Telltale Games makes public appearance, Internet thinks it knows everything
Telltale Games, a new adventure design company made from some members of the former Sam & Max Freelance Police team, have finally peeked out their heads after months of hiding. You can read a Q&A with one Telltale team member, Dan Connors, over at Gamespot.
In the Q&A Connors talks about Telltale’s goals (compelling story driven games that remind everyone of the great adventures of yesteryear, using online distribution with no publisher), a bunch of silly stuff, and of course, whether their first game is a Sam & Max title. Of course, Dan Connors has nothing to say about that, though he does say that their first game will be based on a “much loved franchise.”
That’s not very conclusive at all, but it hasn’t stopped the nerds of the world over at Slashdot from proclaiming it the second coming (or third or fourth depending really) of the Freelance Police, saying (with only the Gamespot interview to go by) that Sam & Max is already saved and coming soon from Telltale. I definitely didn’t read that in the Gamespot story, but I’d be happy if it was true!
What is Telltale really up to? We’ll see! Until then, their site is definitely worth taking a look at.
