The Walking Dead, Fables, A Song of Ice and Fire and Tales from the Borderlands had an existing lore, and all of them were big franchises wi… moreth big fandoms.
Minecraft has a big fandom of 12 year olds, and I don't want this community to be filled with premature idiots (I'm aware that not all 12 year olds are, there are members on here that are about the same age and aren't little shits). But the problem I see here is that this place will basically become overrun with said little shits.
Also, what has Minecraft to offer, really. It has exactly one plot point:
You are stranded on an island. Build something.
Thread: #Cancelthistrash
I'd like to call myself a loyal Telltale fan but I have to ask why? Rather than a Fallout spin off or Mass Eff… moreect spin off they pull this out. I don't remember anyone asking for this and I couldn't be less un invested. It seems Telltale wants to apply to the same audience I want to differentiate from and avoid.
it is a terrible idea plain and simple i don't see how they can make an interesting story out of buliding houses and choping trees etc,
… more
I agree, I'm a adult. I want to play adult oriented games. I don't want to play game a child game.
There are so many better options
This is the biggest problem i have with Minecraft. Anything would of been better, countless threads did people post their suggestions, I don't remember 1 time ever seeing MINECRAFT as a choice.
Thread: My Reaction to hearing this game
This looks like a game doomed to fail as the target audience will not go for it, and that … moreMinecraft is already being milked to the limits.
PLEASE TELLTALE, don't give us this! People want TWAU and TWD sequels, or Firefly or something! Not this!
people do relize we aren't mad because this is most likely gonna have a e rating? we are mad because this is just a stupid move on telltale'… mores part and the resources they are gonna put into this could go towards something actually good (sam and max 4, back to the future 2, twau 2) or a better ip like star wars or bioshock and if the minecraft kids come here this community is truly gonna go down at least i hope people are mad for these reasons i'm all for telltale going back to do light hearted stuff but not this crap
I'm not expert in Minecraft either. But from what I've seen, the community is dominated by kids. The fact that Telltale has said they will be influenced by the Minecraft community means their game will likely be kid-friendly.
Fair point.
The other problem with bringing in a younger audience though is that they might have to tone down the violence and swearing i… moren there other games to appeal to their new fan base. I doubt Telltale would do that, but if they attract enough attention from this game then they'll have to tailor TWD and their other stuff to their new audience.
Agree with your last point. The problem is that TWD and there other stuff is character based- it's all about emotion, and how the characters… more interact with each other. That's why people love their games. But Minecraft has none of this, so their basically starting from scratch. Also, TWD and there other stuff is more realistically set, whilst Minecraft is obviously a computer sandbox game- immediately the realism is ruined, which undermines the players relations with the characters. I can't imagine Minecraft getting the same emotions out of people as TWD has.
Then again, this is for a younger audience, so I guess they can't make it too emotional. My main worry is that, by attracting a new, young audience, Telltale will tone down there other stuff just to get more kids interested in their other stuff.
As I said earlier, I think it would be cool if Telltale incorporated a style of puzzle solving (or other interaction) that fit the source ma… moreterial for each series as an addition (not a replacement) to their template, instead of having each game differ exclusively in how the player solves puzzles or makes choices.
I personally don't think that would mean having puzzles as a necessity in each game, but I do think it would be cool to see Telltale branch out and experiment with more gameplay beyond dialogue selection and purposefully clean-cut/simplified QTEs. Again, I think it boils down to what would fit the source material. Some series could easily benefit from puzzles, but I don't think puzzles always fit for each franchise.
They have four or five games to be going on with. Two of which people are clambering for, like The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead
… more You know, people hated Wolf Among Us when Walking Dead was announced in a similar way that people hate the Minecraft announcement now. Despite Wolf having been announced alongside Season One of Walking Dead, people complained that Telltale was abandoning their Walking Dead fanbase and slowing down progress on Walking Dead Season Two by working on "that stupid Wolf game." However, once the game came out, people opened up to it and eventually held it near the same level as they held Walking Dead. Heck, the same thing is happening right now with Borderlands and Game of Thrones.
Minecraft certainly is an odd choice, no doubt, but it's not at all safe to assume that Minecraft will be awful without any evidence beyond "it has no story (by default)" or "it will attract kiddies to the forums."
Telltale announces Walking Dead:"Telltale should stick to (mostly) family friendly comedy games! Telltale is just going after the money from a big franchise! They don't personally care about the Walking Dead universe!"
Telltale reveals more information for Wolf Among Us after Walking Dead Season 1:"A fairy tale comic? How dumb. Telltale should stick to Walking Dead - it had a very sentimental and emotional story a lot of people put effort into! You can't recreate that with a comic about fairy tale characters!"
Telltale announces Tales from the Borderlands and Game of Thrones:"Borderlands has no story! That would never work! Game of Thrones? Telltale is just going after the money from a big franchise - not like Walking Dead, of course! Also, where is my Wolf Among Us Season 2?!? That was a great game!"
Telltale announces Minecraft Story Mode:"Minecraft has no story! That would never work! Telltale has no experience with family friendly comedy games and should stick to adult drama like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead! Also, where is my Tales from the Borderlands Episode 2? Episode 1 of Tales from the Borderlands was one of my favorite Telltale episodes this year and it also has really high reviews! While we're at it, seriously Telltale - any update on Wolf Among Us Season 2?!? That was a great game!"
I definitely heard about all that complaining except Game of Thrones. I did not here one person complaining about that before launch. Could have been I just didn't notice it.

No I'm pretty sure it was Minecraft. It was at a friends house and I tried it, it was awful, but it was the real deal.
Not bad actually.
I like the sound of a Wreck-It Ralph game by Telltale. I loved the movie.
yeah
and Big Hero too
Just found out an MC movie is in the works . I'm sure the kids will love it.

To be fair those games had story and lore to them. I'm not sure how they can make a story out of a game where all you do is dig and build.
Might want to rethink using a Jurassic Park quote to assuage concerns over the quality of a new Telltale game.
I'd like to see everyone's faces after they were proved wrong by a fucking Telltale Game.
It's happened before and it will probably continue to happen every damn time.
I would love for them to make that game

Grats man
Nope
IKR!!!! This is ridiculous...
Too late its filled premature idiots since Walking Dead
Maybe the choose it because it has no story,maybe they want to do something which is constrained by preexisting story for a change
Maybe because there is no chance that the owners of this IPs give away any control over it.
Its too late.Writting big is a sign of Brattness
If you care if some thing is "adult" (KillDrugSex) your aren't a adult
I think Whedon would want some input on a firefly game and i doubt he has the time for it.
Great TY for your input.
I don't care anymore. I moved on.
All responses will be ignored.
As if Disney would let a extern produce a game on their new shiny IP
Disney has their own gamestudio
Maybe influenced by the community means that they look at mods and youtube animations for inspiration
They should abbandon TWD because the constant cries for TWD are atleast as annoying as Minecraftkids
Wallace & Gromit is great too
Or just produce a game more suited for younger ones now and than,between their other games.
A cartoon rabit and dog aren't realistic,but they got lots of emotion out of Sam & Max
Stargate would have been nice for a Sci-Fi Telltale
For Example a bit more actual detective work would have worked nicely with TWAU
That would be probable too much IP negations for TellTale,first they must persuade Disney and than the owners of all the videogame characters.
But that Minecraft kids are annoying is a valid reason to demand that they abandon Minecraft Story mode?
Lol, I hope you realize that I was doing this during a mental breakdown so you deciding to insult me is funny.
Is this seriously what happens when Telltale starts a new series? The fuck, guys?
Yes, look back, it always happen.
Nah. That should be open world.
Yes it should...I would still love to see a Telltale version.
Indeed it does.
