In the grand scheme of everything going on in the world right now, if you truly care about this, you're not paying attention. These are GAMES! They are not important.
@uptownsoul But that's not true, because they aren't trying to cast a wide net at the point of RELEASING the game, but years after. That won't affect the games at all. At worst, it'll stop them appearing on certain low-powered consoles like the Switch.
@Alexface Exactly. At times, you had 2-3 Telltale games on the go at once and were desperately trying to finish one before the next one came out. It created fatigue in the genre and by the time I was trying to finish TWD Final Season, I was totally out of gas for these games.
Less-- with more investment in real decisions, story and engine technology would go much further.
I loved Telltale games but this article is right, they released so many, so quickly that even I got bored of them. A couple of games a year MAX with higher quality animations and engine, which run for maybe 6 episodes minimum per "game" would be good. Having each episode run a bit longer too would also help. 4-5 hours I'd say is a sweet spot. Also, finish one before starting the next or have minimal overlap. Don't work the new employees into the ground. No-one deserves that stress and imagination and creativity wont thrive in that environment either.
Also--- forget Batman. I'm not entirely convinced anyone really cared for it. TWAU was much more unique. Batman's been done to death.

Re: Hands On: Crisis Core Is a Welcome Reunion with Final Fantasy VII
Can't wait for this to come out at $89.99 because Square are completely detached from current world realities.

Re: Reaction: WTF Is Going on with The Last of Us PS5?
Just a game. Wouldn't worry about it.

@MFTWrecks Money happened.

Re: First Impressions: Trails from Zero Is Going to Be a Must-Play for JRPG Fans
Maybe I'll get it one day when it's on sale for under £100...
Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Patch Restores Servers After 24 Hours, Polyphony Digital Comments on Microtransactions
You wait an entire console generation for a new GT game and Sony still manage to find a way to ruin the experience. Bravo Sony.
Re: Elden Ring Patch 1.03 Out Now, Get All the Patch Notes Here
@LN78 I could answer your question, but it'd likely cause offense!
Re: The Wolf Among Us 2 Shows Its Fangs on PS5, PS4 in 2023
It was always "The Walking Dead Season 1" first and then "The Wolf Among Us" a close second. It absolutely needed a 2nd season.
Re: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Is So PS2 It Hurts
Although I do think this will suck, hasn't Dark Souls proven that graphics are second to gameplay?
Re: GTA Trilogy Could Be Pretty Pricey on PS5, PS4
All you people feigning outrage at the possible price and saying you won't buy it... you will.
It's the same every time and it's exactly why it'll be this price, because you all have no self-control or ability to stand your ground.
Same with microtransactions.
Don't buy games at full price, games come down in price. Simple maths.
Re: Monkey King: Hero Is Back - Simplistic Brawling Fun That's a Bit Too Short
I think you may be forgetting how PS3 games really looked...

Quality over quantity.
Re: Telltale Games Is Coming Back Under New Management
@Fight_Sora_Fight If it happened, I'm sure it'd be totally new characters seeing as BL3 is moving the Rhys character forward on it's own.
