Telltale Batman Shadows Edition: Behind The Scenes XBOX Blog Post

” Shadows Edition isn’t the work of a quickly applied desaturation post process. A small group of old and new Telltale artists took to task the treating of thousands of texture, lights, and vfx elements to craft a new way of experiencing Telltale’s take on the Batman story. This allowed us to carefully select what elements of the game would be in color to emphasize the story and themes.”

” Joker’s evolution is one of the grander moments where color is allowed to tell a tale of a man’s descent into madness. Early on, before Joker even graces the scene you see Arkham, slight purple and greens hinting that something sinister awaits inside. Joker’s full evolution takes place over the course of both seasons. When you first meet him, only his eyes and hair are in color. However, as you progress and as he careens towards madness little bits of color are added to various versions. By the end, the clown prince of crime is nearly in full color, his madness having infected himself and the universe around him.”

  • Cool! Will probably get it.

  • I find it funny how there's still this weird disconnect in what/when Telltale as a company represents on belahf of LCG or when LCG represents the Telltale brand.

    The article about the interview is from Matt Saia, VP of Creative Development, LCG Entertainment, Inc.

    Anyway, about the article, there's this cool stuff too.

    The goal was to create a stylized interpretation of Batman: The Telltale Series that still respected the creative work of the original developers but also took their vision into a new territory that fits the tone and world of Batman. Of course, the option is up to the players as they will always have the choice to experience Bruce Wayne’s tumultuous city of Gotham in “black and white” or in its original colorful state.

    Nice pictures included too.
