I've uploaded the new GameTap trailer for Episode 4.
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/read_article.php?topic_id=25383313&union_id=936
Update:
GameSpot took down both the GameTap and Telltale trailers I posted today (as well as most of the Sam and Max content I had previously uploaded over the past few months). They have sent me several messages warning me that I have violated the Terms of Service of their site.
This is unfortunate, as I like to post them at GameSpot to help the Sam and Max games get more exposure. :(
Update2:
I've uploaded the video at another site.

What are your thoughts on it? Would I want to watch it if I'm avoiding very blantant spoilers?

Our trailer will be going up today also. Ours is fairly spoiler-free, also. For that matter, though, the Gametap one isn't bad.

Oooo, awesome, looks like things are finally getting more epic now. We may get our "Sam and Max in outer space" finale yet! :D
Telltale's ep 4 trailer is now up on our Abe Lincoln Must Die! (http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax/lincolnmustdie) page as well. Enjoy :)

Hehe! Thx a lot! Love it!

Oh my, I love both trailers! Sheer brilliance! All hail Max!
I also love the little details. Seems like Max decided to add an extra state (Canada? Mexico? Micronesia?), Bosco is now a communist (yay! that should be fun, with terms like glasnost, perestroika, and vodka being flung about), and is that American flag on the sky background an homage to Day of the Tentacle, or do my eyes deceive me?
Also! High res WMV download of the Telltale trailer available here (http://files.telltalegames.com/samandmax/videos/lincolnmustdie/samandmax_episode4_trailer.zip).
And nope, it's not a reference to DOTT. I mean, if you want it to be one, it could be. It's mostly a reference to the majesty of an American flag with an extra star stitched on though.

Can't wait! Both the video and the screenshots look very promising, especially the screenshot of Sam by the pool. Looks very... Sam & Max-ish :)

AWESOME! :D

This looks like the best episode of the season. It's more epic, and for some reason its given me a whole Day of the Tentacle flashback warm fuzzy feeling.
Haha Hero I just noticed your sig. Nice reference to the carnie tattoo from the comics.

Can't agree more, looks like one of the best locations so far. Kinda like a weird mix between outside bumpusville and the mystery vortex.

Ah, cool. You guys added more scenes. The trailer seems more ambigious than trailers from previous eps. Cool

I don't I've ever read a sam and max story focusing on politics... Has there ever been one? Because there's DEFINITELY a lot of comedic potential there! :D

Unrelated to this thread, but I realized from watching the telltale trailer that chuckles look like an american version of Conroy Bumpus. I mean if ya remove the after shave and dyed his hair, he can be a clone of Conroy
Kefky

Doesn't seem as short, though. :)
He reminds of the classic "mr. smith" "men in black" stereotype, though.
Oh. My. Gawd!
That trailer had me wondering where everything was going with this upcoming episode to the point where I can't wait! Well, I can, because I paid for it already, but you know what I mean.
Episode 4 looks like it will be a lot of fun.:D

At first I was a bit unhappy that Bosco has disguised himself with yet another stereotypical nationality, but I hope you guys make up for it with some properly botched Russian Reversal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Reversal)s. :D

Well this is the best trailer I have seen. Really interesting, and explains why episode 3 was too short I guess.

Agreed. And you could have ShaggE help you. But in Soviet Russia, you helps ShaggE!
Now you see why I didn't volunteer to help myself. I did it incorrectly in so many ways...

In Soviet Russia, my ass is laughing ME off at this thread!

In Soviet Russia, the thread posts YOU!
Or was that just too obvious? I only found out about these things when I read the above post so I can see myself using them far more often than is good for me, or you.
In Soviet Russia, good is far more often...no that doesn't work.

The worse the reversal, the better. For instance:
"In Soviet Russia, television watches YOU!" wouldn't be as good, since the joke actually makes sense. (As Yakov Smirnoff intended his reversals to.)
"In Soviet Russia, coffee drinks YOU!" is better, because it makes no damn sense at all, thus effectively parodizing Smirnoff's humour.
This Tutorial on Russian Reversals brought to you by: ShaggE! The name psychopaths trust!

FINALLY!
Telltale has got the writing in the Sam and Max games, but so far, the stories haven't moved enough into surreal territory. This is it! This is the game that moves Sam and Max into the place where they belong; a bizarre and frightening alternate universe where reality has been tossed around like particles in a snow globe!

Yeah I'm pretty excited about this one too :)

In Soviet Russia, snow globes shake YOU!
Anyway, are you saying the nations capital is surreal territory and/or an alternate universe?
Well, they did turn my home city into Bumpusville when they could have made it look like they were going to Memphis. That surreal enough?

Ha ha ha ha! Episode 4 looks like it's going to be the best one yet! :D I like it where the secret service agents dance in the video. They look like puppets on strings. I bet this one will get lots of awards in the reviews.

About the telltale's trailer, if someone can help a poor little french guy (Me)...
At the end of the trailer, what does "Stay frosty, America!" want to mean?
If nobody can give me a translation, maybe can you give me an equivalent?

It's Max' silly excessive way of saying "stay cool" (you do understand what that means, right?). Literally translated by givré, "frosty" exagerrates the literal meaning of "cool" (even though that's not sense used here, which is the point of the joke..).
lerenwe
02/21/2007, 02:07 pm
So, it's a joke that I can't translate in french, okay...
Thanks to you two, I understand now :)

Oops, maybe it was out of spec and they were doing them a favor before the mailman noticed. ;)
