Telltale doing Wallace & Gromit games News

PC News by Robert Purchese

25 July, 2008

Telltale Games, famed for the Sam & Max adventure series, will be shaping Wallace & Gromit into a batch of episodic games.

You'll be able to play as either of the cheese-loving but ultimately helpful and sometimes inventive duo, and Telltale is working hard to retain the clay-moulded stop-motion animation look.

The idea is to have lots of physical and spur of the moment comedy, similar to the many animated films, plus plenty of quirky contraptions and money-making schemes to explore.

"We feel like the gameplay should be more of an experience. You should be able to interact with the other characters and really feel like you're in the world of Wallace & Gromit," Dan Connors, Telltale boss, told the Associated Press.

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures will be dished out in a similar fashion to Sam & Max which, if you remember, arrived promptly, cheaply and fairly admirably.

There are no details on platforms or dates just yet - perhaps the penguin-chicken has them. The Telltale website promises more information on Monday.

It could be great but...hope they don't try to force the comedy too much like with Sam & Max. Would be great if Nick Park was involved in the writing for it.

I'm actually worried. Since Nick is working on 'W&G: Matter of Loaf and Death', I don't think he's involved with this game at all...

I hope he is, maybe he wrote it ages ago.. this could be pure brilliance or an absolute disaster.

Telltale are great and making cheap and cheerful games with a sense of humour, so this is yet another great licence for them to exploit.

I won't lie. I've had some serious issues with TTG's output, but I believe that with every episode they realease they are learning a lot, and that's why I trust them with both Strong Bad and this. They're not the sort of comany that makes the same mistake over and over, they listen and improve, and because of their episodic nature they can do so much faster than other developers.

Strong Bad looks great, this has potential and I suspect that after a brief hiatus, sam and max will be back with a much-needed reset or semi-reset to clear away some of the baggage that is currently weighing down 2 seasons worth of content.
