''TellTale games have become major players in the modern industry. Darlings of the critics, favourites of the consumer, life is good for TellTale. They’ve been securing license faster than Funko. Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Borderlands Minecraft and Batman form the current core catalogue of licences TellTale have access to. That’s a whole lot of brand power.''
GitHyp: "While the expensive licensed properties made it easy for their games to garner attention on popular gaming news sites, we were always shocked with how few gamers actually played Telltale’s games… especially when analyzing their player counts and comparing to Steam’s most played games."
As hard as it was, I planned on waiting to buy it till all the episodes were out.
Probably should've just bought the season and waited.
Except, that's up in the air, and has even been delisted from digital storefronts. I hope it does get completed, but be thankful you don't have to wait and hope you will get what you paid for, as some gamers clearly do. If I had to guess, I think Telltale will find someone to help finish the last season, but it's not a certainty.
Their games looked like low budget indie titles. Why did they have such a huge staff? No wonder they went bankrupt. Sounds like mismanagement!
*plays trendy music and gets on horse saddle* Because we here at telltale games have the best games like exciting walking dead, this is the future, everybodys doing it! give us youre money :D
Can't say this for certain. But my theory is that word has gotten around that the series may not get finished. That in itself will drive people away
No, everything they released past season 1 did nowhere near those same numbers. Season 2 did ok but sold only a quarter of what season 1 did. Their games have all been financial failures outside of Season 1 and minecraft.
I always enjoyed these games but I just don't rush out and get everything brand new. I don't have the money and I have a huge backlog as it is, so it's a shame it had to go down like that. Sadly, if management was that inept that they couldn't make a successful studio stay in business then they never had a chance. I can't imagine how infuriated I'd be if I poured the extreme hours the talented programmers, artists, etc., put into their games and just get dropped one day out of the blue, like, "Sorry, we sucked at business. Bye!"
The developer requests "a temporary pause".
Twinfinite: It be super obvious from the title, but just in case, MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING for the first three seasons of Telltale’s The Walking Dead, ahoy. Without further ado though, here are the most emotional, and heart-breaking moments in the TWD Telltale franchise to-date.
Word, I love their games but they need to upgrade badly. There's too many glitches that disrupt gameplay and all the animations are in desperate need of updating I swear I hate seeing the same facial expressions over and over.
I'm not sure I'm ready for the cost of a new engine.
On consoles, TT games launch at $20. If you wait until all episodes are available and them buy, you usually can grab their games on sale for $5. Example: PSN had Tales from the Borderlands for like $3.75 last week and $7 a few weeks before that.
Point is: I buy telltale games for their story-telling. They're usually 8-12 hour games that tell an entertaining story and they carry a low cost ($). Honestly, I'd prefer their story-telling get even better before their graphics engine. I'm currently playing Game of Thrones on PS4 (Just got dones with TWDS2, Tales from Borderlands is next) and I'm satisfied with how it looks.
I remember The Walking Dead Season 1 on Xbox 360 though. That game was glitchy and the frame rate would be really low at times.
