Premiering this Spring

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series is a brand new story of the universe's unlikeliest heroes: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot. In the wake of an epic battle, the Guardians discover an artifact of unspeakable power. Each of them has a reason to desire this relic, as does a ruthless enemy who is the last of her kind, and who will stop at nothing to tear it from their hands.

From Earth to the Milano to Knowhere and beyond, and set to the beat of awesome music, you wear the rocket-powered boots of Star-Lord in an original Guardians adventure, where your decisions and actions drive the story you experience.

The series will feature a star-studded cast of voice talent, including Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series) as Star-Lord, Emily O'Brien (The Young and the Restless, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor) as Gamora, Nolan North (the Uncharted series, Pretty Little Liars) as Rocket, Brandon Paul Eells (Watch Dogs) as Drax, and Adam Harrington (The Wolf Among Us, League of Legends) as Groot.

 

[Santiako]

That Groot looks nasty yo.

 

[Death Metalist]

Update the fucking engine PLS

 

[Drayco21]

Screens look awful; like they're using Contest of Champions character models. And of course it's just the movie cast. Blegh.

Nolan North (the Uncharted series, Pretty Little Liars) as Rocket

Terrible, but I wasn't going to be happy with this thing no matter what they do.

 

[Neoxon]

Nolan North is reprising his role from Disney Infinity, in case you're curious.

Hopefully this comes to Switch (as rumored).

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Looks waaaaayy more impressive visually than I expected. Kind of reminds me of MvC3 and its almost comic book aesthetic.

 

[Spinky]

That Gamora looks way better than the MCU version.

 

[Dysun]

I really hope it runs better than Batman

 

[Megatron]

Not super excited for this at the moment. Hope it's good though.

 

[Nesther]

Will we get another Telltale game as funny as Tales from the Borderlands? I hope so!

 

[Anung]

Yep, it's a telltale game alright.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hmmm, no comic lines on the characters. Not sure that's an improvement.

 

[funkystudent]

Terrible, but I wasn't going to be happy with this thing no matter what they do.

Nolan North is amazing at not sounding like Nolan North. I wouldnt worry about him

 

[Hot Coldman]

ctrl+f "Greg Ellis"

bah

 

[iTehDroiD]

Featuring a stable 20fps, tons of crashes and all that while running at the lowest resolution your console has ever seen.

 

[Icolin]

Looks great.

 

[Kouichi]

Looks pretty good. I liked Nolan's Rocket voice in Infinity so I have no problem with that.

 

[Lashley]

Hope it's good, I liked Batman

 

[Drayco21]

Nolan North is amazing at not sounding like Nolan North. I wouldnt worry about him

He's played the character before, and wasn't good. I guess he's an improvement over Steve Blum's Rocket at least.

Greg Ellis or bust.

 

[Fbh]

Looks good.

Hopefully it reaches 1080p and 30 fps on consoles....And yeah, it's ridiculous having to say this

 

[Neoxon]

ctrl+f "Greg Ellis"

bah

Greg Ellis or bust.

Greg Ellis hasn't voiced Rocket in years since Marvel moved away from Rocket having a Cockney accent (thanks to the MCU). Due to this, don't be surprised if Rocket's VA in MvCI ends up getting recast.

That said, I would have preferred Trevor Devall.

 

[Gator86]

No way this reaches 20fps stable.

 

[Icolin]

Yep. David from TLOU is a prime example.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I know all this and I'm still disappointed.

 

[luulubuu]

Looks like an early 2000s rock videoclip.

Not diggin' the style so far.

 

[Inferno313]

I understand wanting to utilize the aesthetic of the film, as that's how nearly everyone knows these characters, but some of those screens look directly lifted from the film.

Take some creative liberties, telltale.

 

[Mpl90]

Actually, the game was (seemingly) recently listed on Newegg for Switch too

http://nintendoeverything.com/newegg-lists-telltales-guardians-of-the-galaxy-for-switch/

I've asked how reliable Newegg can be with leaks of this kind, but no answer so far. We'll see, I guess.

 

[RoyalFool]

The models are okay, but they need to invest in some proper shader support. They look like plastic action figures!

 

[adamsapple]

Screens look underwhelming.

I was actually gonna post that.

 

[heringer]

Well, it looks exactly like what I imagined a Guardians of the Galaxy Telltale game would look.

 

[The Artisan]

those graphics look a lot better than your average fuckin telltale game

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Maybe that's the point. To look like the movies.

 

[Gbraga]

This looks like The Sims. They ruined my waifu.

 

[Boke1879]

Looks great to me.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Honestly, the game looks way better than I thought it would, visually. It's Telltale, why is everyone so surprised?

Terrible, but I wasn't going to be happy with this thing no matter what they do.

Nolan North is actually really, really talented and can make lots of impressive voices, it's just that shallow game directors love Nathan Drake and want that character in their game. Give him a shot before counting him out.

 

[iTehDroiD]

Yea probably runs at sub 720p on PS4 now.

 

[StoopKid]

Just thinking about the performance on switch

 

[Mafro]

Urgh at them using the movie designs and double urgh at Nolan North.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Nice bullshots at probably about 6x the resolution the game will run at.

 

[kurahador]

Looks better than I thought for Telltale game. Glad to see Gamora having that yellow eye liner.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Graphics look pretty good. Gamora and Drax are a little closer to the comics which is interesting.

I think Bosmon officially lost a bet with these screen releases.

 

[RoyalFool]

Nice bullshots at probably about 6x the resolution the game will run at.

But about the same framerate.

What bet?

 

[Falchion]

Awesome! Can't wait but I guess it's too much to ask for them to actually improve their engine.

 

[Inferno313]

Maybe that's the point. To look like the movies.

but I can watch the movie, if I want the movie, and it'll probably be better

 

[Joeku]

Who are the creatives behind this? The Tales from the Borderlands peeps? Because that would be a perfect fit.

 

[lobdale]

But about the same framerate.

OOOOOOOF

 

[pbayne]

Will we get another Telltale game as funny as Tales from the Borderlands? I hope so!

Hope so too. A true gem of a game among the mediocrity that Telltale has been mired in for a while.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Hey Telltale. Fur shading was like a fucking thing on the PS2. Chop chop.
