Telltale Games

Harald B · 07/15/2008, 12:46 am

At E3, Microsoft announced a South Park game for XBLA - without mentioning the developer. Here's a (somewhat lame) teaser trailer. Could this be the "mystery franchise" we've been speculating about?
With no gameplay images and no additional information it's hard to tell, but it would certainly fit like a glove. It's as huge as implied, it would explain the secrecy and the license would fit Telltale well. Also, XBLA suits episodic (no confirmation yet on this one being episodic, though) and we know Telltale doesn't like to be bound to any single distribution platform.
It's still speculation, but it's easily the most plausible theory so far.

That'd be epic. I'm one of the 5 people who actually liked the N64 SP games

xChri5x · 07/15/2008, 01:06 am

Could very well be it. I'm a casual fan of the show and find it hilarious, but if it does turn out to be the series, I was kind of hoping for something really different then what they've been working on so far.

I'm hoping to get some co-op between the 4 boys, also I'd like some game play on top of all the inside jokes like Simpsons hit & run, as opposed to the family guy game which was funny but basically sucked all around otherwise.

I would love to make a South Park game. But no, this one isn't ours.

ShaggE · 07/15/2008, 05:33 am

Aww.

<.<

Is it.... Monkey Island, then? *hides from the ensuing wrath*

xChri5x · 07/15/2008, 05:37 am

Well, at least they told us. If the correct title is guessed, nothing will be said to deny or confirm it! We'll know for sure then.

Tjibbbe · 07/15/2008, 06:31 am

In that case, I'm still going with Discworld. You all just wait! If it isn't Discworld, I'm going to eat my own kidney. You can quote me on that.

Badwolf · 07/15/2008, 06:38 am

Only if Rincewind appears and is played by Eric Idle.

Actually, a new Discworld game would be rad anyway, but that'd make it even radder.

Botap · 07/15/2008, 07:28 am

I agree wholeheartedly. Terry Pratchett has been one of my biggest influences, so another Discworld game, in any form, would be welcomed. I wouldn't need Rincewind necessarily, but Death as a major character would be a must.

Guybrush Threepwood · 07/15/2008, 08:15 am

I actually thought that when I was watching E3. I really hate South Park anyway, so thanks for settling my thoughts Emily!

**Jake** · 07/15/2008, 08:33 am

Like everything else Telltale-related, we'll definitely update the forums and the blogs when a real announcement happens. Emily and I are usually champing at the bit to tell you guys everything, so the moment any cat is officially out of any bag, we'll be rushing to spread the news.

In other news, does anyone know what WiiWare games have been released today?

South Park... ON THE N64?!?!?!?ALSO KNOWN AS THE KIDDY CONSOLE?!!?!?!?!

Botap · 07/15/2008, 09:09 pm

N64 had some great games. And since my friends and I invented a couple of Goldeneye-related drinking games, I would say the console was enjoyable for more than just kids.

And I, too, owned and liked the South Park game. It was shallow and seemed hastily thrown together, but it was still fun to make other players dance by shooting them with the alien device.
