When is it released?

    It will be released on a tuesday before the end of the month. That could be the 13th, 20th or 27th but it is highly unlikely to be the 13th, hopefully 20th.

    I'm sure it will be well worth the wait :D

    they say one game once a month but they always seem to get later and later
    so i bet the 27th then nothing until september wouldnt suprise me the least

    Why does it have to be on a tuesday? Why would they delay the PC release if they already had it done, just so it would be released at the same day as the PSN release?

    They do try their best to get out an episode every month but with the increase in complexity in the creation of each episode it's only natural that it take longer than a month to finish them off - I'd say it's more like 5 weeks now. Which I guess it why when they announced the season they only gave the month of release for the first 4 episodes and not the finale just in case they do take longer to finish up the preceding episodes than they originally aim for.

    The finale will probably not be out until September and if it is then it's likely to be near the beginning of the month so there's really not that much difference in waiting time.

    I say it's coming out on the 27th, but hopefully it'll be out a week sooner. I'd except an update near the 12th to the 16th.

    They seem to get later and later. I seem to remember the last episode of Monkey Island was actually released a week into the next month. Of course it's worth waiting those extra days if it means improved quality.

    The 5 Tales episodes arrived in the timespan of 5 months (instead of 4, as the monthly release schedule would suggest) - it may be the same with Sam & Max. It means 5 weeks / episode, which is still an insanely tight release schedule.

    Excellent! Toy Story 3 on the 19th (UK release) and Sam and Max on the 20th, best two days ever!
  • edited July 2010
    Whut?

    I've already seen Toy Story 3 in the bios, and I hardly doubt the UK gets it after NL.

    Unless of course you mean you personally go that date, and not that it's released then...

    SPOILERS! SLIGHT SPOILERS! :eek:

    Nah, that is a minor spoiler. I am actually interested in the other part. Cards? Possibly the mind reading cards? I'll be happy if the cards are put to good use, but I really hope for a new power. Last month was disappointing for new powers...
  • edited July 2010
    Yup, definitely look like the mindreading cards.

    Not sure what the clones would think 'bout, though :).
  • edited July 2010
    Mind reading cards?!?!?! Telltale, I will love you forever if you use these cards for puzzle, and do it well!
    I wonder if Charlie Hotep will be coming back? I heard someone speculate on combining psychic powers on another thread: he said that he'd like to combine the Dummy with the Playing Cards and be able to put thoughts in other people's heads. I gotta say, I would too.

    Translated. And I agree, Kane. Samageddon is only the Beginning of the end. Who knows what will come of this? Aside from Telltale, I mean, because obviously they're not telling until it's released and everyobody has played it.

    One word. Or rather, one word stretched out for miles on end: Toooooooooyyyyyys.

    Sadly that's the cinema release date, it's a long wait but it's worth it!

    Max goes big in 305, evil Sam zombies in 304, this game is really trying to make New York suffer from their terrible cliche' movies.

    ha the cards back looks different from episode 1 to the icon of episode 4

    Yep its the mind reading cards. They confirmed it on the preorder forums it is the main power this episode like rhinoplasty in the last one.

    The episode should still be awesome though!:D

    well im sure mind reading will be hilarious. reading the minds of people and getting some funny secrets.
  • edited July 2010
    I'm not saying it will be rubbish. I'm just saying that I was hoping for new powers. Oh, yes, mind reading should have funny results.
  • edited July 2010
    I'm sure we'll get a new power. I mean the Clone Sams are stealing Toys all over the place!!! We'll probably get two new toys as well as Mind Reading/Coolest Power Ever.

    Mind control Coolest Power Ever.

    Yeah, mind control. I was hoping that Charlie Ho-Tep will be a way to make people Max's puppets. Oh well, maybe Episode 5 will have it!
