I was under the impression that at least a couple of the telltale guys are goons anyway. I expect that this will get cleared up quickly now that it's publicized.

Dumbest thread I've seen in a long while. People complaining about low res shots, first post wondering why on earth anyone would take pictures of something like this before lending, and posters claiming conspiracy. Yep, definitely has it all.
Feel bad for the guy cause he tried to do a good thing. Surely he can take them to court though (not familiar with US law)? Lotta respect lost for TellTale here though.

It shouldn't, but all it really means is that whoever the vehicle owner was talking to at telltale wasn't doing their job right. If we don't hear about sincere apologies by wednesday or so, then something has gone sideways.Dance In My Blood said:
The question is: Did they do more damage to the jeep or the JP franchise with this game...Then again, the sequels did a good job at doing that too. 
The game looks pretty dull and the characters are lifeless so I was skipping out on this game to begin with even as a JP fan.
And that is why everything has to be documented before and after a deal because you can no longer trust people to just do the right thing.

Hi, I'm from Telltale. To compensate for the damages to your vehicle, you'll find sixty copies of Jurassic Park on your Steam account.
Thanks, Telltale.
Thanks, Telltale.

You do realize why Telltale's had trouble with the 360, right? Telltale's business model revolves around releasing monthly episodes; apparently, with the Wallace and Gromit series, they ran into problems where the second episode was delayed six months and the remaining episodes were dumped all at once. Not something Telltale wanted to do, but with the way XBLA worked, they didn't have much of a choice.

I clicked on this just because I couldn't parse the title thread. Too many nouns used as names (and he capitalizes "damages" which isn't being used as a proper pronoun)
Thankfully, the pictures helped make sense of it.
But as someone who owns an old Mustang convertible, this is why you never loan your car when people want to borrow it. "We've having a parade, we're having a photoshoot, I want to run over my neighbor, etc, etc, etc"

That doesn't change the fact they've stopped supporting the platform with their bread-and-butter titles. Sure, MS's certification process may prevent Telltale from adhering to their typical release schedule, but there's no tangible reason why they couldn't release an omnibus once all of the episodes have been completed, if they so desired.

You know, those things only had 130 horsepower engines. Good luck actually getting one up to 88 mph.
That also had Craig radios in them.
(For some reason, there were three of them on my Aunt's block. They look neat, but basically they an earlier version of the Fiero - otherwise pretty much junk)

I've always supported TellTale because they've helped keep adventure games going, even if they are somewhat dumbed down. But because of this I think I'm no longer going to continue doing that. If they actually help the guy out then I'll jump back onboard.

The damage estimate is $2000? Even a rinky-dink little operation like Telltale should be able to pry that out of the couch cushions.

This case sounds like it needs to be settled in the court of Quake 3.

what a dick move telltale. you really should work this out immediately
enclosed, insured shipping both ways, airfare, badges for the con, hotel, and per diem
^^^^ This should all have been in writing, and something makes me doubt it was since the only thing he got as stated was airfare and a hotel. They neglected to give him the per diem (modest living expenses/food money), additional badges, or enclosed shipping. Really scummy and reeks of purposeful cheapness/greed by telltale, which is really disappointing since I love the company for making SBCG4AP.
Make this right, telltale. You fucked up. MINIMALLY you should get this guy a couple PAX padges for next year, pay for his car, and take him out to a fancy fucking dinner to apologize.
Not IMMEDIATELY making this right after the con with a massive apology and full payment for the car (and at the very least a fruit basket to apologize for their complete incompetence in choosing a transport company) shows a severe lack of class.

Yeah, go watch some videos before you defend Telltale on this one. JP looks like ass, and I say this as someone who enjoyed all their Sam & Max offerings, Tales of Monkey Island and Back To The Future (sort of).Xanathus said:
As for the Jeep, major dick move TT. I like to support these guys since I've enjoyed most of their games, but I'll think twice after this.

I doubt Telltale as a whole are dicks. Probably who ever was handling the promotion of this game needs to get his ass chewed out or even fired. Then Telltale should make good right away with the Jeep owner. I hope this will happen.
As for the game. It looks ok. After Back to the Future I am worried.
