Telltale Games, creators of the Sam & Max episodic adventure games, have announced a Wallace & Gromit game. Awesome.
You can see the trailer and some screenshots on their site.
I think it’s a great idea — the look and feel of Aardman’s animation fit perfectly into an adventure game, and the screenshots appear to have captured that style perfectly. Who wouldn’t want to run around in a Wallace & Gromit film? I certainly wouldn’t not!

Is it true that guys who get the first comment piss you off?

Still waiting for that Homestar Runner game.

Gromit! We’ve forgotten the crackers!
I might get it, depending on how good reviews are.

Can’t wait for it!

I wonder how they are doing, monetarily, off of Sam and Max. I know it’s critically acclaimed and all that, but so was ‘Good And Evil’, ‘Rez’, and ‘Psychonauts’.
Uhm… also. Damn, they make a Wallace and Gromit game, but don’t re-issue CLAY FIGHTER?! WTF!?

They can reuse the engine to make a Kiln People game, too.

These are the wrong trousers!
I honestly think that if anyone can successfully pull of a good Wallace and Gromit game, it’s Telltale. They have the power!

My faith in the internet has been restored.

Telltale mentioned a couple months ago that they’d sold over 500,000 Sam & Max episodes between the two seasons. Do the math and you get somewhere between 3 and 4 million bucks, depending on how heavily you weigh individual episode sales against season packages. Not a smash success, but certainly well above what any other adventure game is bringing in these days, and clearly more than enough to keep the company going strong. They also picked up six million in investor funding a year ago, which is presumably why they’re now in various stages of development for three series instead of one.
Can’t wait for Wallace & Gromit, at any rate. Or H*R. Or Sam & Max Season Three.

I wouldn’t not neither refuse to do that.
The announcement on RPS got me watching W&G clips on the official site all morning.

Thanks Sciz.
No thanks to Gordon Frohman, who apparently has no super x-ray automagical insight into the financial statements of any arbitrary gaming company I’m curious about.
For shame.

The website makes me hopeful that this’ll be brilliant. It looks like they completely ‘get’ W&G.

All right! I remember watching Wallace & Gromit in Elementary School. I also watched the movie. I can’t wait.

W&G are the stuff of my childhood.
