i dont wanna watch because of spoilers but does it mention a release date? or does anyone know?

WeskerChildReborned4362d ago

Suppose to be every month according to Wikipedia but on the game, they say other dates like going towards november.

falcon2624362d ago

The spoiler is only for episode 1. Go ahead and watch.

GCFOX4363d ago

No exact date for episode 2 at best as all they shared was "coming soon"

TheDareDevil4362d ago

IT's been over a month since the release of the first episode. I really want to play part 2, I don't know why they can't do it sooner though, cause it's pretty clear that the game is complete.

HacSawJimThugin4362d ago

I'm starting to get pissed because they aren't keeping their word at TellTale. Why promise what you can't deliver...Devs like this make me sic. Don't say that the episodes will be released monthly and become a no show at the deadline. Coming soon doesn't mean shit, give a date and stick to it.

WitWolfy4361d ago

No need to get upset towards TTG, I've bought all their games except Jurassic Park, and im more than happy to wait for episode 2. If it takes longer then so be it

B_Rian894362d ago

i'm starting to feel the same way. By the time episode 2 gets here I might not even care about it anymore.

Sadly, this is Deja vu, with Telltale going through this type of thing before in 2018 - thoughts are with those affected. Games companies and all sectors always follow each other, with the bad press reducing as each new announcement is made - sad times we live in.

How Supermassive Games Is Repeating Telltale's Mistakes

Supermassive Games has failed to innovate since its breakout hit Until Dawn and its games are getting more stale, something that sadly echoes Telltale Games' downfall.

Trash article. More jaded commentary from individuals that play so much of something, they get pulled out of the very thing they liked before. Or think everyone is as jaded as them with the genre. Thing is, the developer wouldn't be making these games if they didn't think there was an audience. And, they are not in financial trouble as Tell Tale was. Try again.

Critiquing is fine as we want developers like Super Massive to stay the course of making good games. Especially after rushing games out too quickly after their break out hit. But to go on and say they are on a decline when the very game they just released was received well by the gaming community is jumping the gun. Not only that, but Until Dawn: Rush of Blood was a hit on PSVR fool. Not everyone gets nausea from VR.

Not only that, but the ignorant opinion that Quantic Dreams has declined when Detroit: Become Human is a great game for its genre, was received well by gamers and sold well, speaks volumes about this person's opinion.

Tell Tale's biggest mistake was attaching their works to huge existing IP that requires big royalties. They didn't invest in bringing new ways to interreact with their games or even improvements to graphics/mo-cap.

Supermassive is the complete opposite. Their games are completely original works, they own their own titles, there is a level of exploration in their games and the graphics continue to be worth a look.

Notellin688d ago

Agreed. This article is complete garbage. The games it compares The Quarry to are hardly competitors and nowhere in the league of the game.

Knushwood Butt687d ago

I need to play Rush of Blood again.

Bobertt688d ago (Edited 688d ago )

These type of games are about the choices and the story. Some of the later releases may have faltered in those areas making them not as good as the original. But i don't see how this author wants them to innovate. It just seems like the author wants to play a different genre. What they need to do is come up with better stories and choices.

SyntheticForm688d ago

Currently playing TQ and have no complaints. Really enjoying it. Hats off.

StarkR3ality688d ago

The reason that telltale fell into financial ruin was the amount of money they had to pay out for the big License fees. Batman, Borderlands, walking dead, they had to pay through the nose to get rights to use them. Supermassive don't have that problem, although I would love them to do a Nightmare on Elm street, Friday the 13th or Halloween game, the rights to those properties would likely be too much to warrant the cost.

MadLad688d ago

Dumb, uninformed take.
Telltale went under due to, mainly, piss poor management. They grew the team way too big, and took on way too many projects at one time; stretching the key talent far too thin.
Then constant crunch pushed much of said key talent to move onto other studios.
Tied into the fact they kept utilizing antiquated tech instead of moving onto a new, modern engine.

None of this applies to Supermassive, thus a pointless and uninformed article we have here.
