this.

infinitely easier formula found:
get rights to a popular story/franchise
animate story
sprinkle in a few choices

it's a choose your own adventure novel with a movie on it.

that said. first run of walking dead games was damn fine storytelling.

>>382658856
This formula makes them more money than other things could.

CAST HIM IN

>>382659052
It kind of is. But I think often I'd rather Sam and Max stay dead than get this current formula. I dont want the DEEP CHOICE OF MAX LIVES OR DIES that doesn't matter.

well the first 2 are what they did with Sam and Max

>>382657837
Season 3 sucked, though.

>Telltale was formed because LucasArts employees felt the company was spending too much time on licenses instead of their original IPs
>Telltale ends up doing the exact same thing a decade later

>>382656092
This makes me sad and yet I'm not entirely sure modern Telltale could handle making a good, funny season of Sam & Max especially since they'd probably go out of their way to make it as safe and inoffensive as possible.

they are not dead, just sleeping

well max is dead but the another universe max is there to take his place

>Sammun-Mak is handsome
>Sammnu-Mak is cute

Has there been a single point and click adventure series treated worse than Sam & Max?

>>382663140
Most of them.
Sam & Max has been treated pretty dignified. The breaks between them may be long but the games themselves are always good and its not like they end on a cliffhanger that would actually make the wait painful.

It's dead, Jim.

>>382656092
The reason why I give Telltale endless amounts of shit all the time.
>Tfw you got into the series with Season 1 back when it came out.
>Tfw I thought of them as one of my favorite video game companies.
>Tfw they haven't made a proper point n click game since 2011

Monkey Island

>>382664315
yes, but after that the franchise got canned

>>382656092
I'm rather happy the are though.

>Wanting a Sam & Max made by neo "muh cinematic experience" Telltale.

>>382664146
why the fuck should everything be a "franchise"? Deus Ex was great on its own, there's no need for a sequel
