Will Telltale signing with Marvel hurt TWD games?
I'm not sure if Telltale signing with Marvel, and producing a new game in 2017 will be good or bad for twd series. It could mean more money, and resources but it could also mean that twd takes a back seat to a "prettier" new game.
In my opinion based on the less interesting second season vs the first season I have my doubt that twd series will improve. Hopefully this won't be the case.

they shouldnt have more than 3 seasons of the game anyways, make way for new and let this one sit back
3? Seriously? They could have 10 no problem if they invest in character development, and not killing everyone off. TWD Lore is rich with story possibilities.
No, we aren't expecting anything about Marvel till 2017, TWD news is expected by the end of 2015 which makes a season 3 release in 2016 very likely. Though even if they release around the same time for some reason, I wouldn't expect either to affect eachother anyway.
What?! Of course not. We won't be seeing that Marvel Game until maybe late 2016 for screenshots, and The Walking Dead Season 3 should be early 2016.
I think in a sense everything Telltale is doing is moving them away from the Walking Dead after Season 3 wraps up.
Game of Thrones has multiple seasons confirmed, they have 2 Super Shows (with information about them yet to be announced), this Marvel game (which could be another one of their Super Shows, idk), an original IP, and Minecraft: Story Mode in a sense.
So yes and no. This Marvel game won't hurt Walking Dead Season 3 in particular, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just adding onto the things that show Season 3 is the last season of this game.
Season three of The Walking Dead won't be affected by Marvel at all. As people have pointed out, the Marvel game isn't scheduled to come out until 2017, and it's been confirmed that we'll be getting news about The Walking Dead: Season Three by the end of this year, which means that we'll be looking at a release of the first episode of the third season of The Walking Dead long before the Marvel game has even gone into full production.
However, if the third season of The Walking Dead is the last, or if there is a break of a few years between the third and fourth season, it's not because Telltale is interested in more money, it's because it's the way they've always done things. They never have done more than three or four seasons for their most lucrative franchises (Sam & Max got three and CSI got four).
Telltale has always liked to try new things, and to not rest on their laurels by doing the same thing for too long. However, it's also possible that they might do small projects for The Walking Dead after the seasons are over (like how Sam & Max are still being included in smaller one episode pilot program style games). They might also take a break for a few years and then come back to it at a later point (the third seasons of CSI and Sam & Max both came out with a few years break from the last season).
How long a series run continues, and how long it takes between season releases, all depends on whether they feel that they have a compelling story to tell in that world, and if they feel that they have enough ideas to push the series forward at any particular time (and whether the rights holder agrees with their ideas). And, of course, it also depends on how long they have the license to make games for any particular franchise.
I have to say that I find this disappointing. I know TellTale is a private company looking to make lots of games. However that kind of makes me less likely to buy their future games. I know that they will crank out a few games with impression that it's a type of franchise when in reality it's like a flavor of the month with no real commitment to games, or it's fans. This does however explain why they kill off so many characters. They don't have long term plans for the game series so no point in investing in said characters.
Job J Stauffer: Here at Telltale Games, we are dedicated to telling compelling stories and, a-and...oh god I can't take it! The temptation is too strong! Excuse me!
Job J Stauffer: First Marvel, and then, THE WORLD! Bwaha, BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
Seriously? Come on they said it won't be until 2017, that's over 2 years away. If they're still doing TWDG by then I doubt it'll be a problem anyways. They'll just....forget about Clemmy and TWDG in the grand scheme of things and focus on Hulk's green man boobs T_T
I figure it's meant to be a joke but still the ignorance of some Telltale fans bother me. As soon as another franchise comes into the picture, they feel the need to hate on it in same way just because they are worried it will impact their favorite game.
Hardly; that's just them being faithful to the source material. They can easily have characters stop appearing in other ways beyond dying if they aren't relevant to the plot.
Considering that Walking Dead had such a huge impact to the extent that all the newer Telltale titles are, gameplay wise, designed to have the exact same gameplay as Walking Dead? Nah, I doubt Telltale will so easily forget the contributions Walking Dead made for them.
It was a joke, I'm not hating on it o_O.
I do kinda wonder though how many more seasons of TWDG they'll do. They won't make seasons forever like the show
personally I hope they do a couple more.
Am i the only one here , who has zero interest in Hollywood super hero movies? I thought they partnered with Lion's gate, why not do a Saw Game based on the Saw Series, at least that would be interesting.
Well, technically investing isn't entirely the same as partnering - however, Telltale did say they someday might do a Lionsgate IP game anyways.
I dont see why it would, plus marvel like the majority of the new series I am more excited for , there is the odd one Im a bit.... less so
Thing is, if this was confirmed in the gap between season 1 and season 2, I would be concerned. In this gap between season 2 and 3, they are working on two franchises, one being based on a highly successful book and universally acclaimed TV series and the other being a gaming niche. They seem prepared to take on an increasing workload, which i'm extremely grateful for as it's produced TWAU which, even if there isn't a season 2, stands as a singular storytelling success. Add the promising GOT and TFTB to the mix and i'm more than confident they can balance the two in the long term.
As Blind Sniper said, if season 3 is to be the last season, it will be because they feel that they have drawn as much out of the universe and their adaptation as they can to give us a great story. However, I can't see that being the case this coming season.
Yes. Hello, a pessimist here.
Actually, Jennifer said that - not me.
Still, though, certainly a valid point!
We only need one Marvel game and this is it.

COME ON
Like I said in my other comment, I feel like Season 3 will be the last season of this game. The way they're expanding and with all their other products I find it hard to believe the series will continue in a Season 4. But eh, you never know.
Most likely not. Season 3 is scheduled for 2015 release and a 2016 finish. The Marvel game will most likely coincide with their original IP.
Actually they aren't sure if it will premiere in 2015, so it's possible it won't debut until 2016.
They aren't man boobs... THEY'RE PECS, BRUH! XD
So because Marvel releases later you think it won't have an effect? "We aren't done with TWD game yet."....... "Look just wrap up the damn thing. We have got to get started on the Marvel project on time"........ Yeah I can't possibly see Marvel causing problems for TWD
You seem to be under the impression that all of TellTale works on all of their games, which isn't true.
One topic you are talking about how they can't handle very large projects, the next topic you are. I think you're just trying to argue.
That response doesn't make sense because TellTale's projects aren't "large projects". They can handle the projects they do, otherwise they wouldn't do them. They have separate teams that work on their games. One won't affect the other.
Somehow, I doubt things are that simple. They will be done with Walking Dead: Season 3 way before the Marvel game starts.
lol nice fan fic
I'm referring to another topic I posted about having new people each season so it would allow real choices, and alternate endings. Your response was that telltale isn't a big enough company to take on a project like that. Now you're saying they can handle multiple games with no trouble.
" A 2015 article by Kotaku noted that "their games, wonderful in many ways as they may be, have been accompanied by an undercurrent of fan anger" over widespread bugs and glitches, and concluded that Telltale's support forums "paint a portrait of a publisher that is constantly releasing buggy and even outright broken games", without having the resources to fix or even address most of these problems"........ Does a company that has plenty of time to finish it's games have these kinds of problems?
Not a Wikipedia quote describing an editorial piece! Nooo!!!
Yes, they can. I don't understand what point you're trying to make here. I'm being consistent in what I'm saying. They don't have the people to make games with alternate paths. They split up their people into teams to work on separate games. If you don't like that, then that's your problem. It's what they do.
