Expansions!
Totally love this game. One concern, though - after playing it for a while, eventually they're gonna tell the same old stories and have the same old conversations. Now, for $5, what do I expect, right? Sure. But I would pay Real American Cash Money for more dialogue and more characters.
The extra characters wouldn't even have to play - it could be Sam stopping in to see what's going on, watching the game and commenting from the peanut gallery. Or The Cheat could drop by and fill in for Strong Bad while he goes to the bathroom.
Just have fun with it!

Being able to wander around the joint in general would be quite cool, perhaps getting to play the arcade game or chat to the barman.
I think Flint would be my #1 choice for an expansion. But also Bender, who you could sort of count 'cos there have been Futurama games... Actually, make that Farnsworth. Actually, can we just have Futurama Poker?
I'd be happy if they just made a 'new game with a new set of four characters', because even though you wouldn't be able to mix and match characters from this game, it actually sounds feasable! As long as there was an option to keep your stats sheet and money won records from this game, it'd be great.
The main thing I'd want is a female character though, say Elaine or someone... not someone 'too feminine' like Marzipan, but someone who can actually still be witty, charismatic, and mocking towards the guys when she needs to be, but have a naturally different personality in the smalltalk.
It'd be nice if we saw a little more of Winslow (or Dealer-Who-Resembles-But-Is-Legally-Distinct-From-Winslow, at least), I think.
That'd be a good idea, too. I didn't think of it because I don't play TF2, but it still makes sense
Maybe if they do an expansion they do a similar formula with one of each
I would like to see an extra character or two, but someone that is not a S&M or a Homestar char since we have one of each already, but someone new and easy to get the license to like maybe Doc Brown from BTTF or Francis from L4D.
Be cool to see old TT licensed chars like Phoney Bone
Four new characters, would mean four times as much dialogue (from 16 "units of monologue" directed at another character, including the Player, to 64), so $12 would be a more reasonable price.
And Speaking of McFly, on the subject of adding characters from additional licenses, Bender would indeed be an absolute joy and a obvious choice if somehow Telltale could pull that one off. I can see it already. But I won't hold my breath on that one.
But yes. Expansion. More characters. Throwings of bricks of monies at Telltale.
Maybe with enough characters there can be a series of games forming a real tournament.
The company that made the terrible Futurama video game from a while back went under, so I think the gaming rights to Futurama are up for grabs.
I doubt that Comedy Central would be willing to participate in something like that, though. The easiest characters to implement in future Inventory games are ones who are creator-owned. You'll notice three of the four characters in Poker Night are creator-owned.
Not entirely. Sure you need some new conversation material, but you basically just need to record the interaction with the new character and the old group. Or, you could pair it with another expansion character, where there would also be interaction with that other character.
Eventually, when a new expansion pack is released, this would still count. Put interaction between the old group and the new bunch, as well as interaction between each other.
Eventually though people also want interaction between the first and second expansion pack, so there would be a free expansion available automatically for those who own these two expansions, so that interaction could happen between these two packs.
But yeah, might be a tad too complicated.
Oh, and I would love for some very strange other-license characters, like Otra from Girly, or Jake the Dog from Adventure Time. You know you want the last one, especially if Bender would be added as well. The interaction between Jake and Bender would just implode the game. And your face.
Talking about imploding faces, why not TMBG? Or any other band Telltale Games loves?
Talking about love, how about Scott Pilgrim? Eh? Or perhaps some other better known comic license.
Like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Or...
...Assuming the game works, that is
I like to see 2 additional characters at the table with the option of playing 5-7 player games.
But the question would be... who?
I think anyone from the four series already represented is out.
Marty from BttF would be close to a no-brainer here. Perhaps Doc could be seen at one of the tables on the floor. Or vice-versa. Play style, I don't know... TF2 item, dunno...
and the other... hmm...
(I don't think Nelson would play something as simple as texas hold 'em)
Maybe he can play omaha- no bad idea, very bad idea.
One search and I found out, that there is actually a game called puzzle poker...and now i have no choice but to try out the demo.
(I have to solve puzzles to stop me from thinking
One of those I play between Telltale releases.
It definatley feels like a title that could be added to.
(not that it lacks, but has possibilities.)
Any word on the possibility?
