Basically, what I get out of your messages is "anything that doesn't cater perfectly to what I personally want = BAD BAD BAD MOVE".

me not winning the lottery =
BAD BAD BAD move right?

TellTale had a choice, either port Sam & Max Season 3 (and ToMI) to a platform where their sales were getting lower and lower each time, or port it to a new platform where Adventure games were doing well in other countries. The choice was clear really and gave them a chance to try something new, the production of their PS3 games have been pretty good so far!

Maybe you just do not realize that S&M 1-2 were released from 1 to 2 years after the original release... S&M3, instead, is released simultaneously....
I believe that you can understand the difference in term of sales from yourself!

This is the reason why I have said many times that it is a really bad move for TT not to have a simultaneous release... at least for TOMI!

In any case, I am really courious to know how many Adventure games are already released over PSN.. and, again your data came from... where?!?!

You see, I am not talking PS3 vs X360 here ... But maybe you have learn to read not so many years ago (i.e.: you are a Youngling!)... Enjoy N4G and/or NeoGaf, please!
I am talking something different here, kid!

HAH! That's a laugh.

But what you don't seem to get is that Telltale have many more games now that they have to manage. At least they're all on at least ONE platform other than PC. That's a great accomplishment. And they'll get it on everything sooner or later.

Also, obvious troll must be obvious by now...

Many compliments for your contribution & for keep the level of the discussion higher...
It is evident that I wasn't wrong about your age...

Anyway, the point here is: I just want TOMI on XBL!!!

You can't be that old either. You were the one to start the insults first.

Sorry for insulting you in that way but you attacked me first! I'm getting either a fanboy or troll vibe off you if I'm honest though.

Nobody of you have a proof, that the adventure games are selling better on PSN, thats just fake. Ash735, if you are so smart, give us some proof.

MusicallyInspired · 06/30/2010, 10:01 am

Who ever said they sold better on PSN? All that was said was that they're focusing on PSN right now to make up for all the XBL love beforehand. The PSN users were all left out. Now they have some stuff too.

I did, sadly I got wires crossed, it's EA games and other publishers that are selling better on the PS3, no idea why I thought Adventures Games themselves were selling better on there, but my first point that Sam & Max sales got worse and worse on the Xbox is true.

Really we'd need someone from TellTale to put some balance on this, we know the Xbox Live Arcade sales for Sam & Max Season One and Two but we really have no idea how well ToMI sold on the Wii/PS3 or how well Sam & Max Season Three is doing on the PS3.

MusicallyInspired · 06/30/2010, 10:42 am

Ah I see. Well whether or not PS3 sales are better for adventures, adventures are definitely favouring the PS3 right now for whatever reason. With all the latest Telltale releases, the Monkey Island 2 Special Edition getting a day early release, and even Portal 2 getting a way better port for PS3 than the XBox version (yes, Portal is an adventure. Closer to Myst than Sierra or LucasArts adventures, yes, but an adventure nonetheless).

Portal 2 will be just same as X360 version. And sales on S&M; and W&G wast so bad, but it simply wasn't much actuall games. The reason why MI2SE is on PSN day earlier is that Sony is breaking rules. They dont have any specific day for PSN release like Xbox Live have it (XBLA Wednesday), THAT'S the reason. They have to do this thing because they cant beat Xbox Live by fair-play.

It's "unfair" to remove restrictions in order to provide a better experience to the users? Huh.

Better experience? You wanted say the same experience as on PSN and XBLA, just earlier. Sony isnt thinking about users they just want to be first because they are losing to Microsoft, so they have to find some stupid ways.

Actually the guy from Valve, who announced Portal 2 at the Sony press conference, tried to sell the idea that the PS3 version would be 'the best version on any console'. I believe those were his words.

Having said that, I doubt there will be any noticeable differences between the two but the earlier statement wasn't completely unfounded.

As for PSN 'breaking the rules' I believe they usually update on a Wednesday (at least in Europe) so that is technically their 'specific day'. I doubt XBLA has any 'set in stone' rules that wouldn't allow them to do the same thing, though I don't know why MI2: SE is coming out a day earlier on PSN.

As for the rest of this thread, Telltale are doing better than ever. Updated engine, NBC deal, three new possible series on the horizon, have at least one game on every system and finally all home consoles.

Bad business decisions? No.

I have never said, that it was bad business decision. And XBLA Wednesdays are set in stone, it was from begining and its still the same. Only Sony has to play on big boys change the dates. They dont have usially update, they are just doing what the want, like some kids.

I stopped addressing your post when I said "As for the rest of this thread..." The OP was suggesting it was a bad business decision

And Sony update their store every Wednesday, like I said. Business is business, the idea is to try and get one up on the competition. It's not like Microsoft haven't had exclusivity rights to things in the past or released certain titles a bit earlier than the competition.

Just enjoy your console dude and chill out

MusicallyInspired · 07/01/2010, 07:24 am

The reason Portal 2 will be better on the PS3 is because it will be integrated with Steam (SteamCloud, community interaction, connected to your Steam account, etc). The XBox won't be connected to Steam. Personally, I'm rather excited for it.

Didero · 07/01/2010, 09:21 am

Valve games will still be the best on the PC though, since with Steam getting patches and additional content out is easier than on consoles (see also: TF2), and modding is as far as I know only possible on PC.

Better experience as in "not holding things back arbitrarily", and it is in absolutely no way "stupid" to allow developers to set their own release schedule. Quit being a fanboy.

PS: Staying competitive is the name of the game, doing "stupid" things to make your console more attractive than the alternative benefits the consumer greatly, as it will encourage 360 to also do "stupid" things to improve their service.
