    ...this is just too awesome. I'm speechless. Original voice acting, I presume?

    That screenshot looks just like the cartoon. You've got the looks down right.
    Do you have an expected release date? Q2 2009?
    What platforms?

    So many questions...
    Woooooooo-hoo!

    The only reason I found out about this because of a Blog post that led me to the site (the smallest Sam and Max tribute article) and noticed the site design was different. I was wondering if the smaller header applied to the main page or not (it did).

    Hope this game is good.

    Are the characters going to be voiced by the same people?
    Is the game episodic?
    Should I just be patient and wait until Monday? :P

    Holy cow! OMG! You've GOT to be kidding! No way! Get out of town! Wallace & Gromit! I already knew I was in love with you Telltale, but now this is beyond love. Where do I kneel?

    I very much agree with you Gabez. This is an awesomely unpredictable move, but such a perfect fit for Telltale and the episodic format!

    They should do it Neverhood-style.

    Hm.

    I'm not quite ecstatic yet, to be honest.

    But yes, this is definitely not the kind of thing I was expecting(and no, I wasn't expecting a LucasArts adventure franchise!). And wow was it a surprise!

    I'm going to, at the very least, give the first game a try. I suppose Telltale is going to do the "Upgrade to the full season after buying one episode" deal they do with Sam and Max? If so, then I'll probably buy the first episode and see if I really enjoy it.

    Curse of the Were-Rabbit was fun, and I liked it. But I honestly hadn't seen much of Wallace and Gromit before that, and it's not a franchise that I can't wait to get released, like Sam and Max and Homestar.

    ....

    Don't kill me, guys. ;_;

    Congratulations, guys!
    This is a far more international license than Strong Bad. I've always loved the characters and I'm ready to jump in! :)

    Wow, guys, really, really didn't see this one coming. This is beyond awesome. The humour (we'll have to spell it like that now, I guess) is pretty different from that of Strong Bad and Sam & Max. Guys, this is really, really awesome. Can't wait!

    Heh, the first thing I did was check to see if it would be in claymation. :p

    Once again I'm caught completely by surprise. Oh well, at least this time it's a franchise I've actually heard about. I've never seen much Wallace & Gromit related stuff, but I liked what I have, so I'll be eyeballing this one.

    Aside from the rampant fanboyism I'm gushing right now, what other W&G games were there? Are you referring to console games?

    And I'm copy-pasta-ing right here - first Sam & Max, then Strong Bad, now Wallace and Gromit! I may explode! In fact, *bam* :)

    There was Project Zoo (I had the PS2 version, not sure if it was on any other consoles), but I can't think for the life of me what the other one was.

    Awe, I was really hoping that you guys would keep this a secret until the panel on Saturday. For the most part, so that I could be one of the few people to say, "I know what the mystery franchise is and you don't," before news hits the Interweb about said franchise. I admit, that would have been rather cruel on my part.

    I'm not a big fan of Wallace & Gromit myself, but I'll follow the development, and see how it shapes up. Come to think of it, I'm pretty much programmed to buy anything with the name "Telltale" on it, anyway.

    WOW. This took me by complete surprise. I don't think Wallace & Gromit ever even entered into my head as a possibility. And to top that, I didn't realize that picture was an actual screenshot from the game until someone pointed it out. It looks fabulous! I've been a fan of Wallace & Gromit forever! They will fit perfectly into the episodic adventure game model!

    Chicken Run and Flushed Away are awesome too!

    Amazing! I hope there's a Wii release similar to Sam & Max.

    MY god...this is AMAZING. I've been a Wallace & Gromit fan for many many years, so this is outstanding news. Kudos to you, Telltale!

    Of course, now I expect Sam, Max, Homestar, Strong Bad, Wallace, Gromit, and the Bone brothers to all be playable in Telltale Texas Hold 'Em 2...

    (On a side note, I'm guessing it's safe to assume that Peter Sallis will be reprising his role as Wallace?)

    I second that. You'll see production time quadruple for one episode, but it would be a sweet product in the end.


    Not being a huge fan of the W&G series, I wonder what direction they'll take this series. Hopefully it won't end in a *yawn* endless back and forth dialogue sequence switching between medium shots of the characters....

    Telltale, are you listening? I don't just want to see animated arms waving around, I want expression!!
