Telltale Batman Reveals New Screens

Telltale Games, with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment, today unveiled the first look at BATMAN – The Telltale Series ahead of its worldwide debut this summer.

PixelGateUk3682d ago

looks slightly sharper, hopefully there's less tech issues in this one

Garethvk3682d ago

That would be great. Telltale is usually good about that.

NukaCola3682d ago

Does look polished. I am going to complain but not really complain, I was hoping this was going to be more black adn white like a Sin City graphic novel. I don't know why I thought that the whole time, probably the logo.

jb2273682d ago

Well they are claiming that they've got a new engine for this one going forward so I guess we will see. At this point I've gotten so used to the trademark TellTale glitches & hiccups the games may not feel the same if they actually run smoothly...

I'm kinda surprised by the more modern art direction they've taken though. The prerelease stuff looked like they were going for that more minimalist Year One vibe. Have they announced what time frame this story takes place in? Seems more modern really. Either way the game will be cool, but it ain't quite new Arkham levels of excitement from me. The TellTale method is starting to show its age as of the Michonne series. Nice way to kill some time but nothing to write home about.

KentBenMei3682d ago

Arkham series was trash. I don't want some generic open world action game, I want a good story like the comics and animated series gave us.

jb2273682d ago

@kent

Wow really, you thought the entire Arkham series was trash? I mean it lost the plot from time to time but I'm a huge fan of the comics & animated series, I grew up on them...the first 2 Arkham games written by Paul Dini were phenomenal stories & extremely fun games for me. They mixed so many disparate elements very well.

I honestly don't see how TellTale's writers will be capable of telling a better Batman story than the man who created the Batman TAS & helped to create Harley Quinn herself. As far as I know, it's not like someone like Geoff Johns or Scott Snyder is writing this game, so I just can't hang my hat on some idea that TellTale staffers are going to knock this one entirely out of the park w/ so little information to go on.

Looks like any other TT game

Why do people go on about the same old boring FPS games and yet praise to the high heavens TT point and click games which use popular franchises to gain more interest.

Garethvk3682d ago

I dod not mind Borderlands but the pre sequel was more fun to me.

Majister-Ludi3682d ago

Because they at least know how to tell an interesting story that takes place in a universe I'm a fan of. Those boring fps games you mentioned are just that boring. TT gameplay leaves something to be desired but story fills that hole.

-Foxtrot3682d ago (Edited 3682d ago )

I'm sorry but

1) Their stories are not all that amazing, better then FPS stories sure but don't make them out to be the holy grail when they are not. Take the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Borderlands names away from the games and people wouldn't give a shit, they'd be average.

2) Just because you have an alright story shouldn't hide the fact that their games still look the same, feel the same and play the god damn same. That's highly unfair.

It's double standards...at the end of the day if a FPS game can look/feel the same after all these years why can't TT get the same backlash.

Kreisen3682d ago

I feel TT really have to sit back and rethink their whole approach to game design. Stick to point and click but do something about the way you engage the player

Timesplitter143682d ago (Edited 3682d ago )

because telltales games are fun and the visual style is fun

-Foxtrot3682d ago (Edited 3682d ago )

I don't get how with like over 10 games they've done which all play and feel the same they can be still fun

They've done nothing to change things up or evolve the genre.

If they did their own game from scratch it would probably not be that good as they don't have brand name behind it to boost it's popularity from the get go

Another double standard is how when Heavy Rain came out it was criticised on some of the things the Walking Dead was praised for, thus winning GOTY.

KentBenMei3682d ago

Their stories are not always amazing, agreed, but TWD was outstanding. And nobody cares if the games look and play the same, it is about story. FPS rely on gameplay to draw people in so they cannot look and feel the same like TT can. It isn't double standards because they are different genres. If TT was making shooters I would agree.

-Foxtrot3682d ago

It can't just be about one thing and then ignore everything else

What if CODs stories were amazing, doesn't change the fact how generic they are now or how boring they have gotten does it.

vanethe3682d ago

I hear you , I only played TWD and TWAU just for the story . they are games where I kick and relax and enjoy them slowly.

KentBenMei3682d ago

"It can't just be about one thing and then ignore everything else

What if CODs stories were amazing, doesn't change the fact how generic they are now or how boring they have gotten does it."

But it can be about just one thing and ignore everything else. It's called "redeeming value." If I make you the best tasting dinner you've ever had but it looks like trash and doesn't smell particularly good I can bet you'd still come to me every night.

You're also forgetting that FPS as a genre is out to do things that TellTale's games aren't. You're comparing apples and oranges. Aside from both being technically considered "video games" there's no comparison between them and so obviously different standards will apply. You remind me of people who complain about Visual Novels. It is illogical to go into a Visual Novel expecting Grand Theft Auto, it doesn't work that way. We rate games based on what they are, what they are trying to be, and how well they do it.

camel_toad3682d ago

Leave it to TT to make the most generic looking Batmobile possible. It looks like a "rad" car from a generic 80's movie that would only be cool in the 80's. (ie. The Wraith, loved it as an 80's kid, horrible in every way now)

Troy Baker voices Batman.

Dude is in everything.

goldwyncq3682d ago

Troy Baker and Laura Bailey again, why do those two have to be together in every project?

Sunny_D3682d ago

I love the walking dead games so here's hoping this can blow me away.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio74d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing74d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9274d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit74d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing74d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9274d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg77d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k477d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS77d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6976d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
