Telltale's inexorable journey to becoming Skynet reaches its next phase.
Episodic game maker Telltale Games has cut a deal with Lionsgate Entertainment for an unspecified sum that will see the San Rafael-based studio start making episodic TV/game "Super Shows," starting with an original Telltale Games property.
As part of the deal, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer and newly-minted Unity CEO John Riccitiello will join Telltale's board of directors.

the last photorealistic attempt game was probably CSI or Law & Order.
CSI is as photorealistic as Game of Thrones, but yes, those come the closest.
Law & Order had a distinctly cel-shaded look, as I recall.
I can foresee the cheesy commercials:
"Just click here and there once in a while and watch the story go depending on your decisions! That's right! Choose when to click and beware: if you don't click on time, the game will remember this important decision and react consequently! Welcome to the future!"
I see a lot of people moaning about the engine (though I don't have a problem with it, I think it manifests more on mobile platforms), I wonder if this new partnership will also bring on some upgraded tech that will allow for more photorealistic models. I does seem the stylised graphics work better in their current engine, though the last photorealistic attempt game was probably CSI or Law & Order.
