Udvarnoky Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 CGW says by the year's end, but Telltale has said nothing yet. I think Sam & Max is pushing it back for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 So maybe they listened to what I said... But I'm sure I could have said it nicer either way. So hopefully now the whole rockjaw ordeal can be smaller and Book 7 can be looked over, since it has almost no plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnyardCommand Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I would have liked old fashioned 2d style with a more current 1024x768 + resolution. But at least this is better than Full Throttle 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 You know, you guys should really post stuff like this at Telltale's forums, since it's actually read by the people making the game, and the forum has a need for criticisms that are actually useful. These are technically my forums, and I work at Telltale, and I read them (when I can be bothered), so does that count? Telltale employees have actually been known to read these forums as well as quite a few others online (since like everyone else on the planet, the people at Telltale occasionally distract themselevs by poking around on the internet to read things they're interested in to dodge work for a few minutes). People do take what is said in these forums and others across the net and listen to the various interesting suggestions, dull suggestions, complaints, and outright immature whining, and make mental notes of the good stuff - and it is helpful sometimes, once you can cut through the self-important bellyaching which crops up all too frequently... But what a lot of people online forget is that these things that they say about the game the moment they see a screenshot or a render - you know, the first things that are popping into these peoples heads after looking at an image for 40 seconds, and then posting about it - well, the people who are actually working on the game have been staring at and thinking about that render or that environment for weeks, or maybe months, and have frequently reached the same conclusion as the fans, only the difference is that the person at Telltale actually knows whether or not the problem can actually be fixed, and they know the reasons for why it can or cannot be fixed (something someone posting on the internet usually has no idea about... though the more smarmy people often try to extrapolate how various pieces of under-the-hood technology work and offer solutions, which is always helpful to be sure!). Feedback from the fans is really helpful as a tool to guage against everyone's own personal internal observations at the company after spending months with the game - and genuinely thought out, well-worded constructive critisicm from a fan can sometimes spark a really interesting discussion, or it can make someone feel good who in fact fixed the problem the fan's pointing out just a few days before the fan posted about it - but it's almost never a case of "oh man, a guy on the forum said these shadows are rubbish, so we must redo them!" I sometimes wonder if people really know how it works - how much forums are read at game companies, and how the feedback is used. I think people probably assume that their posts either fall on deaf ears, or they think they're somehow saving the company by telling the company how crappy a job they're doing, but really it's neither of those... but more somewhere in between.

itchythesamurai Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Oh man, I didn't know you Telltale guys read these forums. Personally, I'd probably fire somebody working for me if I found them reading a thread about cockrings on company time, but this is a special case. (Also, I think Jake makes a valid point.)

Jake Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I don't think, like, the whole company reads these forums religiously or anything (because unlike most of the regulars of this forum, they have souls), but I've seen the yellow and brown forum view on other peoples screens before.

It might as well work that way seeing as how we really don't say anything of importance around here and when we do need to know something important, it doesn't happen. Thanks again for saying and doing absolutely jack**** about that sketchbook but offering some long unnecessary analysation on what we have to say about the game.

Skinkie Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Has anyone watched the in game movies that are floating around yet? I've sort of been avoiding them, instead just patiently waiting for the game, but I'd love to hear how pretty they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyntheticGerbil Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Telltale needs to get some better voice actors. It can't be that hard right? Shrek uses Cameron Diaz. I bet they could get Cameron Diaz. I heard she does the voice acting by wrapping her vagina lips around the mic and bellowing her voice backwards through her intestines. That's probably why she is the highest paid voice actress in history. She earned it. Cartoons will never be the same. **** Mel Blanc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
