I agree 100%. I would gladly pay 30 bucks for this. But from what I have seen it looks like a poor mans heavy rain, and I refuse to cough up 60 bucks if that is what they were expecting.

I highly doubt that it will be 60. If it is 60 I would just wait till it drops its price.

I think it's a good they've pushed the games back, that early look we got at Jurassic Park looked really choppy and unpolished.

Just give me BTTF Episode 4 already!

edit: Wait a second... episode 4 is straight up missing from my steam list of All Games, but 1, 2, 3, and 5 are there.

I want a Trespasser remake. 

Then, it released a cyptic press release

Hmmm. Yeah. I'd rather have it as a download. 

Great news for me, I'll be picking up the 360 version at almost 100% certainty now.

Hmm. I never think to buy a Telltale game on disc.

Jurassic Park + Telltale adventure game + Xbox Achievements = A purchase by me

So the reason we are not playing the game now on PC is because they wanted to make it one big game instead of episodic for the consoles? Sigh...

If only we could get a crossover with Turok, Richard Attenborough playing the sidekick of course.

" Patrick you are so fucking on top of things, its cool to have news thats actually on time now. "

So it's delayed on all platforms until September and it'll arrive on disc 'later this year'. Given that Telltale likes to do one episode a month tops, does this mean that they are just going to work on it all summer and release it as a finished package on all platforms in September? Surely if the full disc with all of the episodes comes out this year, then they can't start the episodes on PC in September.

Telltale and the ever story driven adventure game.

I was right!

Well, it's got the Jurassic park name on it. "

Sounds good to me. This seems like the type of game that would be more fun to play on a big TV than on a monitor.

Physical copies of games? Madness!

They could only do this with the Jurassic Park name on the cover. The episode distribution suits them perfectly, be fascinating to see how the game does. Not that they don't deserve a bigger audience, do a great job.

It's a bummer that we have to hold onto our butts 'til fall, but I appreciate anyone delaying a title for added polish.

huh....well I'll get it either way but I always prefer XBLA to disc.

Again....When this xbox hits 88 miles per hour....

Can't wait for it

I've written about as many stories regarding Telltale Games this week as PlayStation Network, it feels. 

First, the company revealed Jurassic Park: The Game was being pushed back until this fall, citing the need for additional polish. Then, it released a cyptic press release about obtaining a publishing licensor agreement for Xbox 360--something Telltale would need to publish at retail. Today, we know why.

Jurassic Park: The Game will be arriving on a disc for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later this year. The whole season will be packed on the disc, which raises a few questions about Telltale's plans. Does this rule out a downloadable, episodic release through Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network? Presumably, the PC and Mac crowd will still have the opportunity to buy and play episode-to-episode.

I've asked Telltale to better clarify what's up with their console plans, and I'll update if I hear anything.
