Topic: Tantalus is porting a AAA game to the Wii U

neat.

Only problem with Walking Dead...isn't it rated-M? Which Tantalus said the game wasn't?

I've heard that the Walking Dead games are supposed to be good (haven't played them), so...yeah. I'd play them.

Walking Dead would hardly qualify as the biggest project they've ever done, or whatever they said. That'd be significantly smaller than both Mass Effect and Deus Ex.

Depends how you look at them. Walking Dead is a huge franchise spanning across comic books, television and video games. Rarely Mass Effect and Deus Ex have comic books maybe a few full books, but not close to how massive Walking Dead is.

I think the walking dead would be an ideal tester of the Nintendo market for tell tale games and from a gamers point of view the ideal title.

Im pretty sure this is a pipe dream, but I really want the game that they're porting to be minecraft

Nope. You really think that's bigger than Mass Effect 3? Tantalus isn't working on that.

@Blast, depends on how you look at it.

In terms of gaming, ME3 would be the bigger project (in both scope and name identity), but as a franchise as a whole? The Walking Dead is much, much, bigger than Mass Effect in that regard, and to be fair their wording is vague enough to go either way.

Personally though, I still don't think it'll be TWD on the basis that they confirmed it won't be a Mature rated game (this may also mean it won't even be a Teen rated game, as they are an Australian developer, and in the Australian games classification system, their Mature is equivalent to our Teen).

Yeah well... I still believe Tantalus isn't working on that. Get ready for a Tales or Square Enix game like me.

The first season has a higher metacritic that either Mass Effect 3 or Human Revolution. Won more GOTY awards than either of them too.

@Peach64 I might be wrong but I didn't get the sense that's what they meant by biggest. They seemed to mean in terms of resources from what I'd read.

Looking back at the past thirty pages, I'd laugh if it does turn out to be The Walking Dead.

I think it is nigh on time to give up day dreaming about this mythical third party triple A game, seeing as the Wii U will soon be coming to a premature end. I say these words as a big fan of the Wii U; whatever this NX thing turns out to be, it is what Nintendo are putting all their effort into, here henceforth.

Yeah how do we know they just haven't cancelled whatever project this is. I mean it was announced like a year ago wasn't it? Back when people were thinking Zelda and Smash would make the Wii U a hit.

Played the first season on PS3. Enjoyed it, but not really dying to experience it again.

Telltale games tend to really only offer you an illusion of choice, giving you different dialogue options that tweak how characters interact with you, but make no difference to the overall story. You're basically on plot rails. Your choices don't matter.

Could Capcom behind this???

@Blast: I suppose it could possibly be Okami. It IS a pretty big game after all.

A game that has been released on the PlayStation 2, Wii, PlayStation 3 (in HD) and is openly available to play on the Wii U via backwards compatibility?

I don't think so, and it is isn't a 'big game' in any shape or form, even though it is a very well received one.

Whatever doooood. 30 pages of speculation based on a few comments by a developer sounds pretty normal to me.....

@Peek-a-boo: An HD rework that allows you to draw on the GamePad as opposed to using the Wiimote sounds pretty worthwhile to me. Not saying that I believe that's what this is, but I wouldn't rule it out.
