Telltale Games now
offers a gameplay trailer showing off the upcoming Season Two for the Sam & Max
series of episodic games. In addition to the new cinematic trailer, they offer a
new selection of screenshots and some "scintillating" facts. Here's word on what
will be new in Season Two, which does not yet have a set release schedule:
So, what's new?
You mean apart from the slew of new characters and stories brimming --
overflowing even -- from the idea pot that is Season Two (possibly staining our
new carpet in the process)? How about...
Changes to all the recurring locations, and a few brand new ones! More lively
NPCs who move around the world instead of standing rooted to one spot like
pieces of furniture! Even more bizarre scenarios that will take Sam & Max from
the arctic to the tropics and beyond! All-new, unique mini-games in every
episode! Characters who pipe up of their own accord with useful information if
they think you're stuck!* Updated driving game with improved controls and the
ability to upgrade your DeSoto! ... Flint Paper!
Also, Sam can run now if you want him to, and the games will finally support
those giant widescreen monitors the kids seem so crazy about these days.
*You smart guys who don't want hints can turn this one off.
