Batman, a TellTale games series

Started by -Pr-6 pages

I REALLY like the idea of choosing between Bruce and Batman. That's something games have never really given us before.

Normally I wouldn't want to play as Bruce without the cape and cowl, but sounds like they'll have an interesting way of how you use him that affects the story and state of Gotham. Guess I'm in.

I just think its cool whenever they think Bruce Wayne is a pansy rich dude and he ends up whooping some ass.

The point is, even in the Arkham games, we didn't get to actively pick Bruce Wayne as even a costume.

Some screens:

The artstyle looks fresh & interesting for Batman (compared to Arkham at least) and what I'd expect of TellTale, though still tired of Troy Baker being everywhere.

Have never been a huge TellTale guy, but I can't wait. It's out soon too, which is comforting.

TellTale games have become really stale lately, and this doesn't look any different. And by god, they have to update their engine.

Said staleness is why I'm not even feeling it for their Walking Dead season 3. Had tried out the WD Michonne game but it was just average at best, playing off the same tired formula. Not really convinced from the trailer that this game will be any different, though may still give it a try if I have not much else to spend on while waiting for other games.

Yeah, Michonne was a bit disappointing. The story wasn't that good and for a Telltale game to work, it needs to be solid.

However, there isn't a ton of devs doing something like this and they are the best. I have enjoyed most of their current work (Walking Dead to Tales of the Borderlands) so I'm looking forward to this.

I would just be happy if they added the ability to be a detective in it.

I guess I'm lucky I haven't played a lot of their stuff, so that staleness will be less apparent to me.

The newer work form them is alright....Guess I just prefer their more older work, Where the games felt more like the old adventure games from the 90's.

I disagree

I've always hated how downplayed Batmans normal life is. It needs to be balanced like Peter Parker/Spiderman. It adds sooo much more to the stories IMO

Meh, as long as the story is solid, I could probably play a Telltale game for years because that's what is important to me.

WD: Michonne didn't have a great one and due to that, it showed the ugly side of these games and how the "choices" you make didn't really mean anything. As well, you rarely had a chance to explore your surroundings like you did in earlier Walking Dead games.

I wanna play this right now dammit.... 😄

I'm definitely playing this on the release day. I haven't played every Telltale game made but here is my list:

TWD season one is nothing short of perfection.

TWD season two is a bit muddled and not as good as season one, but good and worth multiple playthroughs.

TWD: Michonne wasn't very memorable and very short. Good, but kinda forgettable.

The Wolf Among Us is a solid game that is definitely worth multiple playthroughs.

I really enjoyed The Wolf Among Us. I know it's based on a comc/graphic book but it doesn't mean it wasn't an interesting take on an old story. I thought it was great.

Game of Thrones wasn't that bad either. Tales of the Borderlands was kind of funny and neat too. I was surprised Telltale could make a game based on a loot driven shooter.

Came out today, wanted to get it but the PC port is awful, apparently.

It would probably be fixed right?

Make no sense to have a shitty port from Telltale. It's not like they haven't released any previous PC games.

I'm hoping they fix it, because I really want to play it. The port is just awful; mouse, resolution and FPS issues abound. Even on Steam it was being rated pretty poorly up until a while ago.

They did release a patch today, but people are still saying it hasn't fixed all of their issues.

Our machine here is well above the minimum specs; I'm just annoyed I have to wait to spend that sweet, sweet birthday steam credit. Hoping they fix it soon, anyway.

I'll most likely wait until season 1 is finished for this game, Before i play it.
