September 15, 200520 yr Telltale Games secures rights to Sam & MaxSteve Purcell: "If there's a better match, I don't know who it is." Telltale Games disclosed tonight what many adventure fans have been waiting to hear for over a year: Sam & Max is making a comeback. The announcement came during a special event, "The Future of Digital Entertainment," which took place in the San Francisco office of consulting firm AT Kearney. The evening started with presentations by Pixar Supervising Animator Alan Barillaro and AT Kearney Vice President John Ciacchella, focusing on the direction of the digital entertainment industry. Telltale principles Dan Connors, Kevin Bruner, and Troy Molander then took the floor to talk about Telltale's corporate goals, development process, and market strategy. The presentation closed with the surprise announcement that Telltale has entered into an agreement with Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell to reintroduce the popular dog and rabbit team to the digital age. The deal was inked only days ago, and few details are available as of now. Telltale stresses that the game will not be Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the LucasArts title whose highly-publicized 2004 cancellation was widely mourned by fans. New content will be developed, and the game will be implemented in an episodic format similar to that of Telltale's Bone games. Purcell, who works at Pixar, says he will be as involved with the Sam & Max project as he can be. "If there's a better match, I don't know who it is
September 15, 200520 yr Too bad Bone looks and sounds like crap. I estimate my favorite comics to be raped. Oh well. Good news for you guys. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
September 15, 200520 yr Dont know ... that states nohing but "hey, we got Sam and Max!" What they will do with it?
September 15, 200520 yr What's the point, Visceris? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
September 15, 200520 yr I don't like the idea of a series that charges per-episode but has no stated total number of episodes (which is what Bone looks to be doing). That'll invite the Robert Jordan effect.
September 15, 200520 yr But isn't Fahrenheit going to be like that? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
September 15, 200520 yr But isn't Fahrenheit going to be like that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I guess it's unfair to expect companies to commit to a schedule success-unseen, but I can still gripe about it.
September 15, 200520 yr But isn't Fahrenheit going to be like that? No, that would be a full one price for the whole game in once... Not pay per part... But a similar system would be Sin Chronicles
September 15, 200520 yr Who cares? Its not a CRPG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you know it wasn't a CRPG when you came into this thread? We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
September 16, 200520 yr That Telltale Games Bone demo is not inspiring, but I can't tell if it's a bad demo from a good game or a good demo from a bad game.
September 16, 200520 yr Sam and Max was being made then got killed by Lucas Arts. I don't expect it to come back Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
September 16, 200520 yr Then again, what do we have to lose? It could be good...i'll just wait and see.
