Monkey Island 25 year - Gilbert wanting to complete his trilogy

A good read about Monkey Island: http://grumpygamer.com/monkey25 .

Teaser:

I don’t know if I will ever get to make another Monkey Island. I always envisioned the game as a trilogy and I really hope I do, but I don’t know if it will ever happen. Monkey Island is now owned by Disney and they haven’t shown any desire to sell me the IP. I don’t know if I could make Monkey Island 3a without complete control over what I was making and the only way to do that is to own it. Disney: Call me.

I prefer both and because new ip from Gilbert is already secured with Thimbleweed Park, I would say big YES for making MI3a if it is ever possible! Nothing is over and hope dies last Smile

Monkey Island has 4 games, and one “episodic” series. There’s no the “original trilogy”. Monkey Island 1/2 isn’t all about Ron Gilbert, no matter how I admire the guy. It was also Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman… it was Steve Purcell’s art, Michael Land’s music… it was LUCAS ARTS! And Lucas Arts made the “third game” (and what a game that is!)

     

Recently finished: Four Last Things 4/5, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout 5/5, Chains of Satinav 3,95/5, A Vampyre Story 88, Sam Peters 3/5, Broken Sword 1 4,5/5, Broken Sword 2 4,3/5, Broken Sword 3 85, Broken Sword 5 81, Gray Matter 4/5\nCurrently playing: Broken Sword 4, Keepsake (Let\‘s Play), Callahan\‘s Crosstime Saloon (post-Community Playthrough)\nLooking forward to: A Playwright’s Tale

Monkey Island has 25 years already?...

Has much as I think you shouldn’t dismiss the other 3 Monkey Island games I would be interested in seeing the direction Ron would take after the ridiculous Monkey island 2 ending. And of course that would also mean a new MI, so I would be all over it.

But Disney giving up complete control over an IP they own…........... not going to happen

So would I.
I’d like to know where he was going with that mess at the end of MI2.
We never found out.
MI3 just sort of skipped over it withough any real explanation.

Of course Disney won’t be any help.
They pulled the Special editions of Monkey Island 1 and 2 from the iPad shop without explanation.

I agree.
It would be nice to see a new Mi game, and it would also be nice to see if Ron Gilbert could somehow follow up on that non sequitur ending of MI 2 and make it make sense, but there isn’t any missing part of a trilogy that I’m waiting for.

Seeing as how I consider The Curse of Monkey Island the best adventure game of all time, I’m not waiting for Monkey Island 3a either. I’d rather he just told us what the idea behind that messed up Gainax Ending of MI2 was…

There is no idea. They kept putting off the ending and then ran out of time and threw something together. He talks about it in a recent Retronauts podcast.

His attitude towards adventure gaming irritates me, he totally embodies that super conservative “nothing should have changed in the genre after 1991, including graphics” mindset.

I mean, I would play it… and Disney is doing nothing with the IP.

License it out, Diz.

I’d just start making it anyway if I were him. He created Monkey Island. Disney suing him for stealing “their” IP would be a PR disaster.

If only there were Ron fans at Sony like Tim ones.
Ron should hang around more like Tim.

I dont know if Sony efforts to bring back GF and Dott remakes done any favors to their business.

But, Monkeyisland could be better bet.

First prove it with Thinbleweed park.
