Telltale Games

tredlow · 04/16/2010, 10:44 pm

One unsettling thing caught my eye after I finished episode 1: Most areas I've seen in the "Epic Comedy Saga" trailer are already visited in the first episode, though the scenes shown haven't happened yet. Which made me worry that you're gonna go back to re-use old areas like the previous seasons.

So, I'm just gonna ask; will most areas in future chapters be new, or will we be visiting recycled areas every month?

The Highway · 04/16/2010, 10:46 pm

the likelyhood is that; unless you want to wait 2 months for an episode, some locations will have to be reused. but new locations will almost definately be included as well.

Well, yeah, no, that's what I meant.

I mean, I guess I can tolerate going back to Stinky's or Straight And Narrow, or BoscoTech, since it's pretty inevitable, but I want it so that each episode have more new areas than reused ones. Like in season one, there's basically only 2 new areas each episode, while the rest are reused ones.

Kroms · 04/16/2010, 11:45 pm

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. It'd be nice to have a new handful of locations in the future. I'm not expecting it to be like Monkey Island, where each chapter is different from the rest (hopefully without any re-runs in future games), but it's good to keep any number of hubs to a minimum.

Still, great game.

They have to go to Las Vegas.... or not?

Maybe this is because the future episodes are still being made, and so the artwork and backgrounds for new locations isn't yet finished or wasn't finished at the time of the trailer?

Teeth · 04/17/2010, 04:25 am

That seems likely - the trailers in the SBCG4AP episodes often had the characters just standing in the field, then in the actual episode they'd be somewhere else.

Hassat Hunter · 04/17/2010, 06:40 am

Well, it's very likely 302 has the museum, and if the tease at the end means what I think it means, other areas which are going to be very different

Yeah, but in the end, the majority of each episodes takes place in reused areas.

I will say that episode 2 has almost no recycled environments. Relax a bit.

Ah, thank heavens.

At some point we have to go inside the toy shop surely, the item we've got that's also in the window needs to be exchanged.

Somehow i really doubt this, consindering Episode 301 had to many places, i mean they made atleast 2 locations which was really just there for 1 possible or such, which they should avoid.

Also from what we seen in Tales of Monkey Island, alot has changed since Sam & Max Season 1 and 2, you can tell they gotten a bit bigger and can make way more now, atleast when they arent making Sam & max, strong bad and Wallace and gromit at the same time.

Yeah, they told us already.

Also, I disagree with you saying that they should have less environment in the series. I mean, sure, two of the locations had little to do with the overall plot, but it also has several things we can interact with as well. And isn't that the joy of adventure games?

I can't actually remember, but didn't Max make a comment at one stage during the game about how all of the street corners looks strangely alike?

Shut up! They're completely different! - Sam

Okay, all of three seconds of the trailer is from not the Penal Zone. I checked this pretty much as soon as I beat the Penal Zone. For all you know, they are from the opening cutscene and then Sam and Max get kidnapped to Sweden for importing and exporting fake swiss cheese.

Wh... what?

The part of the trailer that isn't from the Penal Zone, and Sweden's apparent relocation to the Alps, it looks like.
