Telltale hoping to push content to new consoles, handhelds & Macs

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Oct 20th 2009 at 8:30PM }

With more avenues now open between consumers and game creators than ever before, third-party companies like Telltale Games can sell their wares on every platform -- as long as their software runs on it. That's the tricky part, but Telltale CEO and co-founder Dan Connors has told Gamesindustry.biz that his team is already looking to take advantage of the "huge potential" out there.

"I definitely think there's huge potential there, and right now we're working on getting our content over to some more channels, over to new consoles and the Mac," Connors said. With any luck, PlayStation 3 will be caught in Telltale's wider net -- it's the only current home console that has yet to be visited by a talking dog, a hyper-kinetic rabbity thing ... or even a dog that doesn't talk but is still weirdly expressive.

Telltale's ambitions go further still, added Connors. "And after that's done, we're going to be looking at handhelds. I think we have to consider the PSP Go for sure."

Wow, really makes you realize how many separate gaming platforms there are out there and regards to exclusivity. Everybody wants every game on their own platform.

But these aren't just games, they're a genre that the PlayStation 3 has yet to receive, I'm hoping that LucasArts & Revolution Games with follow suite with Secret of Monkey Island:SE and Broken Sword:DC respectively.

I thought for a second that her arms looked like that and I freaked out.

Looked like what?

I though her dress didn't had sleeves so I saw the arms as deformed.

Heh, I didn't even realize it was a woman. Between her pop-eye like arms and her sideburns, looks like a sailor or something....

Considering the PSPGo seems to have been a dud (on that site with the story, there's an article about it only selling around 1000 units in Australia), I think that's not the best of plans.

Hope they do, as a PSP (regular) owner, but still...
