Telltale Games

Icedhope · 02/21/2011, 09:24 pm

Sure, I can explain it all in this post.

1. When you buy straight from Telltale the profits go straight to telltale.
2. When you buy it from steam, telltale only gets about a certain percentages. If you play on steam a lot download them from here and add them to your steam library. It's what I do.

I think Downloading from steam and TTG both have their advantages for instance.

When you download directly from TTG, in runs and installs straight on your computer..the down side is logging into your account here for the DRM, you only have to do it once, but it still takes time, rather than getting straight to the game.

On steam you have to pay a little more, but it's always on your account and has to go through Steams DRM of just logging into your account. Bad side of that is logging into your steam account every time you want to play, instead of just clicking on the desktop image.

I actually find that Telltale games clutter up your Steam library. I pre-ordered The Devil's Playhouse through Telltale but to get tf2 items you had to activate the game on Steam. All five episodes are sitting in my Steam library with their individual shortcuts. I don't even play them through Steam :S

Oh yeah, it seems that is happening with BTTF, my first downloadable purchased game from TT but I dont mind because i can handle 4 extra links if the game is as entertaining as BTTF is turning out to be... can't wait for ep 3 and Jurassic Park ep1!

I'm starting to hope it does run on my laptop. I mean, I've run a lot of game on my laptop so far with no problem but some newer games won't run cause of my graphics card. And I can't upgrade my graphics card cause it's a laptop.

You can see the system requirements here. http://store.steampowered.com/app/94..._7_suggest__13

Well, I will have to upgrade my pc before the game's release - as soon as I'm absolutely sure I'll buy it.

When exactly will the game be released? At the beginning of April?

It's hard to say...could be the begining could, could be the middle, could be the end...we will find out hopefully two weeks before the game is launched.

Trenchfoot · 02/25/2011, 06:08 am

It will probably be the last week of April, I think.

so it will be released in europe with some hours of delay?

No delay. The game will be released at the same exact moment worldwide. But keep in mind that the same moment doesn't mean the same time.
So, just imagine that Telltale releases the game when in California is Tuesday April 12, 17:00.
Then, in Spain and Italy the time would be Wednesday April 13, 02:00.
The hours are different, but it's the same moment, no delay.

If by free you mean $29.99 than yes, you are getting them all for free

rixcm · 02/26/2011, 12:53 am
