I've started adding people to my ignore list when they blatantly show that they are incapable of coherent thought. If you had posted that you thought Walking Dead and Heavy Rain were bad, I wouldn't care, but when you ask ignorant questions like 'why did it sell?' when the majority of posters on Neogaf and gaming press adored the game....you're not going against opinion, you're just being willfully ignorant or trolling.

Holy Fuck that's pretty 
It also looks thematically extremely different from what they did before. I like it

With a Telltale game looking this good, it makes me wonder if anyone else is even trying anymore.
So wait, was this officially announced somewhere? I was really looking forward to seeing how they handled KQ.
Doing a Sam & Max at a post-WD Telltale would be super fun. I think the pacing and rapid change-up of context of the comics could be captured really well. We don't have any announced Sam & Max stuff, though, other than Sam in Poker Night 2.
Response to these Fables screens has me excited. The purple one of Bigby in the alley has been touched up to pump up the color design (as it's more of a poster shot/mood piece), but the other images were pulled from the game engine for GI by our art director.
For me, it doesn't work for a 'serious' atmosphere.

This would be sweet. Even seeing the semi-tonal shift of The Devil's Playhouse after Tales of Monkey Island was really great. I would definitely love to see where you guys would take the series with what you've learned through The Walking Dead.
Do iiiiit. TDP was already spectacular, and most of its low points revolved around puzzles that just didn't work out well. I've said it before, but the final scene came really close to capturing the mood of the comics, and I'd love to see you guys take another crack at that.
And +1 to all the compliments on the art here. Of all the games that've tried the graphic novel look, this is the first one where screenshots come close enough to hand-drawn stills to require a second look.

That is one damn good looking art style. Reminds me of theCalvin and Hobbes comics where Calvin is imagining himself as a noire detective.

Looks cool, but not sure about buying anything else from Telltale after the issues with TWD.

Damn, this one is the one that impresses me the most for some reason. Really looking forward to this game and seeing what the Telltale guys do with the characters.
Well, you guys don't have plans rn, but you're not thinking of retiring them either, right? D:
IM always shocked at how not amazing TT animation is....i figure those games should be brimming with beautiful animation because so many scenes are tightly controlled...but it hovers somewhere below average

Holy shit, I was ready to piss on another Telltale game as I'm not a fan.. but they nailed cel-shading. Let's hope it animates well, because real-time shadows in cel shaded games is hard to pull off.

I am in complete disbelief if those are real screenshots. Maybe I'm an idiot for even think they could be. At the most those can't possibly 3D models and textures (outside the characters, I guess). If they are though, I'll play this just for the art, even if I thought The Walking Dead and the rest of Telltate's stuff have been pretty much fancy trash.
EDIT: I really want some videogames to look like this.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Man, that game had no right being as great as it was for a mid-90s FMV fest.Werewolves you say?
As a side note I think FMV gets way too much scorn. There were some bad FMV games, but there are bad games of every type. It's just that FMV wasn't the revolution in interactivity people expected.
GK2 stands up quite well today. God that game was so fucking amazing. I wish I could experience it for the first time one more. Such a beautiful story.
And that segues back to A Wolf Among Us. Some people don't like the direction Telltale has taken in less interactivity and little to no puzzle solving. However, right now is easily the best time for adventure games, with so many different styles and degrees of gameplay and puzzle solving present in a wide variety of graphical forms.
Adventures were always about storytelling. Telltale isn't pretending that their games are hardcore traditional point and click games, so I have no problem with what they're doing.

I hope it isn't a new engine, they have already spent so much time ironing out the bugs of the old one ...

Looks really appealing artistically.
Hopefully the animation has been improved because I found that a bit lacking in Walking Dead. I'm not expecting Euphoria/AC3 level stuff right here but still hope for some improvements.

.. true, the current one just eats save files.

Its good that they are finally putting out something that looks at least current-gen. Graphics for S&M, TMI, and TWD left a lot to be desired.
