They better keep this a real adventure game and not some lame action game. With the Wiimotes they can even keep it point and click!

No way?! Please don't mess it up. Well, Telltale has done a great job with Sam & Max, so I trust 'em. This is awesome sauce.

According to Giant Bomb, also on 360.

Telltale is more talented than LucasArts these days. Sam & Max > Fracture and The Force Unleashed.

TellTale Games has alot of people who worked at Lucas Arts. So it will most likely be gold.

It's with great pleasure that I received a few minutes ago the announcement of the upcoming periodical release of Tales of Monkey Island, developed by Telltale for Wiiware and PC.

Lucasarts is also working on a HD remake of the first game called The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, for PC and XBLA.

They have a pre order on their website: All 5 episodes for $35. You also get another free game worth $8.

So is the remake of Secret of Monkey island the same game or is it different? I'm watching the video on it and I don't remember some of that stuff happening in the original.

XBLA & PC remake pics!!

What the hell? :/

THATS why you should leave it to Telltale and NOT current day LucasArts.

All the people who worked on the Lucas Arts adventure games have left Lucasarts.

And 3/4 of them have joined Telltale. Some joined Tim Schafer over at Double Fine. And the rest have sort of scattered around the industry...

But Telltale has been scooping up the remaining Lucasarts alumni over the past year or so...

No Tim Shafer? It would be awesome if he could work on the project :(BoloTheGreat

Next,we need a Maniac Mansion remake/sequel.

They used to be. Telltale is the god now. They're the only ones left who even give a flying damn about the adventure genre.

I don't know what to get; this, Wallace & Gromit or the remake of the original. :?

Whoever said point & click games were in short supply? :P

that is amazing news, I would have preferred Tim Schafer and/or Ron Gilbert, but amazing news none the less naval

They are busy. But in the FAQs it did say that Ron Gilbert did come to their office to brainstrom. Also Dave Grossman was one of the people who worked on Monkey Island.

And Tim Schaffer didn't even have a hand in MI3, IIRC, which was unarguably the best in the series.thepwninator

Monkey Island 2 would like to have a quiet chat with you, in a back-alley somwhere. :P

Um...anyway, greatest E3 ever. I have nothing more to add. Already pre-ordered.
