Telltale Games

With Tycho in the game, how bad's the language going to be?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa wait! That's it? I knew it'd be poker, with the guys, but that's all? Just these four? Come on! Bring on the rest of the gang! We have to have the classic bunch! Granny! Leonard! Sam! Wallace! Bone! Guybrush! Nelson! Heck, just throw in some of your staff for the fun of it (I know you're out there, Grossman)!

Not interested in another poker game...

...maybe when I get a HUUUUGE discount on it.

Yup!!!

Heavy and max in the same room? Oh boy.......... tell heavy not to bring sasha ok telltale?

Yeah, this is prolly going to be a bit dissapointing, and I'm easily ammused. Maybe when I try a demo I'll see but now this seems too small

Are you implying Max is going to try to touch Sasha? I'd hate to be in the same room as the bloodbath that follows that.

Anyway, it looks funny and it's five dollars, so I think I'll be getting this soon. :D

Disappointing. Telltale Texas Hold'em part Deux.
I suppose it's a 5 player table with Tycho, Max, Heavy, Strong Bad and a mysterious character known as "the player"
Having played the original Hold'em, why should I buy this? Just to hear the "new" interactions that will become old after 3 or 4 games?
If only you could mix the table with the old guys, or extend the game with character packs/DLCs/add ons... it could be interesting, but right now it's just the same Hold'em with different characters.

Exactly. This game needs more characters. Wasn't Sybil Pandemik a former Poker Champion?

Important question: will that discount still be around when Back to the Future is available for preorder?

Just preorded. Got some extra stuff, (SOMI:SE, W&G'S Grand Adventures, S&M Season 3 DVD and Poster Print (5) and Surfing The Highway) . I'll give it a go, may be fun to see Max waving a gun at a poker game. Then randomly firing it when he loses...

Damn! I ordered stuff 2 days ago! Should have waited!

The steam version mentions it has Steamplay, so yes, it runs on mac too.

Dissapointing. I already knew it was a poker game, but only these four and that's it? I thought there were gonna be more telltale characters, and I hate Penny Arcade.

And do you expect people to pre-order it when there's absolutely no real info or screenshots? Seriously, I love Telltale's adventure games, but this one looks like it's being made for some easy money.

$5! a telltale game for $5?! i mean even for a poker game that is just way rad.
you guys continue to amaze me.
instead of going to subway tomorrow, I shall buy poker night at the inventory.

Hah, every time... I just ordered a big order YESTERDAY and now there's a deal. I really need to learn restraint.

Boring...

@Enedok

I don't remember where I heard this, but this is supposedly the second game of Telltale's new "pilot program" (the first being Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent). So if it does well enough, who knows? We might see other, more in-depth crossovers in the future.

How well has Puzzle Agent sold, by the way? I'd buy it if the WiiWare release was here already. And I had money.

@Chaosprower

easy money or not, we'll receive a 25% off of our additional purchases, so I don't see how can you lose here...

I love you Telltale!!

I had to notice in store, when you click on the Games tab and scroll down to Poker Night; It says "Poker Night Season 1" Maybe it'll be a series with different card games every episode?

will there be a iPhone release?

to everyone bitchin about the lack of more characters, read this: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/65426

Seems like a perfect vehicle for ongoing DLC upsell, which is why I'm confused about it not being on PSN, XBLA, or iPhone where in-game purchases are well-established.

I don't play games on my PCs, so I'll just be waiting for a console/iPhone version. That being said, it would be great to have branching tutorial dialogue for poker. I'm a big blackjack player, but never got into poker or learned the intricacies of it. Being extremely amused while learning expert poker strategy would be a huge win.

The 16 different possibilities for trash-talking (they can always trash-talk their own bad moves!) are a great plaform for comedy. To that end, it would be great to see Eddie from Brutal Legend and LeChuck from Tales of Monkey Island.

I don't know if it's possible, but it would awesome to see Miss Piggy from the Muppets. First, a female character would be most welcome. Second, that character has such great vocal mannerisms when it comes to anger. frustration, and being quite saccharine. In all, a great character to have in the poker game that can hold her own when it comes to trash-talking when she loses and reveling in her wins.

Hope wii will see his in WiiWare

i hope they work really hard on the dialog and not just have every character have 4 phrases or something.

I will get it just to see Strong Bad, Max and Heavy in the same room. I'll try the demo, but please tell me it will teach me how to poker because I have no idea how to. :(

Maybe in the old days, Dan, but the Wii has some seriously rough titles, even on Wiiware now. When things like Madworld and Manhunt 2 take main stage, a poker game with some cussing isn't a big deal for a download, I'm thinking.

poker the big game disappointed

So these guys are going to sit down in the same room and play cards. This will lead to havoc and destruction.

scared to steal mario from nintendo? their lawyers too big?
dude...telltail... how did you sink so low? i used to wait for your games in anticipation,
this is like...
more fail than i am prepared to accept from you!
if you are going to use this combination of charcters,
WHY oh please tell me WHY did you have to stick them in A BLOODY POKER GAME!
i dont even think i would pirate this :(
