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.
Telltale Games
Company »
A company well-known for their popularization of the episodic release format and influence on the adventure game genre. Following massive layoffs in September 2018, the Telltale brand is now operated by LCG Entertainment.
Telltale wanted to make a Scott Pilgrim game, O'Malley says no.
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.
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

Honestly I wanted to claw my eyeballs and ears out while I was watching it.
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.
" @NekuSakuraba: Love the comics. Movie was like yeah whatever. Game wasn't worth it. "What wasn't worth it? River City Ransom?
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." @Snapstacle said:

@Enigma777: Did you watch the wrong movie?

It's definitely how I feel about the franchise. Maybe I would've been interested years ago, but I'm certainty not now.
@NekuSakuraba said: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.

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.

" @BeachThunderHm, 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 =/@NekuSakuraba said:You do know most people who liked it were 20 or older?

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.
