Telltale Will Be Playing Dead Live at Pax Prime 05 Aug, 2012 / 4 comments

By Jennifer

Telltale is going to be at PAX Prime again this year. They haven't revealed any of their PAX plans yet (hopefully Fables will be shown off, as it is scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2012, although it remains to be seen if The Walking Dead's delays will affect the release window - oh and at least a little bit of information on Telltale's King's Quest would be nice too).

But, Telltale did announce that they will be filming an episode of their Playing Dead video series on the making of their The Walking Dead game live at Pax. Audience members will be able to ask questions direct to the game's project leaders, Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman, as well as story consultant Gary Whitta (writer of post-apocalypse movie The Book of Eli and the upcoming blockbuster After-Earth). For more information about what Playing Dead Live will cover, check out Telltale's blog post about it.

While we're on the subject of zombies, I should mention the Humble Music Bundle, which includes the excellent Zombie related song Re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton (as well as 13 other songs by him), a rarity album by They Might Be Giants that includes the 200 sbemails song from Homestar Runner's Strong Bad Emails in which TMBG voiced The Poopsmith in a rare silence breaking moment. It also includes decidedly not Mojo related music (but still worth buying) by MC Frontalot, Christopher Tin, and Hitoshi Sakimoto (the best of the Valkyria Chronicles). If you spend more than the average you will also get 12 remixes of 4 OK Go songs (the average is currently just over $8.25 US).

    I'm afraid The Walking Dead (and its novel gameplay) is so successful, they don't feel the need to revisit the good old adventure days of Sam&Max, Monkey Island and King's Quest.



    That's the same feeling I have.

    Apparently a sequel to TOMI is out of the question



    Now LA has a new president, maybe there's some chance to get the rights again.

    A bit of comms around the release schedule for The Walking Dead would be good too.
    I've been loving it so far, but I reckon TTG is letting themselves down by not being a bit more open about when we can get the next fix installment.

    Indeed, any update on the licenses (Fables & King's Quest) Telltale announced over a year ago would be nice. Apparently a sequel to TOMI is out of the question, but what about Sam&Max? I'm afraid The Walking Dead (and its novel gameplay) is so successful, they don't feel the need to revisit the good old adventure days of Sam&Max, Monkey Island and King's Quest.
