this is telltales biggest opportunity, yet. This is their First Game in years, were Telltale has nearly Complete Freedom of Creativity, because Minecraft had no Story. Telltale can Do what they Want and they're Doping it! I mean they're putting the Far Lands into the game! The Farlands Are totally glitched and Broken but they did something with it.
i think telltale would be shooting themselves in the foot if the game is inappropriate for children, minecraft didn't start out as a child's game (and it still isn't only for children) but now the biggest fan base for the game (and where they make all their money from) is children, i hope it is more of a family friendly game than a child's game (more lego movie and less dora the explorer), but it would really be a bad business decision for telltale to make the game a 15+ age rating when most of the interest would be from people below 15.
if you have seen any of stampy's videos (the most popular minecraft let's player) you would see how it is aimed purely at children, but i hope the game has some interest for adults as well.
About children. Do you think Minecraft fans would enjoy story mode? It looks like Minecraft but gameplay will be something different. In my … moreopinion talking and making decisons is not what kids like. Besides, quote (trailer): "May contain content inappropriate for children."
Their is no guarantee they wouldnt spend their time and resources on another project that you feel would be worthless. Wishing for them to fail is not going to get us TWAU season 2.
Minecraft sucks.
I hope it is a commercial flop so that no development time or resources get spent on a worthless sequel. I'd much rather see another TWAU.
Lots of the current Telltale fanebase where introduced by The Walking Dead
That's what I've been telling people. I've been stating t… morehat Telltale became popular with Kids games such as "Sam & Max", and The Monkey island one, and I was calmly stating it, and that people should calm down.. Here are some of the comments I got. "Lol, This comment wreaks of autism." "This kid deserves to die." "This guy is probably 5." "You're a fucking idiot dude, Autism Autism Autism Autism Autism" "Lol, This is the Internet, No one gives a shit what you think." "This guy has so much autism it could kill him"
And I do have Autism by the way, But it certainly isn't because I'd defend a game people are working hard on. And It's funny that I have autism, Yet these guys who claim to be so mature are the ones acting like children. I wrote a calm comment, and They were like, "Mom!

Pretty much. It's cute though. They think they have you in the palm of their hands... They think you're cowering for your mother behind that screen, and your comments on how You don't care, they think it's denial... It's so cute how they think they're Giants, when they're really little ants.
The reason it says "May contain content inappropriate for children." is because the trailer and game haven't been official rated by ESRB yet as the guy talking says "product not yet rated" so that is the default rating.

I think some of the "autistic" insults towards minecraft have spawned from the 2013 Minecon video that cherry picks all the slightly awkward moments from hours of footage and compiling it into a 8 min video.
I agree that all of the "autism" insults are really annoying and even more cringworthy than the things they are insulting, i don't have autism but my cousin does so i have had some personal experience with it and having just come back from attending London Minecon i have to say the stereotype is nowhere near as bad as these "cringe" videos make out, there where 10,000 attendees there and i personally never saw anything "cringy" or "autistic" but what i did see was lots of people having fun and hopefully they will also have fun if they decide to play Telltale's game.

Companies need money to make other games and to make their current game as good as they do, even if Minecraft Story Mode is successful there is no grantee that they will make a sequel like the demands for The Wolf Among Us doesn't grantee a sequel for that.

i would prefer that telltale work on the TWAU TWDG TFBL or GOT that this minecraft game... being a company with limited people and using alot of them to do this is a waste of time to the ohers games.(MY OPNIAO) plz dont hate me. i would lov eto play that IP of telltale, but minecraft... blah and the trailer wasent even good. By the way i have played minecraft and i dident like it.
I saw you and I knew with was you. The way the comment section in your thread is pretty much how the comment section is going...Someone is against the game, supporters reply, supporters are attacked by non-supporters, the attackers are then attacked by supporters...Then it's just argument and baseless insults over and over again.
Not all games that Telltale makes will appeal to everyone. A lot of people weren't happy about Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, for many of the same reasons. A lot of people thought the graphics are too simple, and a lot of people passed on it because they believed the game was for kids. Plus, a lot of people who were already fans of Homestar Runner thought that they should make more levels of Stinkoman 20X6 as they didn't see the point in an adventure game starring Strong Bad.
That doesn't mean that it was a bad game, just that it didn't appeal to everyone. The same will obviously be the case here. The good news about both games is that their sales will help Telltale continue to grow so that they can continue to make the games that they do enjoy playing. Telltale has grown steadily every year since they were founded in 2004. Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People helped that growth, and Minecraft: Story Mode will help that growth too.
There are already games announced that will interest you, such as The Walking Dead: Michonne and The Walking Dead: Season Three. Minecraft's existence will help to make sure that the team has the money needed to have the resources to make those games. If they just stuck with the franchises they have already worked on without continuing to develop games for a diverse assortments of licenses, Telltale would just stay the same size as they are now, and wouldn't be able to continue the steady growth that they had always experienced. If that happened, either the development time would need to increase or the staff size would need to decrease, or both. That wouldn't be good news for anyone.

From what I saw, it was more people being unwilling to accept change than a hatred towards Minecraft.

Personally I'm all for the change of pace from the recent ventures, but I can agree that a story based Minecraft game is a strange concept, but I have faith in Telltale and will at least try the first episode.

It's Minecraft a.k.a Mindcrap .No one asked for that game. Did they just place a few ideas in a hat ?
Of course people are gonna hate it.… more Watching that "trailer " I felt like my face was gonna break in half ,I couldn't stop laughing.
There was even a petition out there . Pleading for Telltale to stop making this game.
I'm just worried about the Minecraft fanbase (mostly consisting of kids) flooding the forums after finding this game. I won't mind if they want to converse about it in the Minecraft section, but I'm just worried they'll bleed into the other parts of the forums like TWDG and GoT. Both mature games, highly recommended to shy away from children.
I'm not seeing much hate for it personally. Don't bother looking at youtube comments as they're always vile regardless of what the video is about. Someone eariler said it's because it's different, but I disagree. If the theme doesn't interest people, then it's simply that. I'm certain this will do well financially, but putting that aside, I'm not surprised that people aren't happy with this direction as there's literally thousands of IP's out there and they picked this.
Not necessarily. Plenty of game companies haven't put the money back in.
Also, although I'm sure it will be a success for TT financially due to the low quality graphics and animation etc being used (can't wait for the excuse why it's late for this series!), I'm not confident it'll hit the fans they think it will. It's usually little kids who play minecraft as it's easy to pick up and play. I can't see them buying this and being that happy with it.
Most game companies haven't had continuous growth since their foundation either. If Telltale stopped that growth suddenly, by just focusing on the licenses they already have, something would definitely have to give.
Telltale doesn't need a success on the level of The Walking Dead for this to help the company continue to grow. I'm sure they know that this is a risk, as it's something different both for the fans of Minecraft and the fans of Telltale. But, they've had plenty of risky projects in the past such as the Puzzle Agent and Poker Night games. Heck, even The Walking Dead was a huge risk, since it was vastly different than Telltale's previous successful games, and after the failure of Jurassic Park: The Game people weren't really open to another QTE style game by Telltale.
The risk might pay off like it did for The Walking Dead, or it might not, like it did for Jurassic Park. But, it likely won't stop Telltale's growth (Jurassic Park didn't cause the company to stop their growth in 2011). Plus, it's very likely Telltale will learn from Minecraft: Story Mode no matter the outcome. They certainly learned from Jurassic Park, as Telltale learned from their missteps and refined them. Without Jurassic Park: The Game, we wouldn't have The Walking Dead.

I don't know what you mean by that statement. A failure of a product can definitely stop the growth of a company. If the company simply maintained the size they already were, the growth of the company would stop.
Telltale has been steadily growing in size every year since their foundation in 2004, and they continued growing in 2011 despite Jurassic Park: The Game, which was Telltale's biggest and most visible failure. So, the company ceasing their growth definitely won't happen for Minecraft: Story Mode either, even if it's not a huge success. Plus, even if it fails, as I said, Telltale will learn from it as they learned from Jurassic Park, and it will lead to improvements in future games.

A petition, you say? Looks like it is in good … morecompany.
https://www.telltalegames.com/community/discussion/22918/a-petition-and-protest-against-this-game
Too bad Telltale didn't listen to that petition and we wound up with that lousy Walking Dead game, even after the fans begged and pleaded for them not to do it, right?
Honestly, when my friend first told me about a Telltale Minecraft game I laughed because I thought he was kidding. As time progressed, the concept grew and grew on me and the trailer itself sold me completely. I also find it irritating when there is so much groundless hate on the game, but it has happened for every game since the Walking Dead (can any old members confirm if it happened even before then too?). People are going to whine and complain until release, and then a lot of people will just accept the game, and it will be brushed under the rug that his ludicrous hate ever actually happened.
First off I'm not one of the people that insult others and spew their hate everywhere but instead keep that opinion to themselves unless someone asks for it.
My opinion on it is that I reaaalllyyy rather have them work on something else. I like Minecraft, it's pretty fun to build stuff and set your own goals or play with friends (wich I rarely do but yeh). Hell I have a minecraft tumblr ask blog, and the MC ask blog community is actually pretty cool (might also be because theyre artists Idk). I don't ever see much of these 11 year old boys everyones talking about, guess that might be more of a youtube problem? Either way. What I'm saying is I have fun with Minecraft, made my own fancharacters and headcanons and the whole shabang.
Now there's TTG wanting to make a story game based on it. My first thought was "Do we really need this?" and when I saw the trailer I thought it was really just not for my age. I like the nice mix of comedy and violence - Borderlands, TF2, Superjail, and all that stuff. Or serious dramatic stories with a light touch of fun here and there. If there's no real drama because it's for kids it gets kind of boring, you know? Besides, I hate the looks of the characters. It makes me take nothing about it seriously, and I wouldnt even take any drama as such if it was just square people getting hurt. Square heads is another story, but whole square bodies? It's absolutely not my thing, hence why I don't like it.

That's not always the case. The New Batman Adventures episode, Over the Edge, is rated TV-Y7 (meaning for children 7 and up), and it has plenty of drama and tons of excitement, along with plenty of dark moments, which are aimed at more of an adult audience. In fact, despite it's rating, it's the single darkest episode in the entire DC Animated Universe (not counting the film Return of the Joker).

Of course, not everyone is going to be swayed by every game that Telltale makes, but art style isn't everything. Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has really simple character designs too, and Telltale managed to make an enjoyable game in that universe.

I think it's better to use examples that aren't as old. Felidae was allowed on a kids channel many years ago despite the blood and murder going on in the movie |D In general, some kids movies and series were alot less "soft" as they are now. Watership Down for example.
I don't really like that one either, not my kind of humor from what I've seen. I think they could do better, style-wise. Maybe instead of using the regular model looks from MC animations they could make their own or something. I don't know, it just doesn't appeal to me.

because the trailer wasn't enough to win people over which is what a trailer should have done at this point, imo it was cringe worthy and just terrible and the fact that the only good thing i could point out in the trailer was dave fennoy then something is wrong this will probably be the first telltale game i will definitely skip it is still terrible imo

There's still examples of adult material that is allowed to be placed in programs that are rated for children. Take Before the Dawn, an episode of Young Justice that was aired in 2013. In the episode, Miss Martian believed someone to be a murderer and lobotomized him for it. Like Over the Edge, it was also rated TV-Y7 despite the adult content.
In general, it actually seems like adult content is rated lower when it's in a product with a cartoon aesthetic. So, just because Telltale is aiming for around an E rating for this game doesn't mean that it has to be devoid of adult situations.

You know what else is an opinion? That Minecraft is good.
First off I'm not one of the people that insult others and spew their hate everywhere but instead keep that opinion to themselves unless someone asks for it.
My opinion on it is that I reaaalllyyy rather have them work on something else. I like Minecraft, it's pretty fun to build stuff and set your own goals or play with friends (wich I rarely do but yeh). Hell I have a minecraft tumblr ask blog, and the MC ask blog community is actually pretty cool (might also be because theyre artists Idk). I don't ever see much of these 11 year old boys everyones talking about, guess that might be more of a youtube problem? Either way. What I'm saying is I have fun with Minecraft, made my own fancharacters and headcanons and the whole shabang.
Now there's TTG wanting to make a story game based on it. My first thought was "Do we really need this?" and when I saw the trailer I thought it was really just not for my age. I like the nice mix of comedy and violence - Borderlands, TF2, Superjail, and all that stuff. Or serious dramatic stories with a light touch of fun here and there. If there's no real drama because it's for kids it gets kind of boring, you know? Besides, I hate the looks of the characters. It makes me take nothing about it seriously, and I wouldnt even take any drama as such if it was just square people getting hurt. Square heads is another story, but whole square bodies? It's absolutely not my thing, hence why I don't like it.
That's not always the case. The New Batman Adventures episode, Over the Edge, is rated TV-Y7 (meaning for children 7 and up), and it has plenty of drama and tons of excitement, along with plenty of dark moments, which are aimed at more of an adult audience. In fact, despite it's rating, it's the single darkest episode in the entire DC Animated Universe (not counting the film Return of the Joker).
Of course, not everyone is going to be swayed by every game that Telltale makes, but art style isn't everything. Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has really simple character designs too, and Telltale managed to make an enjoyable game in that universe.
I think it's better to use examples that aren't as old. Felidae was allowed on a kids channel many years ago despite the blood and murder going on in the movie |D In general, some kids movies and series were alot less "soft" as they are now. Watership Down for example.
I don't really like that one either, not my kind of humor from what I've seen. I think they could do better, style-wise. Maybe instead of using the regular model looks from MC animations they could make their own or something. I don't know, it just doesn't appeal to me.
because the trailer wasn't enough to win people over which is what a trailer should have done at this point, imo it was cringe worthy and just terrible and the fact that the only good thing i could point out in the trailer was dave fennoy then something is wrong this will probably be the first telltale game i will definitely skip it is still terrible imo
Well lemme tell you. I want mindcrap, k? If you haven't play the game, don't judge it
There's still examples of adult material that is allowed to be placed in programs that are rated for children. Take Before the Dawn, an episode of Young Justice that was aired in 2013. In the episode, Miss Martian believed someone to be a murderer and lobotomized him for it. Like Over the Edge, it was also rated TV-Y7 despite the adult content.
In general, it actually seems like adult content is rated lower when it's in a product with a cartoon aesthetic. So, just because Telltale is aiming for around an E rating for this game doesn't mean that it has to be devoid of adult situations.
People said TFTB was a bad choice, along with TWD.
And look who was thoroughly proved wrong.
