Sweetness! This is even more of a suprise than when Bioware announced the Sonic DS RPG! I need to see more of teh game to really know if it's really worth the $10 (but knowing Telltale it probably is), but it looks amazing from the picture on teh first page!
I checked out some clips on youtube and have to say I have close to no interest in this. This is really disappointing to me after the big buildup you guys had for the third series, but I guess I'm in the minority.
I love Wallace and Gromit and I though the screenshot was from a still picture! Wonderful!
About expressions, Gromit speaks no words. So he only use expressions to talk!
I love it.
Epic jumping to conclusions going on here. I don't think anyone's said anything ever about "Wallace & Gromit go to America" in any shape or form.
More of a little jump to conclusion.
Beside in context with the rest of my post I was just highlighting that W&G is British and any attempt to change that would be a mistake. It wasn't a suggest that you were aiming to transplant our heroes.
Overall though I am still excited that you are doing it and hope that the Aardman people keep you straight on the humour and that you nail the British quirkyness of the characters/settings and humour.
Certainly more excited about this than the Strongbad games.
For us, the whole point of doing a licensed game is to take all of the things that make a particular license good and interesting, and translating that into an interactive narrative space. We didn't decide to do a Wallace & Gromit game because it was a known name we could turn into a platformer or minigame library or something. The characters and world and stories from the shorts and the film were an extremely appealing well from which we could draw some great games. Obviously its unique (northern) Britishness is a huge chunk of its appeal -- a driving force behind most of the tone and even plots of the stories -- so we would be massively crazy people to want to do anything but get as close to that as we can. Fortunately I think we're up to it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YES!!!! Original voice acting please! Wallace and Gromit are the greatest cartoon charecters EVER! The animation looks surprisingly accurate to the clay style it used to be in.

I can't wait for "Wallace and Gromit visit the Statue of Liberty", "Wallace and Gromit Eat Cheeseburgers", and "Wallace and Gromit Declare War on the Middle East".

It is very british humour and I'm not sure how well that translates to americans but it should do very well worldwide
I think it'll depend. I love British humour. I've been watching Britcoms on PBS for ages. Americans who are fans of W & G are likely Brit humour fans as well.

Umm... you're aware that not everyone who plays games is American?
Wallace & Gromit rocks, and outside the US they are a much bigger franchise than Strong Bad or Sam & Max - this is the first Telltale series I've actually known about the characters before they announced the games.

That just means you need to get out more on Teh Internets(TM)...
I'm not from the US either, but I've been a fan of all three franchises before Telltale even announced them...
To be honest, Wallace and Gromit has mainstream success - I'd guarantee that at least in the UK and Australia, the average person in the street will have heard of W&G even if they haven't seen any of the shorts or the movie - whereas Sam and Max and Homestar Runner are much lower profile, and more "cult", if you will.

Maybe a licensed unlicensed game?
get out...
what do you mean youtube videos?
No spoilers please.
Other than that - OMG OMG OMG!!!1!

This is the first time I've ever heard of this, so I watched some clips on youtube. Here are a few:

Seems targeted to young kids as far as I can tell. Ebert loved their movie though so maybe I'm wrong.

I'll still be buying it to support Telltale regardless.
You tell him!
I find that insulting.

I wouldn't hold your breath for PS3. This game (as well as Telltale's other games (and most adventure games in general)) are/is Point and Click.
what? if you don't have a PC how did you post that?
And the Wii, it has a web browser available for a good five bucks.
Strong Bad...
Wallace and Grommit...
Together we are....
MAX BAD AND GROM(m)IT!!!
What about CSI and Bone?
Max Bad and Gromit and the Case of the Great Cow Race Murder?
"The Holy jumping mother o' God in a side-car with chocolate jimmies, a lobster bib, and CRAP! Crossover and the Smashing Blackjack Murder Race in Boneville, Grommit!"
That sounds like a god awful Crossover Fan Fic.
they're not episodic
