Telltale Games

03/03/2006, 10:10 pm

I love the concept.. and well I love texas hold em.. The key to there being a next game is.. the ability to save your highest score..or highest stack..that would add to the replayability(is that a word?) anyway if you had about 10 characters in the second game.. the ability to play tournaments.. ability to play limit and no limit.. this would turn a really fun game into something you'd play quite often..hey better than solitaire.. If you mix the characters great voice acting and great writing with a game that has a lot of replay value..then you got a winning formuka for the "casual gamer" that telltale seems interested in.. What do you think?

I agree with you one hundred percent on what TTHE is missing.

It may be a while before you see Telltale Texas Hold Em 2 but we are brainstorming similar concepts

Dudebrough, Shakey, Krinkle and Weinhead shall return

Thanks for the reply Dan.. Looing forward to those developments

I love the game too - but wouldn't it be a nice idea to be able to play with friends over the net? Maybe this is an option you can consider in the second edition.
Did not find any game where you can invite your friends to play some poker without having to pay some extra fee.

This would not replace a face to face poker once a month - but it would be nice training...

Maybe a new card game? Like Hearts? I used to have this old Win98 Hearts game. It had animated characters that had some dialog, but no voice, just text. It was actually a fun game.

Or how about a Telltale Monopoly game? I still have my old Westwood Studios Monopoly game. It was fun, back in the day, to log into their server using the WCHAT program, and play with people online. I think online games like this, would build a great community for Telltale.

I Like those ideas Wile E.. they'd have to get the rights though wouldn't they? a Telltale Clue game I would love.. It was dudebrough in the basement with his bong!

I once had a dream about a sequel. It still had Ted and Boris, but it also had some crazy retired military general and the ghost of one of Grandma Shakey's husbands.

04/23/2006, 03:19 am

Personally I would not like to see a sequel. There are plenty of casual game makers out there, we certainly do not need another one of those.
I would much rather have Telltale focus on adventure games and games with great stories (and not make them really easy to please very casual gamers like they sort of seem to be doing at the moment).

Would it be that hard to add a few characters? i mean a few new faces, change the level of their dificulty and change around the dialog a little. Seems like it wouldnt be that hard.

I chose this game over others because in the demo i liked the dialog and the jokes, i want to write em down and remember when i play real cards.

RMJ1984 · 12/23/2006, 09:55 am

More players. More cash and such would be nice features to have

also maybe skill levels or auto learning A.I the more you play the better they get or so..

I love Telltale Texas Holdem too , and it would be nice to add a few new characters like maybe Sam and Max XD or let you play other versions of poker ...

AdamG · 05/27/2007, 02:16 am

Brilliant!!! Telltale Texas Holdem: Sam & Max Edition!

JK1985 · 05/27/2007, 01:00 pm

Now that would be cool! Imagine Max when he lose a game

AdamG · 05/27/2007, 01:47 pm

That could be a very, very dangerous situation.

jannar85 · 05/30/2007, 07:10 am

I'd say upgrade it, and I'll buy it. It's just too simple right now. No high scores even! I've tried other similar poker games that offer a even cheaper price than this, which gives a lot more for the money.

A upgrade or a new sequel? What would a sequel have to offer, that a upgrade wouldn't have?

Ryan · 06/26/2007, 02:27 pm

Unlockable characters and locations, such as General Israel Putnam and the creepy cellar from the movie Frailty, starring and directed by Bill Paxton.

Inika_Unite77 · 06/10/2009, 04:46 am

Yes, they should make a second...With Sam, max, Wallace (and maybe Gromit), Strong Bad, and Bone as playable characters...and of course, the original crew

Evan · 06/10/2009, 06:01 am

First of all, I'd rather it not be called Telltale Texas Hold'em 2. That makes it sound too sequel-ish.

Second, there should be a character list you could choose from (personally, I don't care at all for Harry Weinhead).

Evan · 06/11/2009, 03:46 am

I don't know if someone's already suggested this or not.
It would be really awesome if they could incorporate connections over WiFi so that you could play with other players from across the globe.

bobmarleypeople · 06/16/2009, 02:15 pm

Well, it would seem that TellTale are considering it. I got my free copy of the original after doing the survey, but I'd like to see a second one! Perhaps with crossovers of characters (as mentioned above).

One thing I noticed in the original that I'd like to see in a new one is more interaction between the characters. They didn't really talk to each other much. More talking would be nice.

Customizable computer AI would be nice, as well as multiplayer support (offline, and maybe online too).

What would be really awesome is if you had a commentator like the televised poker games. That would be epic!!!!
