Telltale Games

Sam will wake up and it was all a dream, perhaps?

Just kidding, that's the worst ending possible

Yeah, that and 'it was all just a ride in a theme park'.

I don't like those kinds of characters. They're boring. I much prefer the recurring kind.

I just don't know if using a drastic character change is such a great idea.

Max has had latent psychic powers since at least the Beast from the Cereal Aisle comic. I'm not just making that up, either.

Maybe he meant that it would be referenced to and joked about in future games. Like the 'Max is President' joke.

While I agree that the reel mechanism kinda disrupted the story, it doesn't look as a bad thing to me. Partially because it was interesting to piece the elements together, and mostly because there's no rule that the story needs to be woven in any manner resembling sane in a Sam&Max game

max can kepi vim buet when questioned about them he sees I find it cheating so I hid them whif the Psychic Powers chimes from the Blister of Tranquility and Soul Mater and the 4 Horseman aching fingers. sam: what didn't we get rid of the 4 Horseman aching on that elf. max: yap Santa gave me 2 and you 2 when we saved him it just I didn't tell you up in to now because I wanted to have vem all.

Don't be to sure, I have a hunch he'll keep the powers under very strict rules on how to use it.

And how, pray-tell, would that work with Max of all people?

I'd figure that he'd just lose all the toys which have the powers, so latent, but non-manifesting powers.

Simple, in later Seasons he still has the Toys but he doesn't talk, or use the powers much at all. They're just used in time for puzzles and such.

Earlier than that. Bad day on the Moon, Consciousness Transference. If THAT cannot be explained by psychic powers, I don't know how.

I think when you write a game and you know it's going to be voiced, you kind of adapt your writing to that, if I'm making sense.

Of course in this specific case there might also be the same thing with models. Re-using models rather than creating new ones probably takes less room.

TOMI managed to pull it off. It had a bunch of voice actors who didn't do that much, and it was better for it.

Re-using models is lazy though. It looks really really bad. TOMI episode 1 had it the worst, but they managed to fix it up by Episode 3, but 1 and 2 are kinda shameful.

I thought we would have better graphics than Season 1 and 2 in Season 3, but it's not the case. Like that smiley face on the moles keeps clipping into their robes when they move, and all the models are re-used. That and there's not really any new characters, they're all just recycled from the old series.

I wish Harry Moleman would go away. It was fine having him in 103, but he just keeps coming back and it's really annoying.

In every new Sam and Max game, 4/5 characters are intentionally annoying, like the elves and stuff.

kane · 05/31/2010, 04:44 pm

the annoying ones get epic and get killd of

I love how everyone was like '302 is jesus' and I was like 'no it's not.' and you all got mad at me.

Now that a mod said that 302 wasn't perfect, everyone agrees suddenly.

Shwoo · 05/31/2010, 05:04 pm

What are you talking about? Nothing like that happened in this thread.

Show your work please.

I've always loved the Sam & Max games for their brutal comedy.

It's nice to see Telltale branch out into the horror genre with these new controls.

if 302 is jesus, 303 will be god, and then 304 will be... uh... SACRILEGIOUS! and 305 will be the end of existence.

Don't you get it? There will be no season 4 if 305 = the end of existence
