A Batman adventure game? Holy shit yes

 

[blakep267]

I can't complain, I usually pick up tell tale game passes for $10 on sale so I'll gladly try batman. I loved birderlands

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

And still no Firefly. Harumph.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

An actual detective-based batman game... Might be down if I like their spin on it

 

[Cartman86]

Holy shit the trailer even had performance issues.

Spoiler

Tales from Borderlands is probably my GOTY

 

[Penguin]

I'm both intrigued by this

And disappointed it's Batman

Yes of all of DC's chars he probably makes the most sense without dipping into B-Tier, but... yeah..

I'll buy though

 

[Fupri]

Waiting for people to shit on this & Telltale again. I personally enjoy their games.

 

[delSai]

Man fuck. This got me really hyped.

 

[Johndoey]

They did a good job with Fables so this should be cool.

 

[Kinyou]

This could be really cool

 

[illmatic22]

Half expected the Superman logo to show up behind the Batman symbol. Guess I've been watching too many Bvs teasers.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Batman exists, so he was bound to get a Telltale series eventually.

 

[Officerrob]

I wish I was interested, but I'm burned out on Telltale games

 

[Cerium]

Tales from the Borderlands is their best work to date, and is a straight up amazing modern adventure game.

The exception that proves the rule.

 

[georly]

Just hope it's like at least 95% detective work, but I doubt it.

I just want a batman detective game.

 

[saunderez]

Telltale is overrated, imo. They aren't even the best at creating episodic games.

Agreed. I'm so glad they didn't end up doing Kings Quest, The Odd Gentlemen did a far better job than they ever would have.

 

[anaron]

omg


batfamily PLEASE (especially Cass and Kain)

 

[outunderthestars]

I wish I was interested, but I'm burned out on Telltale games

This. Their games have gotten incredibly stale.

 

[Secret Fawful]

God damn it! I don't want to buy a Telltale game again after the way they've handled their fans and their engine, but.....it's Batman.

 

[georly]

Agreed. I'm so glad they didn't end up doing Kings Quest, The Odd Gentlemen did a far better job than they ever would have.

Yeah, best cancellation in recent years because it rose up way better than it ever could have been.

 

[Zukuu]

If it's dark and mature, like Wolf Among Us, I'm SO IN!

 

[Johndoey]

omg


batfamily PLEASE (especially Cass and Kain)

Lol. There is zero chance Cass will be in this accept it from now. The best you could hope for is Stephanie Brown, Batwoman maybe.

 

[jack_package_200]

Maybe Telltale should fix their buggy mess of an engine they use for their games before announcing a new title.

 

[Red Hood]

"oh yessss yess, this is the Suicide Squad game from WB set in the Arkhamverse!!!"

~sees Telltale~

 

[mercenar1e]

just when i thought a Batman game couldn't run worse than Arkham Knight.. here comes the Telltale version lol

 

[Instro]

Too many. It's become quantity over quality.

Wasn't a whole lot of quality to begin with...

 

[Cipher Peon]

And still no Firefly. Harumph.

I've said that I'll play every Telltale game because they're awesome but Firefly is way past where the line would be crossed. Least favorite show of all time and I don't think Telltale's magic can make me like it.

 

[Dennis]

What is with the negativity?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

In before Telltale's Batman game doesn't work on PC

More like before it works on anything, their tech is embarrassing.

 

[kevin1025]

I've come to the point where I'm waiting for all of their episodes to come out before buying now. Year-long waits diminishes the story of their games. I'm definitely interested in a Batman Telltale game, though, just...once it's complete.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Are we getting TftB Telltale or GoT Telltale?

 

[hammertomb]

Is conroy voicing batman?

More like before it works on anything, their tech is embarrassing.

I didn't have any issues with tales and game of thrones on ps4.

 

[johnnydrama]

I'm in like Flynn.

 

[jack_package_200]

just when i thought a Batman game couldn't run worse than Arkham Knight.. here comes the Telltale version lol

 

[v1ncelis]

Another easy platinum when it goes on sale?

 

[batrush]

I seriously do not understand why so many IPs are getting Telltale spinoffs. It's getting kinda ridiculous.

Telltale is overrated, imo. They aren't even the best at creating episodic games.

The praise their works receive is pretty baffling. wouldn't be surprised to discover that much of their audience hasn't played many adventure games

 

[Zemm]

Too many. It's become quantity over quality.

Tales from the Borderlands is the best thing they've done though and that was very recent.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

If this is Batman just being a detective, I'd be happy.

 

[Frozone]

Day one.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

lol people thought a non-batman dc game was coming out

 

[VanWinkle]

First Telltale game I will buy.

 

[Skelter]

Tales from the Borderlands is the best thing they've done though and that was very recent.

Which is older, Game of Thrones or Tales from the Borderlands? GoT is pretty shitty.

 

[kevin1025]

If this is Batman just being a detective, I'd be happy.

Outside of iffy action sequences of pushing left or right on the stick and occasional button prompts, I can easily see it being a Batman detective story, which could be incredible.

 

[FoxnHurley]

If it's dark and mature, like Wolf Among Us, I'm SO IN!

Agreed! Wolf Among Us was so awesome! Telltale Games were ballsy enough to pay homage to its graphic, mature comics.

This is a refreshing take on Batman, and the cel shaded graphics would undoubtedly be a great fit for it. Hopefully we'll see some screens or gameplay of it in the near future!

 

[AudioEppa]

Day 1

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

I've said that I'll play every Telltale game because they're awesome but Firefly is way past where the line would be crossed. Least favorite show of all time and I don't think Telltale's magic can make me like it.

Naw, any setting can go any different way depending on how it's handled. If somebody could fall out of love of a franchise, the opposite could also happen.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Maybe a Batman game with actual detective work?

Telltale is focused on streamlined cinematic experiences with minimal player interaction; they're not going to let players do actual detective work.

 

[Easy_D]

I hope this turns out nice, I like Batman, but Telltale can be kinda ehhhhhhhh

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Marvel will remember that

LOL

 

[Ferrio]

I seriously do not understand why so many IPs are getting Telltale spinoffs. It's getting kinda ridiculous.

Telltale is overrated, imo. They aren't even the best at creating episodic games.

Tales of Borderlands has been great so far (up to ep 4). Think the way they have the narrative set up + the crazy setting allows them to really let loose. So I'm not going to count this game out yet.
