Yay cant wait!! I want this game way more than all the others!
Its simple, clever and fun. All the things a good adventure game should be.
More like this please TTG
So glad this game is getting a sequel. Puzzle Agent is honestly one of my favourite games ever and absolutely up there with the Monkey Islands and Sam and Maxes.
I have barely started the first one (I got stuck on the door puzzle, refused to take any hints, still refuse to take any hints, and have avoided the forums as a result to avoid getting spoiled... but I also haven't gone very far in the game as a result >.>) but I'm definitely thinking I'll buy the second one. I really liked the graphics and gameplay.
Puzzle games aren't really my thing, but... with the company going in all sorts of directions with the games, I want to show my support for the one I actually like.
Can't wait for PA2! I'm not sure if this is just going to finish up the story or if it does well they'll keep making more but I'll be buying this right away and hoping for more Nelson!
I'm really looking forward to this! PA1 was a really good one, hoping TTG keep'em coming! Loved this type of Twin Peaks/X-files feeling, still it wasn't as scary as lots of other games are. I'm a bit like this girlfriends mentioned in this thread, and Puzzle Agent was a game that was perfectly balanced with both scare gnomes and beautiful drawings! Monkey Island, Wallace and Gromit and Puzzle Agent- what did I play before i found TTG?!
In he Northern hemisphere, Summer doesn't start until June (the 21st of June, more specifically, so even two thirds into June). May certainly isn't summer anywhere in the world.
In UK summer begins mid May, in Ireland 1st of May, so that statement has been proven false. Anyway let's drop this subject and hope they stick to the promised (most of Northern hemisphere) spring release
The playtest invitation over last weekend should indicate that it's as good as finished. What's the usual timeframe from then? I think the date for TMI 103 was announced within a few days after for the week after that, wasn't it? My memory's rather blurry and holey.
You playtester peeps, you're going to remember better than anyone else! When on average do we get to download after the playtest you go in for?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaweeeeeeeeeeeeesooooooooooooooomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I *LOVED* the first puzzle agent!
And I literally jumped from my chair everytime the hidden people interrupted my puzzles.
SCARY!
So.... yeah. Can't wait for PA2.... Guess I'll even play the first one once more before release....
Sorry, Jake. I feel like a kid at Christmas, the difference being I know what I'm getting but don't know when. Any teasers in the offing? Pleeeeaaaaase...

Wait, some countries place equinoxes and solstices at different dates as others? That doesn't make sense.
No clue what you mean by that.
Anyways, I checked an encyclopedia before writing my first post and it never mentioned that some countries did it differently, only specified the dates of equinoxes and solstices and explained that's what seasons are. I assumed it was a global consensus since that's also how it was taught to me.
Wikipedia though does specify that not all countries do it the same way (at least the English one does. Haven't checked the French one). It seems pretty weird to me (like deciding on definitions for day and night that have nothing to do with whether the sun is up or not) but it seems I was wrong! (So is my French encyclopedia).
Still, it makes sense for Telltale to give deadlines that match the place where they are, not other places in the world. Doesn't mean they can't miss them, but they don't miss them based on other parts of the world (just like with their release dates being that day for them, not for Australia or Europe).
So Ireland's summer starting on the 1st of May, although interesting, is still as irrelevant as Australia's starting in December (they do follow the seasons I know, don't they?)
This reminds me of an anecdote. When I was a kid I thought that seasons, like months, just kept the same names in the Southern hemisphere as they do in the Northern, but that summer was cold and winter was hot.
I was a bit wrong about the Irish seasons, my knowledge is based on a 9 month stay on the Emerald Island. Over there summer begins 1st of May on calendar, but Met Eireann says it's June, July and August (like everywhere else). You're a bit off with the astronomical definition of the seasons. Solstices and equinoxes are in the middle of a season, not the beginning. So that would make the start of summer halfway between spring equinox and summer solstice. Astronomically, TTG missed the deadline but by meteorology they are still on.
You're a bit off with the astronomical definition of the seasons.
Apparently, in some cultures, you're right!
The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In some cultures they are considered to start or separate the seasons, while in others they fall nearer the middle.
The way I was taught, they start them. So while the day might change from one year to the next, generally Spring starts on the 20th of March, Summer on the 21st of June, Fall on the 22nd of September and Winter on the 21st of December. However we tend to just say the 21st for all even though it's generally around it only.
And we have a cool contest starting today where you can enter to win early access to the FULL Puzzle Agent 2 game about two weeks before it actually launches to the rest of the world!
I like the poster and it's the first TT production i'm interested in since S&MS3.
Honestly i don't expect the story to be interesting, most probably more of the ususal tell a little bit more about this, on the other side leave that unanswered, just these neverending things without a real story behind but i expect the puzzles to be more interesting than in part 1.
I still have Controller Mate and Language Switcher installed, so i hope it at least will be playable with these helpers on the Mac.
This contest releasing the game 2 weeks early - I was under the impression that Telltale works on their games up to the very last minute, making sure everything is as good as it can be. Why have a finished product just hanging out for 2 weeks before release? Just for a little contest?

"Return to Scoggins" in the trailer is a pretty big hint.

Over here in Finland, May is spring. In England it's summer and Down under it's fall. So go figure...
According to the recent trend I think the game's just gonna pop out one day without a set release date. Could be this week or the next.

We'll get some information and details at E3 on this, I'm 99.9% positive.

Yep, June 30!

Can we submit more than one contest entry?
As you can tell from my username, I'm super excited for the 30th (unless I win the contest, then sooner).
Honestly i don't expect the story to be interesting, most probably more of the ususal tell a little bit more about this, on the other side leave that unanswered, just these neverending things without a real story behind but i expect the puzzles to be more interesting than in part 1.

Maybe the english version is ready only and they still add some loco loca?
Maybe they are just mean beeings?
Maybe ...
App store submission for iOS, I think.
That and, like taumel said, we're mean beings.
Sweet!
I somehow prefer mean over boring beings, keep up the good work! A bee to be.
