Telltale Games

Probably a new version of Telltale Texas Hold'em Poker with characters from Sam & Max, HomestarRunner.com, Penny Arcade & Team Fortress 2... Could be nice :)

The shadows are a lie. It's Tales of Monkey Island Season 2.

Chill down guys, it's the new tarot cards for the woodo lady. ToMI2 announced.

i have commented, but my comment has disapiered, it was a little bigger than this one, im exaited, a crossover game will be awsome, and telltale has history on card games, i wish sam was on that triller too, xD, o come on, hadnt finearts teach us that pocker games and dogs look cool together xD, plus hes detective look , and i cant imagine max with out hem on a game...ok...sam is my favorite telltale character, and i would be exaited to see hem on a crossover game...but thats just me , i can understand that [quote]it's the new tarot cards for the woodo lady. ToMI2 announced[quote] but on defenitive that would made me feel more exaitd 8w8 , and yes, what is going on with all that hostility, is like telltale had made you guys somthing bad by creating a game, how intense we fans can be, if you dont like a poker game just dont play it, dont take it so personal, jesus.D8

Hoped that was Guybrush.

But:
Tycho from Penny Arcade Adventures, Max from Sam and Max, the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 and Strong Bad from Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. That's in order from left to right, in case you're really unfamiliar with the aforementioned games.

I have no idea why people think a point and click crossover would be good. A not at all serious, stand-alone gathering like Texas Hold 'Em 2: Now We Have Licensed Characters Edition would(also read as: will) work far better, because if you do a point-and-click adventure you end up writing really bad fanfiction and having to do an actual story that explains how these characters meet(and it never works well). It would suck gigantic balls.

By the way, it still could be Tales of Monkey Island 2, shadows are liars, as you can see in this webcomic.

WHIIIIIIIIIIIINE


A crossover point and click would own.
Can't wait for it.

I hate crossovers. ;)

My first thought upon seeing this was: Woohoo! Strong Bad is coming back to us! My second thought was: Woohoo! A crossover game!

Whatever this turns out to be, it sure looks interesting. :D

penny arcade advetures season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks. The announcement comes out on the EXACT SAME DAY that I start school.

I love crossovers! I can't wait to see this game!

don't think it monkey island season 2. As telltale have got the rights to back to the future and JP now. Can't see em fitting in tales season 2 as well lol.

I COMPLETLY agree. it would be an awsome beat em up. but it's going to be texas hold em 2

I love the idea of a poker crossover game. I agree with the person who said it wouldn't really make a good adventure game. It would be like back in the 80s when they would have those "Don't do drugs" crossover cartoons with all the different characters in them. Sure, it was fun to watch but as a story it sucked. It's just a gimmick.

But for a card game, it's a great gimmick. It's like Celebrity Poker for adventure gamers. I just hope the game's characters are more interactive than the ones in the original Texas Hold'Em. I want to see these characters really interact and talk to each other, instead of just tossing canned one liners at each other every few seconds.

I also hope they don't stop with just these four. Give us more! I know the legalities are probably messy, but getting Guybrush in there would be awesome! I'd even get a kick out of having Gromit as a player constantly rolling his eyes at everyone else. And bring in some of the great secondary characters - Bosco, Strongsad, Stan, Superball, Major Crum, Murray(!). And of course, Leonard Steakcharmer. ...and I know the horse is dead but I just have to say that seeing Phoney Bone in a poker game would have been epic.

Hmm ... it's neither more Monkey Island, nor more Wallace and Gromit. I'll just wait here for the next release instead. :)

A few months ago Dan Connors mentioned about using the Telltale tool to do a Phoenix Wright style lawyer game.

They've already done slight merging of games--like the Scoggins Erasers billboard in The Penal Zone.

I was just looking at that too, the only mention I see of you guys on the pax site is the make a scene which is always fun and is one of my favorite parts of PAX. With nothing new that I know of, it make you wonder what the make a scene is going to be...

The Chaps have also apparently been working on a movie for The Jim Henson Company. I do hope they get back to updating soon. But on the bright side, at least we know something new with Strong Bad is on the way.

One more day until we learn more!

It's September 2nd! Do you know where your PAX booth is?

cmon!!!

PAX doesn't start for another 19 hours.

Anything they post today will just be a teaser.
