Time to start naming the dream team for Poker Night 3.

As the title says start racking off characters you think should be in the next Poker Night.

There is one character above all else that would stagger me in awe if Telltale were to get:

James Bond.

Who better in a poker tournament than the guy who took down a terrorist with baccarat. Activision has the Bond license, right? Yeah, they probably wouldn't allow it. Shame, I bet EA would if they still had the license.

Steven Heck from Alpha Protocol would be FUCKING AMAZING in a future Poker Night game, aside from the part where it would be terrible cross-promotion because that series is dead.

Your avatar reminds me: I'd like to see Scott Pilgrim in PN3. I know BLOM shot down the idea of Telltale doing a Scott Pilgrim game, but that could be a nice compromise.

Wallace (of Wallace & Gromit) would be interesting, if they still hold that license. Don't think Aardman would allow him in an M-rated game, though.

Francis (or maybe Ellis) from L4D, for the Valve cameo du jour.

And, of course, the necessary Sam & Max character: Bosco.

I do think a third game would need more than four characters, though. That way you can pick and mix your opponents, working as a difficulty selection as well as a sequel-worthy boost in content, as all characters would have unique interactions with all other characters. Nothing crazy, even just six would do.

Duh, the Timetrotters.

Go full Japanese:

• Juliet Starling with Nick's head
• Big Bo
• Solid Snake
• Bayonetta
• Johnson deals

Also HK-47, if you can somehow get the original BioWare writer to vet all the lines, because KotOR had really solid character writing.

Big Bo from Binary Domain, anyone (Juggernaut) from Dota 2, Dante from DmC and that guy from XCOM Enemy Unknown that says "We will be watching commander" or the German doctor

@starvinggamer: Oh god Juliet would be great but only if she still had Nick as she is only really funny when she plays off Nick.

Oh man! He would be the perfect dealer.

@demoskinos: Yes. Sitting on the table.

@starvinggamer: Better, he's what Juliet bets on the item rounds.

Give the Star Trek license to Telltale, Poker Night on the Enterprise-D.

The second best Jonathan Frakes poker game.

@blackout62: That too

@blackout62: Didn't Activision lose the Bond license this year? They took all of them off of Steam at some point, I think that's what that means.

As long as we're throwing out dream characters, I'd love for them to get Jack Black to come in and do Eddie Riggs again. I figure they'll never do another Brutal Legend, so it would be nice to see the character come back.

@pudge: Checked Wikipedia, they don't have it any more. Time for Telltale to put that Walking Dead money to the best use.

Ok here's my line up:

• Igor deals, that dude knows his cards.
• Vaas Motenegro
• Cain
• Sully
• Wrex

How about a dinosaur from Jurassic Park: The Game as the dealer?

Brucie needs to be in one of these shits

Jeff goldblum

Gabe Newell, Jeff Gerstmann, Peter Molyneux and Swery69

Jim Sterling, Yahtzee, Ashens and Guru Larru

Let me try this.

• Marty McFly
• Guybrush Threepwood
• Booker DeWitt
• Space Ghost

And just to create controversy, Tiny Tina is the dealer.

Hmm, good question.

• Pyro (the conversations are kinda dependant on the responses from the other players)
• Sonic
• Wilson
• Bosco (and everytime you play a new game he's in a new disguise!)

I would like to see it have a lot more characters though if a 3rd game was ever to be made.
Just get the rights to use a bunch characters and have them be randomzied instead of this 4 character BS

People already complain about the dialogue repeating too much. I can only imagine how much of an issue that would become if there were even more characters per game.

• Bigby Wolf
• Ellis (L4D2)
• Lilith (Borderlands)
• Thomas (Thomas Was Alone)

Andrew Ryan

San Andreas's The Truth

Tychus Findlay

Dr. Caligosto Loboto

I just want Kanji from Persona 4 telling people to get bent every time he loses a hand.

• Solid Snake
• Booker DeWitt
• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Ryan Davis

Look how many demographics this targets.

If they were doing it right they would record more conversations and there would also have to be way more conversations due to the amount of characters in the game.
It's not all black and white, think outside the box! Go nuts with it.
Telltale have a good idea of how dialogue works at least, they could do it. Now they just kinda need to get the Gameplay part down as well and it could be good!

• Kenny
  
• Asura
• Garrus
• 50 Cent (you can even win his skull as a TF2 item!)

• Kanji
• Wrex
• Guybrush Threepwood
• Big Boss

Scorpion, Vaas, Nathan Explosion, and legendary film director Francis Ford Coppola.

• Sterling Archer
• Coach McGuirk
• Christ Metzen
• Bastion Narrator

Solaire of Astora

Oh, the interaction that could be had between these characters. This was the favorite platform-neutral lineup (ie no Master Chief or Nathan Drake) I came up with:

*Space Ghost

*Zimos (Saint's Row 3 auto-tuned pimp)

*Sonic the Hedgehog

*Shao Kahn (only if he has the Steve Ritchie MK2-era voice, though)

I thought GLaDOS as dealer worked well, so bring that back.

One character I'd like to see show up would be Captain Martin Walker (in full on PTSD mode).

Actually I would kind of like if it was possible to do a version of this for a whole bunch of franchises. How about Mass Effect, poker night on the bridge? Or Bioshock, you don't want to play poker against Andrew Ryan, the Luttece's, Booker, and Songbird? Or Grand Theft Auto? Fuck it let's have a Saint's Row one, and have chess involved too! I like poker and I like excuses to listen to funny dialogue. Let's do this!

Bill (L4D)
The Milkman (Psychonauts)
Garrus, Tali, Mordin, Wrex... Pretty much any of the cool characters from Mass Effect (Mass Effect)
Kenny (The Walking Dead)

I agree with the idea that the guy who says "Commander" in XCOM should be the dealer.

Vinny

: )

• Frank West
• Damon Baird
• Max Payne
• Victor Sullivan
• Resident Evil 4 Merchant as the dealer.

All the snark, all the sleaze! Such a cast including both Sully and Baird would never happen of course, but as a video game dream team poker line up that's what I got.

Someone really needs to make a GB Multimedia Celebrity Poker game.

That guy who made the fantastic Giant Bomb fighting game really oughta get on that!

I'm all for Bosco being in the next game. Same with the nominations for Marty McFly. The guy who voiced him in the Telltale games did a great job.

HK-47
Aquaman
Wrex
Randy Marsh (seriously, we don't have a wiki page for him?????)
Bosco as dealer

I hope you mean brave and the bold aquaman because if you do i couldn't agree more

@darkstalker: RIP Platelet. You shall be missed.

• Garrus
• G-Man
• Booker and Elizabeth (she can throw him poker chips)
• Grayson Hunt

and as the dealer: Shodan

Someone from Double Fine, particularly any character created by Ron Gilbert and/or Tim Schafer.

Many of the TTG staff is ex-LucasArts, and a re-uniting of the staff is just what we need in the wake of its loss.

• Clementine
• Sterling Archer
• Plato
• The Spy

Combining random, nonsensical character choices with the opportunity for Archer to talk trash about the cave analogy and bad spy players in TF2. Or something.

I like the direction this is going in. Leon Kennedy. Solid Snake. Bayonetta. Francis York Morgan. Aigis can deal.

Master Chef. Max Scoville. Zombie from SR3.
