken us! SAN FRANCISCO, Calif– June 1, 2009– LucasArts today announced that the original hilarious pirate adventure is back, with two new projects underway based on the classic Monkey Island franchise. Beginning in just a few short weeks, Telltale will premiere the Tales of Monkey Island™ game series, delivering a completely new epic storyline and swashbuckling flair that will unfold across five monthly episodes on PC and WiiWare™. The Monkey Island celebration continues later in the summer when LucasArts publishes The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition, a completely re-imagined version of the first game in the series that adds updated high definition graphics, a re-mastered musical score, and full voiceover to the classic adventure game originally launched in 1990. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be made available on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC. http://www.mcvuk.com/press-releases/47865/Tales-of-Monkey-Island http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland http://www.lucasarts.com/games/monkeyisland/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 but telltale games also is going to release tales of monkey island (monkey island 5) and the lonely problem that its 3d >.<, well i hope it will be point & click thoI would expect it to play just the same as Telltale's other 3D adventure games like Sam and Max. This almost makes up for all the wrongs LucasArts has done to us the past few years...But right now I could not be happier with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltiades Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 After this, we'll get another dozen games we don't really want. But hey, what the heck. MI's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldblum Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 If this takes off, then ports of Full Throttle, and MI2, etc. are not out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah, makes me wonder if LucasArts plans on doing this for MI2 as well. It is certainly welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin_Br Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ports? We're talking about a brand new Monkey Island game now. Not the Xbox port of the classic "Secret of Monkey Island" which is also being developed. Confusing times, but good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondbeard Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I registered here 9 years ago during the hype for Monkey Island 4. It's amazing to think it took 9 years for anything new since then. But here it is. I'm psyched. This news has made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Who wants to have an orgy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldblum Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 A theme orgy? Then dibs LeChuck. With a ghost pirate beard full of dildos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'd be Murray, but considering it's an orgy, I know that being only a head is pretty limiting. I'm also very aware that this forum is largely dude-centric. I'm also fully aware that as a mod, these are the types of discussions I should nip in the bud fairly early on, but this is the MI boards and dammit, we like it this way!

Lopiv2 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well, at last we must thank to George that he hear all those fans who wanted a New Monkey Island game (like me)...I´m so impresed and i´m just waiting for the game very very nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldblum Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I was going to mention that this is a man-board. However, craigslist prostitutes are not out of the question. However, we may need body condoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Robot Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I hope this "remake" allow the new generations to enjoy MI the same way we did in the nineties. I'm praying for a Mac version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
