Episode names revealed!
Gamespot put a preview of the first episode online (read it, it's good!), and they mention all the episode names. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere on this forum, so here you go:
- Fright of the Bumblebees
- The Last Resort
- Muzzled
- Boogeyman
They even say the game is ready already, so I guess we won't have to wait long to start our adventures. I can taste the honey already!

Yeah, I found this while I was searching for some impressions of the demo Telltale is showing at Wondercon. I haven't really found anything yet, except for this weird thingy, which probably is a bit useless:
"All that said, the Best of Schwag goes to Telltale Games at Booth 644 for its giveaway of a Strong Bad game to every email provided, as well as a promise for a sneak peek at Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures week after next. Tomorrow, Steve Purcell of Sam & Max fame will be at the Telltale booth live and will draw from the fishbowl of emails one lucky winner for the giant autographed sculpture of Sam & Max."
Do they mean to say the episode is going to be released the week after next week? The episode seems to be finished, so it could be possible, although I don't know how trustworthy this post is. Found it here: http://contentnow.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/wonderconbest-of-schwag-steve-purcell/
So, there's probably some bug/playtesting to go through before it's actually released.
Well, I guess everyone is pumped up about Telltale going to Xbox so they release more information about that one, because everyone has heard of PC before, but I still think PC is a better version. Plot also, well like every Episode, they are released when it's time for the next Episode.
Telltale's twitter says the following about this picture:
"Emily and alex doing the noon demo"
Is this part of the Wallace & Gromit-demo? It's on Telltale's stand, and Emily is holding the 360-controller, and you can sort of make out Gromit, if you half-close your eyes and really want to...
Ah, excellent. Can you give us a little more information? Anything that was especially cool, or what you thought of Wallace's voice?
Fright of the Bumblebees
The Last Resort
Muzzled!
The Bogey Man
-Episode 1, as we know, is about Wallace and Gromit on a wild and probably stupidly complex new occupation regarding bee honey.
-Episode 2 is likely about a resort of the vacation variety.
-Muzzled! obviously has something to do with Gromit. Not much to guess from there. He was muzzled during A Matter of Loaf and Death, and that somewhat limited him. Are we going to have a limitation in a usual gameplay mechanic that we usually have with a not-trapped Gromit mouth?
-And as littlequietguy whispered, Bogey Man is about golf.
When have you actually seen Gromit's mouth?
Seriously, i find 5 episodes to be fair for a serie of games of this nature. 6 was too much.
the episodes are much more substantial though, we are led to believe
Well there was a split second in the Wrong Trousers, he's eating cereal, I always seem to be doing something, or my pause button stops working when he's about to put the spoon in "said mouth". Fluffles has a mouth (Matter of Load and Death),
Why does the game run in a window, on a PC? I thought you only showed the 360-version?
And where are the icons of Texas Hold Em and CSI? Don't turn into Lucasarts, be proud of your history;)
dev kit probably
Sorry to be a loser, but nice choice on the font for subtitles.
it really is, it's going to look great all round i believe
It's true, the way it looks, says to people, that's Wallace & Gromit fonts, cause it looks like it.
From Font Diner, one of my favorite type foundries! Seemed to evoke the spirit of the W&G logo, while being a bit blocker and easier to read at small sizes.
ONLY 4?!?!? Each season keeps getting shorter, I mean I can handle 1 less episode, but if Sam and Max 3 is 4 episodes, well Im not happy abour that
Longer Episodes! Wallace & Gromit will be longer and more fun, but I will be disappointed if they limit it down to 3 or less Episodes.
I guess they are perhaps drifting away from the episodic concept.
Still, i'm sure it will be awesome!
Can't wait for more info.
With each series, we try to make decisions about the structure based on what's best for the stories we're trying to tell. The fact that we're doing four episodes with Wallace & Gromit doesn't mean that's now the new standard for all of our series, but it's the structure that felt right for this franchise.
Keep in mind, these games will essentially be Wallace & Gromit films that you can play. In the 20 years that Wallace & Gromit have been kicking around, Aardman has done four short W&G films and one feature length film. And now we're coming out with four interactive films in the span of a few months! It really is a lot of Wallace & Gromit content, and we think fans of the franchise will be happy with our approach.
Hey Hi Emily. I'm glad to know i was wrong.
Given this piece of info i am understanding of the 4 episodes decision.
That said, i am not a fan of the Wallace and Gromit franchise, but only because i really know nothing about it. That's part of what i like about TellTale. I came here for Sam and Max, but i learned of Strong bad, and now this. It's awesome. I hope you guys come up with information soon and also maybe release one episode. You are the only adventure game company i trust. Can't wait.
Oh and, what ever happened to the Bone games? I see there are only two of those. Was that always meant to be this way? Just curious, these are your only games i don't own yet.
Its the new business is why!
I do declare.
So these games are like the WnG shorts, as opposed to how SnM is like an interactive sitcom...
neat!
If only more entertainment companies did this.
Emily gives quite a lot of details, including a lot of scenes from the first episode (and even a little information about later ones, episode 2 will have Wallace & Gromit opening a beach resort in their basement, episode 3 will revolve around a theme park, and as speculated, episode 4 will revolve around some sort of golf course.
A few interesting facts (listen for yourself, it's worth it): when the first episode will be released will depend on Microsoft's schedule. Within the next 2, 3 months. After that episodes will be 4 - 6 weeks apart.
Another point of interest is the fact that there will be no dialogue-trees in the game. You can talk to people (as Wallace), but you can't choose what to say. All the previous titles in the Telltale-catalog have been rather conversation-heavy, so I curious to see this approach. I guess it's appriopiate, seeing as how the movies always had more of a 'slapstick' kind of humor (compared to something like Sam & Max, where the dialogue is 66% of the fun).
The part about Gromit giving you his famous looks when you try something stupid sounds great.:)
