"Telltale wanted to do Scott Pilgrim"

So Telltale, is that true?
If so, since the project sunk, could you tell us how it was going to be exactly?

Still, little infos like this help me retain my love towards you, Telltale.
Scott Pilgrim as a chacter is a complete dick. The game references in the manga are too mario and streetfighter to fit as an adventure game. The 8-bit xbox live game that was released was a good fit for that licence.
Ramona is hot though.
I like Scott when he's kicking ass! Plus, he's not that much of a dick in the comics.
Movie did a good job on giving comic readers a way to shout "Ramona is goddamn hot!" without others judging them by saying "Dude, it's a crudely drawn comic book character."
The comic book was pretty much unreadable to me as I hated Scott.
That's the whole point of the movie, though, isn't it? He's a self-loathing asshole who mistreats the other people in his life because he's self-absorbed and hates himself. Presumably in his experience fighting Ramona's evil exes, he realizes what a dick he himself has been and learns to be more considerate toward his friends and loved ones and to like himself for who is (that was the whole point of the Nega-Scott thing, I think).
(I haven't read the comics, btw, just saw the movie.)
Doesn't make it easy to fill his shoes though. I remember in FF8, I hated playing because I kept thinking, "Squall is sort of a a dick".
Now this on the other hand:
You're a cancer.
I'd honestly say the cancer on this forum has more been along the lines of antagonizing people for their opinions, which honestly most of us have been at least a little guilty of, but still. A bit more civility around these parts would be nice.
Futurama??
But then, the more I consider what it would be, the less disappointed I am. For one, I don't think the pacing of an adventure game would match the pacing of SP, which jumps from location to location and convo to convo so quickly that you sometimes have to do a double-take to keep up.
Also, Scott isn't the type of character to solve puzzles and use ingenuity. Whenever he's not fighting, he's too self absorbed and lazy to be proactive.
That's another thing: how would the fights work? They're a little puzzle-y, but if you know the story, you already know how to defeat each ex... if you don't, the puzzles would either make zero sense or be stupidly easy. ("Her weak point is her knee! Click on her knee!")
Finally, Telltale would have to spend a ridiculous amount of money licensing music and name rights. In-house composition would not work at all.
So yeah... when logic overrides my fanboy-ness, maybe this is a good thing.
And I realize an rpg would be slow paced as well, but it would still involve lots of battles.
To be honest, though I do like to see Telltale do something with Despicable Me, even if it's just little cameo thingies posters or props in BttF or Jurassic Park or something.

Da Dan guy gets busy in this office room and dials a number. *bihdühdühdüdeldüt*
"Hihhhiiihh Bryan, it's me Dan again, you know from da USA. How are you? Ahem... You know i just wanted to say that something went terribly wrong the last time we talked to each other and maybe you made your decision based on wrong facts as i just talked back to Dave. What? Yeah the grandma-Dave. Dave assured me that we aren't doing adventures anymore. So, hey, what do you say? Isn't this cool?! Do you see any chances for us making a deal now? Oh man this could lead into some groovy sales, you know?!" What? Yeah, also for you. No, for us it won't be too hard to do because, you know, you have the fan base already and therefore we can minimize the dev time as usual because fans to a certain degree just buy everything and aren't as critical as if we would have to come with something on our own. What? No, no problem, i can wait for a moment."

Come on, isn't there a Telltale guy who wants to answer these questions?
