Telltale at E3: Jurassic Park demoed, The Walking Dead described 08 Jun, 2011 / 7 comments

By Jason

As promised, both Jurassic Park and The Walking Dead were accounted for during Telltale's E3 presence. Naturally, there was considerably more to show off with regard to the Universal license, a non-playable demo of which was on display for attendees. Here's some video coverage of the presentation by G4, thrown to by a lady with seventy-five percent of a shirt.


In the case of The Walking Dead, Telltale didn't seem to have much more than some concept art and a bit of information on their two main characters, neither of which appear in the comics: an escaped convict named Lee Everett and seven-year-old girl he meets up with named Clementine. The best report I found on the project was this video interview with an unfamiliar Telltale face identified only as "Rich," which among other things touches a bit on how the games may connect with the source material:

Oh, and a according to IGN, Telltale will also be putting out a The Walking Dead Facebook game like they did with Back to the Future. Testing the waters for a more ambitious Facebook project in the future, perhaps?

    Well, crap. I had this idea a while ago for a series of novels about an ex convict wandering through a world overrun by zombies with two little girls, except you wouldn't know at first that he was a convict and you wouldn't find out until a couple novels in, and you wouldn't find out what he did until several novels in. But now I can't write it without it seeming derivative of this.

    That's an amusing screencap. He looks like he's saying, "It's about thiiiis big," or maybe showing the interviewer how to smoke a joint.

    That video jannar85 posted (there's a second part on youtube) actually made me rather excited about Jurassic Park! I'm not really interested in the type of gameplay offered there (Telltale Rich said in another youtube interview that Walking Dead will follow in JP's footsteps in evolving the gameplay of Telltale Games - I'll leave the speculation to you guys), but apart from that it actually looks pretty good. I'm sure a lot of people won't be satisfied by the graphics, but apart from some stiff animation here and there I think it looks fine. It's mostly the story that's appealing to me though. Really like what I've seen, and I'm really curious to see where it's going.

    And it's got dinosaurs.

    The unidentified guy is "senior marketing director" at Telltale. ;-)

    Is there a version of the Jurassic Park video that people outside of the US can watch?



    Would I let you down?
