I'd really like to see them stretch and try something new beyond one of their existing franchises or something licensed although I understand from a funding situation why that is unlikely.

For instance they said one of the things their fans wanted them to do was a Lost Game. Well why not make your own thing that is as unique and interesting as Lost but original. I get why the economics on that aren't feasible but honestly that's what I'd rather see instead of more Sam & Max or Jurassic Park. Stop living in the past and create new shit for a new generation of players.

Post by: Bebpo on October 26, 2010, 06:19:25 PM
You know, while both series are cool I really wish they had done JP first.  With BttF it'll be great, but it'll be just your standard adventure game with BttF theme.  Go to a new era, meet people, solve puzzles, get back.  That story setup has been done over and over.  Even Telltale's Sam & Max basically follows that.

otth, Jurassic Park as an adventure game will be ...weird.  And I want to see it :)
Title: Re: Telltale games doing episodic Jurassic Park
Post by: cool breeze on October 26, 2010, 06:39:53 PM
Everything seems good except the telltale connection.  I want to like their games because they're making adventure games when no one else really is, but they're just so adequate and nothing more.  BTTF1 (and series in general) is my favorite movie, so all this fanfare for another so-so telltale game would be sad.
Title: Re: Telltale games doing episodic Jurassic Park

My problem is how many times can you play Sam & Max before you start to burn out on those characters. As I said earlier I would prefer new IP.

All of the Sega developed Jurassic Park games were good. The original Genesis version was one of the first games I bought for the system. Rampage Edition was awesome too. It had more variety in terms of levels. Telltale already has the blue print for a great point and click JP in the Sega CD version.

The only JP I never got to play was the 3DO version. Of course it looked like your typical 3DO FMV garbage.

the Jurassic park game I'd want would be Far Cry 2 with dinosaurs.  Just a sandbox with dinosaurs around to hunt or ride around on.

you forgot the awesome GameBoy one... i think it was the same as NES tho

unless there were more than one gameboy game, I have it and it's pretty fun.  I remember being awful at it years ago and would get murdered by the triceratops in the first or second level.  When I play it these days I can blow right through it.

A lot of Gameboy games from the past I'm much better at now...except the shitty spider-man ones.  those suck.

Title: Re: Telltale games doing episodic Jurassic Park
Post by: chronovore on December 05, 2010, 04:31:09 AM
They have likely stayed afloat this long by managing their the amount they spend versus expected returns, reasonably. I'd say this and Jurrassic Park are their big game effort; the rights to the movie, plus whatever Lloyd is getting in up front payment; it's likely a non-trivial amount of money in comparison to their previous titles.

I heard in the forums that it has nothing to do with MS and more with Sony than anything. Seems Sony see's the value of having TellTale games and has been very generous with "offers" to get the games on their console. MS had a chance at one point when the studio wasn't able to afford all the gear necessary for porting to 360. So the job was given over to a third party for the first two Sam and Max seasons. By this time it was just not economical for TellTale to continue to support 360 development.

Title: Re: Telltale games doing episodic Jurassic Park
Post by: ManaByte on December 06, 2010, 09:24:54 AM
None. They just need $99 and they can port using their own computers. You technically don't even need a 360 dev kit for it anymore. So anyone saying "it costs too much to develop for 360" is just spreading FUD.
Title: Re: Telltale games doing episodic Jurassic Park
Post by: chronovore on December 06, 2010, 09:56:47 AM
Whoa, sorry, you're wandering dangerously close to the plonk bucket. How does this $99 dollar plan work again? In terms of launching a full XBLA title? Or were you equating the Indie Wasteland of XNA development to the lush, tropical, kill-or-be-killed jungle of XBLA?

Normally I'd agree but I think the telltale games these days (at least Wallace & Gromit was; haven't played any of their more reason output) are generally stupid 3d control driven instead of point & click in order to appeal to console owners.  In those cases a game controller is just as good.

I reaaaaaaaaally prefer traditional point and click movement in my adventure games

all of their post Wallace & Gromit games have been point and clickers but they've got console specific controls on their PS3 Sam and Max and Monkey Island versions.

There's no reason to think that Back to the Future won't be another traditional adventure game, controls and all.  Jurassic Park, I dunno?  That doesn't seem to lend itself as easily to puzzle solving and pointing/clicking.

Back to the Future episode 1 was released today.

The free version is coming out in February around when Episode 2 is dropping for those that bought it.  I bought and played the first episode and thought it was great.  Some quirks about telltale games I'm not a fan of, like how you control with the mouse, and the puzzles are too easy.  My complaint as something BTTF related is that it starts off too linear (as a game) and just drops references to the movies.  When the game starts proper (time traveling-n-stuff) it becomes its own thing.

It's also pretty short.  I'm fairy new to episodic games (except for being a SIN Episodes early adopter.  can't wait for episode 2 BABY WOOH! :rock) so I guess ~3 hours is average.  Longer than Kane and Lynch 2!

Watched the quicklook. Seems cool to me. Honestly this is how I would have preferred that last Ghostbusters game to be. I don't really want to play any action games based on these type of retro properties. I just sort of want to relive the nostalgia of the movies. And this format is pretty well suited for that.

Title: Re: Telltale games doing episodic Jurassic Park
Post by: Bebpo on December 23, 2010, 03:36:08 AM
Ok, finished it on my 2nd session.  Maybe a little over 2 hours total.

By the end I liked it!  I think the first half of the game is kind of weak.  Really linear, almost no puzzles, controls are kind of funky at first.  The 2nd half when it opens up though is great.  Fun puzzles, fun environment, great pacing. 

The ep is waaaay shorter than Telltale's usual stuff, but otoh, the pacing is MUCH better.  Their stuff always drags (I hear they started getting better at this with Tales of Monkey Island but I still haven't played ep2+ of that).  I figure you spend $10 to see a 2 hour movie these days, so a well paced good game for $5 ($25 season / 5 eps) isn't too horrible.


I'm a little surprised by the ep2 preview. 
spoiler (click to show/hide)
I had assumed the way to do a BttF series is that every ep has them going to a different time period.  But it looks like the entire season will be in this one time period and if they do more seasons, each season will be a new time period.  Just hope they add a lot more to the environment.  The game scope was really small, even for a Telltale episodic game.  There were very few rooms and only 1 real location.

Looking forward to ep2.  Maybe I'll play the rest of Monkey Island while waiting.

I want something that achieves what Trespasser set out to accomplish  :(

That game was straight up broken and fucked, but it had the "Oh my fucking god I am surrounded by dinosaurs and am going to DIE" feeling. Of course, you felt like you were going to die because the controls were shit, but then again, if you were some dumb girl who crash landed on Isla Nublar and didn't know the first thing about guns then maybe it worked perfectly

heres my impressions from random gaming thread

Just beat BTTF Ep1


I think 2-4 hours is being extremely kind to this, I finished it in about 1 hour and i'm terrible at Adventure games.

It was pretty good overall, but the animation was terrible at times. I'm talking PS2 level of animation, and lots of audio problems. It's weird to go from Poker Night which had amazing lip syncing technology to this where everyone seems kind of...robotic.

It's great otherwise. Puzzles are nice, story was awesome, all the references are amazing

Played and beat this earlier today. Solid execution for a rather standard treatment of an adventure game. The whole back to the future thing is what gives it credibility, nostalgia, and peaks your interest. It's short but honestly I tend to get tired of telltale games before I finish an episode so this was about the perfect length as I beat it in one sitting without getting bored.

The kid who does the Fox voice is amazing. I feel sorry for him there isn't any current cartoon out there based on the movie so he could make more money at it.

But doesn't ordering the game get you all of it?  Telltale's games are released piecemeal but you really can't by them ala carte anymore.  So how is it a free ep and not part of the whole thing?

You get the first episode free if you did that sign up thing earlier about the same time they are ready to release the second episode.

So it's basically an inducement to try out the game and then turn around and buy the second episode because presumably you liked the first and you are able to resolve the cliffhanger right away by buying the next episode. Well technically buy the season I mean.

Finished up the episode. Easier than the first one although its not like the first one was tough or anything. The next episode seems like it will be the best one or at least the funniest one.

I played through all of Hector episode 1 on a plane flight. It was pretty fucking awesome, I assumed they had given up on doing more episodes. Delighted to hear the news.

Finished BttF ep2.  Really liked it.  I think the first game was bogged down too much by having to introduce all the characters.  This time they could just focus on the story & puzzles presentation and it came across as a better experience imo.

Episode 2 was good.  Next episode will be awesome judging from the preview.

I liked how some of the puzzles in episode 2 had you using items that you had instead of just giving you new items for that current puzzle.

Yeah, I need to play ep3.  Been too wrapped up in longass srpgs lately; need to finish them up so I can play shorter games like this.
