Telltale Games

You guys just made my day.

Played the demo 10 minutes ago, just great - and the best is, it's also subtitled in German!
Don't know any adventure games better than yours, keep up the good work!

Um, how did your website NOT get the exclusive 1st release?
Awesome game guys, keep it up!

Can I join what must be a large group of people calling for the third season of Sam and Max? If these other two games, Sin Bad and W&G, are holding that back, please put them on hold!! I was promised a third season in early 2009, dammit!

Since I already did order the whole thingy, and don't wanna spoil the fun, I guess I gotta drum my fingers on the table until 24th of March *tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*tap*

Wow. Just tried the demo and I'm amazed. The game runs smoothly on my aging system with most if not all the bells and whistles. The graphics are cinematic quality - the best to ever grace my computer. The music , too.

My only niggle is that the new PC control system takes some getting used to, but it's much better than the system LucasArts used for Monkey Island 4 and Grim Fandango.

Pre-ordering now... :)

The demo was pretty fun, the only problem is that it makes me want a Wii version even more.

@Guy in a Box - "R" also opens the inventory, which is fairly left-hand accessible. Maybe that will work for you?

@Lena_P just write in to support@telltalegames.com and someone will convert them to gifts for you.

Crap! This is what I get for oversleeping! *RUSH*

Forget one thing: music is, as the usual case of TT, superb: I especially like the way it takes a faux-military turn when you talk to Major Crumb (sp?)

Yeah, the background music was an issue for me too, other than that an awesome demo :D Good work guys.

WHAAAA-HOOOOOOOOO!! Telltale, you just made my day with this awesome surprise attack!! :D

I received the newsletter today so I didn't read the previous blogpost yet! Awesome surprise.

I agree with barchetta that the music is on the loud side of the spectrum and that it has the tendancy to drown the speech. Adjusting the individual soundsettings may improve this.
Also it is noticable that Wallace's secondary voiceactor does the dialogs, but I have to admit that he does his job more than admirably.

Otherwise I can only say that Telltale manages to maintain thier high standards up until now and that look very much forward to the full episodes.

Great, except that the game runs at 100% CPU on my computer, which I think is the reason that the mouse was very unresponsive. Sometimes I had to click more than 10 times before anything happened. Did anyone else experience the same problem? Does it run at 100% CPU on all computers or is it just mine that is too old and slow?

"You can choose which language you want to install when running the installer (you can install the English, French, Italian, German or Spanish version)."

May I ask why the language selection isn't available inside the game instead, like using seperate language subtitle files inside a special ttarch or something like that?
Not that I mind much; I usually have subs off unless I can't hear what they're saying very well.

@Jerkster: try running the game at a lower graphics quality/resolution. You should find your mouse much more responsive.

Yes! It's finally here, and the demo was fabulous - if beit very much on the easy side.

Only problems, like pointed out before are, why change the mouse control to the akward keyboard gestures?
The music was mixed too loud in comparison to the other FSX.

Other than that, it will work out fine I'm sure. Running smoothly on my few year-old machine (the lip synch would be off many times, but I'm not sure there is meant to be precise mouth movement synching anyway

To me this is the biggest thing since Sam & Max Season Two. I can't believe that it's finally happening.

Thanks TT. You've earned your 26 bucks.

It's a shame that the lighting is quite poor compared to previous telltale games. It does not stand up well against the moody, colourful cinematography of the shorts and feature.

I had hoped your work on the CSI games would help (who knew the telltale tool had shadows); but it just looks like you took a single white light and flooded the entire scene with it.

"British characters are not funny."

Boy are you wrong on that one. Must be your sense of humor that doesn't allow much of it. :)

I understand perfectly why they picked this series up, it's quality work and quality humor. I don't think it's overrated either, most people like the things they like because they actually like them.

Just don't know find the characters of Wallace and Grommit appealing.

Neat!
Since I don't have access to my main PC right now, I've installed the demo on my old machine (Athlon XP 2600+, Radeon 9600, 2GB RAM, WinXP, updated DirectX, Catalyst 9.2). Unfortunately, the mouse cursor has an extreme lag and the program crashes completely the moment I attempt to set the graphics quality below 4. The game looks nice though, gonna try it again on my faster computer.

Also love the built-in multi-language support, but is there a way to switch languages after the install? I installed the game in German, so I have German subtitles and graphics, but I'd prefer plain English. Is this possible without reinstall?

I couldn't get it to run in 1024x600 resolution on my netbook (mini laptop).

It does run in 1024x768 and if I scroll down a bit, it's just fine.

But although it shows 800x600, 1024x600 and 1024x768, clicking on it or using the cursor keys, highlighting it in backets and pressing the spacebar doesn't do anything. (mouse pointer or cursor keys/spacebar do work in selecting full screen or quality so it's not that the controls don't work).

Can someone tell me if the german subtitle will be available through the whole game and all episodes?? Or have I to wait for german release in approx 100 years (like at Sam & Max) ??

We hope so, but it's out of our hands at the moment. If it doesn't get resolved until after the 23rd, just contact support@telltalegames.com after placing your order and explain that you tried to pay with PayPal during the preorder, and we'll match the price and get you the free games.

Well, I pre ordered it and got the 2 free games! :D But I have already played the free games, so how can I give them to someone else?

The guys on WallaceandGromit.com are starting to riot: http://www.wallaceandgromit.com/forum/read/26772/1 ... ;)

I think you could give them the downloaded file plus the serial number?

-please let us change the music sound level independently, its far too loud
I have to second this. Actually, it's a problem I've had with all of the Telltale games so far - the default music volume is far too loud.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
