Before Telltale settled on Sam they had considered either Doc Brown or Marty McFly but realized they didn’t quite fit into a game that would contain swearing and gambling. Along with the four poker players, GLaDOS from Portal was added to the game as the dealer, while Borderlands’ Mad Moxxie tends to the bar that losing players adjourn to when they lose all their money and, after appearing as a player in the first game, Max shows up to root on Sam. and Ash from Evil Dead joining Claptrap from Borderlands and Sam from Sam & Max. That’s what made Poker Night so unique and so much fun.įor their next Poker Night outing, Telltale branched out into the world of film & television for their characters, with Brock Samson from The Venture Bros. While the idea of a poker game isn’t very interesting on its own to most players, adding in recognizable characters from different video game properties, all interacting with one another, is a really good way to draw people in. Telltale’s Poker Night at the Inventory was a surprise success for the studio, as they didn’t expect much from it due to it’s kind of “thrown together” nature while the developer was in a lull between games. Can we stop this trend already?Īge of Wonders 4 (PC/PS5/Series X|S) – Releases May 2 nd Oh, and fuck this trailer and it’s cliched cover of “Black Hole Sun”. This is a terrible look for Arkane, Bethesda, and Microsoft, and only puts more pressure on Starfield to justify Microsoft’s massive spending spree on developers a couple of years ago. Update (08:10am PT): The reviews are in and, my god, Redfall is shaping up to be one of the worst AAA games of 2023, even worse than Forspoken, which is at least kinda/sorta fun to play. If you are a Game Pass subscriber then I guess there’s no harm in checking this out, if you aren’t (or you don’t own a Series X or PC), well, maybe just skip this one until it’s on sale. Whatever Redfall eventually turns out to be, they’ve completely lost me due to the muddy messages and bizarre review embargo that lifts, like, 2 hours before the game’s official release. Is it a 4 player co-op shooter like Left 4 Dead? Is it a looter shooter like Borderlands? Is it a Ubisoft-esque open world FPS game like Far Cry? Is it a live service shooter like Destiny? Maybe it’s none of these and it’s exactly like Arkane Austin’s last game, Prey. The marketing around Redfall has not been very helpful in trying to determine what the game actually is.
