Freaky, I just got done playing the first episode of their Wallace and Gromit game and then I see this.

I can't exactly say that i'm surprised. They nabbed a ton of high-profile licenses that got increasingly shit profits, all while using a buggy engine that worked fine for slow-paced adventure games, but are ass for fast-paced story games. Not to mention that with TWD4, they've literally used the exact same gameplay template 13 times in a near-row.

But still, i'll miss them for their great games of the past, and even Borderlands was pretty fun in spite of everything possible going against it.

Shit, I should probably grab the Poker Nights now that this news has sprung. Gotta grab every last piece of Sam and Max while I can.

Eh kinda sucks but what do you expect? You can watch all of them on youtube and get the same experience pretty much.

They were pretty much a one hit wonder with TWD1 in the first place. The fact that they made Clementine the main character really shows they had know idea what made it a success in the first place.

Even if Detroit is balls to the wall stupid when it comes to robo racism and emotions, it did the branching paths and endings really well. But it has the advantage that most Telltale games don't have, it is a one off. Telltale has to worry about how wildly different choices can make a continued a season effectively impossible in terms of the amount of work it would require. They have to either go "Fuck you this is the canon ending" which nobody would like. Or go "ayylmao none of your choices REALLY matter, every player pretty much ends up in the same place more or less, LESS WORK FOR US!"

This is the reason one off RPG's will always be better than ones that try to make a narrative across multiple games.

They don't HAVE to worry about that much like how they don't HAVE to have a production pipeline where their company is making episodes one month before they're even released. They also don't HAVE to release stories in a 5-episode format. They chose to do this really shitty setup which is partly why their fanbase started to grow irritated with them and decided to ditch.

I don't like horror games these days, it's just jumpscare jumpscare jumpscare.
I thought Layers of Fear had potential but the paintings were shockingly bad. Oh, and it was chockfull of fucking jumpscares.

Honestly in Until Dawn I only remember a few jump scares, if anything it's more of a throwback to teen slasher flicks with a nice balance of camp and horror.

Until Dawn is like playing a cheesy 80's horror movie, complete with 30 year old actors pretending they're much younger than they are. It also actually has multiple endings. Try it out with a bunch of friends, it's a good time.

It doesn't hurt that Halloween is on it's way, either.

Jesus, sometimes this site is real garbage

Say what you will of the actual quality of the book series, but discworld was pretty important to many people, terminally ill people would write the man telling him they hoped his version of death would come to them
he was a pretty sweet guy too, his family went through so much during that time when he was effectively dying, I dont see why anyone would celebrate him passing the way he did.

these kinds of games were never meant to have even modest budgets or even have a lot of people working on them
point and click, adventure interactive storybook, visual novel or whatever don't usually have a lot of people buying them. its a VERY VERY VERY small niche
they should be cheap but telltale thought lots of money on visuals and licensing would = money

I assume a lot of mismanagement, combined with a very stale take on the genre. The games were basically the western take on Visual Novels, but with even less interactivity by the player. They didn't hold a candle to even the simplest old school adventure games. People probably got bored, I know I did.

That being said, I can't imagine how poorly managed the company was to go under like that. They were a well known company getting lots of contracts to make games. It couldn't just be meh sales that put them under because plenty of third parties were trying to get them to make shit for them. They must have fucktarded management.

It's a prettier game with a better art direction, but it's definitely a bit more shallow and it lost part of what made the first game more striking. And yes, Avellone leaving was a notable loss, he could be up his own ass sometimes but I won't lie, the Grieving Mother is still my favorite companion from the first game.
Also funny how they put romance in the game as soon as he left, some people truly can't help themselves.

This is true, even Indigo Prophecy felt uncomfortable with its own medium. The "tutorial" is literally David Cage as the director of a movie telling you how to play the game. This was cute back then but it becomes quickly apparent that Cage would rather be directing movies than making video games.

They got too arrogant from the success of TWD season 1. This led them into thinking that by buying up every note-worthy property they could churn out the same success. This caused a major financial deficit and spreading their work force too thin.
What they should have done is focus on big property, 1 or 2 lesser ones, and a couple original IP's.

And if you read the interviews and watch their last PAX panel it really seems that only the higher ups can have known about this, since they were planning to switch the ending to unity with TWAU 2, which would've eliminated a ton of problems, as well as take on less projects at once.

Their use of Clementine was pretty weird. She went from the morality pet/child figure in season 1 to main character in season 2 which could be argued as natural progression given the lessons Lee taught her. Season 3 was where they threw in the curveball by changing the focus character to Jave who had had nothing to do with the story til then and made Clementine a supporting cast member with the baggage from season 2 being resolved in flashbacks only to then make her the main character again in season 4.

I wasn't even aware of past lay-offs. I knew Minecraft sold well, but I had no idea it was the ONLY thing that sold well since Walking Dead 1. I also had no idea Batman Season 2 was a huge flop.

I feel like I just found out Breath of the Wild was actually a huge failure and Mario Odyssey made Nintendo bankrupt.

Poor management
Overstaffed
Episodes used to have about 4 hours of gameplay but decided to just make them all 1 hour QTE cutscenes starting with TWD S2
People who put them on the map left
Literally became the THQ of adventure games and just licensed a bunch of shit to crank out low quality garbage
Games started to sell progressively worse with each entry

Telltale TWD (like the show) was only good for its first season.

While I feel bad for all the people laid off, TellTale mostly made mediocre visual novels with meh writing and false marketed them for having any semblance of choice.

The only sad part about this is no more Poker Night at The Inventory Games and no more Sam and Max but beyond that I couldn't care less of the company itself going under.

Maybe, but if they were smart they would've made more games from those two properties. You know, the two properties that actually made profit?

Seriously? I was going to replay all the walking dead games in preparation for the final season.

What the fuck? This is surreal.

This. The owners of the IP held all the cards. Telltale owned nothing except for a buggy game engine and a whole lot of payroll liabilities.
