Telltale Games

freakazoid · 01/06/2013, 11:42 pm

Dexter would be a good choice that could work in The Walking Dead "story based" game play style. Indiana Jones would be good as a classic adventure game. Of course more Sam & Max and Monkey Island would always be welcome. I think a ReBoot game would be awesome!

I guess I'm still in the camp of "boohoo i hate success and big name titles."
Nothing wrong with it, I suppose, but maybe I should take this as my wake-up call that we're never actually gonna get our pre-Poker-Night Telltale back.

Personally, out of the three, I've only played or watched Half-Life, anyway, so I suppose I don't have much to say about the franchise.

But TF2, that is oddly brilliant. Valve's constructed a world bigger than its own game could possibly show, filled with interesting characters. As time goes on, they've released more and more promotional material containing miniature stories, but they've always had to have been in service of this multiplayer shooter and its updates. Even/preferably ignoring the mercenaries, there's so many stories begging to be told, yet so little room to tell them.

It feels like the characters and world of Team Fortress 2 have risen to franchise level, but never actually featured in any other games, outside of a cameo. Telltale seems like the only non-Valve company that could be trusted to handle this sort of thing. Plus, Jared Emerson-Johnson scoring a Team Fortress game. Imagine it.

The key phrase being "for some of us." I'm not in that camp, obviously. I also enjoyed both Force Unleashed games. I enjoyed Battlefront as it was fun, and the second added to it. Rogue Squadron was always awesome and could be even better today. My only request would be to leave the on-foot stuff to Battlefront. And Force Unleashed does, despite a weaker second entry, need a conclusion.

Wow, never really noticed that before.

After cutting my teeth on the 4 X-wing Games and their expansions, the arcade sims of Rogue Squadron series just didn't cut it, I'm afraid.

I really enjoyed Rogue Squadron on the N64. Rediscovered it for PC in a thrift store. Reminds me of Rebel Assault. One of the better post-DOS Star Wars games.

I really need to check out one of these DOS Star Wars games. My favorite SW games personally are the Super Star Wars games. Any DOS recommendations?

DAISHI · 01/07/2013, 10:08 pm

Star Wars chess. Since everyone wants a smart Star Wars game, go play that one.

MusicallyInspired · 01/08/2013, 03:43 am

Dark Forces, Rebel Assault, X-Wing, Tie Fighter. That's almost all of them and they're all good.

Telltale and Valve hand in hand? ... Half-Life point and click?
Interesting, but dangerous though...

Get a stick and pretend your a Jedi with a light saber thats the best Star Wars game experience.
