Talking Telltale is a weekly Podcast/Videocast. Coming soon to iTunes!
Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
I really enjoyed this series so far, I just finished the 3rd chapter last night. Great to hold me over for the mid-season break or whatever it is from the TV series.
"I don't always play clicky story games, but when I do, its The Walking Dead from Telltale."
The only way it would change the way someone looked at games was if they had never played a title like this. It's not some revolutionary game concept, it's revisiting an old one. That said, it was very good and I have no problem with it being named GotY by anyone, though I preferred Journey myself.
