What property should Telltale try next

[Misterian]

What I'd like to see most would be Telltale South Park.

Especially if we'd get to play the New Kid in it, though admittingly any of the Main Boys could work.

With how unpredictable, surreal, and often cruel South Park stories tend to be, it would be interesting to see what impact it can have when someone tries to subvert or even defy certain situations or outcomes you'd typically see in a South Park episode.

For example, what impact do you think you'd make if you consistently do things that prevent Butters from getting harmed or in trouble? what if you manage to somehow force his parents NOT to ground him for something? If you could pull this off, what would the people of South Park make of you? how would it impact Butters if he knew someone was actively trying to prevent him from suffering any misfortune? How would his parents feel about someone trying force them to see error in their parenting and that same someone protecting Butters from their incompetent methods?

Wouldn't something like that be interesting?

How about something with Batman?

Well you're in luck cause their next series is going to be batman

I would like to see a video game adaptation of Fantasy Flight's Android: Netrunner. I would love to see Telltale do a murder mystery tale set in the Android Universe. Kind of mirrors the first board game release then.

This! So much this! I have the board game, haven't played the card game and that could do so well!

They should team up with a huge developer. They bring story and dialogue while the other provides the gameplay and the setpieces. A new adventure in the oldschool style would be neat too. I won't spend any money on another interactive movie (ok maybe TWAU 2 but that's it then).

Well, rumor has it they've just taken on Michael Kirkbride as writer so I guess the very next property they should take on is The Elder Scrolls. Get some Vehk in my Telltale.

They have grown into so many aspects of nerd culture, that it is hard to think of something they didn't make.

I would love them to try the Discworld universe, but since they can't count with the approval or input of the man, maybe it is better if they don't.

Next Generation is a good choice too...

The Discworld universe would be awesome, especially since there hasn't been a Discworld game in decades(and none of them are available anymore, unless GOG.com has plans to release them).

On a previous one of these, someone mentioned Archer and I'd totally go with that. Archer would work quite well for them.

I would love them to try the Discworld universe

Oh dear God holy shit, yes please.

That would b a match made in heaven. Easily the best idea of the thread so far.

Telltale's World of Warcraft would be pretty fun.

Y'know. Like Lord of the Clans. Except not abandoned into the sad lonely void of forgotten ideas.

Telltale Fallout

or

Telltale Mass Effect, except they do the borderlands thing where instead of a hero character its some random person thats on the outskirts of the main plot

Okay, I would totally buy a telltale Mass Effect game. There was so much story going in that universe outside of Commander Shepard, or to use his apache name: Commander Forgets-to-Delegate. I'd also love to see a Warhammer 40k telltale game too.

I would really want to see TellTale's Team Fortress 2: Teufort Story. Valve has done wonderful job with the comics (humor and personality of the mercs), but it would be fun if we could see more of the world and have more interactions between the mercs and the world around them (like interacting with Merasmus without soldier), and damnit I really want to know what sort of business...person Pyro is when the world isn't on fire.

Heavy: Put dispencer here!
*Engineer will remember that.

Another vote for The X-Files.

Honestly, they all seem a bit samey to me and I'm rapidly loosing interest in them as a developer.

I may be wrong though, as I haven't played any of their games lately.

They really need to do something different. The Walking Dead is one of my all-time favorites, but I was already tired of the formula by The Wolf Among Us. Tales from the Borderlands was good despite the formulaic gameplay and plot. I haven't played Game of Thrones or Minecraft: Story Mode yet, but I'll take a wild guess that they won't impress me.
