BruceVC Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/02/24/lionsgate-telltale-super-show/#more-272611 http://www.lionsgate.com/corporate/press-releases/1644/ I think this is very exciting news and has huge potential to create something significant Basically Lionsgate films and Telltale games will be collaborating to create some kind of new interactive media....so a hybrid of a game and movie. Similar I suppose to games like Walking Dead...but having the backing of such a talented film studio like Lionsgate only bodes well for this idea. I'll be watching this space closely "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
Tale Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Also John Riccitiello, former EA CEO, joined the board of directors. All I care about is Telltale getting their release schedule in order. C'mon people! 2 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Janmanden Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 That sounds really weird. At first, before I even read it I thought that they were probably going to make some of those Adventure games with Full Motion Video that Sierra did with Lost in Time and Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within and other Adventure games in the early and mid nineties, but they plan a 'Super-show' “A ‘Super Show” episode combines one part of interactive playable content with one part of scripted television style content. Both pieces, when combined together, are what make an actual Super Show ‘episode.’" That kind of sounds like Mass Effect 3, actually. (Signatures: disabled)
Bryy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 These ideas never work in reality because things like time and budget exist. The most that Defiance ever did was a few references a year later. 1
Elerond Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I am not as sure that this will improve quality of Telltale's games, at least in segments where Telltale has excelled as Lionsgate has different perspective on what sells and what makes good story, than we have accustomed to see from Telltale, but of course this means that Telltale will probably have much larger budgets for its future products.
Serrano Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I wonder if Quantic Dream will get a similar offer from another studio if this takes off? He did kind of pioneer this as a genre with Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. Edited February 25, 2015 by Serrano

He did kind of pioneer this as a genre with Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. Quantic Dream is heavily tied to Sony, so I would predict that if they will ever do anything similar they will do it with Sony (Pictures Entertainment).

Yeah I agree it may initially appear to be a strange concept but imagine the potential...you could stream a movie that you could then control some of the narrative. Its sounds fun to me These ideas never work in reality because things like time and budget exist. The most that Defiance ever did was a few references a year later. Yee of little faith !!! Lionsgate has much more experience around movies than Trion has so I expect something more than Defiance as far as the movie interaction is concerned ?

Its sounds fun to me Maybe you don't know, but porn industry had already brought this kind of entertainment to the public, so this is far away from an innovative idea :D But fun nonetheless :D 1 Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

Tale Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Doesn't the "super show" thing sound like what Remedy is trying to do with Quantum Break? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Oerwinde Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Someone needs to do an updated Captain Power, but more interactive. For those of you who don't know, Captain Power was an 80s sci fi live action adventure show, and the toys had sensors on them so the vehicles would take "battle damage" when hit by the lasers on tv. The toys had lasers of their own and would feedback to kids when it hit one of the bad guys on tv as well.. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Tale Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It was also written by JMS of Babylon 5 fame. But I don't see that being popular. It barely was at the time. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Bryy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Yee of little faith !!! Lionsgate has much more experience around movies than Trion has so I expect something more than Defiance as far as the movie interaction is concerned ? It's not a question of experience. Video games are an interactive medium. Film is pre-made. I'm all for giving video games a more cinematic feel, but that's all you can do. They are two different mediums fulfilling two entirely different needs.
HoonDing Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I read Lionhead. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Fluffsy Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I read Lionhead. You are not alone. I was like "that can't be good", but then I read OPs post and felt silly.
