    Yes, how dare they sell a poker game for five dollars.

    That's like...App Store prices.

    It could be sold for one cent and it'd still be a shameless cash-in

    Because that's what it is. a shameless cash-in

    According to Telltale's Jake Rodkin,
    It's single player. The games about playing poker/hanging out with all of those characters with their personalities intact. There's more dialog in this game than in a Sam & Max episode, both for poker playing and for the ambient conversations that spring up and roll around the table as the game goes on.

    Also the poster is free with pre-order at PAX.

    I'm just worried about the heavy not having his facial animations carry over intact, as this is obviously not the source engine (is it?).

    Eh... no multi-player makes me cautious. If the dialogue is amazing then I'll pick it up, but I'm not sure how long I'll be entertained playing poker by myself.

    It's $5, if I get two hours of entertainment out of it, that's doing better than a movie ticket. I think the table talk alone has $5 worth of potential.

    I don't keep up with every video out there, man

    And I figured, "class-based shooter with no narrative whatsoever"

    I wouldn't really expect voice, or even more, character, out of something like that

    I kept seeing those videos and wondered if anything like that was in the game, and I heard the answer's pretty much no. I know there are quips in-game but dang, why are there awesome videos like that with such great characters and then the game's a generic multiplayer shooter?

    I don't want to play it. I want to watch a feature film of it.

    To be fair, the Meet the Heavy video started as a tech demo for what Source can do in the facial animation department. It was the popularity of that video that launched the rest of the "Meet the Team" series.

    I would say it was both that video AND the game. Once people started playing the game they wanted more back story on the characters and why RED and BLU were fighting and who is this mad announcer lady.

    Most of the charm of the game comes from the characters. It's one of the only shooters I know of where dieing can actually be fun. (Kill cam shots, taunt animations, bragging dialog from the characters). It's the little extras that set the game apart from the "generic shooters".

    So I guess you might want to watch all the TF2 videos, then

    And then probably read some of the comic books that they wrote

    And then maybe play the goddamn video game you silly goose

    Also I knew this was gonna turn out to be another poker game

    They were all holding cards in silhouette, and there's no way you could make any other game with those dudes

    I'm just sort of stunned that they did it anyway

    Even for five dollars, I'll probably just watch all the funny bits on Youtube instead of actually buying it

    It's a goddamn poker game. Who plays poker games? And more importantly, who among the fan-bases for these four respective characters plays poker games? I mean what the hell, Telltale

    No because there are a million free ways to play on PC, or even card game collections for most systems that have 50 times the content for the same price or less.

    The only fake poker I've ever enjoyed was the poker in Red Dead Redemption and that was because it was all in-engine and I thought that was impressive

    Also all the NPCs you played with had their own playstyles and tells, which was even more impressive

    Still though. Didn't play a ton of poker in that game

    Liar's Dice was where it was at

    Penny Arcade is pretty friendly with Telltale

    So either Jerry himself is gonna do it or there's just gonna be speech bubbles for him, which all the other characters will make fun of
