Not really IMO. Telltale has expanded a lot and hired so many new people, and alongside their new partnerships they have the resources to juggle what they're doing.
1st: What the hell does IMO mean?
2nd: I just dont want Tales from the borderlands to be delayed another 100 times
Tales From the Borderlands and Game of Thrones have separate teams, one game doesn't affect the other in anyway.
Both Minecraft and TWD S3 are only in the development stages, with Minecraft only being a little further along than TWD, where only a few people are working on it. As TFTBL and GOT reach their final episodes and wrap up production, people from those projects will move over to those games.
The Marvel game won't be coming out until 2017, that's 2 years away.
We really don't have any news on the super show, so we don't know when that's coming out, but I'm sure, like TWD and Minecraft, it's only in the development stages.
Lastly, Telltale is constantly hiring and expanding. This added workforce will alleviate some of the pressure as some will work on one game and others will work on another.
In all honesty, there's nothing to worry about.
What Special Episode? You mean the Super Shows? Those are two different series.
Oh, please.
Telltale is currently majorly working on what we have now, that being GOT and TFTBL. From time to time, later games, such as MC: Story Mode and TWDG S3 are slowly worked on as well.
I think Telltale knows how to run their own business.
Apart from garbage Minecraft I don't agree
All very great franchises and they did a great job with all of them so far
Minecraft is a waste of resources though that much is clear
I don't think they have too much on their plate per say, but I wish they would focus more on a select few things to be the face of their franchise rather than jumping from story to story, universe to universe. In complete honesty, I would actually love for Telltale to focus solely on The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us... though it looks as if TWAU is unlikely to be continued.
You know that because...?
what the hell is "bluh"???
And we still don't know which of these is the mysterious project "FTFS", or if that's something different.
Keep in mind that Telltale is not working on all these things all at once. It's helpful to have a backlog so the employees and investors know there's work in the future.
This concern comes up all the time, and has since at least the time when Telltale got the Universal licenses. Back then, they had 80 employees, and had seven games announced, and they managed to get those games out the door (and one of those games was The Walking Dead, which is where most of the modern fans came from, so I think most people would agree that the other games didn't affect that game's quality). They have 240 employees now, so the question on whether they can handle seven different projects is even less of a concern then it was then.
The thing to remember with these projects is that even though Telltale announces their projects ahead of time, this doesn't mean that each game is in full production. All games by Telltale Games are first started with a small team of just a few people, who do things common in very early development, such as sorting out the season wide story and working on concept art. As the deadline nears, more people are brought in to work on other things, but it is still a small team. Full production doesn't start until the current seasons wrap up, and seasons that are announced years in advance won't begin full production until long after that. The currently ongoing series also don't affect each other, as different teams are working on each project. Even in the case of shared staff, the work load is light enough for these staff members, that their working between projects doesn't have any affect on the quality or development time of either project.
Marvel is along way away, Tales and GoT are right now, and Minecraft is later along with super show, and Season 3 may not even be until 2016 Im sure they can handle it
You used to say TFTB was a waste of resources, the least you could do is try to reserve your judgement until we see something concrete.
I just added a new "Future of Telltale Unofficial FAQ" sticky to Telltale Talk to clear up some misconceptions. As Jennifer already elaborated upon, Telltale is not working on all of these projects at once. Even for the projects they already are working on, they do not have full sized teams, and they typically don't either until Telltale's current live projects are wrapped up.
It's just an assumption.
It could be that they are working all at once, but I wouldn't know, I don't work for Telltale :P
I think Telltale can handle whatever they work on. The Marvel and Minecraft games, as far as I know, are slated to be released far in the future, so they probably aren't even being 'properly' worked on yet.
As for Tales from the Borderlands, I kind of see your point. I was surprised that the gap between the episodes was so big. Perhaps they just need more time to work on the episodes than they previously thought.
Actually the Minecraft game was announced to be coming out this year.
1st: In my opinion
2nd: It won't
Who tells a company to stop working on stuff? Only gamers lol
I would hate that. I enjoy Tales and Game of thrones too.
Yeah I'm in agreement with KCohere, Telltale shouldn't focus solely on two franchises, especially since Tales and Thrones are great (with TFTB being my favorite Telltale series so far, even though it only has two episodes out currently).
You seriously need to stop with these kinds of comments.
Exactly what was said back when they were working on TWAU And TWD S2 and look at how many problems those games had.
Do you know the difference between having something announced and actually putting resources towards it? Because anytime I see people say things like this, it shows me they don't understand how game companies work.
I personally wouldn't go so far as to call them great, but to each their own I guess. I find them to be decent enough, but I definitely do not enjoy them nearly as much as I did TWD and TWAU. I understand that Telltale wants to draw in more fans, and they've never really exclusively stuck within a couple of stories/universes, but I would personally prefer that they did. I want to find out more about TWAU, and obviously TWD can be a great basis for a story/game. I'm all for further developing those particular games, and Telltale's apparent agenda of wanting to bounce from project to project to project doesn't appeal to me as a fan of said games.
never lose faith senor taco
For something to be delayed, it would've had to actually have a scheduled release date.
They only suffered really big problems in your opinion, as you've felt the need to share multiple times on these forums. Imo both games were fine and did not have a lot of problems.
I would hate that too. I understand everyone has their own opinions but a lot of people are invested in Telltale's newer games, with Game of Thrones being my current personal favorite Telltale series. So yeah, even if I love Walking Dead and Wolf it wouldn't be fair at all for their other games and its fans.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, people said Telltale should've only focused on Walking Dead back when Wolf Among Us was close to releasing. People were, for whatever reason, borderline enraged that another game coexisted with Walking Dead before it came out. However, as the series progressed, more people came around and ended up liking it. I'm actually fine with Telltale bouncing around from series to series, as long as it doesn't affect the quality of their games or writing.
Replace it with the Super Show, then, I guess. :P
I'm not really saying what Telltale should do or should not do, only giving my opinion on what I would personally prefer (not to split hairs or anything, just wanted to clarify). Of course they could end up creating something that I enjoy just as much as I did TWD and TWAU, but seeing as I already know and love what they did with those games, I would prefer them to stay focused in that realm instead of having the mindset of jumping all over the map. A lot of fans are seemingly pretty happy with the plethora of different stories, and that's fine. It's simply not what I prefer.
Perhaps it would be unfair to the other games that they have done work on if they were to just hone in on a select few to be the face of their franchise, but ultimately I don't think it would be a bad move for Telltale to make. I'm not even necessarily saying what games they should choose to completely put their focus on, only saying that I would prefer them to handle things in that sort of way opposed to wanting to move from story to story to story. Obviously it's unlikely to happen as Telltale has never really operated in that fashion. Again, just stating personal preference here.

@Clem_is_awesome your comment was eaten but here
If you're gonna feel the need to insult people who don't have the same opinion as you, then I see no point in arguing. You wanna be rude and hate on Telltale and everyone else who enjoyed a couple of games you didn't, then go ahead. It just shows what kind of person you are.
