Telltale Games

KevinD872 · 03/01/2010, 09:06 am

Well, I'm probably one of many who came here for ToMI and stayed for just about everything else!

I've purchased all the S&M titles as well as W&G.

I know that a new S&M is coming out (yay!) but I am guessing that there will be no more W&G? I know it's a bit on the easy side and probably aimed at people a quarter of my age, but I kind of liked it and would like to see more.

Anyone have any info on it? Is this series dead? Only one (short) season?

LordofDead · 03/07/2010, 10:10 am

I came here for ToMI too , and bought all S&M episodes and W&G. TTG are busy with Sam and Max Season 3 , and after that i think that they will start a second season of ToMI , so it will be a while...

Nah, Telltale won't leave this series, there's still a lot to do with it. Right now Telltale has "other" priorities to handle at the moment.

KevinD872 · 03/07/2010, 06:16 pm

Yeah I know they have other priorities, but I get the impression that W&G isn't a huge seller (I hope I'm wrong). I really liked the games and would like to see more. It seems like the W&G season was a bit short, which makes me feel a bit like they abandoned it (though not as much as Bone, which I admit didn't seem to interest me).

Civ2boss · 04/11/2010, 11:55 am

It was always planned to be a 4 episode season, so no it's not abandoned. However, I have no idea if they will do another. I hope it sold well enough to justify another, I love Wallace & Grommit almost as I love Sam & Max!

Rather Dashing · 04/11/2010, 12:34 pm

The episode count wasn't where they abandoned the series for shinier, more lucrative opportunities. That was the DVD.

It's obvious from the rushed, haphazard nature of the W&G DVD that it didn't perform as well as they hoped. Even during the series' own damn run, the upcoming Tales usurped its place obscenely fast. Bogey Man was only front page material for a day.

It's a shame, too. The games themselves are GREAT, some of the best adventures Telltale has done.

It was a risky venture - I wish it worked out, because I'd have loved to see more, but it's obviously not the case.

The DVD is a bit of shame, though - I personally liked the Cracking Contraptions collection in 720p, but there's hardly more to the disk...

Tybee · 04/28/2010, 07:44 pm

I love the W&G series and feel it did a masterful job of capturing that universe and crafting games within it. I bought all four episodes on Xbox Live, full price, and felt it was money well spent. I'd be very, very disappointed if it was a one-and-done license. I want to spend more time with these characters!

Megaace · 05/09/2010, 04:19 am

The first season is very funny. I hope they do a second season. I would buy it first day (on the PC of course).

SHODANFreeman · 05/09/2010, 05:42 pm

I've bought the first season at least 3 times over so far, so I certainly hope they do another season.

*Jennifer* · 05/10/2010, 02:57 pm

I loved the first season a lot. I actually liked it more than Tales of Monkey Island because they were so much like the films.

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures is the first time I played a movie-licensed game and actually felt like I was playing playable versions of the movies.

"No" they "weren't", "I" have no "idea" what you're "talking" about.

Rather Dashing · 05/12/2010, 10:42 am

Well, Pale Man, while I don't think they've been a "disgrace" per se, I can certainly see how someone could think that Tales and Sam and Max have somewhat underutilized the benefits of direct control. It would be cool if level design was completely re-thought, but in a lot of places it feels like instead of being dropped into a world, we end up still acting out our parts on a stage/box with one wall torn down, but with the occasional odd camera angle.

SHODANFreeman · 05/12/2010, 11:05 am

The benefits of direct control for me include not having to pound the mouse button like a crazed chimp in order to walk across a panoramic scene.

Rather Dashing · 05/12/2010, 11:09 am

True enough! However, the proponents of point and click ENJOY mashing the mouse button in order to cross a wide scene, so you have to appeal to them with benefits that involve things that absolutely CANNOT be done with point and click. Also, since Telltale is going about saying that the big advantage of control schemes like these is mainly cinematic, it doesn't seem unreasonable for the customer to then assume that they are going to back up those statements with a substantial cinematic benefit that is visible in the end-product.

flesk · 05/13/2010, 11:57 pm

I'd love to see another season as well. The latest movie, "A Matter of Loaf and Death", was a huge disappointment. The TTG game was much better story-wise, in my opinion.

PS: You can hold down the left mouse button to continue attacking in every game you just mentioned. No need to pound your mouse into oblivion.

If I have said it once, then I have said it a million times... they NEED to make a season 2. Sure it isn't a billion seller, but looking at the posts here, it is safe to say it has it's fanbase. Hell.... W&G is the only reason I gave a damn about this company in the first place if that is any indication (& no.... I hadn't watched any of the movies or shorts before playing the game).
