Jurassic Park Updates?

starpooled

So, Telltale has mentioned there would be more news AFTER their Feb press conference. So when is this press conference, and when might we hear more updates?

Alan Johnson

Our press event is on February 17, you'll be hearing and seeing more about the game in the days following that event.

How do these press events work? I'm new to TellTale so I don't know. Are these events public? Are we going to see videos of them or some type of written thing that talks about what was talked about there?

Edit: BTW, I noticed that your Post count is 666. Stay safe.

Most games press events, this one included, are invitation only. The press is often invited to a venue to see the latest a company has to offer and announce, usually with hands-on time with the game(s) the event is focusing on. Usually the assets that are shown at the event, such as trailers, screenshots, etc. are posted when a press embargo lifts, at which times many games media outlets will post the information from the event. We will also be posting information on our blog about what was shown at the event at that time.

Hey Alan! You wouldnt happen to be able to tell me... well... two things....
first, where is the press event going to be located on the 17th, and second, who (like what general group of people from what company or whatever... ex. Universal) gets the invites. Please get back to me... Thanks!!!!

I'll remember that when I'm sending out invitations for my super duper fun and exciting private beach party.

spoiler alert

Your not invited!

When will the NDA's be lifted (if there are any at all)?

Yeah, this!

I'd hope it to be Friday, but something tells me it'll be sometime next week.

Apparently,Tyrannosaur, the mod at JP Legacy has been invited out to the event, so I'd keep an eye on that site for updates as well...

Yes, but the embargo would mean that Mum's the word until the date given.

Jake

There is an embargo but its very short. Info will be coming out shortly after the event.

How short, like "we'll know it all this weekend" short?

Either way, looking forward to both the JP news and the five mystery projects.

There don't seem to be any interested moderators around so...

For easy reference, I've collated some of the more interesting JP-centric articles and previews following the Telltale Press Event that can be found strewn across the forum and google news:

OPINION: I think everything is looking great (except for that questionable TREX roar ), the inclusions of Mr. DNA, motion cap, and confirmation of John Williams music is more than I could have hoped for. The environments and dinosaurs look particularly great. Bravo...

Okay, great gameplay demo, really shows what we're looking at here. Definitely different that BttF, which is fine considering that, despite some peoples' opinions, they are two totally different breeds. Plus, the fact that they were demoing it with an XBox controller gives me hope that it WILL come to consoles. It's just a question of when.

And I am SOOO totally going to watch every single way you can die in this game. lol!

Not saying anything about the chances of that either way, but games are often demoed on a PC but with a controller due to how hard it is to setup keyboard and mouse demo stations.

Yeah.... I actually play TTG with a XBOX controller on my PC too.... not saying its not coming to XBOX... just do not get your hopes up too high... I feel bad for all you XBOXERS.

Well, would TT account for that by having the on screen prompts match whatever controls you're using, whether it be mouse/keyboard or 360 controller?

Yeah, pretty much every PC game does this now-a-days. If you have a 360 controller plugged in you get 360 button prompts and UI, if you don't you get keyboard and mouse prompts and UI.
