Whoa the game's announced! Starting a new thread here to talk about the trailer and whatever else, since the old one was full of leaks and holes.

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse

Trailer and stuff on the official site

Here's the official spiel: "The new season Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse is the biggest, strangest and most epic to date. As the saga begins, an otherworldy power for controlling matter and space calls to the strongest and strangest who might wield it - intergalactic warlords and eldritch gods, under-dwellers and scholars of the arcane.

Gaming's greatest dog and rabbit sleuths Sam & Max seek the power's ancient secrets, as Max gains shape shifting, teleportation, mind reading and future vision abilities for battling these foes. The saga plays out in a surreal 5 month-long symphony of mayhem that gets deeper and more twisted with each episode."

So how are you guys doing?

    You did very well to your credit to keep everything so tightly knitted up until the last few days. A lot of things are leaked so far ahead that when they are launched, the surprise has been spoilt.

    Will pre-order The Devil's Playhouse as soon as I can.

    sooo excellent.
    however, it does look very console friendly. I hope the pc version doesn't feel like a cheap port.

    So no $5 discount to preorder as IGN mentioned?

    And that art's totally my desktop now.

    Be nice to have something a little more hi-res, but it scales nicely, still stunning.

    From the trailer, it really looks like TTG has outdone themselves. I was a little worried about this season from some of the questions on the survey regarding features and advertising copy, but...So far it's looking great.

    I would have not preorderd and waited for a wiiware/xbla port, but i guess that wont happen for a while now will it:p so i preorderd it, ahh i have been trying to get a free ep. from telltale tuesday, but through preorders nice too.
    EDIT: i dont want to make a thread about this so ill just ask here, how do i claim the free episode, for the preorder and i guess if i win, telltale tuesdays, do i just go to the store and at checkout it is free?

    Er, I was so excited I preordered right away, but actually I want the deluxe Monkey Island loot and the tarot cards too... If I had ordered at the same time I'd get free shipping, right? Should I send you an email about that?

    (Or does it work if I buy Season 1 & 2's soundtrack? I can't tell if the offer is only about the new merchandise or not).

    You can disregard that. The free shipping worked with the soundtrack.

    So, no Gametap this time around? What kind of pre-order bonuses are being offered this time around?

    Free episode, forum with devs, and a chance at a print poster of The Penal Zone.

    BTW, I hope that all the retro posters get printed. I'm looking forward to 'They Stole Max's Brain!'

    From the email i recieved, you get the game of course, 1 free episode of your choice, the ability to post in a special thread(speaking of which where is that i checked the link and it directed me to the download page) and discounts all for a while.

    Oh man, I cannot wait for this! I'd pre-order it, but my parents don't like making money transactions on the internet.

    Please, Telltale, please tell us that this game will also be available on WiiWare or Xbox Live Arcade (preferably the latter because my Wii's running out of space) or something like that. Please, with sprinkles, oreos, bits of cookie dough, banana slices, and a cherry on top?

    That human-sized roach I saw in the trailer looks like it came from one of the concept art pieces from "Sam and Max Plunge Through Space"

    It's going to be on the PlayStation Network along with PC & Mac to start with. Other platforms are likely, but not on the first go-round. (Like the first 2 seasons of Sam & Max eventually found their way to XBLA and Wii disc).

    Very pleased to see this coming to PS3/PSN. Great decision. Can't wait to see my favourite charming creatures in 1080p.

    Are there any plans to provide a bonus for PS3 pre-orders? How will those pre-orders work exactly? I may end up double-dipping on this one since I would like to have the game on my MBP when on the go also. Telltale should allow us to purchase for a flat-price and get access to all versions.

    Obviously no plans exist yet in the real world, but if we have awesome posters, it's hard to resist printing them up and putting them in the store. We'll see...

    Does this mean that future releases of other series (upcoming and existing) will make it to the PS3 as well? This, coupled with the Monkey Island remakes coming to PS3 made my day. Just need ToMI to come to PSN and the PS3/Mac owner in me will be all kinds of giddy.

    I've been told that PlayStation Network preorders will be $5 off -- $29.95.

    (The deal for PC pre-orders is that you get a free episode, access to the pre-order development forum, and are entered in the drawing for a free Penal Zone poster.)

    The usual Telltale line applies here: We've got nothing announced and no formal plans right now, but our end goal is always to get all of our games on as many platforms as we can, so everyone can play them. So, keep watching the skies. Or the blog.

    Yes! I pre-ordered, and took advantage of the free shipping to pick up the Animated Series DVDs as well. I am super stoked to get ahold of these. :D

    Question to Jake/TTG: Will it be simultaneously released for PC, MAC & PSN? If I pre-order now, will I be able to download my Mac app on 15 April? Will that also be the day when the Mac ports of Seasons 1&2 be released? Thanks :)

    I don't think they're open yet! Not sure. You will at some point see a forum called "Freelance Police Dispatch" or something similar, in the main forum list along with this one.
