    ...I did not want to be this excited for it. I wanted to be able to wait so that I could see how the DVD went, and so I could capitalize on any of the extremely numerous sales and giveaways that Telltale has made a habit of throwing out there.

    My jaw is dropped in awe, I've laughed at several things in the trailer, and I want to watch it again and again because it amuses me so. The logos. The Twilight Zone, um, Devil? The jokes are just...top-notch. Everything feels right.

    ...I've never been so disappointed to be so damn excited.

    ... Okay, gonna stop before I descend into keyboard-mashing jibberish. That's what LiveJournal's for. Or so I've heard.

    Do I see realtime shadows? Do I, DO I? :cool:

    I'm excited (not because of the shadows... because of EVERYTHING... ING... ING!!!)... :guybrush:
    Oh and BTW, this looks much more like the insanity we've seen in the comics. Plus the engine update looks fantastic... better lighting, higher-res textures, more polygons (the new old neighborhood looks frickin' great... although I guess we won't see it too often).

    I'm working, I'm working, I'M AT WORK and I want to see it, but I can't. Worse, until my intership is over, technically I have no internet.

    The poor people who were kind enough to not put password in their wifi are gonna hate me now.

    Simply away-blowing! It's like I'm seeing the true potential for the first time.

    Hang on, why does it only list PS3 at the end of the trailer

    I'm guessing this may be the trailer that ends up on PSN, so it would only list the PS3. I really really really doubt we won't see it on PC at the same time.

    The preorder now I guess is for PC?

    I'm posting again!

    What's with the overt Serling send-ups? Mostly Twilight Zone, but the picture fames evoke Night Gallery. The "host" isn't exactly Serling-esque. Is he supposed to be?

    Telltale's tech is getting better and better. I was really impressed by the trailer.

    Good job, everyone, good job.

    Wow.

    Yeah, the preorder plug wouldn't really apply to PSN.

    We'll probably see an official press release going out today with more details on initial platforms.

    Excitement has reached critical mass. Good thing it's coming next month. :D

    Yeah, there's also the following link below the "Pre-order now." All it does right now is redirect to the main S&M page:

    http://samandmaxgames.com/thedevilsplayhouse

    To me it looks like the trailer was released early considering Telltale hasn't announced it here yet, unless they're going to make the announcement today.

    I enjoyed the cheesy retro ambience.

    Looks like a mashup of various B-movie and 1960's sci-fi TV tropes (moar theremin, plz!). I doubt they were trying to mimic one exact style.

    Although it looks great and everything.

    I simply can't adjust to these new graphics - looks too much like W&G's grand adventures to me.

    It redirects here, but the pre-order info isn't up yet.

    Is it just me or did they tweak the models a bit?

    I get the impression that the knees in particular are more pronounced (which would be in keeping with the comics).

    What's weird is that I just watched it 5 minutes ago.

    And now it's down? :confused:

    I mean the g4tv link is down, It's not taking me to the video, just bumps back to the G4 website. Is this happening to anyone else? I tried different browsers, too.

    Yes, the G4TV link is down. Posted too early?

    Nope, pretty sure they tweaked the models.

    And yeah, trailer's down.

    If you noticed in the trailer- abandoned Stinky's, graffattied Bosco's and definitely not a-lot focused in the street.

    Looks like they're definitely re-adjusting the game's formula, like we've being saying. :(

    So...for those of us who weren't fortunate to watch it before it was taken down - any game play footage?

    I was watching it, decided to want HD, pressed that, and the result was I got to see nothing... :(

    @ Laserschwert: Upload it somewhere... pretty please?

    Mostly, I'd say (if cutscenes count as gameplay-footage to you). At least there was nothing pre-rendered this time, and the engine really took a step forward.

    Good. I think a lot more people will take to these games then. It's boring to just re-go over the same locations continually.

    G4 put this up early!

    We'll have more info and the real release of the trailer soon, but not yet.

    In the mean time, we'll be keeping a tight lid on the trailer itself, so please don't post it until it's released, or we'll have to go and take it down/delete it.

    Thanks guys, and glad you liked what you saw while it was leaked.

    I dunno, the impression I got was more that they're bringing the street to the level of filth and grime we've been asking for.

    Leeeeaaakkkk, leeeeeaaakkk I said!

    Unless they knew Zazzle still don't pay me... then, that's creepy

    I know, I'm not thinking clearly... April is a cool month, especially I'll get my new notebook just in time... by the way, I hope I knew the recomended specifics. I found a place which sell Notebooks without Operative System. That's awesome for me ^^!

    Crap.

    I didn't get to watch it with sound (no speakers at work).

    Oh well, it looked good anyway.

    Curses. I feel bad for the Telltale guys, wanting to see the leaked footage, but I'm really dying to see this now. Hopefully they put it up soon.

    I've been able to see about ONE THIRD of it!

    I was watching... it stuttered... I reloaded... no more video! Pain.

    Ah dang. This is what I get for going to a protest rally against rising tuition and budget cuts: I miss the trailer.

    Oh well. At least we have a target date and a hint that we'll "officially" see the trailer soon. Yay :)
