I just got back from the first day of the Penny Arcade Expo. The Telltale booth was great! There were three computers with demos: Two season one, and one CSI. Apparently, the Season 2 demo isn't ready yet, but the trailer is. It's AWESOME! I won't give any spoilers, but I will say that it is neat. :D
Oh, and I got the soundtrack there, as well. Without shipping fees or taxes! And I got my DVD signed a couple of times as well.

Apart from the Telltale booth, there were quite a few wide and varied things. Everything from pirates to orks to barbaric bloodied warriors.

    did you go to any panels? can't give any hints about the trailer?
  • KedriKedri

    Hmmm...
    Nope. And I'm adding this to seem like it's a real spoiler. >:D I might say something, but only with a Telltale person's permission. Don't want to give away anything they wanted secret.

    You're so lucky. I wish England had some big games convention. :(

    Plus I refuse to read the spoilers, I want episode one to be a big suprise (so please use spoiler boxes everyone :D)!

    I just highlighted the first word of the spoiler box. Good one, you sure tricked me. ;)

    I hate the fact that the nearest games convention is lezping, and that's in germany!

    I just want to know the results of the "Help Telltale make a Sam & Max Episode" panel.

    Oh, a LOT more. :D

    And Zeek, I'll try to be there. If I'm not, I'm sure there'll be a post in the blog here.

    How long does the trailer last (aprox)?

    If I was at PAX I'd just make camp outside the Telltale booth. :D

    I hope it's better then the freelance police trailer because as far as Sam & Max trailers go, I still think it's the best.

    I just watched it on YouTube. "Why won't you just die?" is totally a Simpsons joke. ;)

    This is actually my favorite. It's timed so well. But opinions vary, I'm sure.

    It's about average trailer length, possibly a bit longer.

    Does it give a rough idea of what the first episode is going to be about, or is just Sam & Max in some random situation?

    I went to the "Make an episode" event today, which was, in fact, only a scene. Nevertheless, the results were hilarium. I think they'll upload the clip we made sometime soon. Also, they had the season 2 gameplay demo today. Neatness is in store...:)

    I think it's a random situation. Like last year's E3 trailer, it's more of an ad to the season itself. Of course, it MIGHT be an episode 1 trailer...I really don't know. :D

    Hey Kedri did telltale actually confirm they are porting Sam & Max to wii and xbox360.. or did they just say they'd like to have sam & max on all consoles eventually

    Sam...Max...Wii...finally together?

    HOLY HEAPING HORDES OF ENGORGED GAMERS ARMED WITH THE KONAMI CODE, LITTLE BUDDY!

    Ironically, I was just taking part in a discussion with a few members on GameFAQs' Wii board who thought TTG should bring Sam & Max to Wii. Glad to see that it's more than just a fanboy pipedream.

    They didn't confirm any ports. You'll have to live with the speculation upon the recently hired Wii programmer. ;)

    Another thing, at the Play demo, Emily briefly flashed the debug mode screen. Such spoilers...such spoilers that man was never meant to see....MY EYES!!!:eek:

    Oh, right... :)

    Well, since you're here, can you confirm/deny wether I can go into full detail of the trailer, or the demo?

    Sure, go for it. You're not under an NDA at PAX or anything :)

    Might want to use spoiler tags, though.
  • KedriKedri
    edited August 2007
    Of course. :)

    OK, here I go!

    Fluffy light spoilers:
    Storylines are continued, and fans have been listened to.

    Moderate spoilers:
    The trailer shows Sybil and Abe on a date at Stinky's, and Bosco's shop in red alert mode.

    Big raw spoilers:
    Shadowed Mexican guy, The puppet president stealing back his head, and THE Flint Paper.

    EDIT: I'm removing the full trailer transcript. Shouldn't be shown.

    Hmm, there's some interestingly ambiguous comments regarding a console release in that joystiq article.
    Sam & Max on Xbox 360? Answer: We definitely want to see Sam & Max on all the platforms. "We're developing for Xbox, Wii, and PC right now. We're not doing anything with PS3 right now." They "certainly expect" to see them on consoles soon. "Our idea of soon is different than Microsoft's." Ooooh, burn!
    Interpret that whatever way you want...

    Does that means someone forwarded my idea of "Sam & Max meets The Ventures" kind of track to Jared? (Pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleeeeeeeeaase....)

    When Kevin said "We're developing for Xbox, Wii, and PC right now," he definitely meant Telltale at large, not specifically Sam & Max. I can say with a lot of certainty that there are no builds of Sam & Max running on console development hardware in the office right now. Will there be in the future? Probably! But for now, all our console development work is dedicated to 1) getting the toolset and engine ported over, 2) getting console CSI: Hard Evidence out the door. :)

    PS: As for when the trailer and other info on Season Two is going up on the site, one might be able to figure that out quite easiy at this point!

    Most likely August 28th, unless he's teasing us.
  • KedriKedri
    edited August 2007
    I'm guessing the 28th, too.

    Nothing new spoiler-wise today, except I managed to take in all the debug spoilerific scenes. I'll keep those to myself for now.

    In the meantime, here are a few of the gameplay spoilers:
    Bosco, being a trillionaire, no longer needs a store, so he's converted the place into a top-security something-or-other.
    Abe & Sybil are on a date at Stinky's, who is having a trivia contest: when was the war of 1812 fought?

    A. 1812
    B. 20,000 BC
    C. March 3rd, 2004
    D. Bangers and Mash

    A, apparently, is wrong. Definately a puzzle.
    The bug is also at Stinky's, and explains that his quoting of the exorsism is caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, which was in turn caused by the death of his father, caused by weapons of sanitation.

    Does the game expand past the neighborhood (like the island in the concept art), or did you not see it in the demo?
  • KedriKedri
    edited August 2007
    I didn't see the sets themselves, but through debug mode, I definately saw some names of non-neighborhood areas...

    Is the trailer in game footage or pre-rendered stuff like in the season one trailer?
