Telltale Games

Spykes · 10/25/2010, 01:32 pm

Thank goodness I have both PS3 and XBox 360. I really want to play BttF on the big screen. It'll be a painful wait for it to be released on the PS3 when it will already been available on the PC though. I guess I'll have to use my pre-order code for episode 1 and hopefully that can tide me over until I can buy it on PSN.

We'll see. The last two titles (Sam & Max / ToMI) have been only on PS3 (the latter was on Wii also).

I will be pre-ordering on PC and PS3 -- guess I'm crazy like that.

Hopefully info regarding the pre-order for PS3 will be unveiled soon.

Going forward, I believe they're coming out simultaneously on PC/Mac and PS3, much like Sam & Max: Devil's Playhouse.

Each PS3 episode of The Devil's Playhouse only came out like a day or two after the PC/Mac release, right? You probably wouldn't have to wait too much.

Love these games.. and Back to the Future far too much not to buy it instantly. But I'm very disappointed to see the 360 left out of all these recent releases, especially as the previous games that were released for it worked very well.

StevenMcFlyJr · 10/25/2010, 04:19 pm

Th Wii's graphics are not that powerful but most TT P&C games aren't either actually. and the Wii has fantastic sound. So I've no clue what "Trenchfoot" is rambling about.

This would be SPLENDID on the Wii !!!

jp-30 · 10/25/2010, 04:30 pm

People get confused between the 40MB limit placed on downloadable wiiware titles (and the compression etc needed to squeeze ToMI into that service), and the Wii itself.

ApollosEpiphany · 10/25/2010, 04:33 pm

I really hope we end up seeing BTTF on 360 when all five games are out, and hopefully news of The Devil's Playhouse now that the season has finished.

isco · 10/25/2010, 04:39 pm

Huzzah! BTTF for the iPad! I can't wait! (Please release on Nov. 17 please release on Nov. 17!!)

I seriously hope TellTale don't ever cater for WiiWare again, having to squash games into 40MB just wasn't the best design choice around and I really think it's unfair that a game could potentially be compromised due to one platform having insane restrictions. At least with the Xbox 360 and PS3 the limit is 2GB to allow much more freedom and the hardware can handle a lot more, bringing it in line with PC.

From what I've gathered, Wiiware just didn't work for Monkey Island, from the downscaled music being MIDI to the pricing structure of the WiiWare Store meaning the Wii version cost like twice as much. The appeal of the PSN for TellTale was that the PSN now allowed a subscription, pay up front style, like what the TellTale store does for the PC/Mac versions, so the price works out near enough the same.

Considering the preview trailer is slated for Dec 2, I think you may be out of luck.

I can still hope for at least a major upadate on the 17.

Yeah, Telltale shouldn't try making a WiiWare version, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try making a Wii version. Maybe after the series is finished they can put all the episodes on a disc for the Wii, like with the first two Sam and Max seasons.

But they should make sure it's a well-done port, unlike with the first two Sam and Max seasons.

jp-30 · 10/25/2010, 07:31 pm

Wiiware has its place - it was fine for Strongbad, and I dare say it would be great for Poker Night too.

ApollosEpiphany · 10/25/2010, 07:35 pm

Poker Night on xbla would be aaaawwwweeeessssooooommmmeeeee.

Crispy Onion · 10/25/2010, 11:13 pm

I would prefer a disc release for BttF and JP on Wii too, episodic games make me just think of downloading services.

And if they stated in the press-release that the games'll come out for any major plattform, then one game should at least release on either the Wii or the Xbox 360.

But in the end it's in any way the PC version to go for, so why bother?

According to this press release, the PC/Mac versions will be coming out first and the PS3/iPad versions will be released "shortly after".

Thanks for the heads-up. I wonder how long is "shortly after" -- if the way they released with Sam & Max is any indication, that will be a fairly quick turnaround.

Rather Dashing · 10/26/2010, 07:12 am

Obviously, the Wii can't handle the 1.21 Gigawatts necessary for time travel.

GhstbstrLMLIII · 10/26/2010, 08:45 am

I just don't understand "timed exclusive" releases. All you are doing is alienating part of the potential fan base. (And I aim this not only at the 360 issue, but also the release of the game on PS3 "shortly after" it's released on the PC.)

I am a console gamer. I have a very few things on my computer, but it's really old and I don't know much about updating it. It's just easier for me to have a console. That being said, I try not to be a specific brand "fan-boy" either. I currently own a 360 and a first-generation PS2. I had a PS1 before that. I've liked the Playstation, but was in college back when the PS3 was first released - so I wasn't able to afford it. I, personally, think it was really stupid to take out the backwards compatibility factor, and refuse to buy a PS3 until they bring it back (and won't pay for a way-over priced used first-gen PS3 that has that ability).

Also, I'm completely new to TellTale games. It was the BTTF title that drew my attention and got me to sign up in these forums. The most-recent announcment regarding the platforms for BTTF leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I want to give TT my money - but I don't know if I have a system they will be releasing the game on.

I appreciate the news that the first episode will be available free - and will certainly try it on my computer, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up about it.

Also, the talk/rumors of TT possibily releasing BTTF on 360 after the season is complete does little to help. Will I buy it - you bet. But that means I'll have to wait until sometime later next year to play any of the BTTF game - long after most other players have completed the game. I know I don't want it to be spoiled, so that means I really can't particpate in the BTTF forum while I'm waiting for this "timed exclusive" to run out.
