Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Poker Night 1/2, Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island, Strong Bad (and others)Telltale Games are an award-winning adventure game developer famous for The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. Making unique games about choice and narrative in popular established worlds, they have cemented themselves as some of the best storytellers in video games.
In this thread there will be spoilers. Here discussions of your choices about any current game or past game can be discussed and argued.
Their new games are:
Game of Thrones is an upcoming episodic graphic adventure based on the A Song of Ice and Fire books and television series, with a planned release starting in late 2014 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The game is being developed by Telltale Games in partnership with Ty Corey Franck, the personal assistant of the books' author George R. R. Martin, who works as the "story consultant". The game will follow a similar episodic format to other Telltale titles, such as The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Tales from the Borderlands, where player choices and actions have significant effects on later story elements across the six-episode arc.
While the game will include settings and characters (including voice work provided by the actors that portray these characters on the television show), Telltale's game will introduce a yet-seen House Forrester that controls the Ironwood forest in the north of Westeros, from which five members will be playable characters within the game.
Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic graphic adventure video game based on the Borderlands series, released in 2014 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Vita, with planned ports to mobile platforms. The game was developed by Telltale Games in partnership with Gearbox Software and 2K Games, the developer and publisher of the Borderlands series respectively. The game follows the episodic format that Telltale used for its titles The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, where player choices and actions have significant effects on later story elements. In addition, the game includes some of the gunplay the Borderlands series is known for.
The game's story takes place after the end of Borderlands 2 and its downloadable content expansions. The player controls two protagonists, the con artist Fiona and the Hyperion employee Rhys, who meet up in the latter part of the game. The story explores how the characters came together, showing common events from the perspective of both characters in a manner called the "Big Fish version of what happened" by Telltale's Kevin Bruner.

Also, extremely excited for the Game of Thrones TellTale.
I do have one nitpick though: the family name is
But sadly let my brother use my 360 when I got a One and he's constantly on the thing.
I also really enjoyed playing two characters at the same time. I'm guessing that's going to have big implications for the final episode.
The action sequences are so much better in TftB than the previous games TT have made, and the characters are a lot of fun.
really looking forward to the later episodes
also....

Choices:
Machine gun and rocket launcher for Loader bot, basic but effective.
Evacuated Loader Bot, how could I not Loader bot is awesome
Let Sasha play with the stun stick
Didn't sell out Vaugnh
As Fiona
Let August touch the key
Let Shade stick around
Shot Felix, Who said I trusted you?
Took the Steve mask
Voice talent was excellent. Troy Baker as Rhys seemed to have a bit of an Archer style tone which was nice to hear from him.
Also GoT is six episodes, not five. :hydra: Super excited for that season to start though. First episode was reported yesterday to launch on December 2nd!

It doesn't help that when I look at Xfinity I see like 40 one-hour episodes and I'm like... that's a work week...
Maybe Telltale can kick it off for me.

I thought this was a better idea than having everything spun off into their own threads that sort of only update when episodes come out and die after the season is done. With two different games going on the same time too alternating it made sense to just combine them and cover past and future Telltale stuff too.

Since all their other games were episodic, they seemed to learn their lessons from one part to the next (Sam and Max had a lot of one-shot ideas, but that's probably also down to the source material) but JP was basically compiled and released as a single offering.
Also I need to start Monkey Island and get back to Back to the Future.
No need for the sassy attitude, lil' missy.
What with each other Telltale game having its own thread was just pointing out the obvious.
With the Walking Dead thread mostly dead and the Wolf Among Us thread that I made dead, I thought with two new Telltale games it was best to just combine the threads and cover all of them. Both GoT and Tales won't get a ton of discussion and the amount of people who are playing both and posting about them is probably high. There won't be a lot of hunting I think. That said, if this thread does get too crowded then we can break it up again.

I've still got TWAU to play through yet so I'm not hurting for fun Telltale Adventure, I've Jurassic Park to play at some point but I hear that wasn't wonderful.

I'd say you wouldn't have to much difficulty, while chronologically it's set after Borderlands 2 I don't feel there is anything to confusing, the only real difficulty is you wouldn't be familiar with the returning characters, but neither are the characters your playing as so I can't see it as to big of a problem.
Probably the most important things to know are:
*Vaults: Basically the McGuffin chamber all the Vault Hunters are searching for, containing Alien technology / Dooms day weapons / Things you don't want to think about ect depending on the vault.
*Vault Key: A Key... For a vault.
*Handsome Jack: The self proclaimed hero of the series and Boss of Hyperion, the corporation that is trying to seize control of Pandora. Died at the end of Borderlands 2. If you want an idea of Jack's personality enjoy the following quote:
"You see, this is what I don't get about you bad guys: You know the hero's gonna win, but you don't just die quickly. Example: This one guy in New Haven, right? City's burning, people are dying left and right, yadda, yadda, yadda... This jackhole rushes me with a spoon, A FRICKIN' SPOON! And I'm dying laughing, right? So I scoop out his stupid little eyeballs with it and his kids are all, 'WAAAAAAH!' And-ahahaha... I can't even... ahahahahah! He can't see where he's going, he's bumping into stuff and... I dunno, maybe you had to be there. The moral is: you're a total bitch."
From episode 1 of JP (all I've played so far) it's... Rough. Not amazing voice acting, unfair gameplay design, story of rather limited appeal. It's possible it blossoms in the later episodes though.
Performance question: TWAU and TWD Season 2 really started hitching badly on 360. Does Tales from the Borderlands run smooth on Xbox One or have they still screwed this up?
It only lasted for a few seconds before everything fixed itself but it was there.
Don't think it was as bad as it was with TWAU on my 360 though.

Shit, I haven't played those. Those go into the nebulous unknown void tier.
Along with Sam and Max.
Sam and Max are unfortunately not modern Telltale games.
Well, Tales is kind of a look at what would have if you took (moderately) normal people and threw them into the Borderlands setting.
So its crazy but still a bit grounded.
On the other hand, the QTE's in Jurassic Park didn't punish you for pushing the wrong button, you just had to push the right one in time, so every QTE in that game can be done by just constantly mashing all the buttons.

Is there an ETA on Borderlands episode 2? I normally wait until the full 5 episodes are available for Telltale games because I hate waiting, but I couldn't resist Borderlands... Now I gotta wait =/
I know Game of Thrones is today, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to wait on it. I feel like GoT is going to have some unbearable cliffhangers.
Finally learned my lesson since on the release of episode three and onward they tend to have pretty good deals.
Hype.
