They already did, or am I misunderstanding? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Curse_of_Monkey_Island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Curse_of_Monkey_Island
- Razengan 7y agoWe do not speak of that here. Kidding aside, Curse wasn't too bad, but it wasn't where the original creator(s) intended to go with the story. And now that Disney owns LucasArts, chances of them supporting a franchise that conflicts with their own Pirates of the Caribbean (one of the inspirations for Monkey Island in the first place) are slim indeed. :( How come there haven't even been any other games (that I can recall right now) based on pirates and voodoo and traveling between different islands?
- hprotagonist 7y agoCoMI ranks very highly on my list. The voice acting and score alone are worth it, but despite the change in director it was still in line with the spirit of the thing. I’ve logged countless play-throughs. Monkey island 4, though... i’ve only played that through twice.
- toyg 7y agoI thought the story went that the ride was an inspiration for the game, which was then an inspiration for the movie. I’ve not been on the original ride but some Pirates characters are straight out of the game. I think it would be supercool if Lucasarts made a “Pirates of the Caribbean and the Secret of Monkey Island” game that is essentially a Monkey Island adventure, somehow incorporating Guybrush, Marley etc in the POTC universe and then giving them a cameo in the next movie.

You could always go one worse with Escape [0] or Tales of Monkey Island [1].

- Razengan 7y ago> Escape or Tales of Monkey Island I will not tolerate that talk in my house. Tales did have 1 or 2 good things (I liked the French scientist) but Escape was brand assassination through and through.
- galeos 7y agoCurse was still very good - Murray the demonic talking skull was hilarious and the art and sound design was great.

- pier25 7y agoI loved Curse as much as the others. There I said it.
- mhd 7y agoI think this is a "Highlander 2" kind of thing. Sequels we wish they'd made but the only thing we got were weird things from alternate timelines.
