FIRST EPISODE OF SAM & MAX: SEASON ONE DATED
Telltale Games has announced that the first installment of Sam & Max: Season One will be premiering exclusively on the Gametap service on October 17th with the downloadable version following on November 1st.
"Today we can definitively tell you that the wait is... well, not over, but, you know almost over. In a little over a month, on October 17, people in the United States can sign up for GameTap and play the pilot episode of Sam & Max: Season 1 in all its glory. And as of November 1, the episode will be available for purchase from Telltale's site for anyone and everyone who wants it. That's right, folks. Sam & Max are on the verge of taking over the world." -Telltale Games
Telltale is still determining how much they're going to charge for each episode, but they do promise they'll have an answer on that end soon. What they did reveal though, was a bit more information about the game's pilot episode, now entitled "Culture Shock";
"Those little red-and-white clad guys who have been creeping into the new screenshots? They're the Soda Poppers – former child stars who have been out of the TV scene since the seventies, and in and out of trouble almost as long. They're on the loose in Sam & Max's neighborhood, and it's up to our unscrupulous crime-fighters to figure out why. And we do mean unscrupulous. To get to the bottom of the ever-thickening plot, you'll have to throw heavy objects, hit people over the head, shoot stuff (in point & click style, of course!), and drive around like a maniac. Oh, and don't forget about faking mental illness and outsmarting a deviously clever bell-bottom-wearing foe. That's right, kids, we've got it all in Culture Shock. And this only the first episode!" - Telltale Games
I've been curious about the Gametap service for awhile now, and it seems to me that October 17th will be the perfect time to take them up on their free trial offer. I can't wait to see everyone's favorite dog and rabbity-thing team in action once again. Here's to hoping the game is not only worlds above Telltale's previous efforts with Bone, but that it sells well enough to show LucasArts the error of their ways.
