Considering there's this screenshot:

I would bet that it's just text.

*Irishmile* · 05/06/2010, 03:08 pm

Yeah that is the screen that made me believe it may just be text.

Heh, I like all the TTG people who've voted "Looks Great"!

They can be either public or private, it will say at the top if it's a public poll.

I probably skip voting on the public ones about half the time.

*Irishmile* · 05/06/2010, 03:23 pm

I am still kind of on the fence about this one.... I am worried I will not get my $10 worth.

**puzzlebox** · 05/06/2010, 03:25 pm

No harm in waiting, Irishmile... just see what people say about it in a month's time. I'm sure there'll be no shortage of opinions.

I saw a commercial for Trauma Team that had word balloons AND spoken lines.
Of course it was an ad, and it's not that uncommon for them to put spoken lines in them when there are none in the games.
But I thought it worked fine. So while I also think it probably has no spoken dialogue, I don't think that spoken dialogue + word balloons would work badly.

Why would anybody at Telltale be reluctant to say it looks great? The company probably wouldn't be making the game if most of the people involved weren't already fans of Graham's work!

Especially when the cutscenes look almost exactly like Graham's own cartoons.

They definitely shouldn't be reluctant to say it looks great... because it does!

I like the way all the TTG people on here seem genuinely excited/pleased when they talk about stuff the company is working on. It's cool and shows you are doing something very right.

On the subject of text versus voice, it could also be that the speech bubbles are a replacement of the subtitles. So there's voice, AND text. That would be a pretty novel way to handle subtitles in my opinion.

axelkothe · 05/07/2010, 12:23 am

I hope it has voices, but I can live without em

Rather Dashing · 05/07/2010, 12:25 am

I really hope it doesn't have voices. Voices in a Grickle game just...doesn't seem right.

Alcoremortis · 05/07/2010, 12:29 am

Unless they're monkey voices!

I'm not sure about this, but I think you can turn the voices off and just use the subtitles (or in this case: text balloons) in every Telltale game so far. I've never tried playing it without voices, but there you go.

I don't know if I want Nelson to talk or not. It would be odd for a character like that to have an actual human voice, but then again, everything about this project so far has been (pleasantly) odd. Maybe the characters all talk in some sort of Animal Crossing-like gibberish. That would make it easier to localize the game at least.

This video game looks great and I'm going to buy it and tell all my friends to buy it. It's great. Buy it.

I would not mind at all if the monkey screech made a cameo appearance.

I notice Jake didn't vote "Looks Great!" Maybe he wants to wait and give it a chance, or maybe...gasp!...he thinks it looks BAD!
