That's the key point, though. Once The Devil's Playhouse is finished, the future's not looking good.

I really think we can do without the Nazi stuff, okay?

Because they have an amazing opportunity to make 2 game series based on franchises that many people are huge fans of, the future isn't looking good?

For a very small minority of Telltale Fans. But they sure can yell!

How can you say the future's not looking good when they've already put the wonderful Pilot Program in place?

Yeah, I'm not sold on that either, but I'd never even heard of Graham Annable before Puzzle Agent was announced, so take that for what you will. I'm still willing to give Puzzle Agent a try, and I'll even try to give Back to the Future the benefit of the doubt, but it's going to take a lot to sell me on Jurassic Park.

You've sounded cranky on the last two posts, are you going to need a nap?

It's going to take a lot for me too, but at least I can do is give it a try and if I don't like it, then I don't have to play it ever again.

You're not a very big Telltale fan if you hadn't heard of Annable before last month.

*GuruGuru214* · 06/09/2010, 06:47 pm

I guess I just don't see Jurassic Park as a worthwhile franchise. The first movie was decent, but the other two went from bad to worse, the book just confused the hell out of me when I attempted to read it (though I may have been too young for it at the time), and the last two video games I've played based on it were not exactly positive experiences. I'd certainly expect Telltale to produce a superior title to those, but...like I said, it's going to take a lot to sell me on anything derived from Jurassic Park, no matter who is making it.

No, it's just a severe case of tunnel vision, though I admit that I didn't really cross the line into Telltale fandom until around last November.

Can I get a "Hell yeah!" now?

I had barely seen anything W&G related before TTG made Grand Adventures, yet it was a day one purchase and I've never regretted it. I hadn't watched a Strong Bad toon in nearly 5 years when they announced SBCG4AP, yet it was a day one purchase also, and I also never regretted that. I've never watched an episode of CSI yet I have played and completed all 3 of TTG's CSI games, and enjoyed them thoroughly.

As far as I'm concerned, Telltale have yet to disappoint me in anything, even licenses I didn't really care much about or didn't think would make a good game.

I don't think you have anything to worry about...

Expect the unexpected!

This appears to be confirmation of Tales of Monkey Island season 2 for next summer.

Or I could just be wildly speculating.

Give telltale a chance for other types of games guys. Hell it's not like their adventure games are going anywhere and who knows it might kick ass. Just as long as it's not survival horror (I am looking at you dino crisis).

But I expect these games to be adventure games and I expect Telltale to go on making adventure games. So if I expect that then that means I shouldn't expect that? Or were you referring to everyone else, meaning the one snot expecting that, meaning w should expect that.

Do you own CSI? No? Cool. Not every Telltale game is going to be made specifically to suit your exact interests. Don't play the ones you don't want to, but don't act like they're going to give up on adventure games and classics, because that couldn't be further from the truth.

They were FOUNDED to make classic adventure games, they're not going to turn their backs on it.

MusicallyInspired · 06/09/2010, 09:56 pm

I don't think TTG's main focus in their games have ever been solely adventure-based, but rather focused primarily on interactive, cinematic, story-driven games. With puzzles. Period. That doesn't have to mean point&click adventures. Which lately it's really proven that it isn't, what with the new control scheme, Puzzle Agent, and now the Universal licenses.
