Game-Style?

Monkey Island, Sam and Max, Wallis & Gromit. Why only make games that are cartoony? Why take a movie that is not a cartoon and turn it into one within a video game?

Did you miss the CSI screenshot I posted?

Edit: Something I just remembered that's going to drive you crazy. Watch the original Jurassic Park again. Specifically, watch the scene with Nedry and the Dilophosaurus. When Nedry slips and falls down the hill, listen very carefully to the sound effect the foley artists chose for that moment.

Now tell me Jurassic Park isn't a cartoon. :P

Good at the time "toon" style graphics age a lot better the good at the time "realistic" style graphics. Case in point Okami V.S. Halo 1.

I still don't see your problem with the graphics. Who cares what the graphics look like anyway. As long as the game is fun.

I want you to pick your favortie modern game that you play a lot. If that game had bad graphics, would you honestly not like it as much as you do now?

Edit:
Let's take a step back for a moment. Going by what TellTale has done so far they often use the look and design that best fits the game. Wallis and Gromit looked like the original short films, Monkey Island and Sam and Max had there look, and CSI had the televison shows look. Why should we expect any less with Jurassis Park? What ever story they're going with I'm sure they're going to keep the look of what we saw in the movies like every other Jurassic Park game did.

I'm guessing that the games won't be the movies, just similar to the movies, just curious what the plot is, i'm also curious of the plot to back to the future as well as the poll is closed now, so i can't find out any plots at all. Could you maybe post the possible plots please? It doesn't even have to be the right one.

That's obvious and that's what I've been telling people all along, TT is a professional company after all, there's no reason why the JP game couldn't look like it should. I agree with you 100 %.

I want you to pick your favortie modern game that you play a lot. If that game had bad graphics, would you honestly not like it as much as you do now?

A lot of people wouldn't like a game with bad graphics, I know that. Even when the Alien vs Predator 3 trailers started coming out people were already complaining about the graphics even if the game looked good enough for what it did.

Monkey Island, Sam and Max, Wallis & Gromit. Why only make games that are cartoony?

Damn, I must be talking about the wrong company then , how silly of me.

Can you help me then? Can you tell me who did those CSI games?

Why take a movie that is not a cartoon and turn it into one within a video game?

Wait, they already released ingame footage of JP? OMG you have to show then to me!

I'm not directly aiming that at Sam & Max, but more rather just the entire of tell tale games' library.

*uff* Just like the tipical uninformed guy you're assuming that next TT games are going to look like that just because most (not all!) of their games are cartoony. And BTW, I still think that even with the cartoon looks Sam & Max and Monkey Island are more mature than Gears of War or Halo.

Just to humor you:

Gears of War, Unreal Tournament, BulletStorm. Why only make games that have aliens and men with steroids? :P

Are you joking? Seriously? "Now tell me Jurassic Park isn't a cartoon"
Wow, unbelievable.
So right, because the slipping sound is comical, it makes Jurassic Park a cartoon? Is that what your implying?

Drive me crazy? Lmao no, I've come across silly people a lot on my time on the internet.

And CSI? Have you seen the reviews of that? It's good for screen shots, sure, but it's not good for actually playing! Check out the game reviews, it'll "drive you crazy.".

[jp-30]

I know one thing we can do to improve this place...

[Trenchfoot]

Who cares about the design of the web and the forums? It's just there. I just come here to check updates on their games, and to chat about them.

JP-Legacy hasn't a great desing either, you know?

I think I'll stick with JPOG a 7 year old game with graphics 10 times better.

Fortunately for everyone involved, the Telltale Jurassic Park game won't look like either of those screenshots.

Yes, we all know that what a few reviews have to say regarding the graphics of a game from 2006 completely invalidates any possibility that a game released in 2011 will be fun to play and true to the source material.

And nobody really claimed the graphics in CSI were necessarily good, they just said they weren't cartoony, despite your implication that cartoony is all Telltale will ever do.

What?

And I'm pretty sure people was implying the graphics were indeed good.

[guitarsareboring]

Never fails to amaze me how angry and argumentative people get about video games.

Universal has licensed Telltale to make this and I'm sure the announcement wouldn't have been made official until the company had shown them example of what they can do. If Universal thought the results weren't of a high standard they would have turned to another company.

Gotta love them graphicwhores Screw the story and gameplay! It's all good as long as it looks like a photograph.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

It isn't a good game unless you have to buy a brand new ultra-powerful computer in order to play it.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I'm gonna make a game about staring at a basketball, the game will be 20gb because the textures will all be photographed using the latest, most high-res cameras avalible, then skinned onto a model made from a 3D scan of a real basketball. I'll then set the ball on a high-res picture of a basketball court.

Plot? what plot!? We have the ultimate in high-res gaming here, we dont need a plot!

I'm betting it will sell a million copies! (the scary part is I bet it WOULD sell a certain number of copies *just* because it would be "the ultimate in high-res gaming")

The problem with games that require quick action is that often if you miss the action the game is screwed. Sometimes you will see the action early in the game and it will be hours and hours down the road until you find out "oh crap I should have done X back at the beginning!" and you have to re-start. (my favorite example: Kings Quest V, you walk into town and see a dog chasing a rat. You dont know your supposed to do something here (i.e. save teh rat) and you dont know what TO do (you must find the shoe first) but if you fail the save the rat, you can complete the entire first 1/4-1/3 of the game without even knowing you needed to, then your screwed!)

Lets not forget that some of us will forget to save and have to start over or return to a save-point from hours earlier...

Personally I hope it's a puzzle game where, as exampled earlier, the Dino will wait by the door until you find the way out.

As for plot/setting, while I think a sandbox game would be awesome, I think it's going to be a lot more puzzle-based with only a little action, at most. I'm still expecting a LA-style adventure game, perhaps with some combat system built in (ala QfG) as the most adventure.

On a side note, has anyone else thought about this and thought JP would make an amusing MMORPG?

EDIT:
JPOG has aged well, I see games released today with graphics FAR worse than that... *coughcoughWoWcoughcough* 'scuse me, had a tickle in my throat

Okay, I just wanted to thank you for bringing this up, because that's stuck out in my mind for my entire life. Why did they use the quintessential slipping cartoon sound effect there? rofl

Seriously, it's something I've never forgotten.

I'm willing to be bet it was put in there as an Easter-egg/inside joke/etc thinking that most people (such as myself) wouldn't notice it amidst the rest of the action.

[waroftheworlds01]

Yeah, because I didn't notice it untill I read it here and then went go watch it to see if it was really there. It is. lol

You have to include a sick spinning animation, motion capture from MJ himself of course.

[ManOnTheMoon]

Evil rex, what happened man? You're an okay guy over on Jurassic Park Legacy, but to thank these hardworking developers, trying to bring life in a dying franchise, you troll them. Bravo. You sure make us other fans of Jurassic Park look credible.

Also, hi other people of this forum, big fan of the S&M series and can't wait to play the new JP and BTTF games
