I’ve played the Puss in Boots one before and it was fun, especially if you followed the show since there were lots of in-jokes, if a bit limited in terms of outcomes (there’s a amusing ‘bad’ ending and the canon ending). Curious having played the game to see how the adaptation of Minecraft S1 will be. I assume it’ll just be the Wither Storm arc rather than the Gateway arc as well...
I got into Telltale late 2014. I think that's when they ran with Wolf Among Us and Walking Dead S2. Then followed that in 2015 with Tales and GOT. Aside from GOT, I think this was probably peak Telltale, and that comes from someone who still enjoys every single game to some extent that came after. I agree, two games a year feels right.
Hoping they keep this two games a year schedule going. Batman and The Walking Dead this year, Wolf Among Us and Stranger Things next year, h… moreopefully Batman S3 and Tales S2 after that. I don't know how financially stable that is, but two games a year just feels like a good pace.
We had four freaking Telltale games in 2017...FOUR! That's just too much to remain interested and keep track of them all
We knew some of the details about how it was supposed to work (choices made in the game would somehow affect the television show) but not what it was about or anything else since the announcement.
As a big fan of Stranger Things, I'm super duper excited. I feel like this show works really well for Telltale format. I think they'll just use the setting for completely different characters and plot - as someone mentioned before, we could find out about other gifted children or maybe the history of Upside Down. I know that there's a book based on Stranger Things coming out soon and it tells about Terry's past - so what's the problem with the game? i'm sure Telltale will come up with something original and intriguing. They're capable of that.
Don't get me wrong, sequels are great, but the latest IPs were mediocre so Telltale needs come creative boost, especially considering that TWD is basically done. Count me in. I'm jumping on the hype train!
I could see some potential with this, Stranger Things is certainly a property that totally works with Telltale’s format. Lots of character dynamics, over arching plot that spans a whole season, and lots of twists as well as cliffhangers. I very much hope TT go with an original story with new characters and a relatively new threat from the Upside Down to differentiate themselves from the show. It would be fine if they included a few TV cameos like Telltale’s GoT and maybe a couple of callbacks. I do hope they have the Duffer Bros. and Shawn Levy as story consultants.
It’s still disappointing and still rather strange that the Telltale “original IP” doesn’t appear to be on the horizon and I think that project might be more interesting compared to Stranger Things.

So wait this Netflix deal...it is like Supershow's ghost . I am hyped for a good journey in the Upside Down...

that actually sounds interesting and innovative. too bad.

Call me when they finally make Thrones 2 like they promised two and a half damn years ago.
