Tanukitsune Posted February 17, 2011 Seriously? Stop hogging all the awesome TT! Leave some IP for the rest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted February 17, 2011 This is some crazy shit. WILL IT EVER STOP? Though more and more, with each of these new franchises, I'm hoping for a jump up in graphical quality. I know Telltale's whole MO is fast turn-around, not too demanding, etc., but it still is starting to get to me. Especially because some of these latest franchises would benefit from higher fidelity far more than Sam and Max could, I think. At the VERY LEAST, facial animations need to be improved. That's probably my biggest complaint. ): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted February 17, 2011 Frankly, I think the Back to Future games look better than older TT games? I'm pretty sure I'm the only person more excited over the Fables games than the Walking Dead ones... :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted February 17, 2011 Man, must not be any danger of TTG resting on its laurels with Sam and Max. So this means TTG has: Bone (?) Sam and Max Wallace and Gromit Monkey Island Back to the Future Jurassic Park Walking Dead Fables AND possibly some more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyroid Posted February 17, 2011 Still hoping for that original IP, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted February 17, 2011 Frankly, I think the Back to Future games look better than older TT games? They do. Every new season/series brings graphical improvements, but the facial animations are still ehhh, and at this point the only thing that really stands out to me as a problem. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person more excited over the Fables games than the Walking Dead ones... :| Nope. I love Fables. :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted February 17, 2011 I'm not excited about this news, probably because I'm not interested in either franchise. Still hoping for that original IP, though. Yeah, about that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted February 17, 2011 Don't worry, at this rate they'll run out of amazing IPs to make games for in a few years! Then they'll HAVE TO make their own IP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juv3nal Posted February 17, 2011 I'm sure I'll check out this other new stuff, but I just want more Sam and Max (so long as it's as good as last season). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he even took the license to someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted February 18, 2011 Could someone tell me what is Walking Dead and Fables about? I know about both that they are apparently comic book series and Walking Dead already has tv show up and running. What else is there to know about those? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrobbs Posted February 18, 2011 That the walking dead comic is zomgwtfpwningly good. One of those you stay up reading until 2/3 because you just have to read the next ep. TV series is good too, but the comic really is excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted February 18, 2011 Fables is: fairy tales are real, and live in secrecy in the real world because they got kicked out of their own. Big Bad Wolf is a detective. It's awesome. Totally the better license of the two. (I love The Walking Dead.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vimes Posted February 18, 2011 i guess i can say that @ja2ke and i are the leads on #thewalkingdead series now Cool! I hope Joe Pinney completes this awesome duo, everything he directed or designed so far has been awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted February 19, 2011 Cool! I hope Joe Pinney completes this awesome duo, everything he directed or designed so far has been awesome. Joe's the lead designer on Jurassic Park, but he may make an appearance later in tue Walking Dead season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted February 19, 2011 I'm pretty sure I'm the only person more excited over the Fables games than the Walking Dead ones... :| I haven't read either, but know that my girlfriend is obsessed with the Fables books. She has really good taste in graphic novels, so this makes me really excited for the game adaptation. In short, I'm with you too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted February 19, 2011 Wow, nice one Jake! Are we allowed to ask questions? Like: what's the action to adventure ratio going to be? how much gore will you be able to put on-screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Udvarnoky Posted February 19, 2011 I watched and loved the show, cheesy and cliche-ridden though it may have been, but I've always read that the comic isn't all that good. Can anyone here weigh in on how accurate these opinions are and if Kirkman's work is worth checking out? From my experience with The Walking Dead, it would seem to me that it's character driven enough to work as a straight-up adventure game. Not saying that going with whatever route Telltale's taking with Jurassic Park would be inappropriate either, but zombie attacks don't really take up a large percentage of the narrative based on the TV show.

DanJW Posted February 19, 2011 I've read the first two Fables books. They're good, although not as masterful as the big boys in the graphic novel world. They're on the next tier down though. It's enitely possible that as the long-arc plot comes to the fore in later books it picks up a lot more epic momentum. (Is there a TV show? is it actually based on the books or does it just share a name?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted February 20, 2011 The Walking Dead comics weren't amazing. They didn't really do anything different with the zombies, and had a load of cliched characters and siege dynamics. They were okay, though, and I think they're a really good idea for making into a tv show or game series - it gives the opportunity to flesh out the characters a lot more. I can imagine a Telltale version being brilliant, although I think it will have to be a different kind of game to, say, Sam And Max or Bone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted February 20, 2011 HAhaha it completely slipped my mind that the Walking Dead started out as a comic, so I thought you were talking about a Fables TV show (a nice idea but it would have to be treated differently to Kingdom). Still haven't seen the Walking Dead show, I'd like to though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tm_drummer Posted February 20, 2011 Cool! I hope Joe Pinney completes this awesome duo, everything he directed or designed so far has been awesome. Also, if Pinney joined, it would be a trio, wouldn't it? Seeing that Jake and Famous are already in (very cool! :tup:), thus making a duo. Still haven't seen the Walking Dead show, I'd like to though. Yep, me too. Everyone's (still) talking about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted February 20, 2011 The comic is better than the show. x: That's not even a "THE SHOW DOESN'T STAY TRUE TO THE COMIC!" rip, as I appreciate it when stories change for different mediums, and it's nice to not know everything that's going to happen. I just didn't like the TV show very much, in the end. I wanted to, but I didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
