Whether it be videogame, novel, movie, tv show, comic book, or even a Tex Murphy anime, entitled Mystery Super Cool Super Detective 6, I sure hope so.
I'll buy it! I swear!
But, however, if you're talking videogame only, which knowing you as I think I do, is what you meant, the answer is still yes.
I think it's possible. What I think needs to happen, honestly is the following.
Aaron needs to have success with some other game projects he's put on, and make money with them. I'm not sure of his role in the company, but if he's working on assigned projects, he might get a little bit of creative control if something he works on blows up real big for Indie. I want that to happen for him anyway, but even if he does get creative contol to produce a Tex game, I suggest he be very, very careful. If you don't do it for a broad audience(I.E. more than just the little under 200 people here), you could really be getting yourself into trouble career wise. I love the Tex universe, and I love it with a passion. But if he doesn't think he can do it, and make a profit off of it, I wouldn't want to be the idiotic moron who screams and screams for another game that simply tanks because the audience for it doesn't exsist anymore. I think that would be highly selfish.
Not to say I don't want a new game. I just want to make sure that, if made, it will make money. It needs to make money, or we'll never see another one after it, because then it will definitly not be monetairly justifiable to ever make one again, and that time it might be permanent.
I don't know, this a bit long winded, and may make as much sense as two and a half pennies, but I felt like saying that. I care for the universe too much for the next game, if there were to be one, to tank. I mean, honestly, people, we may have to stomach a third person view, adventure type game, with CGI graphics ala Broken Sword, with the conversations being interogations, and the box pushing replaced with investigating, and searching, and "Tex Like" puzzles. And if it means the perpetuation of the series, I'm all for it. I'll have to bite my pride, and play what can still be a great game. I just can't see FMV being an option outside of a powerball lottery winning day for me, and no, I didn't win the big one. I played, and didn't even get one number. Blast it.
There is always next week.

He was more saying you'd probably be dissapointed if a book/audio/movie/tv/comic came out and not/never a game at all. And it's not really a criticsm so don't worry about it, because I assume we all would prefer a game, he was just trying to judge the main aim of your thread so as to give a better response (will provide my own opinions later, sorry, gonna be late if I don't dash!

Anything is possible, Sam and Max last game was in 1993 and this is now their 3rd attempt at a sequal.
However If I was a betting man and I put aside my wants and just looked at the situation from a normal perspective I would say the odds of a new game are at about 15% maybe more maybe less. That doesnt mean I am a terrible guy I just see the writing on the wall. Lots of times we hear news about this and that and we take heart. (which isnt a bad thing) The problem is that with many factors that have been discussed in detail before its just in my thinking unlikely.
Now if Aaron can pull it off will I be pre-ordering and waiting in line. Heck ya
