Telltale's new poker game up for pre-order 03 Sep, 2010 / 6 comments

By jp-30

Telltale have released more details of their 'crossover game', by adding the title to their store for pre-order.

Poker Night at the Inventory

Prepare for a different kind of poker night in a very different kind of club. In Poker Night at the Inventory, you'll deal with Penny Arcade's clever, cunning Tycho, Team Fortress 2's hulking Heavy, Homestar Runner's self-proclaimed "awesome icon" Strong Bad and the hyperkinetic "rabbity-thing" from Sam & Max. These characters come together in ways some never thought possible, in a setting few would have predicted. You'll experience a new style of poker, particularly when hands don't go the way of the other fiery competitors at the table.

Expect more details to be released soon...

Update: Some screenshots are up at Steam. Also, amazing promotional poster by Chuck BB.

    Here's a background showing the four main characters. Tycho looks incredible.

    You're right! I don't see any signs of faceting in any of the characters. I wonder if they're doing hardware tessellation or something. That'd be weird - a casual game with dx11 support.

    Anyway, preordered. Woohoo!

    I think Telltale's site is being hit hard again (not surprising seeing there are 3 additional franchise fanbases interested in this game). I can't get in.

    Intriguing - a quality enhanced by the price point.

    Ah, poker. Mm. We'll see. I was hoping for something weird and new and original, like a (for some reason) RPG-blended-with-adventue-game with these guys. I'd have liked pure adventure. Oh well. Could be poker with a twist. The description certainly makes it sound that way. I'll put this on "to watch".
