'Coming Soon To PC'
When is soon? I find it odd that you wouldn't release all platforms at the same time, but I find it stranger still that the PC releases aren't your primary concern, considering it's where Telltale began. Still, any word on when?

And yeah, the fact that Telltale seems to slowly be giving preference to iOS over the PC troubles me too. I can understand why they're doing it from a business perspective, but it still doesn't sit well. Partially because I'm a PC gamer, and partially because iGames tend to be...well, simple, casual stuff.
Im not hating on TTG. I just want to play L&O now. :P
You stole the words from my mouth! Give them back!
If they're making more money off iOS than PC then bully for them, but this is not the same Telltale I knew and loved.
I agree. I don't think it's a coincidence that BttF was both the first Telltale game to have a proper iPad release and the start of Telltale's apparent downward spiral.
I'm not trying to blame iOS for Telltale's change, nor am I saying Telltale should ignore iOS, but it's clear changes are happening over at Telltale, and not for the better.
As they'd already delayed Jurassic Park this year, and missed the release for The Walking Dead.
LucasArts has returned to their usual business plan of STAR WARS STAR WARS STAR WARS. It's unlikely we'll see any of their adventure IPs ever again. Hell, it's a miracle we even got Tales of Monkey Island and the Special Editions.
Yeah ok, so where's Republic Commando 2? Battlefront 3? the next mind blowing Indiana Jones game? No where to be seen, hell, what has Lucasarts been up to?!
LucasArts is barely a developer anymore. At this point they exist pretty much to hand out the Star Wars license to other devs. Aside from the two Force Unleashed games, I can't think of anything they've actually developed lately.
And I'm guessing lately they've been working on The Old Republic. Well, as much as you can be working on a game you didn't actually develop. :rolleyes:
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
I was lucky enough to be a tester on the first Throttle, and it is one of my favorite all-time games. First off, just releasing a port on iOS would be awesome. Such a great game.
And I was the lead designer on FT2... I fell in love with the world and characters. Wish we coulda finished that one.
Yeah, I remember you and Sean Clark giving a lecture about writing in games during those days...
I think I am one of the few Lucasarts-fans who was actually waiting for Hell On Wheels: the multiplatform adventure-action mix sounded interesting to me.
Why don't you? That would be INCREDIBLE.
Throw us a bone here, I really want to get this game sometime "soon", but if "soon" is not "soon" enough, I believe a lot of folks will lose interest
My interest is quite low right now, and fading due to the lack of information; Q1 is too vague and right now sounds more like April than Feb or March.
Preemtive answer:
I don't have an iDevice and I won't buy an iDevice to play a game (I don't like iDevices too)
Hey, speaking of ports that never came, whatever happened to the PS3 versions of Puzzle Agent 2 and Hector?
Heh. It materialized.
Well, I guess that's close to the per episode cost on the iOS devices if you didn't buy the season pack, but I have to ask. Why the $7ish premium?
Anything changed between the iOS version and the PC?
Because if not... $12ish seemed right since I happened to be back on an iDevice for now (btw, bring your stuff to the Windows devices). But if I'd just been holding out for the PC version, despite being a huge fan of L&O and Telltale, I have to admit that $20 would be a hard sell for me.
Was planning on picking up the PC version since I won't be stuck on this phone much longer. $15 or under would have been an instant rebuy for me (it's an easy threshold for impulse purchases), but I guess I'll wait a bit.
Whatever happened to the Wiiware version of Puzzle Agent 1?
Waiting that confirmation to buy.
With that price tag, I severely doubt it.
I think you're probably right about no collector's DVD, but I don't think price would be the reason.
Unless I'm getting it confused, I want to say that Wallace and Gromit had a preorder deal for around that price or maybe it was $25. Anyway, it had a fairly nice DVD released with extras.
PD: Also, the iPhone version it's about $12, why would the PC version be more expensive if it offers the same?
Well, Telltale's never really liked selling individual episodes right away.
But yes, the price difference kind of surprises me. Sure, iOS users have different expectations for games in the app store (ie. 'if it's not .99 cents, it's overpriced'), but still.
With Apple's cut of profits and fees for developing for the platform...Unless I'm missing something and the PC version has extra features or better casting or more gameplay, I get the feeling that pricing at $20 with no season discount as on iOS means PC gamers are helping subsidize the iOS version.
26$ even. That's 30% more than the present Law & Order offer.
this what it said on peutchase page. i brought the game for the pc and got 1 episode where are the other2
Try finding a switch button in the "chapter 1" screen, you should be able to choose from there.
