  • The trailer show us a lot, yet didn't properly told us what the story is about. I think this is a teaser trailer and a lot of things can still change by the time the final product is out.

  • And also brought to u by dojo the russian's dojo? Do u wanna learn russian kong fu is less then a day goto to dojo's russian dojo by the end of the day u will be drinking vodka and kicking thugs with drop kicks before ya know it

    This speech of the day was brought to you by Lehfeels. Lehfeels, he feels the feels.

  • This could be like what happened with the Tales from the Borderlands Episode 2 trailer, in which the trailer tries to look serious even though the series overall is light-hearted. I'm going to guess that the game, although light-hearted, will have trailers that make the game look more serious in order to make the younger Minecraft fans more interested in the game.

  • I have never seen Telltale video get a 4000/4000 like to dislike ratio.

    You're right about no 50/50 like/dislike ratio, but pinball was so bad (I think 10/90) that they removed the like and dislike bar IIRC.

    Hmm, I don't know. I was right that Telltale made a story that they could've easily made an entirely different world for instead of using Mi

  • Whew, that pinball one though.

  • Well, the Tales from the Borderlands first trailer completely changed my mind towards the idea, and made me want to buy it right away

    @revec well trailers usually never do any movie or game the justice it deserves most of the time

    You mean the one that came out when it was announced?

  • No, not the first one. The first gameplay trailer of what the game would actually be that came out about a week before it was released.

  • Well all the trailers for TFTB indicated that it will be a funny game with comedy at the core of it. For this its not clear, if its funny then I can live with the "minecraft graphics" TTG did a good job of replicating them but I hate those graphics. From the trailer its clear that the minecraft world is in danger and you are the hero that will save it so it exactly like the lego movie just without humor so far as we saw.

  • I love that trailer. <3

  • Still not interested and probably not buying , but the fact that Patton Oswalt is voicing the protagonist is pretty awesome.

  • I'm confused by the negativity, I think this has the potential to be great!

    And I've never played Minecraft.

  • i cant believe i didnt notice that was ashley johnson at the beginning....

  • honestly this game looks awesome to me, was hesitant at first but i am sold now.

  • Hopefully they move towards Life is Strange

    Dear God no, Telltale, whatever you do, stay away from becoming anything like Life is Strange.

    I thought the trailer was pretty good, they've had better trailers, but it seems interesting. Nice to hear Dave Fennoy in this game, along with Scott Porter and Ashley Johnson, and I think Patton Oswald can do a very good job with this, so yeah, I'm kind of looking forward to this now.

  • Trailer did it's job by giving us a basic intro to the story, showing art-style, introducing the main characters etc. I also think that it was a positive trailer, and didn't do any harm to the prospects of the game. Hoping that it won't be targeted heavily to younger demographics, and the trailer seemed to reinforce that

  • But if you look at the negative comments for the trailer, you can see why people have disliked it. A lot of people wanted TWAU S2 instead, a lot of people just dislike Telltale's style and other's just think it will become purely childish. And they do seem to be using a lot of Minecraft stuff, since there looks to be four different "classes" based on Minecraft playstyles. They may even borrow Minecraft mechanics too

  • Could be part of early development. Maybe it'll change later on so they don't spoil the interface.

    So what do you think the weird glowing around this is? I'm certain it's not plot related and has something to do with combat.

  • I was kinda worried about what they were going to do story wise but now I'm ok with it. It looks really interesting and it reminds me of stories in adventure maps.

    One thing I'm worried about though, they went to the Nether without any armour... they're so screwed.

  • Yeah, I read the comments, I laughed at some and facepalmed at others. Over all, some people have legitimate points, others don't.

  • Hope I wasn't the only who started tearing up at Dave's/Lee's voice. :P If I have the money, I'm definitely getting it.

  • I found the trailer pretty underwhelming compared to other announcement trailers to be honest. Doesn't mean I wont get it, but I'm holding off from making it a sure purchase until I see a bit more. Maybe it's just not for me

  • If it was a teaser trailer I'm sure it wouldn't be over a minute long and wouldn't show all that they showed. Looks more like TWAU world premiere trailer that they released in August 2013, so with my assumption I'm going to go ahead and guess that we'll be getting the game early fall since Wolf premiered in October. The game actually looks pretty ready.

  • Bravo Telltale! I knew you could Pull it off! It looks god damn amazing! I have to say, Keeping the original Animation style was a Bit of a Bad idea in my Opinion, But holy shit does it look cool. I'm gonna give my welcoming, and Assume it'll be up there with the Greats Like Sam & Max, The Walking Dead, and Even Tales From The Borderlands!

  • One thing I'm worried about though, they went to the Nether without any armour... they're so screwed.

    Yeah... I went to the Nether once without Armor... Let's just say Ghasts really like me apparently...

  • I like Life is Strange but I would never wanted Telltale to make their games that way. Their games are unique and if they did something like @Clord suggesting those game would lose their uniqness.

  • Yeah, Ghasts are my best friends... They follow me around and play catch with me... And kill me... So many fun times. :P

  • I knew you would come around. Everyone does. Telltale tends to have that affect on people.

    It would have been better if it had the graphics like those of fan-made animations. But the trailer convinced me to buy the game.

  • man i like life is strange

    but i agree telltale mixing their episodic formula with that episodic formula is a recipe for disaster.

  • Minecraft did make up of my early teen years.

  • I don't really know how to feel about this, I know it's telltale, so they can tell a pretty good story, however I can't take it seriously, because it's MINECRAFT for god's sake!
