Telltale Games

TheGingerNinja · 05/01/2010, 07:32 pm

I got really interested in De Sotos 'cause of Sam & Max and I was wondering what the model was. Also which model do you think is cool, and which color?

*Irishmile* · 05/01/2010, 09:06 pm

Its definitely a early to mid 60's De Soto convertible... It may be worth looking into getting a model and painting it up like S&M's

EDIT

While googleing the car I came across this picture ..... It seems like a perfect picture for Max-o-vision picture flashes. Why? Its old weird and that woman is posing next to a De Soto engine

They drive a 1960 DeSoto Adventuerer if I remember correctly. The model undergoes some obvious bodywork before the Telltale seasons.

Giant Tope · 05/01/2010, 09:15 pm

I thought they said that they got a brand new de soto altogether in the telltale games.

*Irishmile* · 05/01/2010, 09:24 pm

Yeah the TTG one is different the comic, LA game and Cartoon all had a hardtop desoto.

*Irishmile* · 05/02/2010, 08:26 am

I just spent a lot of time looking for a reasonably priced DeSoto model kit so I can put it together and paint it up like Sam and Max's

TheGingerNinja · 05/02/2010, 09:28 am

Thanks. I thought it was the 1958 model or 1957 the 1960 was only hardtop so it can't be that. Either way it's a way cool car

Freelance Police also had the hardtop. However, one of Culture Shock's throwaway lines:

"Remember our old car Max?"
"I said I was sorry!"

'Nuff said really.

I have a feeling the internal reasoning was simply because they couldn't fit Sam's head and hat under the roof without clipping issues.

Wow, those things look pretty cartoonish to start off with.

So did you find one?

If I was in the market for a car, I'd be looking for a DeSoto to paint up like Sam & Max's (only with my initials on the badge).

Either that, or a DeLorean to customise with a flux capacitor.

OR maybe even a reasonably priced second-hand model of whatever's reliable and going cheap.

*Irishmile* · 05/03/2010, 01:39 pm

No... most are the wrong year so the front grill and headlights are all wrong.

Avistew · 05/03/2010, 04:33 pm

DeSoto, DeLorean... What's with these car names that start with "De" and then have another capital letter in the middle of the word?

*Irishmile* · 05/03/2010, 05:25 pm

They are last names..... Hernando de Soto and John DeLorean.. My last name actually has two capital letters as well.....

Avistew · 05/03/2010, 05:39 pm

I guess it just feels weird because French names never do that. Like, it's Descartes, not "DesCartes". Either it's two different words, or there is only one capital letter at the beginning.
But in English, I keep seeing things like "LeChuck", and it just feels weird after being taught for so long that capitals letters are only found on the first letter of a word (except if the whole word is in capitals, that it).

But then again, French uses capitals less often to begin with. Like, weekdays and month names don't take a capital like they do in English, neither do adjectives ("an American friend", "American" wouldn't take a capital because it's an adjective) and other things like that.

EDIT: oh, and in book/movie/song titles, English capitalises the first letter of every word (except articles or particles) while French only capitalises the first word, the second if the first was an article, and words that would normally be capitalised (names, places, etc).

Actually Steve told us he thought it would be cool if the roof was removed, is all. One initial backstory was that the roof rusted away after a decade of neglect, and the pinstriping and over-styling came from a low-budget, high-style attempt to repair the damage. I don't think that ever made it into the game, though. I think, actually, that Steve had a story for Sam & Max to return home and discover what happened to their car planned in the webcomic, but in a later chapter we never saw. He may have mentioned that recently in one of the billion interviews he's done lately...

GinnyN · 05/03/2010, 05:55 pm

In the Private Forum, in fact: It was because the Car got under pidgeon poop for about a decade.

While I was pretty sure it was partialy because It would be easier do not animate the doors of the deSoto. Which I'm pretty sure those doors do not work anymore =P

One day we'll toss doors on there. It's not too hard the way it's modeled, but back when doing 101 it wasn't necessary so we skipped it. I would love to see doors though

In the "ask Steve Purcell" subject of the preorder forum, he said that he did intent on finishing the webcomic, and that we had to see what years of rust did to their car.
I guess you've ruined it for us now, eh?

Darnit, Avistew! I'd already forgotten Steve mentioned that! At least before, I could have led myself to believe it was a surprise ...

I though that was Pidgeon Poop.

Me too. Me too. For some stupid reason. Not really an actually valid one. =P
