Telltale Games

Will multiplayer be added at a later date?

I REALLY want to play against friends on my Steam friends-list!

Maybe those who would like to see multiplayer could add their names and show support for the feature?

I dont see why multiplayer cant be in.

PetiteBiere · 09/04/2010, 10:25 am

I also would like multiplayer to be added, especially since I bought the game on Steam.

I think that if there's going to be a multiplayer mode it should be available to both Telltale and Steam versions.

Of course, but it's easier to implement a multiplayer mode on Steam (I think)

Not sure. I think Steam has a server list component available, but I'm not sure how it would be implemented, or if the different releases would be inter-compatible with each other (Probably will be, though).

The multiplayer would have nothing to do with Steam unless they use Steam servers, which they probably won't considering it's not a Valve/Source Engine game.

i bet you can also do it with you telltale forum friends

well yeah. you could do that in any multiplayer form so that isnt even the problem.

leveller · 09/05/2010, 02:26 am

I've been trying to think about how multiplayer could work. Anyone remember being able to alter your own funds in MSN poker? So to stop cheats abusing the game there would have to be a server containing stats/cash etc. Things are getting complicated!

But if it could happen would it interest people?

Multiplayer for a poker game is pretty easy tech wise, unlike truly realtime games like FPSs. For poker you need very little more than a glorified IRC system with a server that keeps track of peoples money, cards, etc.

But, somehow I don't think TTG will be including a multiplayer mode, just doesn't seem their style.

it will not be multiplayer

Where did they say that. If you are making it up then you should delete what you said.

I could be wrong, but Im pretty sure that just means that it was confirmed to have a single player mode(obviously) and if telltale announces multiplayer, it will be updated. Although I could still be wrong.

Will · 09/07/2010, 12:40 pm

No, Seibert is right. As of right now it's a singleplayer game, much like Telltale Texas Hold'em was. I'm not going to say it won't ever happen, but it's definitely not a simple proceedure to turn a game from single player to multiplayer. Never say never though.

Everlast · 09/10/2010, 05:26 pm

TTG has a tight community a game like this or a pletora of sport minigames like this for fans of TTG would be cool. I know its not cool to make it multiplayer just for forum players, but still it would be a nice way for all of us to get together in a fun game.

snip3rfire · 09/12/2010, 07:40 am

If you go back and play Telltale Texas Hold' em you should be able to see the kind of game play Telltale will most-likely be attempting to recreate in the recently announced Poker Night. And if they were to add multiplayer into a game that relies on NPCs and their dialog, I think that would really kill off a lot of its charm.

thesporkman · 09/12/2010, 12:10 pm

Yeah, multiplayer would pretty much ruin everything fun and unique about the game.

Yeah, but playing against AI would pretty much ruin everything fun and unique about poker!

And no, if every (human) player could pick up a character, you could be able to select phrases from the characters repertiore, which again could be more fun than a AI dialog system, but we'll see…
