/ttgg/ - TellTale Games

>>28332

>Maybe lewd stuff

Can't wait to see what you come up with. Especially with the Rhysha stuff.

>>28365

I booted up SFM the other day but couldn't find the right set. I'd like to find something a bit Pandora or Hyperion-like. Could make something myself if I need to.

>>28364

Oh boy, I'm sure the people here are gonna have fun with this.

>>28368

Kek.

>>28369

Hmm, I wonder why. He'll probably reactivate it when season 3 comes out, assuming of course that telltale won't Omid Kenny from season 3.

>>28371

>>28372

>Hmm, I wonder why

Maybe he wasn't getting questions anymore. Or conversely he was getting a bunch of weird ones. Either way it sucks not being able to sort through his answers anymore, especially the ones related to his work for Telltale.

>He'll probably reactivate it when season 3 comes out, assuming of course that telltale won't Omid Kenny from season 3.

I seriously doubt Kenny will show up in S3 but it's possible Gavin could turn up in another role.

>>28381

>StraightOuttaTalent

Joke aside I'm becoming increasingly of the opinion it's the producers and executives that are mainly to blame for decline in quality of Telltale's products, not the writers.

>Are they archived anywhere, maybe?

I'm not sure. I don't know where to look tbh.

Does Fear the Walking Dead air this weekend?

>>28383

Yeah on Sunday.

>>28384

Expect a stream half hour after, then. Amost forgot.

Am I the only one disappointed with how TftB has been going so far? I don't think it's bad certainly not S2 bad, but it feels like it's continually fumbled with the potential the first episode promised. The plot seems to constantly veer off-course, the pacing gets worse with each episode, and significant characters are continually misused or neglected for no discernible reason. I feel like this series could be so much better than it's been turning out.

>>28386

No, I've had a pretty good time with it. I don't doubt there have been plenty of on the flu changes (Telltale seem to have been doing this regularly post TWD S1, and even probably a bit during).

>>28382

>I'm becoming increasingly of the opinion it's the producers and executives that are mainly to blame for decline in quality of Telltale's products

I was actually thinking of posting asking if you guys if it's the executives that are actually to blame for telltale's decline in quality. I wouldn't take the blame off of the writers entirely, but that would explain things like why they always appeal to the majority when it comes to choices, why episode 5 of TWDS2 was so bad in general, and why the season 2 DLC is about Michonne.

>>28383

I'm still wondering why they skipped last week. Probably to build up hype for people who actually enjoyed it.

>>28386

I'm not disappointed with it. I do think there are missed opportunities such as your choices not mattering when it comes to character interactions, but it's still a fun and enjoyable experience so the game's shortcomings are forgivable for me. Also, considering how Game of Thrones is turning out, and how TWD season 2 turned out, I'm willing to take anything from telltale that's "good enough".

In ten days it'll be our one year anniversary. Let's celebrate by having an OC contest. It's doesn't have to be anything fancy like a SFM/GMod pic or fanart. Just make something /ttgg/ related and post it on September 21st which is when we'll be one year old. Even something as simple as a greentext story will be appreciated.

>>28388

>Telltale seem to have been doing this regularly post TWD S1, and even probably a bit during

There were changes in S1 during it's development but not as drastic as what Telltale does now. It was typically smaller, nuanced changes designed to make more players feel a certain way after making a decision, like regret for killing a character they didn't like.

>>28389

>I was actually thinking of posting asking if you guys if it's the executives that are actually to blame for telltale's decline in quality.

I remember reading in an article (I wish I could remember which) where Kevin Bruner (Telltale CEO, former CTO) said all the final scripts go to him so he can make sure they're up to Telltale's quality standards or something along those lines. Obviously executives and producers have a say in the creative process but certain decisions that made major overhauls to S2's and TWAU's original scripts feel like they were suggested by Telltale management.

>"good enough"

That's why it bothers me so much though. Every episode after the first has been relatively mediocre and that first one is one of the most fantastic episodes Telltale has produced. If the TftB team was able to keep up that general degree of quality throughout the whole season this game would easily compete or even surpass TWDG as Telltale's best game.

>missed opportunities

Case in point there are storylines, characters arcs, relationships established in the first episode that show great potential but at some point are all dropped or replaced with weaker ones for what seems like extraneous reasons. Again I don't think the game's terrible (so far) but I'm frustrated with how many times the developers have dropped the ball, especially after they've shown what they're capable of.

>>28391

>I remember reading in an article where Kevin Bruner said all the final scripts go to him so he can make sure they're up to Telltale's quality standards

If that's true then it's his fault for thinking that TWDS2 was actually passable.

>>28392

To be fair to Bruner it was Dan Connors who was CEO during S2's and TWAU's development and release cycles. Connors was replaced by Bruner in January this year and was made "executive adviser" whatever that means. I wonder what that's about and if has anything to do with Telltale's sudden new ambitions.

>>28386

I'm not disappointed with it because that would imply I have high expectations of it. But I do recognize the possibility for improvement.

>significant characters are continually misused or neglected

That's probably the point I agree with you on the most.

>>28390

Sounds fun.

As an added motivation, I'm willing to gift a TT game to whoever's OC I like the most, if they so choose.

I wish Poker Night had multiplayer, it would be pretty fun to play poker against you all.

>>28391

>there are storylines, characters arcs, relationships established in the first episode that show great potential

Can you think of a few examples, and maybe what you might have wanted to be done with them?

>>28393

>executive adviser

Sounds like the guy that actually gets everything done.

>>28383

Speaking of FTWD, the (stated) reason the show exists is to show what the beginning of a ZA looks like right? So what is the second season going to about if it gets the greenlight? Or the third? Just a bunch of survivors walking around the wilderness like the original show but in California instead of Georgia?

>>28395

>show goes on for 5+ seasons

>5+ different character stories of the ZA outbreak starting with each new season

But seriously

>Just a bunch of survivors walking around the wilderness like the original show but in California

Why mess with (financial) success?

>>28390

I'll try to submit a greentext story. Not sure what it'll be about but I have a few vague ideas.

>>28396

>5+ different character stories of the ZA outbreak starting with each new season

I know it'll never happen but this actually sounds like a neat idea assuming they didn't just copy-paste the first season's script for each one. A new setting each time would also be cool.

What's the general opinion of Tales from the Borderlands outside of /ttgg/? I know it's generally liked but it's fanbase doesn't seem as dedicated or active as others I've been a part of.

>>28398

General consensus outside of /ttgg/ from what I've seen is more or less the same here, except you have faggots who automatically dismiss it because it's a Borderlands game, and people who complain about SJW pandering. I don't know what people on TTGF think of it though.

>>28394

>I wish Poker Night had multiplayer

Same. If they ever make a Poker Night 3, which I doubt, I hope multiplayer is included. Speaking of Poker Night, I actually downloaded it again to see if I could use models from it in other games. Sadly, I can't, as TWDS2 crashes upon loading the modded files, and the model is invisible in season 1. I can't use models from other games in Poker Night either.

>>28395

I fully expect FTWD to get multiple seasons. The audience for this shit loves it no matter what, and it won't even matter if the show does nothing new with the formula. I'm sure there could be three or five different TWD shows running at the same time, and it wouldn't matter if they're all the same thing.

>>28399

>I don't know what people on TTGF think of it though.

They mostly just care about shipping.

>>28394

>Can you think of a few examples, and maybe what you might have wanted to be done with them?

I've mentioned a couple of these before but I would have preferred:

That Vasquez remained as Rhys's antagonist because he's perfectly characterized for that role and it would have been so damn satisfying to dethrone him ourselves. Instead he's pointlessly killed and replaced by a far less interesting villain with no connection to any of the main characters.

That Vaughn's jealousy of Rhys and frustration with being his sidekick actually played out in an interesting way and we got to see their friendship actually tested. Instead his "betrayal" is handwaved and his character is pushed into the background so Rhys's relationship with Jack could be focused on.

That Sasha's relationship with Rhys was explored and used to complicate Rhys's goal of crawling back into Hyperion's good graces by showing what effect they've had on Pandorans like her. Instead their relationship amounts to pure, meaningless fanservice and she's relegated to just being his love interest. I'm a filthy Rhysha shipper but the way their relationship played out just doesn't sit well with me.

>Sounds like the guy that actually gets everything done.

I wonder if it's one of those fake, dead-end position higher-ups are exiled to when the company doesn't explicitly want to fire them. Looking back development and release in 2014 was a clusterfuck for Telltale judging by how drastic TWAU and S2 were changed.

>>28400

Has there ever been a Poker Night with TWDG or other "modern" Telltale characters?

>>28401

>They mostly just care about shipping.

Was Rhysha a big thing there before episode 3? Because that would explain the direction that relationship took.

>>28404

>Has there ever been a Poker Night with TWDG or other "modern" Telltale characters?

First game was made before their new approach, second one was only a year after TWD season 1. Despite this, Doug and a Savelots bandit appear in the second game's intro. That's about it. I mentioned this before, but Larry was originally supposed to be in the game, but he was cut for some reason.

>>28404

>Was Rhysha a big thing there before episode 3? Because that would explain the direction that relationship took.

Rhysha was popular after the very first episode,but episode 2 saw an explosion of Rhiona shipping, and that thread quickly became one of the biggest if not the biggest on the site. Suffice to say they are rather…discontented with the way the series has turned out.
