Telltale Games

BiggerJ · 07/10/2008, 06:01 pm

Well, since the new devblog is about dealing with the ESRB, it looks like it might be a clue as to why the game got delayed. The ESRB probably said that if Telltale doesn't implement a long list of required changes, they'll have to invent an all-new 'Frowny-Face' rating just for this game!

I love it when people who are paid to do a job manage to find new ways to fail and delay themselves into obscurity. I bet you're already learning how to program in Windows Mobile so you can get a jump on the Blackberry game design market.

Why do you keep coming back to that? There's no reason this game should get an M rating, let alone anything high enough to require changes. Telltale probably just delayed it to put finishing touches on it so it's as good as it can be before release.

I all seriousness though I am rather curious as to why telltale is being so tight lipped about release dates, pricing and the development process. In reality this is a game that doesn't require any major coding, as the engine for the PC version is looking the same as the engine Sam and Max uses, and developing games for the Wii really isn't effort intensive either. So in reality I bet the hold up is the brothers chaps have had some problems with the quality (or lack of) in the game because lets face it, its not like adventure game development is on par with the rest of the industry in terms of time and effort needed.

Now that's some professional forum trolling

OK, then please educate me on to what I am wrong about, because I'm really curious as to what the problem is in releasing a game on time thats nothing more than a re-skin of a series you've been regurgitating for the past 2 years.

How long do you plan to go on with this?
Because we're more than capable of ignoring you.

So can I add you in with the list of people who ignore the obvious, like holocaust deniers and Ron Raul supporters?

tabacco · 07/10/2008, 06:52 pm

Okay, that's about enough of that. Back on topic please.

TomSuperman · 07/10/2008, 08:32 pm

When they delayed Superman for its controls, its controls still sucked.

okay, i'll get right to it. the topic is: delayed until july. can you even call this a delay, since there was no fixed release date in the first place?

but, you can never know how much it might have sucked without the delay...maybe it would have sucked black-hole-style.

Dangerzone · 07/11/2008, 05:23 pm

It would not surprise me if we did not got any release date announcement at all...

I can see it now, all of a sudden someone comes online and says the game will be released the following afternoon...

Thnikkaman · 07/11/2008, 05:33 pm

I can only think of the future: coming out july 28. It would most likley be the best answer that gives it about 2 weeks: 1 for finishing, the other for submitting.

KarmaRocketX · 07/11/2008, 06:13 pm

The game is coming out on Blaptember 45th, 2032

Rather Dashing · 07/11/2008, 06:17 pm

Well, the last dev blog was about the ESRB ratings board. So, it's apparently done and just jumping through the hoops of publishing.

So I'd give it two weeks tops. But that's just my guesstimate.

TrogLlama · 07/11/2008, 06:32 pm

I'm gonna guess that it comes out Monday.
'Cause I want it to, that's why!

Well, I just read earlier that "Major League Eating" is supposed to come out Monday, and I think another WiiWare game was announced for Monday as well. I don't think they've released three games in one week before (besides launch week), so unfortunately I don't think it will be this Monday. I would love to be wrong, though, because the sooner we get Episode 1, the sooner we get Episodes 2-5.
