I feel like the presence of comedy also mitigates a lot of the complaints with the format of Telltale games. Like, if a certain decision doesn't affect the plot one way or the other, but leads to a really funny joke (blow his mind), it's fine, because you got a really funny joke out of it.

Telltale releases the first images from their Guardians of the Galaxy series.

These visuals are a definite improvement for Telltale fare. Now I just need to know if the Tales from the Borderlands writers are on it so I know whether to give them all my money day 1.

In other news, during a livestream the other day a Marvel executive on the game side claimed that the PS4 Spider-Man game is going to come out this year. I'm still doubtful seeing as the only thing they've shown for it was a short E3 trailer from last year.

Insomniac has since confirmed that there is no release window set yet.

The fact that it shares any bodes well. I'll wait until episode 2 to see. Ever since Borderlands, I've wanted Telltale to do comedy more since I think they're really good at it and it's a shame they've only really done one since switching to their modern model.

Nah, what really messed things up is that Asylum clearly takes place in an "established" universe, specifically one that was heavily based on BTAS but incorporated some comic book stuff as well, because they correctly identified that that's much more fun and conducive to a game about the inmates running the asylum than giving a bunch of villains' origins, but then City and obviously Origins decided they wanted some of that sweet sweet "first appearance of" cheddar and completely hosed things up.

Origins should have been set further in the past, because ol' Bruce goes through three Robins and a Batgirl in the course of 10 years and that's not a good look.

The story feels comic books in all the right ways, as opposed to something like Arkham Knight, which is comic books in all the worst ways.

An interview with some devs on MvC:I, where they discuss such subjects as

"What's up with Chun-Li's faaaaaaace?"

quote:

Are you guys gonna look at that again, given the widespread negative response?

Michael Evans: Yes. Well when put that way, I say, I never wanted to look at it again. It's super--no, okay. It is disgusting. [Said jokingly] Of course we will look at it again. We're gonna look at it. Can't promise anything right now, but we want to make our fans happy, man. We're not an evil overlord company, despite the rumors. We do want to make our fans happy. Can't promise anything. We'll look into it. I believe Ono already said something about that.

[Michael's quote, "I never wanted to look at it again. It's super--no, okay. It is disgusting," was said in jest, which doesn't quite carry through into a written transcript.]

"What about the X-Men?"

quote:

Then the third one is obviously the popularity of these characters. X was one we had to get in there. A lot of fans wanted to see X, so we brought him back. Then also we talked with Marvel very closely about their future roadmap, about what's gonna be happening. Your modern Marvel fan, maybe they don't even remember some of the X-Men characters, but they know some of the Guardians characters or Black Panther.

(Translation: We can't just out and say that Marvel doesn't want us to push mutants so we have to pretend that people don't know who the X-Men are.)

"Hey, how about Skullomania?"

quote:

Peter Rosas: It just baffles me to this day. Why does anybody like that dude?

The Question IRL posted:

The thing is the X-Men have re-appeared in the MOBA game Future Fight. And it looks like they'll appear in Avengers Academy.

I think that Marvel are slowly starting to allow the X-Men back into some of their multi platform media. On that basis you could probably come up with a better line for why they aren't in Marvel vs Capcom. (That the time isn't right for them, or at the start of the development cycle they weren't a priority. But now might be.)

You could even just say "Marvel wants to focus more on heroes appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe"

Apparently Telltale has also announced a season 2 of The Wolf Among Us. Which is pretty weird seeing as its been a while since the first game.

It's also double weird since like the day before, they said that they had no plans to continue TWAU anytime soon.

The photo in the tweet with calling him John Doe and not saying who the rivalry is with is exactly why it's so loving stupid.

I think they were saying that because Batman doesn't know who the guy is in the game, being his early adventures, so he goes by John Doe for most of it. They're assuming you'll get it's Joker by context.

Apparently the game itself is not bad, aside from the underwhelming roster and it being generally ugly as sin.

The choice to focus on MCU characters makes business sense seeing as the MCU is the face of Marvel now, but it's disappointing since so many cool characters have been introduced or given new life in the comics since 3.
