I'm absolutely hooked on the scoring system!

I'm currently obsessed with the scoring system used in SGCG4AP. I won't rest until I've achieved maximum awesome in every episode.

My question: Will this be implemented in future Telltale Games? (Wallace and Gromit/Sam & Max) and (Dare I dream) is there any chance it could be retroactively added to existing games?

    Well, I started playing Sam & Max after already playing the first couple episodes of SBCG4AP, and they really seemed unbelievably short without it or any sort of post-ending bonus stuff, so I do hope it's implemented in other telltale games, but I doubt that they'll start implementing it in any preexisting series.

    I'm not really that bothered about it to be honest, and it wouldn't matter to me if it wasn't used again. I think it's something that suits the Strong Bad series, and I'm not sure how well it'd stand up for Sam & Max or Wallace & Gromit.

    We try to do things that we think are a good fit for the game at hand. While I don't know if we'll be doing something with the exact features, or the same scope, as SBCG4AP, we like that sort of thing in general (see the season-wide DeSoto upgrades in Sam & Max Season Two, for instance). It really depends on the game! With Strong Bad, that universe is so filled with meta-references and video game stuff, it seemed appropriate to go for a crazy thing that sort of poked a bit of fun at modern "completionist" culture in games while also of course letting people go and find all of that hidden stuff. With Sam & Max they have that slightly hot-rodded up DeSoto, so it seemed like it would be cool to effectively let Sam & Max go and ruin it by covering it with ridiculous flames and hula girls and hood intakes, etc. I don't think Wallace & Gromit will be super heavy on that stuff, as that game is focusing more on the storytelling and cinematic experience than meta mini-game craziness, but most all of our games have some amount of content on the meta layer. It just depends on the game!
