dpp Posted August 28, 2010 First, watch this teaser to the announcement date (which is something I really despise): http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-untitled-telltale/703721 Then tell me what the hell is going on? My love for TF2 makes me excited for this new project. I hope it's not a puzzle/card game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted August 28, 2010 Looks like a sequel to Texas Hold'Em to me! I am holding out hope for more, though, as I am not a fan of poker. ): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patters Posted August 28, 2010 Well the "Heavy" looks to be holding 3 cards (which you should know is one more than one does in Texas Hold 'em) the same amount "Tycho" is holding. It could well be 7 Card Stud though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted August 28, 2010 Please don't be a poker game... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted August 28, 2010 Ug.... I hope it's not a card, it would a waste of potential... I'd rather play a vampire romance hidden object game that a poker game! It would be like getting Godzilla, Gamera, King Kong, King Ghidorah and Mazinger Z together and make a tic tac toe game with them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted August 28, 2010 which you should know is one more than one does in Texas Hold 'em I did say "sequel" which implies things change! It would be like getting Godzilla, Gamera, King Kong, King Ghidorah and Mazinger Z together and make a tic tac toe game with them... Not true at all! The potential for hilarious banter in a poker game is endless. And since they're all known for the hilarious things they say... Poker is a great avenue for this kind of mashup. But I still hold out hope for more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted August 28, 2010 Tic tac toe with hilarious jokes in it and great writing is still tic tac toe.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dpp Posted August 28, 2010 Well, it could be tic-tac-toe to launch nuclear missiles... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted August 28, 2010 Looks like Jurassic Park to me… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wubbles Posted August 28, 2010 I wonder who would voice-act Tycho. The fact that the character could be easily interpreted as a snarky douchebag is disconcerting. EDIT: I suppose he could speak in text as a visual gag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
circadianwolf Posted August 28, 2010 Didn't Tycho speak (vocally) in Rainslick Precipice of Darkness? (I didn't play it, genuinely curious.) I am confused, especially since Telltale's also working on Jurassic Park and Back to the Future games, right? In addition to possibly more Sam and Max and Monkey Island? How much staff do they have?

elmuerte Posted August 28, 2010 that's quite obvious... it's the new Idle Thumbs incarnation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted August 28, 2010 Having played the PA games, I seem to recall that there was no voice-over and everyone spoke in text bubbles. I played these a long time ago though, so I may be mis-remembering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted August 28, 2010 No, you're correct. There really is no voice in Rainslick. iirc it was on purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted August 28, 2010 Well, it could be tic-tac-toe to launch nuclear missiles... IT WOULD STILL BE TIC TAC TOE! Poker is not Tic-Tac-Toe. It's still the kind of game that should be just a mini game within a game and not a whole game by itself... IT'S TIC TAC TOE!

Tanukitsune Posted August 28, 2010 How so? I never actually said or thought poker mini games were bad, but I can't see how a poker mini game can be better than the dedicated one apart from AI, which a mini game can have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Of Towers of Hanoi, Match 3, you should know what I mean) I know what you mean. But you're wrong. Look, I hate poker, but even I know that "just a mini game within a game" almost always turns out shit. A dedicated poker game would likely be a million times better. And many people like poker. It's gonna be a Super Smash Bros. clone. That's what I guessed Irrational's game was on their voicemail thing, but it didn't turn out to be true. And I replied to TTG's tweetthing with the same, so I expect this to be untrue as well.): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The systems for mini games don't feel right in poker. Poker is more than the card game. Though I doubt it's straight Texas Hold 'em with the 3 cards being held, I don't think Telltale would be silly enough to make such a mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin_Br Posted August 28, 2010 Well, it could be tic-tac-toe to launch nuclear missiles... A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
