    Telltale wanted to make a Scott Pilgrim game, O'Malley says no.

    So O'Malley the maker of Scott Pilgrim tweeted this -

    "Telltale wanted to do Scott Pilgrim but I said no. I couldn’t see it as an adventure game. All respect to them, though"

    This hurts, seeing as how much I love both Scott Pilgrim and Telltale seeing them both together would be amazing.

    A video game that's full of video game references would be almost as garbage as the film.

    Um...good. Telltale are already making 400 games. Perhaps they should start thinking of some IPs of their own.

    I love Telltale but can't say I'm very fond of Scott Pilgrim.  I'd prefer they kept working on classic franchises or simply made something original.

    Telltale could have probably dominated that shit, but I can't say I'm too torn up about it. The licenses they already have a hold of are far superior to Scott Pilgrim.

    A telltale game could have been interesting but I can't really see what they would do with the license.

    Maybe it's just me, but playing through the game once with a friend was "OK". Nothing more.
     
    I can't believe the over-hype that game got, and I can't believe you had to watch a 20min credits roll everytime you beat it. Maybe I'm just bitter because it was a pain in the ass to S-Rank. :P

    @NekuSakuraba: Nothing wrong with it, just not really my thing. And Telltale already has Jurassic Park, Walking Dead, Back to the Future and KING'S QUEST. Holy shit @ the last one.

    Forget the game, I can't believe that piece of shit movie got so much praise. Honestly I wanted to claw my eyeballs and ears out while I was watching it.

    I'd have been more curious than anything else to see how a traditional Telltale game would play around Scott Pilgrim.. 
    Also, movie rocked.

    I love scott pilgrim to death and this would have been awesome. I wasn't a fan of the beat em up game so much, but an adventure game would've been great.  
    They left a lot of awesome parts of the books out of the movie, an episodic game series would have been the perfect outlet to get all those parts in.

    Good. I kinda heavily disliked Scott Pilgrim (the movie and the game, haven't read the comics).

    FIFTEEN  BUCKS ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I played through it in one sitting with a friend and we decided never to come back to it. Five months later I buy the DLC and continued to curse my existence. I would rather pay for a complete anime/Adult Swim adaptation.

    Just out of interest, how old are you? Scott Pilgrim seems like something squarely targeted towards teenagers.My guess is that many of the people that didn't enjoy the movie (game...comics...) are probably a little too old to be interested. 
     
    It's definitely how I feel about the franchise. Maybe I would've been interested years ago, but I'm certainty not now.

    You do know most people who liked it were 20 or older? Look at Spill.com and Screened.com they liked it and they are all older than 20. Plus if it was aimed at teenagers as you said why would they add references to older games over newer ones? Not saying you can't like it, but I can't see how it was aimed at teens.

    The more I read about Telltale's future plans, the more of a joke they seem to be. They should really start on focusing more on making their products to a standard of quality rather than churning out as many games as possible. I couldn't envision Scott Pilgrim as an adventure game either and so I'm glad that they've declined Telltale the right to make one.

    It wasn't aimed at teens. It's a story about twenty-somethings and life after high school.

    Hm, well, I guess I retract my statement then. I haven't seen the movie or anything else Scott Pilgrim related. But everything I know about the franchise just comes across as incredibly juvenile =/

    @BeachThunder: There's a self deprecating irony to the whole thing that seemed to get lost in the transition from comic to everything else. I reckon it's perfectly justifiable to hate everything outside of the comics without that context.
     
    I always found the comics to be about how annoying those people who reference games/anime/manga/comics/"we're so indie" stuff are, but at the same time that self awareness made everyone quite likeable and funny.
     
    If this makes any sense at all.

    @BeachThunder: I think you're quite right. It IS incredibly juvenile and outright stupid in certain parts. There was no part of that movie I enjoyed (apart from maybe the Zelda theme) and I'm still kicking myself that I actually wasted money on it. Live and learn, I guess...
