Sam & Max 203: Night of the Raving Dead

Hey hey! Sam & Max episode 203 is almost here, and we've posted the trailer, some screenshots, a piece of concept art, and a blot of teaser text to the Night of the Raving Dead website. Also, there's a blog post. It was potentially inaccurately paraphrased to me that the core of this episode was originally conceived by Steve Purcell,* who, when asked what should be in Season Two, blurted out "Eurotrash vampires." So, there you go.

Take a look at the new stuff, and discuss away!


* And Heather!

WOOOOOOOOOOOH!



Okay. I'm done.

Oh yeah!

*weeps openly*

Jawoll!

Oh the beginning looks very good and makes you even feel a little bit like in a Murnau/Schreck movie but as soon as the colour and the rave jumps in the magic is over and it more reminded me of the popular demo by farbrausch ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq-aLBNwpPQ ).

Would have been very cool to play a game in the silent movie style!

By the way shouldn't "dead" be "Toten" instead of "Todes"? Would be "Die Nacht der ausgeflippten Toten" then (plural). Also "Freiberufliche Polizei" sounds more reasonable than "Unabhängige Polizei".

That... that... that might just be the best trailer ever, for any game.

haha, that was ..amm... RAVING trailer! the best trailer evahh!

Awesome!

I thought the trailer for Moai was the best one, but this is even better. :D
I think it really catches the Sam & Max delirium. I am especially intrigued by the screenshot with that new arcade sequence...
P.S.: What's the vampire saying at the end? "Look at me, I'm so..."?

My sources tell me he says, "Look at me, I'm so edgy and subversive."

:D:D:D
Thanks.

For one sweet moment, i thought that maybe the whole episode would be in black & white. That would have been fantastic.

Did I see that screen shot right? Are we going to have a Paper Boy mini-game involving delivering CDs to the undead at break-neck speeds? That's going to be one nice mini-game!:D

The vampire sounds like a Sacha Baron Cohen character. :D

EDIT: If you go to GameTap, you'll see a hint of more things to come like the return of the Commissioner, the next Desoto upgrade (which I'm happy to see finally), the reuse of the Secret Service dance from 104, Sam's Banjo, and a Sam & Max meets GTA scenario with the new mini-game.

lookin good. the driving minigame looks refreshingly new

I saw a screenshot showing evidence of Sybil's bitterness toward Lincoln after the events of Moai Better Blues

OMGWTFLOL! Best trailer ever. Love the silent movie effect, the "German" (ish?) title cards [with great approximate English translations] and the music.... and then we do get a little bit of a picture of our new Vampire character. This is indeed going to be a very very good episode, I can tell already! :)

can't wait, it made me wanna break down and dance... and i did... and people saw.... and they laughed. but i can't hold my lack of dance skills against sam and max, i still can't wait! and good for me i barely have to, only two weeks till it comes out! aren't episodic games the best! viva telltale, viva SAM AND MAX!

Yeah, I've already been all over the translation... and by the way, the best translation for "Freelance Police" would be "Freischaffende Polizei"... ("freiberuflich" passt grammatikalisch nicht so ganz... oder heißt das semantisch? egal... ;) )

Correct me if I am wrong, but were you guys inspired by Castlevania in the creation of that vampire character? He looks so much like Issac from Curse of Darkness in both behavior (being a bit flamboyant) and appearance despite that the vampire in S&M doesn't have tattoos.

Thumbs... through... nipple rings...
AAAAAGHHHH!!!!

Steve Purcell and Dave Bogan might have been inspired by that, but more likely both characters go back to a more common vampire archetype... I think this mostly because I don't know if Steve has played that game.

Fantastic trailer! And fantastic Castlevania connection, doom saber.
