bishopcruz Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Today, Telltale Games is announcing an exclusive worldwide publishing agreement with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to develop video games for the comic book series Fables, and an exclusive worldwide agreement to develop and publish a series of videogames based on the AMC cable network’s zombie hit “The Walking Dead.” So, best current Adventure game developer hits a couple of kickass series... neat. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I've never read Fables, but sign me up for The Walking Dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) so win? walking dead could be really cool, I assume they'll go away form the cartoony stuff they'd done till now so I'm really curious about the style. Rereading that it's the TV show and not the comic? not having read the comic yet is there much difference? Don't know enough about fables to know if thats gonna be cool or not but they make really good game so... Some people on gaff saying there should be 3 more titles to be announced as well, just some site broke the embargo, lets see if it's true!

Jables Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Clocking in with some Fabletown love! The menu will be the business office, we'll play at some point as Bigby and it'll be fucking grand! Walking Dead, I've seen enough of.

Iambaytor Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 ASC, I could recommend Fables to you in 1001 ways, but let me just say this: 101 issues in, and it's still as good as the first issue. Picture League of Extraordinary Gentlemen only with fairy tales instead of Victorian era novels, and less anal rape. Also it doesn't suck after the end of the second volume. Though to be honest partway through the series Bigby Wolf becomes a little too much like Wolverine and the Great Fables Crossover is one of the worst things commited to paper, but it picks up again after that. The Walking Dead makes sense as a point-and-click adventure, except I fear 80% of the puzzles will be figuring out how to avoid zombies. I have no idea how a Fables point-n-click would work, or who the main character would even be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how a Fables point-n-click would work, or who the main character would even be. I still think the first story arc is the weakest, and also: it is important if we're going there, to note that Bigby probably does Wolverine better than Wolverine (and with more constant depth). Agreed on the Great Fables Crossover, though (and Jack having his own series in general). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that he's the best there is at what he does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 So you're saying that he's the best there is at what he does? I'm saying that Bill Willingham is. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APANCHALYPSE RETURNS Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Can we assume that these games will have mobile counterparts, as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Interview Interview on the walking dead game, it'll be based on the comic not the TV series as reported and of course it'll be episodic.

Thelogan Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 YEaaaaaah! Fables! I never really thought about it being like the League of Appropriated Characters for some reason, but that's actually a pretty apt description. It's like the same fuckin' thing with more...stability. I would never complain about a healthy dash of rape though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Link Yesterday was a big day for episodic game developer Telltale. Not only did it announce a new game series based on Walking Dead and show off the first playable version of Jurassic Park, it also announced four other new titles. Of particular interest to the IGN Editors is a reboot of the classic point-and-click franchise, King's Quest, although, sadly, no details were discussed other than the reboot's existence. Here's everything we know about Telltale's upcoming lineup: King's Quest: Not a port of the original, this will be an entire reboot of the franchise. Expect more details at E3 in June. Puzzle Agent 2: Last summer Puzzle Agent, a bizarre take on the Professor Layton formula, was released on PC and iOS platforms (it'll make its way to the PlayStation Network this spring). The sequel, Puzzle Agent 2, is coming this summer to all the same platforms. It again stars Agent Tethers and takes place in the snowy Midwest. More Hector: Badge of Carnage: The first episode of Hector, a mature, gritty point-and-click adventure, was released independently by developer Straandlooper on the iPhone last summer ( IGN gave it an 8.5). Telltale is partnering with Straandlooper to first bring Episode 1 to iPad, PC, and Mac this spring. Two more Episodes will be released later this year. Hector: Badge of Carnage Fables: Telltale will bring the Vertigo comic book series to PC, Mac, and consoles in Q1 of 2012. Fables stars famous characters from fairy tales and mythology that have been forced out of their Homelands. Expect more details at Comic-Con in July. Mostly looking forward to a new kings quest!!! Still though they look to be bigger then I thought, I wonder if they will ever get around to more Monkey Island ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Does a King's Quest game mean the triumphant and inevitable return of Roger Wilco and Space Quest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I really hope so, cause honestly of the 2 Quest games, Space Quest was the quality title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 i entirely missed out on that gen of PC games. i got King's Quest collection off a telltale pack a while back, and i wanna say space quest is up on GOG? a thread with highlights of said series would prolly entice me. I get why Los isn't a huge fan of Telltale's production style, but i have to love them for spear-heading the revival of adventure gaming. Walking Dead is likely bought, Fables will likely finally get me to read more of the series. PS @ mobile platform - i think the closest we've seen for strongbad, etc was wiiware. they're all over PSN, XBLA, and tons of PC formats, but i dont think ive seen them try their engine on mobile platforms yet. you can most likely get a really good SCUMM emulator for old-school Sam & Max, Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island etc though.

The NZA Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Bryan Lee O'Malley (creator of Scott Pilgrim) says: Telltale wanted to do Scott Pilgrim but I said no. I couldn't see it as an adventure game. All respect to them, though somewhere, gunsmithx weeps at the union that could've been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
