I enjoyed them most when they made their Sam and Max Games. While the Walking Dead style games were neat, they quickly ran it into the ground by putting out low quality games at the highest volume possible.
What are the odds Wolf Among Us 2 was going to extremely pozzed and full of millennial writing and an unnecessary use of curse words strung together in a single sentence?
writing >i think you mean zoomer writing because it's aimed at zoomers (who love that shit)
It should be rightly called Gen X writing since it was Gen Xers who came up with and mostly write like that. It's odd that it appeals to zoomers, I guess they're not sick of it like millennials are.
That it's called millennial writing when it has nothing to do with millennials is some sort of sick cosmic joke.
they went bankrupt then some weird holding group bought them
now theyre dead again because the studio is dead, all the real talent left years ago and all you have are homosexuals
>all the real talent left years ago
That would kind of be implying they had permanent talent in the first place, and I'm not sure that's true dating as far back as S&M1
Telltale's one and only magic trick was the Walking Dead season 1, how it got you invested in the characters and led you to believe that your choices mattered. Replaying the first season broke the illusion already, and everyone got quickly wiser to their storytelling trickery soon after. But they insisted on doing the same thing over and over again, so people stopped giving a shit.
it's well documented that everyone who knew how their shitty engine quit the company long ago, and they had zero documentation so they were throwing 10 analysts at each problem trying to brute force solutions
it's why Walking Dead never changed how it played despite years of development
They came back and released a 'The Expanse' game that nobody played.
The Expanse is actually a great setting for a game, the story was even originally written to be a 3-faction MMO before being turned into a novel. Nobody wants a shitty Telltale adventure game based on it though.
Where do they keep getting money from? How many times have they died for the same reasons?
I remember one year after Obama was out of office suddenly a ton of video game "journalists" got laid off and all the connections they had to government programs were being talked about.
Damn I can't remember the name of that organization. They would found "research" and stuff about video games and were funding a few.
I think it had a color in its name like silver something or blue something and it was connected to CTR and some other government shit too
That might be it. It was fricking wild reading about it
I guess it's not as wild thinking about it today since it's a lot more open and obvious, but they basically were pushing esg score shit before there was an esg score
It was all over gamergate threads
There is no such thing as the perfect solution. Anyone in Europe where unions are common can tell you stories about unions that were absolute dogshit >supposed to fight for the rights of all employees >don't do shit >use their position to ~~*((work*~~)) as part of the union but actually just sit on their ass all day >call for a strike when the current contract runs out and settle with 2-3% higher salary claiming that this is a win for everyone >barely enough to make up for the union fees that also keep increasing
There are so many shitty unions its no surprise that many people are anti-union even though it SHOULD be in their interest to have power.
>heh, the nda says I can't talk about the game but I'll phrase my sentence to >imply it's dead or in a very bad state because my team got laid off that'll show them
>give us a portion of our wages and refuse to work when we say so >btw we leaders will be rich while you make pennies
>give us a portion of our wages and refuse to work when we say so >btw we leaders will be rich while you make pennies
This this this. Unions are nothing more than another corporation bleeding you dry, and their "product" is grievance. Organize WITHOUT some fricking union dragging you down. You don't need someone else telling you what's good for you.

The frick did the idiots expect making an their games Epic exclusive? No one even knows Telltale was back. NO ONE knows they made an Expanse game or any of the other shit that never got released on a real storefront.
Their games are pretty cheap to make. They mainly have to pay for voice actors and a few writer. I’m surprised a big name publisher hasn’t taken their idea yet. How much would it really cost to make another Wolf Amongus? 15 million in development if you already have the engine ready. I’m guessing they were just that incompetent.
unions also protect hard working wage cucks from gettintg exploited which is extremely common in game dev because many morons desire to work in
this field for dumb reasons
if they developed enterprise products instead they'd be a lot richer in more stable jobs while doing less hours
>dev goes bankrupt >they sell the entire company and all assets (and paid for licenses) to some plucky indie boys >the indie boys get a call from Tim Sweeny >"If you make all your games exclusive forever to my storefront I promise you'll make it big" >the indie idots believe Tim "Remote Eater" Swiney >absolutely NO effort goes into announcing that Telltale is back >Epic Game Store has absolutely ZERO reach so the extremely limited promotion there goes unnoticed by literally everyone >even through what is essentially a death sentence for the company they manage to spread word about Wolf Among Us 2 through their special media >NO ONE knows they made an Expanse game series >NO ONE knows they made a Batman follow up game series >NO ONE ever played either >Telltale is now going to go bankrupt AGAIN before Wolf Among Us 2 is released

Well how the frick would you? Releasing something exclusively on epic is like throwing it down a bottomless hole. As far as I am concerned it's a total declaration of zero faith in their own product when a dev does this.

I saw it flash by on a friend's console while I was over at his place to play some mortal kombat and I asked him to go back and look at it. Fricking moronic how they just did nothing to announce they have two games out on multiple systems.
Is there a genre that got fricked even more by YouTube? Seriosuly, i legitimately think that YT is the reason why these games are basically extinct >can search that option you didnt take online >realize most options dont matter
Even more if the game relied a lot on pixel hunting or weird logic puzzles
The creator of Fables got fricked over by Telltale and DC over the royalties, so he decided to throw Fables into public domain. Anyone can make a Fables game now without restrictions if they want to.
Just a reminder that Telltale could have released Wolf Among Us 2 this year, but decided to upgrade the engine to Unreal 5 instead and now Epic is increasing prices. Oops!
>company doesn't need x group of employees anymore >they get fired >SuPpORT UNioNs!!!@@@
why? why should the company keep them on to do nothing or to do a pointless job that isn't needed? companies exist to provide a service or a product, not to pay as many people as possible a wage and provide daycare for them
>we must UNIONIZE
I will refuse to buy anything made by unionized people and I WILL go out of my way to find if the studio behind a game is unionized or not before deciding to even buy anything. And if they are, I won't give them money.
This whole idea of chasing money and needing "stability" or whatever the frick when you go work for another company is what's destroying the whole medium. Go back to making games out of pure sake of it, whether it's you wanting to tell a specific type of story to influence people into improving themselves, or just want to make something fun for people to enjoy.

Said no one fricking ever as everything comes to a standstill and things become even more poorly ran.
Let go anons telltale has been dead for a long time someone is wearing their skin as a yamicka just accept this and move on man.
Reception to TWD and TWA kept misattributing novelty to quality, and so they took the wrong message and remade the same game over and over with different licensed skins (most of which nobody bought, with some key exceptions like Minecraft and Borderlands). >Did any key people leave after those?
Nope, the core staff remained so consistent that they went on to either Skunkape and nuTelltale after.
Also Dramatic Labs. Those guys made Star Trek: Resurgence. It was pretty good, but suffered from many of the problems Telltale's games did, such as your choices having very limited impact.
Spread themselves too thin.
As early as Wolf Among Us they were showing that they had frickall ability to meet deadlines and then they further fricked themselves by working on a half dozen projects simultaneously and not having the money to pay their staff (which exploded in size because they worked on 6 games at once instead of one at a time).
The games are just glorified visual novels. The writing in later stuff was generally of lower quality (Tales from the Borderlands being a nice outlier and some of the Batman stuff was decent too) but that's probably just head writers being less good than the head writers of other games.
People say it's because the formula got stale and, to an extent, that is true; but I think it's important to recognize how much more your choices mattered in games like Batman S2 or Borderlands. Telltale's problem was ALWAYS shitty management that didn't know how to handle success. The writing was definitely improving when it comes to choices mattering and replayability but it was too little too late.
>As early as Wolf Among Us they were showing that they had frickall ability to meet deadlines
Years earlier. Episodes of Sam and Max 3 were delayed substantially, and at least one launched with significant bugs.
You know, unions are good, but also, this is happening to the people you expect to get fired. The pronouns. So I wonder if this is the industry finally correcting course.
Because the only people on earth who are aware that they did a Wallace and Gromit game are people who habitually used their forums when it was coming out and PC game magazine reviewers forced to play it.
Some fields do need unions, especially when it gets so large that doing anything on an individual level damn near impossible, such as Healthcare. The thing is that these guys screaming for unions don't realize that the employeer also has to agree to keeping Unionized workers on and not just booting them out the door to continue with no union.
Healthcare absolutely does not need a union. Right now the healthcare industry has been driven into the ground, you can't see a doctor without waiting 2 weeks to a month, and when you do see them all they do is tell you that it will pass.
t. someone with a fricked up shoulder
I don't think these guys are bright if they think unionizing is gonna stop them from losing their jobs. In fact, those are usually the first ones that get laid off like with the Kickstarter union some years back. Also, that recent writers strike which seems oblivious to the fact that studios might be paying more but they are buying less scripts and shows so there will be less writers hired unless they raise the subscription prices to pay for it.
Good. They should never have came back from the dead in the first place. They deserve to die. Same goes for Quantic Dream. Disco Elysium absolutely blew these "interactive narrative" games out of the water by showing us how you could do a choose your own adventure style game that is deep and complex and where the choices actually matter. If you're going to make a game that doesn't have gameplay, the narrative aspect better be interactive as frick to make up for it.
100% justified
its been in development for 5 years and they announce it wont be done before 2024, i bet they were all fired when the publisher saw its end of 2023 and have nothing
At some point you have to cut your loses and realize your studio is scamming you out of money
oh no time to pretend like anyone ever gave a frick about telltale
I liked the strong bad game
I enjoyed them most when they made their Sam and Max Games. While the Walking Dead style games were neat, they quickly ran it into the ground by putting out low quality games at the highest volume possible.

EGS is where games go to die.

???
Maybe the games would sell if they weren't Epic exclusive
Just a thought lmao
Where do they keep getting money from? How many times have they died for the same reasons?

How much would it really cost to make another Wolf Amongus? 15 million in development if you already have the engine ready. I’m guessing they were just that incompetent.
Telltale bankrupted themselves because they were moronic and paid out a fortune for licenses.
>I’m surprised a big name publisher hasn’t taken their idea yet.
They did. Square Enix, "Life Is Strange".
I'd argue that Quantic Dream has also been pretty much doing the same thing. Though their games aren't episodic.
The ESG money is being funnel into the Ukraine war this is why everyone in tech is getting laid off.
Damn

What was the reason for the fall of quality for Telltale anyway?
The OG season 1 of TWD was great, and so was The wolf amogus.
Did any key people leave after those?
Reception to TWD and TWA kept misattributing novelty to quality, and so they took the wrong message and remade the same game over and over with different licensed skins (most of which nobody bought, with some key exceptions like Minecraft and Borderlands).
>Did any key people leave after those?
Nope, the core staff remained so consistent that they went on to either Skunkape and nuTelltale after.

i hope you know there's a new wallace and gromit film coming out
after their studio went up in flames and literally melted all their shit? im worried the soul melted away with it
the fire destroyed their warehouse but it's not their studio, the warehouse just stored past props/characters/scenery
Because the only people on earth who are aware that they did a Wallace and Gromit game are people who habitually used their forums when it was coming out and PC game magazine reviewers forced to play it.
No more flinkbucks equals no more walking simulators
Was anyone actually surprised. Pozzed flops one after another
They didn't make that, which was considered internally to be a major reason for its failure.
That wasn't made by Telltale. That was all Gearbox.

Good. They should never have came back from the dead in the first place. They deserve to die. Same goes for Quantic Dream. Disco Elysium absolutely blew these "interactive narrative" games out of the water by showing us how you could do a choose your own adventure style game that is deep and complex and where the choices actually matter. If you're going to make a game that doesn't have gameplay, the narrative aspect better be interactive as frick to make up for it.
100% justified
its been in development for 5 years and they announce it wont be done before 2024, i bet they were all fired when the publisher saw its end of 2023 and have nothing
At some point you have to cut your loses and realize your studio is scamming you out of money
Unionization helps with a lot of things, but it doesn't help when shit writing makes people lose confidence in your new company and you make no sales.
