I've just read on a german computer mag site ( http://www.gamestar.de/news/pc/spiele/adventure/sam_max/1468834/sam_max.html ) that Jowood also will come out with a retail version localised to five different languages.
Different publishers and localisations for different countries?
Will the version TTG will offer to season one customers also include localisations?
No, we'll be doing our own packaged version for season holders. And no, before you ask, it's not "the cheap version," it's just a different version. Promise.
Also, we can't tell you what will be on the Telltalegames.com Season Set customers' version, or what will be on the TAC version, or how they'll be different, etc etc yet because we haven't figured any of that out yet! We'll let you know, though, with requisite trumpets, cherubs etc.
I don't think we've worked any of that out. At least, I don't know any details yet.
By the way, does JoWood's Sam&Max localisation concern also voices or not ?
Just please don't send CDs in paper sleeves. I don't care if I have to pay an extra dollar for shipping, just give me a plastic case. :cool:

Don't worry, it'll be in a case.
Remember, Telltale's full of oldschool adventure gamers. We hate games that come in paper sleeves just as much as you guys do.
Charles Cecil: I'm always enormously flattered that we have a really solid fanbase. And by God, while they're happy to tell you what they like, they're happy to tell you what they don't like! That's incredibly useful, because most industries pay all this money for market research; we get it for free, which is wonderful. *
I rest my case

Thanks, talltale!! and thanks Jowood!
But I have one question.. what 5 languages??
Notre: Sorry I don't see the other post :P
(Sam: "You see, the commisioner wants us to solve the crimes with the jello pudding and the chocolate and the vanilla and the flavor...."
Max: "Oh boy, with the fighting and the shooting and the kodak film and the Huxtable family and the pokemon with the poke and the mon and the thing where the guy comes out of the thing and he graablahaaa!")
If they should do so, I hope that Jowood will include the choice to select the subtitles and audio so that I can play it in English as well!!
*Coughs* maybe Telltale could make Jowood this Proposal
You could also use a simple serial key or activation code that comes with the CD.
I don't want to buy this game a second time, just to get them
Furthermore it's been assured, that the German retail-release will be multi language, including the original English version.
Although this is kinda good news for the people who haven't bought it on site, because they wanted to wait for a localized version, it leaves my quite frustrated. Just like Bruno83 I don't want to have to buy the game a second time around, yet obviously this will become a necessity IF I want the German version.
Anybody from TTG have an idea if an upgrade option for on-site season-buyers might be possible?
Bonus official sounding answer: "Telltale is still deciding how to proceed with our own localizations, and if we release localized versions, they will be available as free upgrades to people who already bought Sam & Max from us."
Super bonus unlockable third edit: It's worth noting that our release and the TAC/JoWood release are completely separate products. Customers won't be able to upgrade, downgrade, or crossgrade (is crossgrade a real word?) between them.
o TTG release some time after
o Retail version from TTG
o Retail version from another publisher(s) or portals
o Wii/XBox360 release
o Sheikh Abudlaha al Hasram's private version for his 24 sons
o The Bingo Bongo Loco version (that's the one Manu Chao is singing about then.)
o The $/&%!? torrent release
I'm sure i've missed most of the options somehow. :O)
I'm pretty sure the technical term is grade crossing/level crossing
That would be an amazing release.
And taumel, your list is kind of ridiculous.
I think the list is amazing and it should enlarge each day by at least one or two new entries in different languages... ;O)
By the way i've stumbled over a picture of Emily (more precisely two of them). Are there any pictures/videos which show the whole TTG crew?
Is that post-mortem article worth reading or not? The magazine's not available for free online, but I'm curious if there's anything special in the article (besides a photo of the team).
Hahaa, you're definately hiding behind technical confusing terms!
Oh, and where might these be? I've been looking for some.
