PS3 vs PC endings for 305
Telltale, I've heard that the PS3 release of 305 has an ending that's different from the PC versions.
In the PC version, at one point during a conversation, you have to choose whether Sam's favorite part of hanging out of Max is adventuring or crimefighting. This choice determines whether you get one of two different endings. However, you can't not have the conversation that selects what ending you get.
Conversely, in the PS3 version of 305, it's apparently possible to avoid this conversation, with the result that you get an ending that's slightly different from either PC ending.
But, I'm still not sure if that conversation (the one that produces the branching-ending effect) is actually included in the PS3 version at all.
So, I'm asking you guys to state on the record: Does the PS3 version of 305 only have one ending? Or does it have all three endings, of which one is not available on the PC version?
I really hope it's the former.... I'm frankly sick of PS3 users getting exclusive content like NutriSpecs.

If this is actually the case... Shame on you, Telltale. PC gamers deserve better than you've treated them.
Well, it started with the "cinematic" direction... and from now on, we'll quite probably slowly start missing a few things. First a little extra, later on a chapter, etc.
Yep. The point & click computer market put them on their feet & now the consoles will get all the goodies.
And to think I used to find it immoral to download Telltale Games without buying them.
And to think I'm still buying them.
Feh.
I never learn.
Cheers!
However, it won't solve the real problem, will it?
Nevertheless, we'd highly appreciate it. I would, at any rate.
Cheers!
And please stop calling the NutriSpecs exclusive. Just because they're not available yet in the computer versions doesn't mean they'll never be.
Just...you know, making sure.
Shwoo, there are many adults who still complain when they can't have 1970s toys. And there's no changing that.
The 5 seconds of today will be one whole chapter tomorrow.
Cheers!
Also, ^ NutriSpecs. They are a bit more than 5 sec. of animation, and we still haven't seen them.
I don't care about the "toy", more about the 30+ or so lines that are EXCLUSIVE with it...
Mine hasn't even shipped yet .
Sooooo... the question everyone wonders 'bout (aside from DRM, info?) is... Nutrispecs?
Nope
No Nutrispecs. aww.
Also how do you have yours when mine hasnt shipped.
Or did telltale forget to update my page.
Ohhhhh dang. We're gonna need some caution tape to wrap this thread in. Pronto.
In the PS3 version (and probably many press/review copies), the little roach, Sam Junior, is up on the railing and Sam grabs him right before the time machine leaves.
While everyone on the team likes Sam Junior, it felt weird to make the little roach such an important part of the ending, so at the very last second we changed it so instead Sam leaves his hat on the railing, and then grabs that instead.
Then why leave the old ending in the PS3 version?
They decided for it to be exclusive. It will apparently have little to no impact on the story, and it really is so minor that people shouldn't bother complaining.
I think is because they change it after submit the game to Sony, and, as you said, the change was so minor so why go to the painful process to submit it again for that
I can upload the bit of commentary to Youtube if I must, just want to be sure it's okay with telltale.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Why, Telltale, why?
EDIT: More questions I guess. Bugfixing? The bust thing in 302?
I don't have time to check for bugs. Nutrispecs is all I checked, and then watcehd commentary for 305.
Of course, it now looks like they've decided on the same course with the NutriSpecs, previous promises to the contrary notwithstanding.
As far as I know, no one decided that any of the endings should be "exclusive." The truth is, that's just how the ending was when the PS3 version shipped. The PC and Mac versions shipped later, and between the two dates the decision was made that Sam going back for his hat was a cooler ending. That's the only reason it got changed.
It definitely wasn't about cheating anyone out of anything or giving PS3 players "more" than PC players. If anything, we went to extra effort to give PC and Mac players a different ending--it would have been easier for us to just leave the PS3 version in the game unchanged.
It's a good excuse. But I have a hard time believing there is an as good one for the Specs .
Look! Over there! Shiny new Back to the Future game! Sam and Max Season Three? What Season Three?
