Batman: The Telltale Series

[Gamma Goliath]

I can easily see a han solo tell tale game.

 

[Brother Jack]

Man, I would kill for a Star Wars Telltale game. But out of that list, Superman is the one who probably deserves it most. He's arguably never had a good game, at least not in the 3D era, and Telltale's writing prowess would hopefully be able to do him justice. Lord knows there's been a short supply of that.

wow, how ironic bc I was JUST thinking that Star Wars would be perfect for this yesterday. Too bad it aint happening bc EA has exclusive use of the license

I liked the Telltale Batman as much as anything ever produced for the character. A Telltale Superman game would be great because it's all influenced by decision making. That's how they get around the 'too powerful' complaints.

 

[Jick]

Exactly that^.
Superman would be perfect for Telltale, granted I didn't play Batman but I trust you guys' judgment.
Also, I believe it's easier than Batman to take Superman to bad places making wrong decisions, since there's a precedent for that.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Just finished this yesterday. Really interesting, especially the "secret history of the Waynes" aspect. I keep thinking there would be a later reveal where Thomas Wayne hadn't actually done anything wrong and it didn't happen. I'm impressed. This is how you get away with changes to the lore. You craft a compelling story with well rounded characters at the center of it.

Bring on season 2.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Really want to see them do a Superman game.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Superman has never had a good video game. Even in Injustice where he's protagonist/deuteroganist it's a tyrannical Elseworld version.

I would love a Telltale Superman game. A celebration of everything that makes the character great. From Krypton to Smallville, Lois to Lana, the Daily Planet to the Fortress of Solitude and back to the Ace o' Clubs.

I want to play as both mild mannered Clark Kent the Daily Planet muck-raker and Superman, the Last Son of Krypton. Even if it's mostly text based and QTEs. People underestimate how much a good or great game can do for a character. The Arkham Series has kept Batman fans sated in between Bale and Affleck and has only served to increase his popularity (it also did wonders for Deathstroke and Red Hood).

I think Supes fans really deserve a great game. Mostly because we've never gotten one.

 

[Havok83]

I thought the Death and Return of Superman was good as was Justice League Heroes

 

[Travesty]

I thought the Death and Return of Superman was good as was Justice League Heroes

Agreed. Plus, the Injustice games.

 

[James]

Also, I believe it's easier than Batman to take Superman to bad places making wrong decisions, since there's a precedent for that.

I don't agree with this at all. Not that there haven't been 'bad' versions of Superman, but there's a far larger history of Batman being dark and murderous than there is Superman.

That being said, it's the beauty of the Telltale type game is that it doesn't really matter what's come before. You can choose which version you play as or how brutal you want to get -I preferred playing as a non-killing Batman, but I appreciated the fact Telltale offered the choice to go either way.

 

[Jick]

That's fair.
I'm basing myself more on recent history, where it has worked for Superman turning dark in a more interesting way than Batman doing so, since Superman is usually the symbol of hope, the light, the boy scout, always so polite.

Batman is usually in a dark place so I find the change for him doesn't feel as abrupt and compelling as it is for Supes.

 

[AnneFan]

I thought the Death and Return of Superman was good as was Justice League Heroes

And flying around as Superman in an open map was fun during Lego Batman 2.

 

[godisawesome]

A Telltale Superman game would also circumvent a lot of the issues people have with different interpretations of Superman. They don't have to pick between "Clark is real" or "Superman is real" or anything like that; they can just have the player choose.

Considering just how angrily some fans disagree with different takes on Superman, Telltale might be able to make the only narrative they can all follow without whining about.

Are you given the choice to kill in this game? I remember seeing choices to be more violent and tortuous, but not going all the way with it.

No option to kill. But indeed, you could really bash people up if you wanted, which made Batman to be thought of more negatively.

 

[James]

I thought you could impale Falcone at the Skyline club once you catch to him? Maybe he doesn't die from it, I didn't take that option but it seemed pretty murderous.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It just darkens Batman's shine on Gotham.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

The Falcone choice amounts to "Hero to Gotham" or "Monster to Criminals".

Batman and Guardians Telltale Games To Come To Nintendo Switch

9 hours ago |

March 16, 2017

It looks like there’s a little ray of sunshine for gamers who’ve bought the Nintendo Switch.
Despite all of the reports saying that Nintendo’s newest console has had glitches and that heavy games like Dragon Quest are too large for the Switch’s native memory, it seems like the company is getting more games to jump on board, specifically the popular ones from Telltale Games.
According to a report by Gamespot, Nintendo Switch versions of Batman and Guardians of the Galaxy Telltale games have reportedly been leaked. A number of retailers have apparently listed down the two episodic games for Switch despite the fact that Telltale has not rolled out any official announcement regarding the matter.
365games from UK and GameBUy from Russia have listed down physical copies of Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman Telltale videogames are being made available in the format of Nintendo’s newest console. Meanwhile Newegg, a retailer from the US already has a product page for Guardians of the Galaxy.
The publication asked Telltale for a comment regarding the matter, and the answer is:
"Guardians of the Galaxy is slated to premiere digitally in 2017 on consoles, PC, and mobile devices,"
The representative however did not comment on Batman coming to Nintendo Switch. Like Switch, though Batman received generally positive reviews from gamers, it was also criticized for its technical issues. Telltale just might be fixing the game before they send it out to Switch.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series is to premiere digitally on consoles, PC, and mobile devices this spring.

Just started playing this game and finished episode 3

Great game! Never thought that playing as Bruce Wayne would be interesting. This game is sort of like a series with a really good story

 

[Kane52630]

It's pretty much playing a Batman Netflix series.

thats how all TTG games are framed. Whether the story is good ends up being debatable

Yes, that's a shame.

Yes it could work well for Supes. And he's a character who it can be difficult to make games for.
