Telltale Games

Maratanos · 03/17/2007, 11:46 am

It's out.

(obligatory extra letters)

numble · 03/17/2007, 12:02 pm

How spoilery? (if any)

numble · 03/17/2007, 12:13 pm

Also, any reason why it is a 5-week difference between releases this time around? Was it (pre-planned) because of GDC?

Udvarnoky · 03/17/2007, 12:14 pm

That's not easy to say without having played the game. For example it wasn't clear how many puzzle solutions were in their Culture Shock trailer until you saw them in context.

numble · 03/17/2007, 12:16 pm

That's true, but sometimes tabacco or somebody comes around and says "It's not very bad" or "Spoilers ahead."

tabacco · 03/17/2007, 12:40 pm

It's not very bad

I saw it about a week ago, so maybe it's changed since then (although I doubt it), but it didn't give many puzzles away. It *will* spoil some environments, though, so if you prefer total surprise, I'd avoid all trailers

I think the Gametap trailer for Abe Lincoln Must Die was pretty good, it didn't reveal Abe Lincoln and it had a sorta-fake puzzle (Sam continuously shooting the mailbox).

But then they gave it away on the Infocard...

So it was moot, unfortunately.

Speaking of which, can Telltale try to make sure there are no spoilers on GameTap's infocards, either?

AdamG · 03/17/2007, 01:39 pm

Where's the trailer? :/

Just out of the reach of non-Gametappers. Now I know how Tantalus must have felt...

Curse my inevitable ability to not access GameTap related to my location on the Earth!

tabacco · 03/17/2007, 02:21 pm

We don't really have direct control over the infocard copy. As far as I know, all we can do is ask them nicely to change it.

Maratanos · 03/17/2007, 02:42 pm

Something cool, but possibly spoilery:

It seems that the Episode-specific location(s) will be overlayed on top of the base neighborhood. Reality 2.0, indeed.

*Hero1* · 03/17/2007, 04:03 pm

can anyone give me a brief description of what episode 5 is about

It's about two freelance detectives trying to unravel a mystery about hypnotism in the USA.

You had it coming!

Maratanos · 03/17/2007, 05:04 pm

Virtual Reality.

That's about all we've been given.

AdamG · 03/17/2007, 05:14 pm

I have Gametap, but I don't see a trailer for Episode 5 on it? :/ I checked the Episode 5 "Comming Soon" details and all I got was a photo inside Sybils.

*Hero1* · 03/17/2007, 05:16 pm

Interesting! I hope they pick up a sword(max) and get to slay a dragon

tabacco · 03/17/2007, 05:24 pm

I actually couldn't find the trailer in Gametap either. Are you sure it's up?

AdamG · 03/17/2007, 05:31 pm

Maybe it was up for awhile and Telltale told them to take it down?
