Kotaku writs: "When news hit that Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer were working together again at the same studio, all thoughts seemed to shift to Monkey Island.
And that makes sense.
After all, the first two games in the Monkey Island series includes the first game the humorous development duo worked on together. It also includes the last. And the only two."
Ron Gilbert says: "If I'm going to do another adventure game, I want it to be a really interesting and unique and different game"
Original Monkey Island creators Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman talk with us about the series' humor and bringing it forward 30 years in an interview from PAX West.
Gary Sheppard of GameGrin writes: "30 years on, we still don’t know what the titular secret that Monkey Island holds actually is. Original co-creator Ron Gilbert suggested in a Reddit AMA back in 2017 that it is “Guybrush is a banana”, but some have suggested that he might not have been being serious. It’s unclear why they think this. Either way, with the game stuck in copyright limbo since Disney’s purchase of everything that wasn’t nailed down, it might be some time before we learn. But after all this time, why do we still care so much?"
I absolutely LOVE Monkey Island games, but please wait I finish MI1:SE, MI2:SE and Tales of MI before releasing the next one.
By the way, I'm selling these fine leather jackets, anyone?
USE ME SONIC!!! USE ME!!!
Playing through The Curse of Monkey Island at the moment, quality game!
Oh please!
It doesn't even need to be a bigbudget game. Just make it a $/€15 XBLA / PSN / Steam title with the graphics from Monkey Island 3. Just give us some new Monkey Island. DO IT!
(not counting the 4th and 5th Monkey Islands for obvious reasons)
brought the second in the series this year. Would love to play the third next year...
