New Telltale Games teaser on tomorrow night's GTTV.....some very special guest stars in this title.

Thoughts?

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-untitled-telltale/703721

[Rather Dashing]

Wouldn't they just say the name of it if it was an already announced product? Maybe it's a new series or pilot or that Texas Hold 'Em sequel they practically announced with that survey ages ago.

I want to guess something fantastic, so I'm going to say it's a Portal adventure game from the perspective of GLaDOS. Granted, Portal is already an adventure game, but I'm talking more traditionally so. :O

[Jenna]

wow... not buyin' it

[jp-30]

It's probably Lego Star Wars III.


:p

[splash1]

Telltale is going to make Lego Star Wars III?! OH sweet!

[Secret Fawful]

Oh, that. Yeah, that's just the teaser for the Futurama game they're gonna make.

THE ONE THEY WILL MAKE.

the upcoming The Lord of the Rings role-playing game, War in the North), Rocksteady (Batman: Arkham Asylum), Telltale Games (Lego You-Name-It) and scooping up faltering Midway along the way. Turbine could simply be another feather in Warner's cap.

[puzzlebox]

I am moderately excited about this.

[McSpain]

http://www.gamepro.com/article/features/216227/money-for-nothing-and-your-kicks-for-free/

Euhm... You know that the Company doing the LEGO-Games was and will be "TTGames" formely known as "TravellersTales Games". The Telltale/TravellersTales-Typo happens alot. ;-)

[Vainamoinen]

In their eyes, the Sam & Max season finale trailer probably counts as "new". But hey, let's see! :)

[Ribs]

The reason I assumed BTTF is I do not know of any guest stars for Sam and Max that could possibly show up. If we're lucky, though, Sam could team up with Donny Osmond.

[Bloody Eugene]

I bet it will be the new CSI with an interview of actor from the series - to promote the upcoming game.
It just make sense.



(BTW I think it's too early for any BTTF & JP material)

[Jake]

It's not anything Lego-related. Those are made by Traveler's Tales, aka TT Games. I know some people in here know that the above Lego posts were a joke, but I wanted to clarify.

I think you guys will be familiar with the contents of the thing, though.

[PainDealer]

I think you guys will be familiar with the contents of the thing, though.

Way to crush our hopes :(

[RingmasterJ5]

Way to crush our hopes :(

Well, the way Jake worded it, it could be a Season 2, but we'll find out tonight.

I hope it's (even though it's VERY unlikely) an SBCG4AP 2 announcement by the Bros. Chaps themselves.

[Tjibbbe]

I'm not getting my hopes up; I think it's Sam & Max 305 (which is looking very awesome). That, or more Puzzle Agent (Jake and Sean mentioned on The Idle Thumbs Podcast that they were working on a very small, very weird project). CSI is a possibility, but Telltale never really handled the promotion for those games themselves. Of course, it could be Back to the Future, but I have a feeling that it's still way too early for that.

It's either one of those, or a new project. Not entirely new, going by Jake's words, and I don't think it's a new, previously unannounced season of one of their other franchises. I just don't see where they would get the time/manpower to make it.

Oh well, we'll see. How long until the teaser is supposed to be shown?

[Trenchfoot]

Could it be Tales 2 with Dominic as the guest star???











Probably not.

[RingmasterJ5]

Oh well, we'll see. How long until the teaser is supposed to be shown?


Tonight on Gametrailers TV(12:30 EST on SPIKE).

[Cyphox]

bttf

guest stars: michael j. fox, christopher lloyd, steven spielberg

and we're all very familiar with that stuff, 'cause we've seen all 3 movies several times.

[GaryCXJk]

Oh, Geoff Keighley... The cocktease of gaming...

Seriously, if Geoff Keighley says "something special", you can be pretty certain you will be disappointed.

[Alan Johnson]

Are you guys excited or what? :)

We're excitable.

[Icedhope]

If I wasn't about to crash, and then I'm going to feel horrible if I miss it.

[DrRocketGenius]

My phone is set to beep at 12:20. My body is ready I am ready.

[splash1]

I hope it's BTTF news, I don't think I can take another new Telltale title.

[DrRocketGenius]

It's a Weird Al Show game. I'm calling it now.

[daltysmilth]

Lucasarts has given them the okay to finish and release Sam & Max: Freelance Police. That's my prediction and I will stick by it even if it really does turn out to be something else.

[Ribs]

A. An hour left!

B. Someone said 'Universal Studios Game!', and someone replied 'You ruin everything', and Geoff Keighley replied 'He didn't ruin anything', it's a Season Two, peoples. (I hope)

[jp-30]

Does the show stream live on the gametrailers site, or do they put clips up after the tv broadcast is done?

I've found a spiketv stream, of dubious legality I assume, but would rather watch on the gt site if it's offered live and not geo-restricted.

Nah, the full ep is put up tommorow (or later today in most countries :P), so I'd stick to that totally legal method.

Also; MixNMojo Put this up: http://mixnmojo.com/news/Telltale-to-announce-surprise-game-at-PAX

Telltale, like all the cool kids, will be at the Penny Arcade Expo next week. Members of the Sam & Max team and Grickle/Puzzle Agent creator Graham Annable will be on hand to answer questions, including "when's Puzzle Agent Episode 2 coming out?" I hope.

There will be Back To The Future news at last, with Telltale bringing along "an actual DeLorean Time Machine" apparently. They'll be travelling back to March 2004 and try to set right what once went wrong presumably. Or am I thinking of Quantum Leap?

And yes, as you deduced from the story title there will be "a surprise game announcement" there too. Tales of Monkey Island Season Two? Puzzle Agent Part Two? Another Pilot Program game? Who knows?!

[jp-30]

I'm hoping for ToMI season 2, but another Universal title (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Universal_Pictures_films) could be interesting.

[Ribs]

I'm hoping for ToMI season 2, but another Universal title could be interesting.

I'm seriously thinking Strong Bad, but I have no idea how that would have Guest Stars.

[thesporkman]

I'm seriously thinking Strong Bad, but I have no idea how that would have Guest Stars.

They Might Be Giants?

[jp-30]

The Telltale Facebook status says "Tune in to GameTrailers TV tonight at 12:30 AM on Spike TV to catch a teaser trailer for one of our upcoming games. Hey, you might spot a famous face or two!"

Which reads like the guests may be in-studio (or filmed prior), not necessarily in-game. So it could be Strong Bad, with the Chapmans in studio.

But I'm still leaning towards Sam & Max Ep 5 (maybe with Purcell as a guest on the show).

[RingmasterJ5]

Just what I was thinking!

[Ribs]

Alright folks, GTTV starts in 2 minutes! Let's get excite!

[jp-30]

I'm picking up the ex-ci-tations.

[RingmasterJ5]

Am I the only one currently getting an episode of MANswers, and not GTTV?

[jp-30]

That's what my stream is showing too. Are you watching on cable in the US?

Wait, good now.

[RingmasterJ5]

That's what my stream is showing too. Are you watching on cable in the US?

It was, but GTTV is starting now.

[Ribs]

...And it's trailer for crossover withMax, and Strong Bad and says Find out How 9.2.10.

[RingmasterJ5]

Oh. my. god. Someone name those two other guys NOW!

[Ribs]

I want to say one was Duncan from Wallace, but I'm not quite sure.

[jp-30]

Was that it...? A teaser to say something is happening on Sept 2? My screen froze, and I saw 4 silhouettes. Anyone get a screengrab?

[TylerL]

Tycho from Penny Arcade, and the big guy from Team Fortress 2?

[Secret Fawful]

I saw the Heavy from TF2 and I missed the fourth party.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

[Tjibbbe]

Wait wait wait?

Texas Hold Em 2?

Telltale Kart?

Oh man, I hope there's going to be more.

[DrRocketGenius]

...what was that? Was that the entire thing? Are Max and Strong Bad the "celebrities"?

[wefeelgroove]

I was about to ask if I was crazy and seeing the Heavy.

[jp-30]

A Team Fortress character pack?

[Tjibbbe]

They only showed a Telltale logo, no Valve logo anywhere...

Man, I wish these guys would stop talking about Halo.

[RingmasterJ5]

My four ideas:

The one on the right is a cartoon Doc Brown, and it's just news on the style of the new Universal games.

A crossover game.

Also, I keep seeing that big guy as a TF2 Heavy.

Finally, maybe the two unknown guys are from DOTT and Full Throttle, and it's a super-fanservice game.

EDIT: Wow, lots of posts happened while I was posting mine. Now that I look at it, I think it's Tycho and the Heavy too, but I hope it's not, because I'm only 13, and those characters would probably mean M.

[DrRocketGenius]

I honestly have no idea what to make of that entire thing. I have 80 hours logged in TF2 and I didn't even notice the Heavy. :p

[jp-30]

All the text I saw was the date, did it say "a crossover game"? Anything else?

[allaboardfilms]

Nice use of Fugue and Dies Irae, but....that was it? Seriously?

[Ribs]

All the text I saw was the date, did it say "a crossover game"? Anything else?

It said something like 'You haven't seen these guys together before'

[Secret Fawful]

It said I bet you never expected to see these guys together. That implies a crossover.

EDIT: DAMN IT NINJA'D AGAIN!

[DrRocketGenius]

All the text I saw was the date, did it say "a crossover game"? Anything else?

No, it didn't use the words "crossover game". It was more along the lines of "what do these have to do with each other? Find out on 9/2/10."

Crap. Secret Fawful and StLouisRibs said the right thing. I was still baffled by the silhouettes. :p

[Ribs]

I sincerely hope it's a crossover adventure game, not racing or something like htat and I can't wait until the morning when the full episode is posted on GT.com.

[thesporkman]

So, erm, is anyone going to post this on YouTube for those of us without cable? :P

[RingmasterJ5]

All of them but SB seem to be holding something.

[Ribs]

So, erm, is anyone going to post this on YouTube for those of us without cable? :P

It'll be online once the West coast has aired.

[DrRocketGenius]

This will be all over the Internet tomorrow morning.

[Tjibbbe]

EDIT: Wow, lots of posts happened while I was posting mine. Now that I look at it, I think it's Tycho and the Heavy too, but I hope it's not, because I'm only 13, and those characters would probably mean M.

Do you mean to say that you've made a screenshot? Because posting that right here would make you a legend, my man.

[Ribs]

So can we get this moved by a mod to general and/or 'Secret Project' catagory?

[jp-30]

I can move it to General, I need a higher up to make a new category.

[DrRocketGenius]

Is PAX on September 2nd?

[Ribs]

Is PAX on September 2nd?

Yup.

And I'd move it to general and maybe retitle it Telltale Project Discussion or something like htat.

[jp-30]

It's already moved and retitled. Do keep up. :p

[DrRocketGenius]

The whole Max-has-psychic-powers reveal was pretty big, but this is just... woah.

[Ribs]

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-untitled-telltale/703721

[Tuftecake]

Here's the trailer, that's definitely Tycho and The Heavy. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-untitled-telltale/703720
EDIT:...Neeeevermind that.

[Ribs]

http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/3755/picture1yq.png

[DrRocketGenius]

Tycho and Heavy are holding cards. Telltale Texas Holdem 2.

[Tjibbbe]

Whoa, they're totally holding cards. I was just kidding with Texas Hold Em 2! This could be so awesome.

My guess: It's not a crossover game. The Heavy makes it too weird, I don't know if Valve would go for that. I think Tycho is there because of PAX, Max because season 3 is pretty new, and Telltale is supposed to reveal a new game at PAX (according to MixnMojo), so that could explain Strong Bad. The Heavy is just....hanging around...

Man, this is weird. And awesome. And weird.

[RingmasterJ5]

Aw, I had a video, but GTTV beat me to it. and yes, that MUST be Tycho and the Heavy. Sadly, that means it's possibly one of two TTG series I can't get because of rating. But, can someone please upload that teaser as a wallpaper?

[nodoctors]

Hey now...A card game I'll actually be interested in.

[Ribs]

For the record: I changed my usertitle earlier today. So I predicted the future.

[Secret Fawful]

The Heavy is just....hanging around...

That doesn't make any sense. Why pick Heavy to just hang around of all people. Now you are probably right about Tycho being there because of PAX, but they wouldn't throw in a random character from another company into their teaser for no reason.

[DrRocketGenius]

For the record: I changed my usertitle earlier today. So I predicted the future.

Without even knowing it!

[Ribs]

Yahtzee is inspirational.

"Sniping is like a point n click adventure game, although the only command here is use gun on man"

[jp-30]

Aw, I had a video, but GTTV beat me to it. and yes, that MUST be Tycho and the Heavy. Sadly, that means it's possibly one of two TTG series I can't get because of rating.

Just because Tycho and the Heavy are in an existing M rated game, doesn't mean that this new game will necessarily have the same rating.

[tredlow]

So, it's a Telltale Celebrity Texas Holdem 2. A little underwhelming for me compared to a crazy crossover adventure game, but it sounds pretty cool. I guess a crossover adventure game would probably be kinda cheesy unless done right.

Oh, and that's definitely Tycho.

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/4770/tychoshade.png

Note the tiny neck, the chin and the details on his hair.

[Tjibbbe]

That doesn't make any sense. Why pick Heavy to just hang around of all people. Now you are probably right about Tycho being there because of PAX, but they wouldn't throw in a random character from another company into their teaser for no reason.

I wasn't being totally serious you know ;).

I guess this is that weird game Jake Rodkin, Sean Vanaman and 6 others have been working on (according to Idle Thumbs). I wonder if it's part of the pilot program. Oh well, we'll see at PAX.

[jp-30]

They wouldn't feature Tycho or the Heavy and use that teaser tagline if they weren't all in the game.

Edit: Oh, I missed that you weren't being 100% serious.

[DrRocketGenius]

Also, I can't see them putting Tycho in the trailer and him not being in the game, seeing as it said they'd all be together.

And I just almost spelled "said" as "sayd". I'm tired.

Oh hey, jp-30 beat me to it by a minute.

[Ribs]

It didn't mention a game. Maybe it's a 25-minute long short film done in the Telltale engine.

[Tjibbbe]

From the Gametrailers-site:

What on Earth could these characters possibly be doing in the same place? Telltale's next game brings them all together!

So yeah, they're talking about an actual game, not some other project. Who knows who wrote that though. I don't think the guys at GT know a lot more than we do.

Man, out of everything they could have shown, this is probably the most confusing possibility. I like it.

[LuigiHann]

Interesting guest stars indeed! Tycho would be an especially odd selection, since this could be the first time that the character is given voice acting (or perhaps the first Telltale character to speak using only text bubbles?)

Also, while I have no objection to a sequel to Telltale Texas Hold'Em, I would hope it's not just another Texas Hold'Em game, since that isn't exactly my favorite card game, and if I'm going spend money on a computer card game it's nice to get a variety of options.

[tredlow]

Are you guys gonna give Tycho a voice? Like, y'know, voiced by Jerry Holkins? Or is he just gonna have subtitles, like in Penny Arcade Adventures?

[Ribs]

I like someone on Kotaku's theory that this is a spiritual succesor to the A-Team.

[jp-30]

i like someone on kotaku's theory that this is a spiritual succesor to the a-team.

lol

[Ribs]

But how will Sam and Max react when they play cards with 'Leonard'?

[tredlow]

I like someone on Kotaku's theory that this is a spiritual succesor to the A-Team.

It's an A-Team Telltale game with the voices of Matt Chapman, William Kasten, Jerry Holkins, and Gary Schwartz (That last one I had to imdb).

Also, they play Yu-Gi-Oh cards now.

Oh, also, I saw the gameplay of Telltale Texas Holdem on youtube, and a game like that with Tycho, Heavy, Max and Strongbad would actually be awesome! It'd be cool watching these characters interact with each other.

[jp-30]

The Orgastic Four ride again for the first time.

[Captain Viku]

Tycho and Heavy are holding cards. Telltale Texas Holdem 2.

and now my dreams are crushed....hard....

[Ribs]

I'm really interested in this because of the whole Homestar thing. Do you think the reason for the lack of toons is because they've been in California recording dialogue (for every single character?!?!?)

[tredlow]

I'm really interested in this because of the whole Homestar thing. Do you think the reason for the lack of toons is because they've been in California recording dialogue (for every single character?!?!?)

Ooh! The completion of this game could also mean the return of Homestar Cartoons!

But I think only Strongbad is in the game. In the first Telltale Texas Holdem, there's only 4 characters, so I'm guessing it's the same here.

[Ribs]

Ooh! The completion of this game could also mean the return of Homestar Cartoons!

Oh, but I think only Strongbad is in the game.

If this were the best crossover ever, it would have dialogue from all 9 TF2 Classes, Gabe and Tycho, All The Original Hold 'Em'ers, Sam, Max, Bosco, Sybil, Sal (pleeeeeease?), Strong Bad, Strong Sad, Pom Pom, Homestar, Homsar (plox), Strong Mad, Bubs, the KOT, Marzipan, Coach Z, The Cheat, and The Poopsmith.

[Cyberlink420]

Texas Hold 'Em 2 or not, this has certainly shot up to my most anticipated game of PAX. Can't wait for the reveal.

[Giant Tope]

i think its just the ones in the picture.

[tredlow]

If this were the best crossover ever, it would have dialogue from all 9 TF2 Classes, Gabe and Tycho, All The Original Hold 'Em'ers, Sam, Max, Bosco, Sybil, Sal (pleeeeeease?), Strong Bad, Strong Sad, Pom Pom, Homestar, Homsar (plox), Strong Mad, Bubs, the KOT, Marzipan, Coach Z, The Cheat, and The Poopsmith.

I guess. Though the 4 characters in the teaser is good enough for me.

And I disagree, the best crossover ever would involve the cast of Futurama and The Doctor. Oh, and Plastic Man.

[The Highway]

Telltale Texas Hold'em 2? With these guys? Sounds interesting

[Secret Fawful]

Telltale needs to buy us all a Delorian so we don't have to wait to play their games.

[tredlow]

One thing still kinda worries me. Okay, only a little kinda worries me.

Okay, just something I keep thinking about, I actually don't mind either way; there's these 4 characters, 3 of them had voices we're already familiar with, and then there's Tycho.

If I remember correctly, the reason Penny Arcade Adventures didn't have full voice acting is because everyone imagined these characters' voices differently while reading the comic, and it's difficult to find one voice that pleases everyone, and frankly, that's one of the complaints I had for Telltale's Bone game.

The best way I could think of to deal with this is having Jerry Holkins voice him, but still, there will be complainers, in the veins of "tehy made tycho sounds gay, dis game sux".

[jp-30]

Telltale needs to buy us all a Delorian so we don't have to wait to play their games.

[JonSaskawan]

[Bunnyman]

4 of PC's most iconic characters in a single game?

This is why I love you Telltale!

I will become a card game player!

[The Highway]

BUT LOOK AT THE CHARACTERS!

Oh my god, I'm so happy Strong Bad is still alive.

[Secret Fawful]

Seen this;

http://mixnmojo.com/news/Telltale-to-announce-surprise-game-at-PAX

All they did was buy THEM a Delorian. Where is my Delorian? Telltale is turning into another Lucasarts; they're a disappointment. All they care about is hoarding Delorians like a bunch of Scrooge McDucks. I'm entitled to a Delorian. And do you know why? Because my foot hurts. And my entire butt, crack and all, is itchy. I demand my compensation.

I want a Delorian! I have to have it! I have to I have to I have to!

Ahem.

I want Strong Bad NOW please.

[ShaggE]

I hate poker, but I'll be buying this game with gusto... the dialog will be unbelievably funny. (insert jump-to-conclusions mat pic, but it's obviously TTTH2... or maybe a Magic-type game? Dare I hope?)

I also hope that either Wallace or Gromit are in it.

[tabstis]

I don't know if Telltale could get the licenses for characters from other games just to make another poker game... unless it has some kind of twist to it.

[Sir Pantalones]

This is ridiculously cool, and a fun thing to wake up to!

[jp-30]

I also hope that either Wallace or Gromit are in it.

I think it'll just be the four pictured, but if you're getting W&G, then we also need Guybrush (or Morgan). :D

ill buy it no matter what it is! It's the characters, they're back, but in pog form! You remember pogs, Highway?

[ShaggE]

I hope it's not just the four (assuming it's what I think it is). A sequel's gotta up the ante, after all. *rimshot*

Agreed about Guybrush though.

[Sir Pantalones]

If it's a huge mash-up, I hope they only have one character per franchise. Like, no Sam, no Gabe, no Spy, no Homestar. That was in my opinion what the Smash Bros games did wrong, it's no fun if two characters already know each other in a mash-up game. More games please.

[Toast_Burner]

All the characters were holding cards so its probably texas hold'em 2

[anonima]

it may be the secret game official trailer

[jp-30]

What?

[anonima]

the one that isnt named is tthe2

[Threepwood4Life]

I'll be disappointed if it is a Texas Holdem game, can't stand them and not very good at playing them either if it was a Super Smash Bros type game then yes please!!!

[anonima]

that is awesome
p.s.if you look closely the people are holding cards

[Sir Pantalones]

I'm not a big fan of Texas Hold-'Em either. Personally, I hope they include loads of different card games, as long as all fun conversations between characters are present.

Fighting games ain't Telltale's thing.

[Ray-The-Sun]

Since the Heavy is is in this, it'll likely be published on steam primarily.

[anonima]

i cant only be on steam

[Harald B]

Having Max play without having Sam in the same room is going to be weird. Hopefully the inter-franchise banter will make up for that.

[Sir Pantalones]

Having Max play without having Sam in the same room is going to be weird. Hopefully the inter-franchise banter will make up for that.

I bet there will be plenty of character to make up for the missing Sam. Tycho maybe? :P

BY THE WAY, what's the song in the trailer? I love it, and it seems very familiar.

[Cyrus7]

I really hope it's an adventure or a platformer, not just some card game.

[anonima]

check it again and look closely

[Sir Pantalones]

I really hope it's an adventure

I doubt a storyline would work very well with the mixture of universes, unless they do it like Smash Bros, where it's not the actual characters running around, but instead trophies of them sprung to life with the same personalities and traits.

[tredlow]

I doubt a storyline would work very well with the mixture of universes,

"Universes crash, collide, and merge, killing thousands, and mutating millions into horrible interdimensional abominations, vaporizing worlds and civilizations into dust, all for the sake of one thing...

For four people to get together for a game of Hold'em

Telltale Texas Hold'em 2: The final card game ever."

[The Highway]

It's the characters, they're back, but in pog form! You remember pogs, Highway?

Yay! Telltale Texas Pog Trading Game RPG!

[wefeelgroove]

Surprisingly, most people on the TF2 Steam forum aren't raging about this. I think that might be a first for them.

[tredlow]

Oh, and if it is Telltale Texas Hold'em 2, which it probably is, please, please, Telltale, give it a good tutorial. I have no idea how to play card games.

[The Highway]

Surprisingly, most people on the TF2 Steam forum aren't raging about this. I think that might be a first for them.

:confused:

[Guinea]

I'm not sure if I'd be interested in a card game, just because it has 4 characters from different franchises...
So I hope it's not a card game, but a fighting game or something.

Now the question is, is it Tycho or is it a new Guybrush model?

There is no doubt in my mind that it's Tycho.

[Falanca]

That is indeed Tycho.

And Telltale somehow manages to get awesomer and awesomer.

[Gman5852]

Im surprised no one
A.realized max has his gun and not a deck of cards
B.isnt it possible the heavy and thycho have the gift and are carrying the mind reading cards(just that there are 2 of them)

[DrRocketGenius]

There are 3 companies that I trust completely to make great games: Nintendo, Telltale and Valve. And hey, two of them are in this game. :D

[Avistew]

I think Max might be holding cards at the same time as his gun. I wouldn't put it past him to use both at once, honestly.

[The Highway]

Strong Bad is holding nothing

[tredlow]

Just tried the first Texas Hold'em game, and it is AWESOME, I am now more excited at this game! Though Telltale better expect some disappointed fans after they found out that it's just a card game.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

I know it seems to be a card game (Telltale's Texas Hold'em 2 or similar), but I still have (very little) hope that it will be the Telltale Racing Mario-Kart style I'm craving for.
Well, I'll wait for the next crossover game...

[The Highway]

I've always thought a Super Smash Bros Telltale Edition would work.

Imagine if Telltale and Nintendo joined forces...... :O

I would expect something like that it was a pure Telltale game. It's a crossover of the characters of other companies and I assume it's just another poker game.

I mean I WOULD be playing something that great if I knew how to play poker in the first place. I guess I'll just be missing it.

Oooooooor they may be making a game where there are MORE than 4 characters, which is actually a minigame fest, and only one of them is poker. So I wouldn't cross out the possibility of a racing game.

Now, Max doesn't quite fit in with the family-friendly demographic Nintendo is aiming for, does he? I mean, yeah, imagining that kind of a cooperation would also mean Nintendo making games hinting mental disturbance, psychopaths, and pulling out rat entrails.

Well, a Telltale Kart Racing game would have less in-character interactions between the characters (aside from using weapons and bumping) during gameplay, and the interactions between these characters is what I'm really hoping for.

I'm just hoping that, if it is a Telltale Texas Hold'em, the character's arms will move more than the first one.

If it's a poker game i'm not gonna bother. If it's a full adventure game lets just hope it doesn't end up like one of those crappy Hanna-Barbera crossovers, The Flintstones meet The Jetsons sorta shite

I am not interested in the slightest. Card games bore the hell out of me.

[Darth Marsden]

Has anyone from Telltale explicitly said that this is a game? Or is that an assumption that we're all making?

'cause I think it's just a Steam sale featuring all four games - Penny Arcade Adventures, Sam & Max (not sure which series, maybe all of them), Team Fortress 2 and SBCG4AP. That seems pretty logical to me.

[tredlow]

I am not interested in the slightest. Card games bore the hell out of me.

Well, in Telltale Texas Hold 'em 1, the best thing is that the characters all interact with each other, shouting insults, comebacks, etc. So, the best thing about these 4 franchises coming together is that these characters will interact with each other.

That said, I guess a game with a story would be cooler.

Yeah, but I don't think they'd make a huge deal about a sale, to the point that they're having a teaser of the announcement for it. Either that, or Telltale will be facing hell from hyped up fans.

Apparently Telltale have had the model for the heavy, so I think they've put him into a game

Heavy with psychic powers? That would explain how he can kill people by pointing at them.

Can anyone think of any other company (apart from Nintendo) who could pull something like this off right now? I know that Sony are doing a game with Jak, Ratchet, Sly etc. in it, but I can't think of anyone else with a decent enough line up of characters that would warrant a crossover game.

Also, for the record, I'm gonna say I'm 90% certain that Wallace, Guybrush, LeChuck, etc., are all in this game too. Sorry if this has already been talked about, I skipped a lot of pages.

I dunno, Aardman and LucasArts are bigger than Penny Arcade and Homestarrunner.com. Valve is bigger also, but they also worked a lot with Telltale on Steam. I thought that all Aardman and LucasArts did was just give the license and some consultations while Telltale was working on WaG and TOMI.

Penny Arcade is seen as the most appreciated fan work and criticism, even to a degree it's known and anticipated by most game developers (such as Namco, as they asked Penny Arcade authors to draw a parody comic for their latest Tekken game, and added Penny Arcade character Cardboard Samurai as an unlockable costume for Yoshimitsu), has their own twisted humor very much alike seen in Sam and Max -which is imo very creative and spawned WAAY more than only ONE funny joke-, has a charity brand of their own named Child's Play, and running expos every year which was said to be bigger than the effing E3 this year.

It's not only one little cute webcomic, I'm afraid.

[tredlow]

We don't know yet.

True, these are all speculations. We still haven't got any solid facts about it, so as far as we know, it could just be an upcoming T-Shirt, or a poster, or even just the result of several strange coincidences, where Telltale accidentally made a teaser trailer, accidentally put it up on GameTrailers, and GameTrailers accidentally wrote about it. And on PAX, when everyone was asking about it, they go "What? what are you guys talking about?"

That happened to me once, I fell on my keyboard and accidentally produced an award winning novel, which got accidentally sent to Universal Studios, and was accidentally adapted into a movie, accidentally starring Christopher Lee. Man, life is funny that way.

Some things I noticed in the teaser image...Only two characters are holding cards, with the character to their left simply posing. I'm doubting that it'll be Texas Hold Em as well considering the two card carrying characters have specifically 3 cards each. Of course I could just be looking too far into it, and we'll know what's going on in a few days regardless.

Only Tycho and Heavy are apparently holding cards. A post I read in PA Forums made me think about it. Those may not be cards, but tickets, to be in a Telltale game, in which they can invite two more friends of theirs. That not only means it may not be a card game after all, but there might be a bazillion kajitillion of characters actually interracting with each other in a minigame fest or something better; a full 1-episode lenght point and click adventure game.

Those four characters' main features are their personalities, not their body physique. Well, POSSIBLY not the Heavy, but he's got a fun character too.

With that said, I don't think Telltale will make an action game for them, but rather just something in the sense of what they already do.

[Breakman]

Response to the video: Hmm... no. Not really interested in crossover games (mainly because 99% of the time the events happening in them are not considered cannon). If I buy it, it would only be because it has Sam and Max and if it was cheap or discounted. :/

[Icedhope]

Wow, whatever this is it's going to be the best birthday present ever.

[Vainamoinen]

Well, it's Texas Hold'em 2 all right. They're holding cards, and unless it's another card game they're doing, this is about the only possibility.

Which means that I'm not at all exited and I'll pass. :(
Gotta get more info on BTTF at PAX...

A Telltale fun racer? I'd even be in for THAT. I think the PC hasn't got enough of those, and the original Trackmania's one of my favourite games. It's also one of the few game types where I'd see the crossover idea working. There are so many incredible movie crossover failures out there...

[SillyStell]

I'll admit I'm curious by the trailer, my first reaction was "THE HEAVY?!" I don't know why I was shocked really due to the max hats and stuff. I don't really know what to think of it because well we didn't really see anything so I'm not gunna judge straight away, I'm not expecting magic though due to crossovers being so-so most of the time (cept SSBB of course) so I guess I'll wait and see, I might get it if it's cheap for just the sake of it though.

Pretty much any company could do it if they're licensing characters from other companies, like Telltale is. But yeah Sega and Capcom have been doing this all the time. Konami's tried it a few times too.

You know, they don't have to be canon to be fun. It can just be a 'what-if' story. Also, if this is a card game, then it'd basically have no plot other than four cool guys playing card.

:( A lot of people in the Telltale office like Penny Arcade, and they have many Telltale fans in their office as well.

[tredlow]

I actually prefer for this to be a card game rather than a racing game. I mean, racing's fun and all, but they don't really showcase the characters' personalities, as well as dialogue writing, which is one of the main things I look for in a Telltale game.

In Telltale Texas Hold 'Em, the four characters actually talk to each other during gameplay, and not just random responses shouted at one another. When Dudebrough talks to Boris Krinkle, he really is saying something to him, not just say some random phrase applicable to the rest of the characters, but something specifically written for these two characters to say.

I'm not sure if this can be done in racing games, because the characters hardly talk to each other other than the usual "I'm ahead of you!" phrases during gameplay. I want Max to actually talk to Strongbad, to ask about his boxing glove and compare notes on pummeling, not just say "Gotcha!" or "Eat my dust!"

Okay, maybe I'm being too harsh on racing games. I'm not saying that they lack personality or can't be funny. It's just that it feels a bit tacky for Telltale to make a game like that. Same goes for crossover party games and fighting games, actually.

Now, if it were an adventure game, it can be good, or it can turn into a cheesy Bleedman (http://badwebcomics.wikidot.com/powerpuff-girls-doujinshi)-esque story.

[Avistew]

Just so you know, I don't read Penny Arcade at all but I'm really looking forward to seeing that character done by telltale. And seeing him interact with the others and stuff.
I think there is a lot of potential there, really. And I find that crossover much more exciting than the Universal deal for instance. Even if it's just a one-episode card game or something, like seems to be the most common theory.

[Falanca]

It's true I've been reading it for only around 1 year or so, and I'm both waiting for new updates and fiddling around archives. I'm not sure about expectations of other people, but I'm always amused by any form of comics they've been making. I haven't encountered a big change myself, actually.
