I'm Italian and I'm still waiting for season two
Can anyone explain me why the hell Atari is delaying the Season Two release so much?
It's been two (TWO!!!) years since Season Two original release, why are we Italian fans waiting so long for the DVD release?
Is this happening in other european countries too? I don't know, what I know is that I'm really pissed off at Atari. :mad:
At least I hope the subtitles will be perfect (not like the shit work JoWood made with season one!).
Sorry for the rash

In the end I played it in english too, a month ago. I couldn't wait much longer! But the problem is that with this "trick" I had to buy it, and I will re-buy it when it'll be released in Italian... [italian movie citation :P]
I can understand the dubbing taking a long time, but having to wait 2 years for a subtitle job is not so nice indeed.
I'm Finnish, and although S&M isn't going to get a finnish dub/sub, we're most likely getting an European package with all the language options, so.. we'll have to wait for about as long as you guys. In fact, I think none of the European countries have the retail release yet. I hope they are done with it soon.
But you're definitely not the only one waiting, that's for sure.
I think this one is the last one: They'll have it this week, Oct. 31 . I REALLY hope it's true, I want to buy it with spanish subtitles for my PC.
Thank you all, I don't feel alone any more
I wouldn't hold your breath. I have had this on pre-order from Amazon UK (who were initially promising it for August) and I have just had this email:
I'm hoping that this simply means that Amazon got bored, but I have a nasty feeling that it means that the retail release by Atari may have been canned...

Well, at least their official site has still the game up.. but there's no release date shown anymore.
Yeah, I'm sure they'd have informed Telltale first. Atari can't do this to us! They just can't, and I'm sure they wouldn't want to meet the rage of all the European fans.. + our torches and pitchforks.
Namco Bandai/Atari, the European retailers, have delayed the launch of the game to 2010 fiscal year. That is: Don't you expect the game to be out any earlier than April-May 2010
Well... does anyone know if Telltale Games will have the individual episodes with european subtitles? Becuase I preffer buying them one by one rather than waiting even more months for de DVD...
One gaming store's website has claimed for a long while that the game should have been released today, however, it hasn't been released. Now it's telling me that the game will be released on 22th of January 2010, but I guess it gets delayed - Again.
Oddly enough, the website hasn't changed the release date for the Wii version - Maybe they just forgot about it, or maybe it really was released today. But then again, the website claims that the Wii version is "out of stock"... *shrug* So yeah, I'm pretty sure they just forgot to change the release date.
Hopefully Season Two will be released soon.
I wouldn't mind buying the XBLA version, but... I don't know, I'd like to play it on PC, and have a DVD, with its box, booklet...
PS: it's probably a sales thing, too. Like getting more money when releasing it around Christmas season.
Let us see if they don't make us wait more than 2 months more... (I hope season three won't have nothing to do with Atari, please!!!)
Becuase I'd like to have the DVD and the spanish subtitles. Bringing the DVD to Spain would cost at least 10$, and it wouldn't have spanish subtitles.
Credit Card. I don't have one, and my family is resistent for letting me to borrow theirs.
No offense, but I'm getting tired of people asking the same thing all over and over again. I'm sure all of us retail-waiters have a valid reason for not buying the game from the Telltale store.
BAAAADDDD MARKETING!!!!!
TELLTALE THIS TIME YOU FAILED!
2 years (season 2 was out on november 2007!) waiting for a translation.... and 99% without voices, only with subtitles...
BAAAADDDD MARKETING!!!!!
TELLTALE THIS TIME YOU FAILED! GAME IS YOURS, YOU MADE BAD CHOICES.
It's not the rash i'm angry at, it's that you didn't tell me! :mad:
Ahhhh
The delay of Sam & Max Season 2 on Europe is not Telltale's fault. Well, not mainly Telltale's.
The biggest fault belongs to Namco Bandai/Atari, who is the European distributor of the game. I don't know their motives to delay the launch of the game, but they are, not Telltale, who are having bad marketing strategies. In my opinion, the only valid motive for such a delay is they are doing a full translation, dubbing it to several languages, which I sincerely doubt. And if they finally only localice the subtitles, I will not buy it. Yes, bad marketing, but from Namco Bandai/Atari.
The only thing I can blame on Telltale is that they could have press Namco Bandai/Atari a little more to get the game launched earlier, or that they could have give us more news about the retailer, launching dates, etc... But they are a small company, and maybe they haven't enough power to press the big companies such as Atari
And I suppose they haven't pressed enough. But on top of it, TTG should at least know when the game will be released on Europe, instead of leaving us without any information for us Europeans...
I'm very sad for this, really sad. I don't know if I'll finally buy the game when it comes to Europe. Atari doesn't deserve my money.
A bad choice. Right. Of course, we have no idea if they actually had a better choice. For the record.
i want subtitles in other language in pc downloadable version too, this is really meaningless!
Just why don't add at least subtitles?
That's why I love the fact that games are rarely subbed or dubbed in my language. I'm interested in only one version of a game, and that's the one which is most worked on, English that is. So that I don't go apeturd if something bad happens on the version I was waiting, which is unluckily a version that's not that well done. Yeah, I'm awesome.
By the way, WHERE IS SAM AND MAX SEASON 3? BAAAAD CHOICES YOU'RE MAKING, I TELLS YA, BAAAAAD!
