Telltale Games

lagamorph · 05/18/2010, 06:24 am

I loved the first episode of the new season, but the only thing that bothered me was the fact that you do not EVER get to go inside the office. I've been waiting months to see what was in my closet from ep. 204, and now it's in another dimension. please bring back the office, Telltale.

Emo Hoe · 05/18/2010, 06:25 am

The office will come back at some point.
After all we see the office waaayyyy in the future in episode 204

But Jake stated on these forums that the future is not definite, IIRC. Some future visions, like Flint getting killed, were changed.
Thus, what we saw in Chariots of the Dogs doesn't have to be what really happens.

I have a feeling they might go to that dimension in a later episode, though.

Emo Hoe · 05/18/2010, 06:43 am

True true
But still its the office, its bound to come back.

In 205 you get to look inside. What's inside is Zombie Lincoln's Brain. Also for TDP, if you look at the trailer for Future Vision you'll see them walking through their grimy hellish office.

Mind you, it might not be till Episode 5 or 4, but we'll see it.

Episode 3 ha

BrakMan2005 · 05/18/2010, 07:18 am

I don't know. Considering what happened in The Penal Zone, They used the device Momma Bosco gave Sam & Max to make their office an new Penal Zone, and sent Skunkape into it I don't know if they will go back to the office.

I personally hope they do someday, I miss it already. (Frankly, I just wonder is Sam finally got a new coat hanger for the TV by now.)

kane · 05/18/2010, 07:53 am

but if they gust go in as normal they mite say i like what the Penal Zone did waif the office

Harald B · 05/18/2010, 07:59 am

I suspect Telltale wants to replace it with a new, less roomy one. The direct control scheme they're going with would finally allow that.
Look at the office in the comics:

If Sam could lie down on the floor and stretch out, he could probably touch the door with his fingertips while still touching the wall beneath the window with his toes. Now compare the Telltale office:

It's like a ballroom in there! (The one in Hit the Road is not much better btw.) So I think Telltale is working on an excuse to replace that with a more appropriate size.

Hassat Hunter · 05/18/2010, 08:03 am

It's bigger in the animated series too.

I don't see what use it has to shrink it in though...

BlankCanvasDJ · 05/18/2010, 08:14 am

I think Purcell just exaggerated the small size of the office in that particular instance so that it would fit the narrow comic panel. It never appears quite that small in any of the other comics. In most it looks about the size of the Hit the Road office or the animated series.

**Jake** · 05/18/2010, 08:19 am

It seems the office grows and shrinks depending on what's needed, what looks good, and what's funny, like most things in the Sam & Max comics. Even the DeSoto is sometimes properly life-sized, but sometimes it's scaled down for comedic purposes, so Sam and Max can be squeezing out of the windows (like the cover of Hit the Road).

Sir Pantalones · 05/18/2010, 08:38 am

And sometimes, the roof is gone.

light_rises · 05/18/2010, 08:43 am

Soooo ... what's canon in the Telltale Sam & Max games again?

Harald B · 05/18/2010, 08:55 am

It's true that it's bigger in the animated series (though not by a lot) and probably the rest of the comics, and I admit it doesn't matter a whole lot, but I still think the Telltale office is a tad too large. Rooms that large (and which such a nice floor) are expensive. Even if they don't pay rent, that office does not fit well in that neighborhood, or in the vaguely noir-ish style.

Hardly an issue. and whos to say the floor is nice just because its wood?

If anything ought to be addressed more so than office size it'd be some of the physics breaking elements. Eg the fact Bosco's exterior is completely windows, yet interior has small windows with wall space between etc.

Me?

I'm not saying it's nice because it's wood; it's nice because I think it looks nice!
