anyone else think that when season 3 comes out it should be the only game telltale is working on
i honestly think making 2 games at the same time hurt TWD season 2 and same thing for the wolf amoung us, i really think that when telltale starts working the episodes for season 3,it should be the only game they're working on,

yeah maybe .. but still i think they did a great job with The Wolf Among Us and Season 2 of Walking Dead isnt that bad has people paint it.. the problem is that they compare it too much with season 1
It'd be nice but think of it in TellTales's perspective: "Why only make one game when you can make two and make DUOBLE the money?"
Sure. But I only say that because I don't really care about their other games. If they never made another game besides the walking dead it wouldn't bother me. Most people don't agree, though.

It's not gonna happen. Telltale will get so much more money working on 3 projects all at the same time but overall quality will go down. All about that $$$
good luck bankrolling your company off of 1 product. you should go into marketing with that attitude xD
It would be nice considering its what made them famous in the first place if they placed more focus on TWD then other games, however it would not be financially sound to do so.
Nah, I like Telltale for all their games, not just the Walking Dead. I will be equally as interested in any of their other games they plan on launching alongside with Walking Dead s3.
I like having multiple projects on going at once, not to mention Telltale has pretty much always worked on multiple projects at the same time, just never released alongside, I'm pretty sure they were working on Wolf when TWD S1 was being released and look how it came out.
Yes. YES! yes!
I never said it was a good choice for telltale.
I feel like TWAU didnt suffer because it was being made during TWD, TT had the story ready but the comic's writer didnt like the story/didnt fit well with canon so they abandoned it and had to write it over again.
TWD suffered from letting too many new unexperienced writers work on the story at once.
I think they should work on them at once, it keeps us occupied.
As much as I enjoyed The Wolf Among Us... Yes, I'd honestly prefer it if Telltale invested all their resources into purely The Walking Dead.
Was that ever confirmed? I thought that was just some rumor...
Not sure if it's confirmed, but it's highly likely. Bill Willingham wouldn't be okay with Fabletown exposed, especially in a game that's supposed to be a prequel to the comics.
Yes. Were I in charge of Telltale I would shift resources to the Walking Dead, give it a longer production period and scrap Tales from the Borderlands.
I honestly don´t mind.
Yeah it would go wayyyyyyy against canon. Unfortunately, thats what made them get rid of the serial killer plot and put the CM plot in. Not complaining though, still loved the final product.
Yeah im pretty sure since it didnt fit in with the E1 ending death and the original fabletown discovered/serial kill plot since fabletown wasnt canonly discovered in hundreds of years.
I want to play other games, not just this one.
I agree. The wait times for The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead Season Two were unbearable. I just hope Telltale has their shit together now. Maybe have different teams working on different games? Basically, I just hope Game of Thrones and Tales From The Borderlands don't delay each other's release dates.
What about TFTBL fans?
By the point S3 comes out, you should be worried about GoT.
Im sorry but I couldn't agree more. Never been interested in any other game of telltale's except twd.
They did have different teams for TWD and TWAU.
GoT has a huge fanbase and TTG could make a really good game out of it, expanding into such a well established franchise is a good business decision. Conversely, I don't see as much people care about TFTBL, and I don't believe it will take off. The fact that you pretty much have to be a fan of Borderlands in order to enjoy the game limits its audience quite a bit.
I wouldn't necessarily say that is true. Telltale typically does a great job at taking a complicated lore from a series and simplifying it for players new for the source material. Most of the time, a Telltale series will act as my introduction to the source material the game is based off of, and I still manage to follow the story. For example, look at how complicated the back-story and lore are in Fables, and then look at how Telltale pulled off Wolf Among Us.
Sure, the Borderlands series has a specific niche and premise, but I don't think that will act to the detriment of the game or its story.
I think word of mouth will push that game series. If the fans like it, other people will try it out. Im eager to try it myself.
I had checked out Borderlands 2 specifically because of Poker Night 2 and Tales from the Borderlands. For long time fans of Telltale like myself, just an announcement that Telltale is making a game off of a franchise usually gets me to at least check out the source material every now and again.
Even prior to when they became popular from Walking Dead, Telltale has frequently chosen interesting material to make games from for the most part.
"Or we can make FOUR at the same time! That'll give us, like, quadruple money!"
o_o
Nice name.
I wouldn't call Borderlands' lore to be complicated, but I know what you mean.
I personally don't think the Borderlands universe is strong enough to pique the interest of many people. Telltale could create a good story, but the story's limitations are due to the universe in which it exists.
In terms of source material, TWD and GoT are based off comics and books with a interesting and deep universe. Borderlands on the other hand, has 2 video games, with a rather stock universe in comparison.
The people who bought and enjoyed TWD did so because of its complex and emotional narrative. Given what Borderlands is, I don't think Telltale can produce a game of the same calibre. If the game stays true to the Borderlands persona it will likely be a humorous and goofy game, not exactly what players of Telltale games might be accustomed to. In the end, the story of the game may fall short, and unfortunately Telltale games are all about the narrative.
Whether or not Borderlands' niche adversely impacts the narrative, I have no doubt that it will impact the sales. I just don't see people buying this game; not as much as a game with excellent established foundations (TWD, GoT).
I don't see why it cant build an audience. I haven't played many of the other series, but aren't a lot of them humourous and goofy? If people are expecting another walking dead with "feels" they might not be interested, but I'm sure there are more audiences than that.
I've gotta disagree. I think Walking Dead Season 1, Season 2, and Wolf Among Us are on the same level. All are great, though Season 1 probably gets more recognition due to Amazing episodes like Long Road Ahead and No Time Left. I don't think working on two games at once really effects the writing.
Well I guess it depends if they get enough people to work on each project
Different teams of developers worked on the games sepratley. So the process of one game shouldn't affect the other. They just didn't put as much effort into them as they did in their previous titles.
now i would love that just focus on WD, but i cant ask for TT to do that they deserve to make more games that potentially have big fanbases and bring them good money.
Yep I was way to more interested in the walking dead than I did for the wolf among us. I still think they did a great job with season 2 anyway !!!
I'm double-minded about this. Of course, I'd like TellTale to roll out episodes more quickly. But, I don't want them increasing their risk. If they work on only The Walking Dead, they could fold when the series stops being profitable. On the other hand, if they hire more people to do several series in parallel, they wouldn't be able to divert people to other projects when one becomes unprofitable.
Borderlands actually has some very deep lore which isn't always shown in the games. This is a great game for TT to tackle, deep lore not yet correctly shown, a goofy narrative, and another well known title to bring fans.
I feel like youre a major fan of both TWD and GoT, which isn't bad. I have never seen or read GoT yet because I know TT can make anything amazing ill get it. I have done some stuff with Borderlands and I know TT can definitely make a great game out of its rich universe. So right now I am more hyped for TFTBL than I am for GoT.
I'm more hyped for GOT, but I did enjoy the few hours I played of Borderlands and I'm interested to see what they do. I definitely do not want them to focus on The Walking Dead only.
I remember back in the old days a lot of people(I was one of them) used to say that Telltale was working on too many projects at once and it was hurting both franchises formerly being made. But now it's almost the total opposite now. Man, this is funny.
