Tales for PS3

PC-Users can play TOMI, Wii-Users and Mac-Users, also.

So what about X-Box 360 und PS3 - Users?

Are there any plans to release a TOMI-Version for the PS3?

Unfortenately, thats the only platform i got at home. ^^

Think that would be awesome. I still have the PS2-Version of Escape from Monkey Island. Now i want to play Monkey Island on my PS3 also.

Any more people, sharing this wish?

    I'd love to see ToMI on the PSN.

    Does anybody know how well SoMI:SE sold on XBLA? That is probably a good example for how DLC adventure game sales are on consoles.

    Okay. But there should be a BluRay Version for the PS3, too. Cause i have no internet. :D

    Very well, or so i thought. And Sam&max's sales weren't/aren't too shabby either.

    Even though I already own them on PC, I would love to see these on ps3 just for the added graphical boost alone.

    Not to excited about moving the pointer around using analogue sticks but hey....pretty graphics without framerate problems is my dream.

    PSN is a big failure. I doubt any Monkey Island game will ever be released on it. You know, Playstation is doing well mostly in Japan, therefore most US online-distributed games are PC or Xbox only, while Japanese games like Final Fantasy are PS3-only in Japan but have American Xbox versions.

    I wouldn't Call PSN a Failure. I would say it's doing better than Wiiware. If only they would add more PS1 classics (and the rumoured PS2/dreamcast games). There are plenty of unique games on there, like fat princess, and flower.

    You could install another OS on ps3, like linux, the install a windows emulation layer, like WINE, then give the ps3 some stilts, add some yellow 5 for color, some strawberry syrup (for flavor), make a lamb, er monkey sacrifice in front of it (to appease the gods). Ok, I went a little (a lot) overboard, with that one...
    But seriously - a ps3 port would be great - as would any port - TMI needs to reach the masses...

    HAHA, PSN not a failure? I really don't like fanboys...
    Just to make sure you know I do own a PS3 AND an Xbox and a Wii (sadly)
    It's clear you never visited Xbox Live, or read any news on PSN sales, add-on availability and so on

    The PSN Isn't THAT bad though, I'd say the US PSN is much more organised and shows off better compared to the crappy EU version anyway. The thing with the PSN is that is sort of lacks that High Impact that the XBLA has, that's why there seems to be many more exclusives and well known games on Xbox Arcade first, then the most popular being ported to PSN a year later, the PSN just sort of lacks and major exclusives, only one I can think of would be Flower and Fat Princess.

    We all know Playstation sells poorly in the US and mostly for the reason I already wrote above, also, I use both the US PSN and UK (for singstar songs downloads) and there isn't any difference between them at all, both are very messy and lack good stuff.

    Also, Fat Princess is boring
  • edited February 2010
    Why Sony insist on only putting rubbish PS1 games on I really don't know. There are so many greats they haven't included (in the EU at least) yet - Die Hard Trilogy, Theme Park World, Resident Evil 1+2, Discworld, Destruction Derby 2, GTA1+2... there are more, my mind just isn't working right now.

    Lies! EU PSN and US PSN are arranged quite differently, the US PSN makes sense, if I want a Demo, I choose Demo, if I want to browse Add On Content, I choose Add On, if I want to find a game with Trophies, I can do that. EU PSN just has Latest and throws everything to that and the rest of the categories might as well not exist as they don't add much.

    Also, the PS3 is doing rather well now, last year was brilliant for the PS3, I got a string of great games in a matter of months, Arkham Asylum, Assassins Creed II and Uncharted 2, two games that have more content on the PS3 version and one game that's an exclusive. :)

    As for Sales, the PS3 is doing well in Japan, yes, and it's doing well in Europe, only the US where the 360 has it beat.
  • edited February 2010
    The PSNs can be arrenged differently, but their structures are the same.
    So since Telltale is an US company, you can keep dreaming Tales is going to be on PSN forever. Assassin's Creed exclusive content is about the PSP (duh) and PS3 owners can't even download the GTA episodes. I have both Uncharted games, and I love them, they're actually the only games that made my PS3 purchase worth it. I'm not stating the PS3 is not a good console, I'm saying PSN is crap compared to all other competing online services, just get over it.
  • edited February 2010
    Sorry to break it to you, but you do sound like a fanboy.

    The PSN isn't bad if you only consider downloads themselves. Sure it doesn't have the extensive library of XBLA, but does that make PSN sucky? I think not. At least you can download games, and isn't that the only thing that matters? I mean, what else do you need from a DLC service? It's not like Steam is any better, oftentimes it lists DLC in the same search as regular games, not to mention demos also get displayed in that list.

    And I think you should really do your research. The only reason GTA DLC wasn't coming to PSN was due to the exclusive deal made trough Microsoft, who actually paid money for this exclusive deal. Same went for Fallout 3, and after the exclusive deal expired, DLC actually came for PS3.

    *cough*

    Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City is a standalone compilation of the DLC episodes for Grand Theft Auto IV, containing both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony on one disc.[1] It was released alongside the DLC release of The Ballad of Gay Tony on 29 October 2009 for the Xbox 360 and will be released on 30 March 2010 for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 3.

    PSN is better than Wiiware, I've used both. Wiiware has annoying size limitations, and the virtual console titles are overpriced by a huge margin, I mean most games are 1000 wii points, and that's $19. $19 for a game from the 90's is ridiculous.

    I've used PSN, it's been really good for me. I mostly used it for the PixelJunk games, PixelJunk Shooter was a surprisingly fantastic game. It was all about fluid physics and manipulation water and lava, I absolutely loved it.
  • edited February 2010
    Although to be brutally honest, Steam pwns all the other online services. It has more sales and allows you to use it across multiple computers. It's WAAAAY better than PSN, Wiiware and XBLA. They're not even comparable.

    Wow, did this thread ever get side-tracked.

    thin029, can you please avoid posing inflammatory and polarizing statements about your product preferences, regardless of how strongly you feel about them, its really not constructive to this particular discussion.

    The whole point of this discussion was to voice an interest to get ToMI on more platforms, which I fully support as I feel ToMI isn't as widely known as it deserves to be.

    I don't see any significant hurdle with getting ToMI on XBL since the 360 architecture is very similar to the PC one, resulting in a fairly small porting process. I imagine that the only reason it hasn't happened so far is because Telltale Games doesn't feel the audience would be large enough (sales wouldn't cover the cost of porting). I think this is a chance for people to voice their interest in such a port.

    As for the PSN, the porting process would be more involved given the complex architecture of the PS3. I'm not certain if there are any inexpensive programs / outsourcers which would perform the task for Telltale Games at a reasonable cost but I guess they would know for sure.

    If any Telltale Games representatives read this, could you please let us lowly, grogg-drinking fans know of the prospect of having ToMI on XBL or PSN. Yarrrr....

    What part of the DOWNLOAD you did not understand. As I said before, PS3 is a great console, but PSN is NOT a great online service. Period

    WiiWare has its own path to follow, since it's on a limited system with limited memory. As for PSN, it's just an Xbox Live Wanna-be which clearly won't make it. And 1000 wii points are actually $10, just saying.

    What exactly should I get over? I'm just defending the PSN because you're hating on it, if you were bashing Live, I'd defend it because you're hating, same for PC Gaming, etc. All services have their good and bad points, Live benefits from user paying to access the service.

    WiiWare is rubbish though, I know the Wii has the market top hand but I still can't believe TellTale wasted their time to do a shoddy port for the Wii when they could of done it for Xbox or PS3 instead.

    edit: As for GTA, they're being released for Download too, the updated versions off the EFLC Disc, so that makes the Windows Live and PSN versions better than the Xbox Live versions, which is understandable since they came out much later.
  • edited February 2010
    I thought that they would port to PS3 long before they would port to Mac. Either way, recent events suggest that the odds of Telltale porting the TTT to PS3 is very high.

    What I want to know is: Is the Mac TTT a polished Wii TTT, or has it been built from scratch.

    Oh, and ignore thin029, please. He is a blatant fanboy and should be treated as such.

    I'm sorry, do I know you? Pointing facts on how worse is an online service compared to others is not fanboyism where I live.

    Wii doesn't support local pricing. In Australia, 1000 points are $19.

    PSN costs a little bit more, but it only follows the exchange rate, so things are only 10% more expensive, unlike the ridiculous double pricing of the Wii. So PSN beats WiiWare in that department.

    And thin (you big fanboy), you can download the GTA games. There was no difficulty in porting them over to PSN, they only delayed it because Microsoft wasted $150,000,000 in securing an exclusivity deal. They didn't even make close to that from sales.
  • edited February 2010
    I don't care about the reasons for the delay, if Sony weren't smart enough to waste the money themselves, this is a PS3-Only gamer problem. The thing is PSN lacks everything from demos to add-ons, or it makes you wait like a year for something other services already had. And it lacks original full games (like Monkey Island) because it's a failure in US and you fanboys can't get over this.

    Actually it was $50 Million, they made back $30 Million alone with DLC sales of The Lost and Damned, and that's not counting the amount of people it swayed to get the 360 version of the game as well as the console because people thought it was an exclusive. Microsoft paid the money and got the results they were after.

    QUOTE]

    I'm sorry but that statement is pure fanboyism.
    How can you even compare a paid for service to a free one?
    To play multiplayer online is free on the PSN.
    So how is that not great? :confused:
    The world is a little bit bigger than only your country's borders.

    Telltale got it wrong betting on the Wii.
    A large portion of PC owners moved to either a Xbox360 or PS3 for their gaming needs. That's where the mature gamer spends his time, not on a Wii. PC gaming became too expensive. You can buy a console for the price of a good graphics card and know that your system will always be compatible.

    I'm lucky enough to have both a PC and PS3.
    I really wanted to get Sam & Max and other games for my PS3, since it will always be playable, unlike on a PC when Windows change, nothing works anymore.
    I got myself the whole Sam & Max: Season 1 for $3 on the PC.
    Telltale Games lost out on making money. Let's hope they will give Monkey Island a chance on the PS3...

    Wait, what?

    While I in general use Live more than PSN, this feels like half-baked fanboyism here. For one thing, PSN has no original games? There are apparently enough to have a Top 10 list, at the very least. And while Microsoft sometimes pays for timed exclusives, outside of that the demos and add-on packs are in line with their 360 counterparts.

    I have a 360 and a PS3 (and a Wii but it’s not important for that part). I refuse to pay any plan for web services, I already pay the game, the console, and my ISP. I don’t use XBL, this service is not that good when you’re not paying. I can’t play online. I can’t have the things when they come out. I can on the PSN, free. FREE.

    You’re a big fanboy, thin029, you’re comparing a free service to a paying one. You’re taking brand exclusivities for argument about service quality, which is dumb. PSN premium is going to be launched this year, and will probably have quite the same service as XBL have. But for me, it does not change anything. I’ll still be able to play online freely on the PSN, and also able to play some games you’ll never have the chance to play on the XBLA, while I still won’t be able to play online on the XBL.
    Does it mean one is better than the other ? Nope. It’s different services.
    I want to play Tracks HD and Splosion Man ? I think online gaming is very important, with vocal chat and everything when I kill people in my beloved war games ? I better go for XBLA and pay for the XBL services.
    I want to play Flower, Heavy Rain Chronicles and Blast Factor ? I play online only once in a trimester because I love (and can) play with friends next to me (or don’t like online gaming) ? Then the PSN is what I need.

    Seriously, if I’m searching for a content, no matter it’s 360 or PS3, it’s just sorted by categories on their online markets. There is no good or bad point here, nothing to debate. I’m looking for something special, I just enter the name in the searchfield. Same, it just works as expected. Here and there.

    What I hate in XBL, is that people who pay don’t pay only for more things, but also for privileges. And I hate that system. I hate seeing on a website that a demo is out, connecting, and seeing nothing, just because I’m not a VIP. I own a 360, and back then it was not cheap at all. But I have the cheapest service possible. No online gaming. No day-1 content.
    But I still go on the XBLA and the PSN when some content interest me. This debate is pointless ^^




    About the real topic of this thread, I think it’ll come someday. Telltale is interested in every platform who have potential. Wiiware have, PSN have, XBLA have, Mac have, PC, of course, have.
    I suppose we will have some clues before the end of the year, if Telltale is expanding enough, thanks to the success of ToMI and the next S&M season.

    If you're watching the prices, you can get Live cards for a fairly negligible cost. I bought a 12-month card for $30 recently, which is a clean $2.50 per month. I don't think that's too bad. Granted, it's $2.50 more each month than the PS3 players are paying, but it's not an exorbitant cost or anything.
  • edited March 2010
    Also, for one, I do agree that Wii Shop Channel is crap. It's slow as hell, and finding the game you want is such a drag when going trough a huge list of games which only shows ten items at a time.

    And XBLA is losing its exclusivity by the day. Castle Crashers for one is already coming to PSN now, and I wouldn't be surprised if more would come that way.

    Finally, aside from the fact that I thought this thread was dead, it really goes about nothing right now, at least it's not about the topic. Yes, ToMI should be coming to PSN, no, it won't happen until Telltale Games announces it.

    There are options to search by title, publisher, age group, whether people voted it Hardcore/Casual, ESRB rating, and I think a few other criteria. I had no trouble finding, for example, the pages for the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Wiiware games by typing "Ace" into the search bar under Search By Title.

    Take your 'fanboy' comments and huge generalizations elsewhere. This is not 4chan, digg, mmo forums or a place to impose console zealotry.

    I find PSN extremely easy to use. I just wish there were more good games on the service. I mainly use it to download demos.

    Yes, but that's only when searching directly for a game. When browsing trough categories, searching for a game in, for example, Arcade spawns up a list of games I don't even give a crap about. With scrolling trough each page and going trough the pages themselves being slow as hell, it's no wonder I easily get disappointed when I can't find anything.

    If everything just got displayed in small icons or in one list with no images, it might just increase browse-ability.

    You know, I get really sick of the stupid rants people have against other people who like a product or service enough to give it high praise.

    PS3 fanboys... XBOX fanboys... Zelda fanboys... Halo fanboys...

    Bullshit, I say. If people like something, stop trying to be so damned argumentative and put them down just because they have brand/product loyalty. I love Monkey Island and think it's the best Adventure Game series ever made. Does that make be a fanboy? If it does, then SO FRICKEN WHAT? I bet the load of people who ridicule others for being "fanboys" are just being argumentative, and passing it off as "objectivity."

    Never thought of fanboy/girl as an insult. The way I see it, it's just that fan is gender neutral and can be confusing so there are the 'not-gender-neutral" ones. I'm a fangirl because I'm a female fan, that's all, just like my girlfriends are my friends who are female. It's not derogatory (at least I don't take it as such).

    It can be used either way, though. "Fanboy" is used as an insult when it's assumed or postulated that the subject of the insult has had their judgement clouded by blind brand loyalty. Speaking of which...

    As much as you might think so, brand loyalty as a principle is not usually a good idea. A brand is just a familiar producer of products. If you come to the point where your trust in the brand outweighs the value of the actual product being sold, you're playing into the hands of those whose very career rests on mass manipulation, that is, marketing teams.

    There's a reason "objectivity", as you so unflatteringly put in air quotes, is valued by some over picking a side and screaming across the room.
  • edited March 2010
    I do have to say that I never understood the "if you don't like absolutely everything about X then you're not a real fan". Especially for a series of something, if you like one less and people go "you have to like it just as much or you're not a real fan".
    I don't get it. First you can like something without liking everything about it, and you're still a fan. Then you can like a series without liking every part of the series. And it seems to me being objective and critical makes it matter more when you do like something.
    That is, if someone tells me what I write is great even when I know it needs improvement, I'm not going to trust their judgment much. Because if they always say "it's great!", no mater what, how can I trust them? How can I know if it's actually great or if it sucks but they won't say so?
    I prefer people who can tell me what's good and what's bad and needs improvement. Sure I'll pout but then I'll make it better and I'll be happy.

    Anyways, just a side-thing. I think brand loyalty to some extent is similar to that. While it's good to give a brand a chance when you trust them, even if they failed you this time, staying true to a brand that you're unhappy with out of brand loyalty seems... foolish. And liking something just because it's the brand's seems very weird to me. Especially if the exact same thing made by another brand would get your hatred.
    Kinda like sport hooligans. You have a team you like and one you hate, just based on the shirt's colours, even though the players change and could very well go from the loved team to the hated one or vice-versa. It seems so arbitrary.

    EDIT: I suppose people being called "fanboys" annoys me because, though I love the Nostalgia Critic's and Linkara's video reviews, I was browsing thatguywiththeglasses.com and came across Spoony's multi-part review of Final Fantasy VIII. I mean, he spent hours and hours playing through the game and was whining and bitching about everything in it. No, I didn't watch the whole review. I love FF8. It's one of my favorite RPGs ever.

    In the comments for his videos, I wrote that I disagreed wholeheartedly with his bashing of the game and gave reasons why I thought his arguements were stretched thin, and how it appeared that he was manufacturing reasons that didn't make sense. (Some might say it was all an act, but then why would he make a fake review that was collectively 11 hours long?)

    For my trouble, I was called a fanboy by numerous people.
