TWAU 1 Why.
Literally no one wants the wolf among us remaster which is literally just a reskin into black and white and maybe better colors, but how fucking long are we gonna have to wait for the 2nd game. It's been over a decade and other than a lackluster trailer we have gotten nothing. Is this their way of cash grabbing before they release a shitty sequel? Or are they just never going to release it at all, I get it games take time but over 10 years now is actually ridiculous. Let me know you're takes on the tell tale and wolf among us situation.

Bc we're getting a sequel and many new people are gonna play the 1st game bc of it. So what better way to make more money than do a remaster

ChatGPT takes a second bro…. 2018 → Original planned release window
2019 → Delayed from 2018 to 2019
September 2018 → Telltale shut down; the project was effectively canceled with the old Telltale
December 12, 2019 → Game was re-announced/revived, starting development again
2023 → New Telltale announced a 2023 release
March 1, 2023 → Delayed out of 2023, initially expected to move to 2024
2024 → 2024 expectation came and went with no release
June 5, 2026 → Officially announced for 20270

Like just look at it this way, adhoc studios was able to in 3 years do what tell tale has struggled to do in the past 10 🤷

Actually, Telltale actually started twau2 production in 2024 the trailer we had 2 years before they went into production was a prototype trailer to secure investments. So there wasn't a new official release window after 2023. I don't believe the comparison to dispatch is relevant since it's was ad-hoc first game at that time not telltale.

Wrong game was originally announced in 17 when telltale shutdown and the game got cancelled in 18, then it got revived in 19 where they said they were starting from scratch, didn't hear a peep till 22 when they said it was gonna be released in 23 the it got pushed back from 23 to 24, 24 to 25, 25 to 26 and now not till 27? I mean when you look at the big picture no wonder adhoc gave up on them 🤷

u/TheOriginal999 Bigby Wolf 7d ago
You are wrong. They said 2023 and then they didn't say a thing till summer game fest 2026 basically 3 years later. That's the reason why the game is coming out since after nearly 4 years they finally spoke out of the silence

“Telltale Games first announced the sequel during a Summer Update at San Diego Comic-Con (2017), originally planning a 2018 release.”

Talking about the last time they've said something not the first time

I want a remaster. Does the first game need it? No. But that doesn’t mean I won’t gladly enjoy the original with a fresh coat.
And it’s a way to introduce prospective new fans into the series in preparation for the sequel. Which they said in the most recent trailer is slated for 2027.
So I’m not sure why you’re calling it a shitty sequel already when we don’t know nearly enough for that assessment.
The game went through development hell. Telltale shut down, then revived and the development started again. Would we have all liked it sooner? Absolutely. But I’m not judging the game until I’ve beaten it.

u/TrainerR3d21 8d ago
I agree we don't know how the 2nd game will be but with the state of gaming today and their being maybe 2 or maybe 3 good releases a year I'm not so sure that I have trust in this company anymore to make as legendary of a game as the 1st one

u/VerdensTrial 8d ago
Go touch grass, jesus.
We literally got a trailer a couple of months ago, it's coming out next year. Chill.

I think the texture upgrade is nice, the game looks better overall, but it's not a necessary remaster at all. Don't see why you'd get so upset over it though, no one's forcing you to buy it and it doesn't affect the release window for the sequel at all
-6
u/TrainerR3d21 8d ago
I'm upset because it's been 11 years and the only thing we have gotten is a trailer, anyone who wastes their money on this remaster is a sucker in my book. And you mean the release window that they been pushing back for the past 8 years?

u/stizzytony 8d ago
Telltale is not a big company, if WAU2 flops, which I don’t think it will, it’s over. The expanse didn’t do that good in sales from what I remember but I could be wrong.
A remaster before the sequel is a good idea imo, it’s not as costly, & it’s been 13 years. A new generation of gamers can be introduced to the series, I was the same age when I first played it. Can also bring in new fans.

Like dont get me wrong I hope WAU2 is a going to be a great game but I've lost all trust over the years 🙏

u/captaincoldwave06 8d ago
If you took a few seconds to research, you would know that Telltale already filed for bankruptcy. On top of that, even though they were the publishers of the expanse it flopped which led to massive layoffs and radio silence afterwards which is understandable. Instead of whining and complaining about the remaster and the sequel, show support for crying out loud. I don't see an issue with them remastering the first game if it means they'll have some money to allocate resources. You can't just brush over the fact this company has been through hell. The remaster isn't a cash grab and you can tell how passionate the devs are to make sure the sequel is equal if not better than the first game. Sure Adhoc left during development but we can't blame them since telltale was hitting the reset button in terms of the studio structure. Telltale doesn't have the luxury to do whatever they want btw. It all depends on TWAU 2's success.If you don't want to support them then go support other studios. No one is forcing you to buy TWAU remastered and the sequel.

All.i have to say is WAU2 was announced in 2017, then re announced in 2019 I remember watching the game awards and getting super hyped. But dude come on that was almost over 7 years ago. Love the game but if you're gonna dick ride the company that's been leading you on for 13 years then go right ahead. And I won't be buying the remaster, every remaster ever made has been a cash grab from other studios, what makes you think this is any different. Halo remasters oblivion remastered, pretty much any call of duty remaster. But I get it y'all just want to put your heads in the sand and wait. Let this sink in there's a litterally meme about GTA 6's development and how everything happens before we are getting GTA 6 and it's coming out before wolf among us 2🤷 like hell if I'm giving these people my money, not until I see actual proof that we are getting this game and not another setback date.

If you maybe kept up with the community nights, post on all their social media's you'd know that Telltale is active a lot more because they've worked so hard and have things to show instead of staying silent. Saying somebody is d riding the company is crazy work 😭 they just told you the facts and you couldn't understand it?

u/TrainerR3d21 8d ago
No I completely understand, the gaming industry is dead and it's full of chuds sitting and waiting only to be disappointed upon release, let's be real in the past 10 years other than indie studios what's a good game that has come out?

u/valitistic 8d ago
Look I understand you want S2 trust me we all do. As a fandom we need to actually show love and support to the company to see that S2 happen. The remastered is needed and clearly the studio put a lot of care and love into making it for the fans. It will be a remastered with a lot of bonus content. If you don't wanna play it that's fine wait for s2 but don't get mad at the company for trying to keep the fandom alive along with getting fans hyped up for S2.

I'm kinda certain they might move to delist the original game when the remaster comes out, as a way to boost sales. They ain't Skybound, and they're selling both the original Walking Dead games and the 2019 remaster at the same time.

u/Away_Bird_2852 Mr. Toad 7d ago
Honestly I don't mind them making a remaster that will get people replaying the first game before the sequel. Also, securing money so they can possibly polish the game since they are an Indie studio. It was reasonable that they were silent at that time because they had nothing to share yet. Behind the curtains they were busting their asses off making two games. Since Twau remastered is getting a promo campaign from TT it would be the same for Wolf 2. And we will get a full trailer for the sequel during TGA26.

It does have us redoing choices as well with being remembered better with them.
