release date?

moshr666 · 06-22-2009, 08:08 PM

anyone heard when this one is coming out?

Stifler4Life · 06-25-2009, 02:55 PM

I'd also like to know, but probably in a week or two.

IEvil IMonkey · 07-03-2009, 07:57 AM

A quick Google search has thrown a particular date up of 30th Sept which is 3months away!!! I hope this isnt the case as im looking forward to Last Resort myself and with the summer retail games drought just around the corner this would make an ideal release. Even if a little short, i really enjoyed part 1 and will most likely get the same amount of enjoyment from part 2-4 =) If any one hears different please let me know

i hope this isn't true

IEvil IMonkey · 07-05-2009, 09:02 PM

I hope its out sooner as 30th sept would suck!!!! Still, MI is out in a little under 2 wks so we'll get our point and click fix with that =)

Hugh Jass · 07-10-2009, 04:57 AM

so there will be 4 different episodes?

LittleBlondeTom · 07-10-2009, 05:42 PM

There were planned to be 4 and they are all out now on PC. Then I think because they were so popular on PC they are making two extra ones as well, but they haven't said anything about them yet.

Also, Live Arcade is defeating the point of episodic gaming by releasing episodes 1 and 2 so far apart! I thought there would be a new one each week after the first one came out!

General Boredom · 07-12-2009, 02:46 PM

It's most likely going to be sometime after the Summer of Arcade promotion which runs from July 22nd - August 19th, unless they release more than one game on any given week.

If it were up to Telltale, we'd get one episode a month like the PC version, but here we're at the mercy of Microsoft's extremely slow certification process.

Stifler4Life · 07-13-2009, 03:09 PM

I waited six months for Banjo-Tooie to be released I'll wait the summer for Wallace and Gromit.

IEvil IMonkey · 08-05-2009, 08:47 PM

Any more word on a release date here???
I know i googled it a while ago and it said end of Sept but i dont wanna wait THAT LONG!
Whats the point of doing episodes and then leaving SO much time inbetween them?

Royal Taco · 08-09-2009, 07:29 AM

This wait is killing me, just because they didn't wan't to include it in the summer of arcade line up we have to wait until september or later, great.

AOSKINS · 08-10-2009, 06:50 PM

I'm pretty bummed about the wait, but what about the price? Sam and Max had all the episodes at once, while W&G is going to be mighty expensive for the whole thing, boo!

More achievements, but at what price.

Stifler4Life · 08-14-2009, 07:47 PM

Sam and Max Seasons 1 & 2: 3200 MS Points (10 Episodes)

Wallace and Gromit Eps. 1, 2, 3, and 4. 3200 MS Points (4 Episodes with 4 chapters per episode)

You do the math for the more bang for your buck.

moshr666 · 09-07-2009, 06:28 AM

listening to majornelson podcast and he just said that episode 2 comes out 09.09.09 priced 800 points

IEvil IMonkey · 09-07-2009, 07:04 PM

About f**kin time is all I can say!!! Might get all 4eps out by Easter at this rate!! Roll on Wednesday =)

You're forgetting the fact that the first season of Sam & Max already dates back to 2007, when it was first released on PC. Wallace & Grommit is a new franchise, so it's quite normal that it costs more really

The upcoming (new) Monkey Island episodes will definitely not cost anything less than 800 MS Points either.

moshr666 · 09-08-2009, 09:37 PM

majornelson has just tweeted that wallace and gromit has been cancelled and will not be released on the morrow. no ETA either

knew it was too good to be true

IEvil IMonkey · 09-09-2009, 12:02 AM

What a crock of s**t!!!! This is getting WAY beyond a joke now... episodic releases my arse!!

FOX-Inc. · 09-09-2009, 03:25 PM

What is is a 'future TBD date' supposed to mean anyway? I know what the abbreviation stands for, but it could take months again before we hear anything about it...

Thank you, Microsoft and whoever that Major Nelson dude is, for giving us such wonderfully detailed information...

WrottenSandwich · 09-09-2009, 04:47 PM

That sux ~ I was looking forward to playing this today....

General Boredom · 09-09-2009, 05:39 PM

It means MS would rather release garbage like Yo Ho Kablammo that nobody buys instead of quality games like Wallace and Gromit.

This whole situation is infuriating me beyond belief. I love Telltale, and I understand this release debacle is (most likely) completely out of their hands, but this is getting beyond rediculous. I'm definitely reconsidering buying any more of their XBLA releases in the future if this bullshit keeps up.

Oh yeah, I noticed the achievements for Sam & Max season 2 are up, but I'm just going to go ahead and assume that it won't come out until 2011 at the earliest.

Oh well, at least I have The Beatles: Rock Band and Sonic & Knuckles to keep me busy this week.

Royal Taco · 09-09-2009, 06:54 PM

damnnn ittt!

AOSKINS · 09-21-2009, 05:50 PM

This really chaps my ass, I hope they don't give up on this series!

IEvil IMonkey · 09-24-2009, 12:14 AM

Its gone awfully quiet on this........... think we best all just give up on seein the other 3 eps.... thanks alot MICROSHAFT!!!

F Swan · 09-24-2009, 05:04 PM

Wouldn't be so bad if we knew or not if it was eventually coming out.

AOSKINS · 09-28-2009, 05:22 PM

Any word yet, starting to get pissed!

IEvil IMonkey · 09-29-2009, 04:01 PM

Latest news.......... Microshaft hate us and dont want us to enjoy ourselves with this series!!

F Swan · 09-30-2009, 12:08 AM

I found this

http://www.destructoid.com/xbla-vers...d-148071.phtml

Posted on the 9th but I hadn't heard this before.

Update: A Telltale Games representative got back to us. "It was just a matter of miscommunication," the spokeperson told Destructoid. "We've got some special stuff in store for the game, and want to plan the timing of the launch around those initiatives. Rest assured that the game will be out on XBLA

IEvil IMonkey · 10-04-2009, 02:10 PM

I'll believe it when i see it on the DASH now.... they're really takin' the biscuit with this!!

Terrin · 10-04-2009, 11:20 PM

Something special...ill believe it when I see it, I mean honestlty been about 4 months, I really starting to hate all games doing episode downloads on xbla
