Do you want Telltale to make an M rated game?
I was looking through the "first M rated video game" you played topic and seeing people talking about their first M game. And it lead me to ask myself on an M rated video game from Telltale games. Would anyone would like to see Telltale do an M rated video game? It would be interesting what they can do with an M game.

But I would want to know why telltale would have an M rated game, if the humor would be that bad than Im fine(loved Conker) but gore and other bits no way, telltale shouldnt do that.
EDIT: Not gameplay-wise ofc.
What I am saying is I do not need TTG to provide me with gore and nudity... I want them to entertain me and gore and nudity is not entertaining for me if its just there for the sake of it.

Even Leisure suit larry was a comedy first and foremost.
I mean really mature game that explores adult themes and focuses on story.
me neither...
Would this count?
An Amesia LIKE Telltale game would be kinda cool.
As far as games, it's the same basic thing.
....and good puzzles :mad:
If violence or language is part of a story, then I say put in just enough for the right emotional impact. However, if there's nudity or explicit sexual content, then count me out.
It's the most mature rated M game that I have ever played.
Telltale doesn't want to limit its audience, of course, and certain ratings will cause certain people not to buy it. To resolve that, what I'd like to see is multiple versions of the game, "T" or "M", same price, buyer decides which version they want. The "Parental Advisory" CD industry has been doing this for years, and the unedited version always outsells the edited one, but the makers can point to the edited one whenever someone complains. Telltale has already shown that they can choose different storylines on demand if known in advance. (Sam & Max 201 versus their Christmas special, which has different solutions to puzzles.)
In short, as long as a good tale is told, it would work.
Unless the L4D is with the Poker Night cast.
Poker night 2: Left 4 dead 3.
*cough*saw*cough*
Amnesia is just awesome!
But I don't think that the Telltale Engine is good enough for a first person shooter.
(and personally I think that the Telltale Engine is becoming really old now - no tessellation, no HDR, no Ambient Occlusion, etc.)
Watch 'em with a mate. That's what I do, and even if it's not all that scary there's fun to be had taking the piss out of the thing.
True, that's actually what I think makes things more unsettling. In continuing with your mention of the Persona series, take Persona 4 for example. You never get a really good look at the murders, all you can really tell is that they're...unnatural. It ups the tension and definitely explains why the towns folk are freaking out a bit that the cops don't have any leads. Murder is always scary, a murder you can't explain is absolutely terrifying.
Plus Persona 2: Innocent Sin gave you the chance to punch zombie Hitler in the throat with the physical manifestation of your MIND. Atlus better localize this game at some point, I'm telling you.
Lets hope they do not start making them though.
If you want to get real technical, there's been an FPS with the Telltale Tool already.
But what fun would a full FPS be?
Must play Strong Bad's CG4AP NOW.
Or Leisure Suit Larry: Lust in Space.
They should hire me just to come up with cool game titles.
Also, one of the things that makes games like King's Quest and Bone so charming and special is their purity. This is one of the things that cause me to love them so much and regard them as classics. (Besides, of course, of countless other reasons.) The one game which I will certainly not touch in the Great Adventure Bundle is Penny Arcade Adventures. (Besides, it's not even a quest!)
I also don't think that a game needs to contain blood and gore in order to be dark or dramatic. Compare Quest for Glory 3 and 4, for example. While the third game was the only one in the series with bloody death animations, (a fact that lowered its value for me, by the way,) no one who played the series will deny that the fourth game was the most frightening.
So, if Telltale will create an M rated game, I might play it, and I might even enjoy it, but I would think that it could have been better.
You called "/end thread" when Leisure Suit Larry was first mentioned and you come back to mention it yourself. Make up your mind man!
That said, the thread's question doesn't investigate the core of the issue. You don't go into a creative brainstorming session with the thought "Great guys, let's make an M rated game next!". The question is: Which themes can we only explore for a more mature audience, and do we want to do that?
