Telltale Games

Shadowknight1 · 11/22/2012, 06:50 am

Well, I never played any of the old LucasArts adventure games, so to be honest, franchises like Monkey Island and Sam & Max don't mean all that much to me. I found out about this company because of Back to the Future, and as much as people complained about it, I was happy to have a good Back to the Future game(that wasn't a GTA mod) to wash out the taste of the old NES titles. Jurassic Park had a good story and graphical presentation, though the QTEs were a bit...much, especially on an older computer like me, they sometimes glitched. Now, from what I've seen by following playthroughs, The Walking Dead is pretty good. I hope they continue to do well.

BTTF could be good if there will be REAL management of time. Now, with TT engine capable of taking different branches of stories, a sequel could be a better game than the first one.

BTW, I hope new offices and new employees means also a step in tech quality (performance, animations, refinement) instead of just more projects in the pipeline.

I'd disagree.. but I'd be off topic.

Well, the topic does say "hints at future" in it!

Out with the old, and in with the new. You make the mistake of thinking we still matter.

We made them what they are today, certainly they wouldn't forget us.

Hopefully once they work through this huge list of licenses, they'll get back to fun, humor-filled adventure games like SBCG4AP and Sam & Max.
Maybe a larger Telltale's a good sign. It's possible they could have more than one series going at one time.

Those are licensed too. In fact, I don't know that TTG has done anything not based on an existing franchise outside of Puzzle Agent.

Puzzle Agent is licensed too. It's based on Graham Annable's Grickle cartoons.

Telltale Texas Hold 'Em is still Telltale's only completely original game.

der_ketzer · 11/23/2012, 05:45 am

And that's based on the popular Texas Holdem rules. Can you really call a card game an original thing at all?

I'm still waiting for Strip Poker Night at the Inventory.

You can call it not licensed.

And I feel like Wellgolly was referring specifically to this huge list of licenses, since they haven't really done anything else since that list was announced.

Of course it would be even more fun to tackle BTTF:TG2 in 2015 (just for the sakes of it), having us intervene with the movie's alternate 1985 plotline.

I'm still keeping my hopes up for more TOMI and a fourth season of S&M.

It's a manic hope, but I'm right there with you.

No they made them what they are today. If it were up to the old fans they wouldn't be what they are today so by default we are in the way and must be alloweduh to die.

Holy shit, they're making Puzzle Agent 2?!

Yes, I already have it.

...Is it strange that I read that in the voice of the fake R'as al Ghul from Batman Begins?
