First Episode available TOMORROW!

[Winckle]

Yes, i live in France and i'm excited about the worldwilde release of the first episode!
I've never played Sam and Max before but i think it's great!
I've seen some videos of Hit The Road and the humour is great.
(Why not sold or offer Hit The Road when buying the first season or in a bonus with the CD? It will be great because i can't find it anywhere)
At what time the game is supposed to be out tomorrow (GMT hour)?
Thanks for the answer.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too... Will it be GMT or local Californian time?
And hopefully your download servers won't break down under the thousands of simultan downloads ;)

[DaEvilZombiePirateLeChuck]

Holy cow you never played Sam n Max... you poor guy...
My only tip to you, if you see it take it. Wathever happens after it will be worth it I promise ;) . It's just a soo damn amazing game :D

[jannar85]

By the way, they can't offer the original game in the bundle because LucasArts owns it.

[Hellerphant]

OK ok ok!

It's currently 12:17am on Wednesday the 1st and I cant see the game anywhere? What time are you releasing it guys? I live in Aus so I guess I'll have to painfully wait another day until it's the 1st in the USA..... :'(

Can't wait though, I just know it's gonna be awesome :-D

[mothra]

damn, here in austria it's still 16:44....when i recall my steam-activation-experiences the game should be delivered around 18:00 CET.
but who knows. there will be activation-keys sent out to the customers
and maybe their mailserver will just blow.

[Jake]

Just for the record, it's 10:30 in the morning on Tuesday the 31st here in California! The game will be coming out tomorrow morning Pacific time (that's GMT -8), so I would recommend going to bed sometime between now and then :)

[djando]

ah so its a 1st of November for America and 2nd of Nov for the rest of the world :P
Its 10am in Australia now

[Azurice]

Sometimes existing in the future isn't all that great, huh. ;) :p

I can't wait...I only finished the first game a few weeks ago so I'm in a really Sam and Max mood. :D

[Hero1]

Good to see the australians are out in force :p

[Davejhj]

ITS THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER(AUS). My computer clock says so, where's my download! :(

Cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait, cant wait!

[holydevil]

Hey does anyone know what exact time (in pacific GMT -8 time zone) sam and max will be coming out. Morning, arvo, etc. I am from Australia and I can't wait!

[Hero1]

should be available about 5 or 6 this afternoon devil :rolleyes:

[siliconphoenix]

I'm freakin' out here! Just tried to pre-order the entire season but the damn ordering system won't take my credit card!!!!! Why damn you, why? The credit is there, the details are correct but why can't I buy you Sam and Max! Curses!

[jp-30]

Uhh, don't think so...

Jake said sometime in the morning US Pacific Time, Nov 1.

Let's say 10:30am.

Here's a Time Zone converter (http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc).

Putting US Pacific 10:30am, Nov 1 gives the following time in Sydney, Australia;

10:30:00 a.m. Wednesday November 1, 2006 in US/Pacific converts to
05:30:00 a.m. Thursday November 2, 2006 in Australia/Sydney

You'll be waiting until tomorrow, Aussies...

[Davejhj]

I read Nov 1st as, 00:00:01am...none of this 10.30am stuff. Cmon Telltale, stay up late for us :)

[thylacine]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

I've been lurking here for ages, but just putting myself forth as ANOTHER Aussie who's been waiting with bated breath. Sam and Max Hit the Road has often topped my lists as fave game, and I adore the duo in general.

Got my signed prints (framed above my desk), t-shirt, Surfin the Highway, and patiently awaiting my sketchbook. Pre-ordered the other day and am bubbling with excitement (it tingles) waiting for tomorrow morning.

First thing I'll be doin when I get to work is downloading... omg can't wait...

[Hero1]

10:30 am? I would have thought it would be available at midnight.. oh well

any one from melbourne round here?

[Legolas813]

Melbourne, Florida?

[Hero1]

noo melbourne australia :p

[Gboi!]

Another AUS guy here... and yeah, I've been thinking Nov 2 - just like with the Bone games, we get that extra sleep... damnit!

[Maratanos]

I'll have you know, as of right now, in California, the business day for Tuesday, October 31 hasn't ended yet. It's still about 4:35 PM. You'll have to wait another 18 hours or so.

[Junkface]

I'm from Melbourne. Can't decide whether to stay up through the night waiting for the first episode.

[Azurice]

I'm from Melbourne. Can't decide whether to stay up through the night waiting for the first episode.

I wouldn't, or you'll end up spending tomorrow in a daze, and won't know whether you're awake or not unless your holding a cup of 10x strength Red Bull or coffee.

Eh, at least that's what happens when I pull an all-nighter. :D

[jp-30]

I'm from New Zealand. I figure that game'll come online sometime tomorrow morning. I just don't know whether to play it right away or wait for my wife to finish work and play it with her.

Likely I'll play for 30-45 mins as soon as it downloads, and then start over with the wife in the evening.

[Legolas813]

Be sure to take your time with the game. You'll enjoy it more.

[Emily]

I read Nov 1st as, 00:00:01am...none of this 10.30am stuff. Cmon Telltale, stay up late for us :)

On Halloween? Which also happens to be Jake's birthday? You're asking too much. ;)

[Hellerphant]

Wow there are sooo many Aussies here! I wasn't aware Sam and Max was so popular here! Anyways coming to the states soon so if anyone wants to add me to MSN who lives in the USA please do so you can tell me what I have to check out....

hellerphant@hotmail.com

Well talk to you soon.....can't wait much longer, it's 12:48pm here now :(

[Davejhj]

Cmon Emily. Stay up late with Jake, get hammered(Aussie slang for drunk) then post the game and let us celebrate with you! It's the perfect excuse for a party! :)

[Viz79]

I cant believe they are waiting till early PST to release - it basically means that the rest of the world has to wait 'very' long. Obviously the poor Australians are waiting an entire day more but even here in the UK it means that we get it almost in the evening?!

I know a few hours is a few hours but how many years wait is this for a Sam & Max game for those of us that loved the original? I was sure Id be able to download it tomorrow afternoon at least and now we hear this :/ I sure hope it will be possible to download future episodes at an earlier time because PST may be the local time there but this is a global release and so perhaps some adjustment may be needed for the rest of us to get it at a reasonable time during the day? EST may be a better time period to base it around - five hour difference between that and GMT instead of the eight for PST...

[jp-30]

I cant believe they are waiting till early PST to release - it basically means that the rest of the world has to wait 'very' long. Obviously the poor Australians are waiting an entire day more but even here in the UK it means that we get it almost in the evening?

It's being simultaneously released around the world. How on earth does that mean some people have to wait longer?

If there were staggered releases over the 24 hours of Nov 1 THEN it would be (ever so slightly) unfair that some people were waiting longer than others!

[Viz79]

I am not sure if your question was actually serious and you seem to have missed a very simple point... or if it was some sort of strange joke.

How do I have to wait longer? Well lets see.. I get my version to download after 6pm. If you're sitting in California, you get yours in the morning on that same day. Can you see how I have waited and you haven't?

Ill explain in more detail then. Tomorrow morning Im going to wake up all excited to play the game but Im not going to get it until the evening. Another guy who did the exact same thing sitting in Western USA is going to wake up, fire up his PC and foom, its rabbity thingy time!

Its not really the biggest thing... it was a request to simply open up downloads just a 'few' hours earlier so people like me in the various countries across the globe all the way to Australia dont have to 'wait' longer as you can clearly see, Australia ends up a 'day' after due to the time difference. Most of Europe ends up in the afternoon/evening.

Im not sure why you would suddenly start getting excited over a simple request to open downloads a little earlier. Why all this agitation? Is this request for all these people that happen to be further east in the globe annoying? Sincere apologies for wanting to play the game early on the day like the people in the US - clearly it was a request too far for certain posters to stomach :P Still last I checked the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Since it does rise in the east, a time zone more central would be more beneficial for everyone like say - GMT? :)

[UnLogikal]

Can I preorder even after tonight for the $35?

Reason being I'm struggling to get Windows installed on my new Mac Pro.. stupid issue with the 23 apple cinema display.

I haven't preordered yet but I would like to be able to pay the $35 and get all the games rather than buy individually. But will that offer end tonight?

[pinaldo]

I'm in UK, Is it gonna be release on the midnight of 1NOV?

[Emily]

Cmon Emily. Stay up late with Jake, get hammered(Aussie slang for drunk) then post the game and let us celebrate with you! It's the perfect excuse for a party! :)

We did that last night. :D

Well, except for the posting the game part.

[Viz79]

Apparantly not Pinaldo from someone elses quote - its PST which makes it after 6pm our time if they do it at 10am PST. Hence my posts above and requests that they choose a more suitable timezone to open up their downloads on the date since their local one is one of the most 'western' time zones on the globe and most of us are east all the way to the other side of the sphere ;)

I do realise its a US West Coast developer but it is a global audience after all so...

[ensignyu]

Hey, consider this: if it comes out at 6pm your time and 10am my time, you're probably just getting off work and I'm just going to work (or already there). Who has to wait longer?

Good thing I'm a student :)

[thylacine]

If it's released 10am PST Nov 1, those of us on east coast of Aus will have it available around 5am Nov 2.

No biggie, I've been waitin just as long if not longer (ie was a fan since back in 93 when Hit the Road... hit), so another day, whilst a bit irritating, won't kill me. 15.5 hours remaining if the above's correct ;-)

[Viz79]

Yeah i thought about that ensignyu.. I recently graduated and am looking for work.. in fact I should be getting a job result very soon (hopefully tomorrow!). If I get it, then future releases Ill be getting back from work at that time. But with all the job application stress I was kinda counting on Sam & Max being out earlier tomorrow only to help me relax as I wait nervously :p

I still think its a very valid point though - this isnt like a gamestore release.. this is an online release catering across the globe so the location of the developer should matter less than centralising the time zone so its most comfortable across the globe? Which means PST is far too far west - GMT is the standard central zone isnt it that provides the best time difference east and west?

[Legolas813]

Releasing at the same time worldwide (which is what they are doing) is the fairest way. Releasing earlier in some countries just because of the timezone is just ridiculous.

[Viz79]

Im not quite sure how stating its 'ridiculous' without any reason for 'why' it is is much of an argument. The positives is that its an earlier download on the day for 'many' players across the globe than just west coast US players.

And whats the downside? As far as I can see.. none. If it simply is released in the middle of the night US west coast (very early hours of the morning 1st Noveeber) when most PST players are likely going to be asleep and waking to it 'anyway' (and if they stay up, wow they get it as soon as Nov 1st breaks!).

Are you so against other people getting the same feeling of waking up to this game that the simple premise of the game being released a few hours earlier is so terribly alien?

As you can see many players expected it to be midnight anyway - and midnight PST the first minute or so of November 1st on the west coast of the US would allow most of the world to download when they wake up TOO. The fact it might wait until 10 hours later (when people start waking up PST) makes littlse sense when they can do the same thing the previous midnight and make a lot more people happy earlier.

Sorry for being so ridiculous. :eek: You need to understand the game isnt being released 'earlier' in other countries, the rays of the sun simply reach us earlier. It almost sounds like I need to apologise for the sun rising over London earlier than it rises over LA or something!

[jp-30]

Just imagine that the release date is actually November 3. Then you can all have a nice surprise when it is actually made available in your country some 0-48 hours before November 3 actually begins.

[Viz79]

No Ill imagine instead that the world composes of the USA and I happen to live outside it :) Who knows - Telltale may still start releasing it at midnight and the world can download when they wake up whereever they are. Since I really can't see why they wouldn't do this small thing but looking at the thread and the attitude of some posters, clearly these people are hesitant to say 'yes why not let those guys have it early too - jsut release it at midnight.

Instead its 'no you wait.. you're not getting it earlier in the day than us because we are asleep when you'll be playing'. I have no answer to that. At least not one I can post anyway.. I think Ive posted all I can on this argument so Im going to leave it now. What will be will be.

[jp-30]

No doubt Telltale are releasing the game worldwide at the earliest possible time that their contracted 2-week GameTap exclusivity window allows.

Given that they will need a full compliment of support staff ready for the tech problem deluge that will hit as soon as the game is available, I'd say it is totally unreasonable to expect the Telltale staff to basically get no sleep for 2-3 days straight.

Let them make the game available in the morning, so they have a full, rested staff compliment ready to handle the bulk of queries that will come in during the course of the subsequent working day.

[Derwin]

It's being simultaneously released around the world. How on earth does that mean some people have to wait longer?

If there were staggered releases over the 24 hours of Nov 1 THEN it would be (ever so slightly) unfair that some people were waiting longer than others!

No, what you fail to factor in is the Special Theory of Relativity. You see, it goes something like if you have a relative working at Telltale, you get the game earlier. Otherwise, you have to rely on one of the other tenants of Relativity. That no two events can be simultaneous unless they are both in the same frame of reference. Seeing as "Americans" are definitely in a different reference frame than, say, Europeans and Oceanians, the event is therefore not simultaneous (note that this does not take into account Californians being way out of reference in respect to the rest of the world :p). And in Australia's case, we have to remember that light travels slower in the Southern Hemisphere. I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about that. That's Physics!

Sorry for the incredibly lame and long post. I hope I shed as little light and insight as possible into this discussion.

man so many australian sam and max fans..its good to see!

[ensignyu]

I'm from California and it's almost 9pm here, but it sounds unlikely we'll see a midnight PST release.

[Marty]

man so many australian sam and max fans..its good to see!

thats becuase we have great taste in dogs and bunny things

[Emily]

I'm way too lazy to find the post, but I distinctly remember saying like two months ago that I didn't want any complaining from the Australians about this. :D

Our contract with GameTap says that they have a 15-day exclusivity window. Exactly. We can't release the game *anywhere* before those 15 days are up, which is one reason we wouldn't roll it out earlier in some parts of the world.

And the other reason is that it would be a logistical nightmare with no real payoff. ;)

Anyway, I hope you find the game is worth the extra day of waiting. :)

[jp-30]

All you Australians can pass the time by staying up late and watching Ponting and the rest of your team get knocked out of the one-day cricket series by the almighty black-caps.

Half 5 in the AM for us brits, was hoping to see it up. No worries, just as long as it comes :)

[Hoschijan]

It's 7.12am CET now... The good thing about them releasing it midnight PST would also have been to share the serverload. I hope, if I get home this evening (what would be just around 10am PST) there are no problems when trying to download the game, because this would be exactly the time when everyone will download after the game becoming available. If they released it midnight PST all Australians, Europeans, etc, would have had the chance to download it during the day, share the serverload and have it ready when coming home from work...

[Hellerphant]

It is as simple as this...

IF it is supposed to be a SIMULTANEOUS release on November 1st it is Tell-tales obligation to release the game at midnight PST. Because if they wait until 10:00am it will no longer be the 1st in many countries, thus destroying the whole idea of a Simulatneous release. I personally don't care, as long as I get the game! I live in Aus and i gotta say I am soooo surprised there are sooo many Aussie fans :-D

The Agitated Hellerphant

[Ygurr]

Hi I'm an Aussie too, have fond memories of playing right thought Hit the Road

was overjoyed when Freelance Police was announced, only to be canceled Grrr. Lucasarts.

Then telltale games, you legends have now done it, can't wait till it's available.

i too had no idea it was also a comic and tv show until a couple of month ago.

[jp-30]

Because if they wait until 10:00am it will no longer be the 1st in many countries, thus destroying the whole idea of a Simulatneous release.

I think your definition of "simultaneous" needs refining.

[numble]

It is a simultaneous release. Everybody will be getting it simultaneously. Everybody will be able to get it at the same time.

If I am talking to you on the phone, we can be talking simultaneously or at the same time regardless of whatever happens to be the local time.

And Emily basically explained all the logistical difficulties (as well as legal ones)... I guess I'd suggest that Telltale put up a countdown clock next time, synchronized to the time they actually intend to release things, and that should clear up all ambiguity as well as serve as another element that makes people say "I can't wait!"

[Junkface]

It'd be nice to have it released at midnight, but as JP-30 said Telltale probably (understandably) want to have support staff around at the time of release. I'd rather wait 10 hours or whatever extra than have every one in the world playing the game except me because something got fucked up immediately before I went to download and noone's around to fix it. That said, it would be nice for future episodes if Telltale set a more specific ETA, if only so I know when to set my alarm clock for.

[Pvt._Public]

Well, I'm a fan from New Zealand (or as we like to say, Noo Zild). So it's not only Aussies who are getting excited. For us here it's 8:46pm on November 1st. I'll just say this now, if there's some sort of problem and I can't download my preordered Sam and Max goodness... Somebody is going to fully appreciate my displeasure. Otherwise, I can't wait. I'm sure it'll be fantastic!

[jp-30]

Numble's idea of a countdown clock is a good one. Except that if there is a slight delay in getting the download activation thing switched on, all hell will break loose.

And having a bit of a 'floating' release time probably puts less stress on the download server. I can't imagine the hits that thing would get if everyone was waiting until the exact same second to start downloading.

On that, is p2p distribution an option for the installer? I guess you can't track individual downloads, but peope would still need to activate the game once installed in the usual manner.

[jp-30]

Well, the servers are going to take a gigantic hammering tomorrow. I'm not expecting a fast (accessible?) download until several hours after the actual release time.

[CJM]

I agree with Junkface. The most annoying part of the whole thing is checking my email and the telltale site every half hour to see if it's been posted yet. I've given up hope that I'll see it before the morning of the second (another Aussie) - but that won't stop me checking into the early hours of the morning. This is also probably the reason that a lot of us have been posting here, with the 1/11/06 date we've woken up and been wondering when it's going to be available for download.

So yeah, even just a 'Sometime after 3pm GMT 1/11/06' would do it for me, so I can actually get some work done :P

--CJM

[jp-30]

Jake from telltale has said morning, US Pacific time. That's between ~4am and ~7am, 2 November Sydney time.

I'd get some sleep if I were you. Or watch the cricket...

[Pvt._Public]

Well, the servers are going to take a gigantic hammering tomorrow. I'm not expecting a fast (accessible?) download until several hours after the actual release time.

Well, due to the timezone difference, coupled with School and Guitar lessons, etc. I hope that the rush will be mostly dealed with by the time I actually get to play. Hmm... People seem to be getting tense.

As for the cricket, I'm not holding my breath. Black Caps all the way of course, but...

[Hellerphant]

Lol as if the black caps are going to win

Yes I AM AWARE what the definition of Simultaneous BUT it says it will be RELEASED on Nov 1st......So if we recieve it on November 2nd we arent revieving it Simultaneously on the 1st ARE WE

[caevyn]

I am waiting eagerly, I am patient yet excited. Have tell tale considered a preloading approach like steam? let people download before the release and activate the game on the release? this would avoid the rush on the servers and give instant satisfaction:) I guess theres the chance people would hack it etc. oh well. just a thought while I wait:P

[ensignyu]

Given that it's already been on GameTap for two weeks, that would have been a wide open opportunity to hack it. Done properly, and assuming nobody inside the company leaks it, there's no way to hack a preloaded copy before the release date. But hey, this is only 80 megs or so, hopefully shouldn't be too bad. I hope the servers can handle it!

... And, it's past midnight in California, so I guess we've got another ~10 hours to wait. But this is going to be good :)

[BarfHappy]

Ouch, must hurt to be Australian today >.<

Here in France it is frustrating because it is a national holiday, so there is plenty of time today to play Sam and Max Season 1 Episode 1 part ...err nope going too far, well anyway, to pass time i'm gonna play through Hit The Road, then read "Surfin' the Highway", i don't want to miss the "private" jokes :P

Yea we love trams too !

But u know wot Melbourne doesn't have.
On Nov. 1, it doesn't have Sam n Max.

A post HERE (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=913) says that the game on Gametap was released at about 12 O'clock!
with the 15-day exclusivity:

12 o'clock (don't know if we marke am or pm) - California
3pm - East Coast
8pm - London
9pm - France

Yeah, that's pretty much what we're expecting. Give or take an hour.

[Mischa]

what we need here, is an invention, that was made years ago in switzerland. everybody laughed about them.

but now the "swatch beat time" would be able to prevent such a mess.

it was a standartized (is this writing correct? im german...) internet time. the day was splittet in 1000 beats. there were no time difference. so if we had said, the game is released Nov 1st at 500 beats. everybody knows the exact time. this might be night in europe and day an USA, but noone would have had any problems with calculating time differences.

read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time

[Marvin]

I remember them using Swatch Beats for Phantasy Star Online. It had some cunning icon based comms for cross language communication as well. Not that I ever played with anyone outside my country...

*wanders off into the mists of nostalgia*

[jp-30]

Is it really that hard to use an internet time zone converter?

And you still need to convert an Interent Beat time to local time to make any sense of it...

[Mischa]

jep, the good old times. the swatch beat was invented 5 years after "sam and max hit the road". in my point of view, this game started a new calculation of times. in my little world, today is the year 13 a samhtr (after sam and max hit the road")

did you ever notice, that the initials of "sam and max" form the name "SAM" if they were put together? isn't that strange? sounds like very conspirative to me...

[Mischa]

Is it really that hard to use an internet time zone converter?

And you still need to convert an Interent Beat time to local time to make any sense of it...

yes, that's the american way ;-) why doing it simple, when there's an uncomfortable way. such as using AM and PM instead of the 24h schedule ;-)

you don' need to convert the internet beat, if everyone has such a clock and is used to it.

[jp-30]

Next time we make an announcement it will be "Sam & Max's worldwide release will be Wednesday, November 1, sometime in the morning, Pacific standard time, which is sometime in the afternoon on the east coast, sometime in the evening in Europe, and early the next morning in Australia and New Zealand..." Doesn't have the same ring to it. :D

Soon, guys! Very very soon!

You could release it at 10am GMT. That's the time MS use to ensure that everyone in the world gets the same piece of content on the same day on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Still good to read that it's coming soon.

Yay, Emily posted. That means she is awake and physically shoving the game into those little tubes we call the internet!

Oh, and good morning Telltale. Today is going to be an exciting day.

The Internet needs a standard time...UTC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC) or perhaps Swatch Internet Time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time). Oh no, I'm reading Wikipedia while I wait, save me!

Good to hear regardless, looking forward to this :D

D'oh. That's what I get for not reading a thread in its entirety. Ah well, it was an interesting read nonetheless.
