What would you like in the next Monkey Island?


I would like

* the same script/comic writers
* bring back the 2-d cartoony feel which made the atmosphere so charismatic

id like the image of monkey 3 - as you do jerry - and all the old favourites back. i would also like to see the barbershop trio again, and perhaps revisit blood islands goodsoup hotel - i think that is one of the best parts of the series. we need regulars stan, voodoo lady, lechuck and what about largo?

i think in MI5 would like so revisit old locations - Blood, Scabb, Phatt, Melee, and Booty in particular.

Murray as a main character, he leads some group and they find a LeChuck's statue on monkey island. Perhaps a brief appearance from Ozzy's ghost. I think we need to go back to previous locations as well. Perhaps have more time travelling, a story where he travels to the past and helps a pirate battle a long dead pirate and his first mate, a young LeChuck, lots of jokes there.

Who are you?

Sons of Mexico, sir

the third game was class. DON'T HAVE MONKEY ISLAND 5 IN 3D!! i'm sorry but for me, that and the story ruined the game. i hope they can get some of the original writers and creators on this game again to make it what it once was. emi just plain sucked.

They definitely need to bring back the same cast, I don't care how they do it, I will personally shoot them if they don't.

they could have a joke about the previous one being in 3-d, for example:

'examine voodoo glasses(3-d glasses)'

'They're those glasses that make everything seem to jump out at you'

'pick up voodoo glasses'

'Nah, last time everything was in 3-d i had to fight a giant lechuck robot'

WWDD? What would Deckzone Do?

Same actors would be great

A visit to BLOOD ISLAND, my favourite part of the game

Another section like the insult sword fighting but something a bit different

2D!!! MI4 wasn't very good imo...Guybrush just didnt seem to be the same character the "cartoony" look is what makes this game one of my favourites

Murray

guybrush with beard and not looking like a punk....more like in #2

3D would be awesome if done right. It's the writing that made this series great. They should not keep revisiting all the old characters and have more new characters....rerunning the jokes got old by #4. New Islands....new characters...same humor....Guybrush looking tough but everyone ripping on him....random crazy stuff....more adult humor...damn the kiddies. that's about it.

reply

Ooh I like the old characters - what I found great was the way they would keep cropping up in new places - like Stan for example - he was always up to some other scam.

I would love to see the Barbershop quartet again, and the men of low moral fiber - I always thought they were really underused in all the games.

And cabana boy was hilarious.

reply

Yes definitely need the cartoony design back.

For some reason I always imagined that in MI5 Guybrush and LeChuck would have to reluctantly work together to defeat some other foe.
It could set up a lot of jokes referencing the previous games and their face offs.

..also Murray should definitely be involved somehow.

reply

i would like to see the next Monkey Island as a first-person shooter, with stunning 3D graphics, where you kill evil undead pirates. :-p

No. im just kidding of course.

A New Monkey Island with the kind of humour the 3 first ones had, and the graphic quality of the 3rd one, would be the best ( but thats difficult, if not impossible, to happen.... :-( ... )

reply

I would actually love monkey island 5 to use the graphics and interface of the first 2 games sure there dated but monkey island isnt about flashy 3-d effects as 4 proved (simon the sorceror 3-d was another wrong move going away from what that should of been). As long as the script is funny and it has Guybrush and the rest of our fav. characters I would love it, and the old style would feel really nostagic.

other things i would like to see:

LeChuck being no1's lacky he needs to be back big bad and in charge and more evil.

Murray needs a larger part than a bouncer that we cant even pick up : (

LARGO : ) Bring him back!

A darker setting

all the recurring characters

Mabey even finding out the secret of monkey island
