The distance between my tv and my computer isn't nearly as long as you're proposing but I am running a 25 ft. hdmi cable to my tv and it works fine with no issues of any sort. For your other question the website Tested actually did a 2 part piece on this very subject matter.
I think they still own the license to the stuff you mentioned before so if they were to produce more of those license I couldn't see them apply this format to those games. As long as its not Jurassic Park's gameplay I'm cool with whatever.
I haven't played Jurassic Park so maybe I'm wrong, but isn't it nearly the exact same gameplay as The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us?
Nah, well kinda. Jurassic Park was more like Heavy Rain where every little thing your character does is action timed with a button prompt. For example, some parts of the game just required you to be sneaking which required you to gently tap the LB and RB button (xbox 360 controller) in rhythm. Where compared to walking dead all you had to do was push the stick forward and it will do it for you. They streamlined it better in games after Jurassic Park where the action prompts made more sense.
Before The Walking Dead Season 1 came out, Telltale were all about classic point and click adventure games (Sam & Max, Strong bad, Monkey Island etc) but since the smash hit that was The Walking Dead they seem to be sticking to making games like it, heavily story focused, a lot of player decisions and not many traditional puzzles.
Now don't get me wrong, I love The Walking Dead, it's one of my favourite games this generation and while I haven't played The Wolf Among Us, it looks amazing as well.
The thing is, who will fill their shoes? Yes we have the double fine adventure game, but after that who will be the company to keep classic point and clicks going? Will Telltale ever go back to how they made games before?
I'm interested in your thoughts.
Videogames are INCREDIBLY trendy. (They don't "evolve"). So, anytime there is success, you find everyone lean hard in that direction. I honestly think Telltale is going to experience what Bioware experienced. That is to say, Bioware was the darling of the games industry making one type of game that was very good. KOTOR, Jade Empire, Etc. Then Mass Effect 2 hit like a megaton and they went, "Okay! Everybody lean hard in this direction!" and it blew up in their face with Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3. Now they're trying to backpedal. I think Telltale will experience a similar blowback as people get tired of the formula of The Walking Dead toward the end of Season 2/at the end of The Wolf Unleashed.
I thought Dragon Age 2 blow back was due to the gameplay not being traditional D&D type stuff. While Mass Effect 3 was due to the ending.
I think they still own the license to the stuff you mentioned before so if they were to produce more of those license I couldn't see them apply this format to those games. As long as its not Jurassic Park's gameplay I'm cool with whatever.
No issues. I'm actually more surprised I didn't have issues because during season 1 I had the issue of saves not appearing during an initial load up. What I had to do was start a game and then exiting back to the main menu in order for my original save files to appear.
