Popular Post Parker Posted March 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2016 Batman: A Telltale Game Series will see a "very much upgraded" version of the engine used in all of the Californian studio's games. Speaking at the South by Southwest panel during which the first details of the new series were revealed, Telltale co-founder Kevin Bruner said: "We've got a whole lot of new technology that's going in that you'll start to see in Batman, and Telltale games going forward [...] We have a bunch of new engineers that have been working on rendering technology - non-photorealistic rendering technology [...] but it's really cool, very much upgraded from the kinds of things that you've seen from Telltale in the past [...] It's still a Telltale game, so it'll be evolved from what you've seen before, but I think a more significant step than you've seen from any of our products in the past." First Telltale Batman Details Revealed - IGN News 00:59 It's heartening news for Telltale fans - the studio's engine has been a consistent point of criticism for many years. Telltale's Batman series will tell a new story, unconnected to any existing Batman franchise, and include sections where the player controls both Bruce Wayne and Batman. The first episode will arrive this summer. Source: IGN This is fantastic news. I have enjoyed the Telltale games that I've played but there is really no excuse for them to run as poorly as they do, especially on the PlayStation 4. This makes me look forward to their Batman series even more. Parker 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me look forward to their Batman series even more. Parker I knew it would be worth it. Batman is a very huge IP and I couldn't imagine TT not doing anything but big with it.

AlphaTrash Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 About bloody time. This is great news. Still gonna buy their games when they're on sale though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon13 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Glad to hear. I know it's a long shot, especially given the very "comic book-esque" artistic style they deploy for most, if not all, of their properties... but how great would it be to get a Walking Dead Season Three with Quantic Dream level of production quality. I'm sure that'd require more than a modified version of their current engine, but a boy can dream. If nothing else, hopefully their games from here on in run better, at the very least.

Dead Weight Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The newer games ( Borderlands and Game of Thrones ) ran terribly on PS3, so many problems. The two games I played on PS4 played much better but it's good to see that they're improving the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 About frigging time. I'll await to hear more. Hopefully it runs well. And can they please get on with The Walking Dead S3? After that incredible ending I really want to see what happens next with Clem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 "The studio's engine has been a consistent point of criticism for many years." Now that's an understatement if i ever saw one. Good to see that they're finally doing something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the digital copy was better, but my physical copy was almost impossible to play with. It took so long to read from the disc that scenes were over before they even finished loading. Given how easy these games are, the fact it was actually difficult to finish was a really bad sign. If there was ever a game that desperately needed a "install to HDD from disc" option.

NotAFoxAnymore Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thank fuck for that. I love TTG, I think they work well as linear stories, but I always hated that engine. Now make Poker Night 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Finally, now TellTale only needs to announce a season 2 for The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obscure_Ale Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Glad to see them improving the engine but Batman... I love all telltales stuff but I can't stand Batman so this is unfortunate for me Hope we hear about other stuff from Telltale soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffyZorugelion Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Couldn't even play Tales From The Borderlands on PS3. It crashed after 5 minutes of gameplay everytime. Wolf Amoung Us had some serious freezing problems as well. About damn time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im-Xero Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Nah. I really enjoyed how fucking borked Game of Thrones was. TellTale only puts out immaculate software. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Their old engine was pretty bad. It used way too much resources for the simple games they made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo_eyes Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Took them long enough, their games have been running and looking like arse for quite a while now. And can they please get on with The Walking Dead S3? After that incredible ending I really want to see what happens next with Clem. I think you're going to have to wait on that one. Before "Michonne" ends, nothing else will be released.by them. My guess is,Autumn this year, so they can alternate between Batman and WD season 3. Just like they did with Tales and GoT.

yellowwindow7 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 you guys who's saying Tt games run poorly on ps3, I was just wondering.... is it the physical version you are taking about? because all the Tt games I played was the digital version and had no problem with them at all, except sam and max: the devil playhouse the penal zone, that game was the actual poorly optimized Telltale game on ps3. it run below 30FPS, lag everywhere, control may get some delays, but still never crushed my ps3 or even frozen.

I haven't own a physical game by Telltale buttheir digital games are so horrible to play that my opinion of Telltale made me changed so much of how my save file got corrupted for Michonie, and how god awful Gane Of Thrones was including the final episode of Tales From The Borderlands. Don't even believe jack if they will fix their engine on ps3 where I won't pay attention to this game until they ever fix it.To answer your question, I bet it has the same problem as well if you own a retail copy of their own games Edited August 1, 2016 by Superstarmaste1r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question, I bet it has the same problem as well if you own a retail copy of their own games as far as I know Michonie and especially Game of Thrones is Telltale's most buggiest games ever created, even PC users are complaining about the performance of Game of Thrones which had sounds get cut at some places, game crashes a countless of times, framerate are still gets a nose dive here and there. in Tales from Borderlands most people complain about episode 5 and I can see why, there's a lot's of loading screen on that episode, not sure about the current gen and PC version but when I was playing it on ps3 the ps3 version got some lagging here and there due to the auto save, especially in the final fight which hade a lot's of checkpoints as if that episode been cut into a tiny parts and each part had its own loading screen and checkpoint and the loading for some reason unknown could be so long! I believe the game only frozed on me once while I was finishing it exactly on that final fight, but when I rebooted it it never froze again.

MMDE Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Most of their games usually run a lot better on PS4 than PS3, but the PS3 games run like shit. I'm saying this as someone who has played most of their games on PS3 and PS4. Edited August 1, 2016 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdizzle0420 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 It looked and ran amazing on PS4. The real test will be playing it again on PS3 when it comes out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
