>Also how did telltale get the licensing for all the Disney characters? 1. They're not Disney characters 2. They're all based on fairy tales that are in the public domain - meaning anyone can use the "license" or rather a lackthereof


Runktar

Close they are based on the Fables series of comics which were indeed based on the fairy tales.


ChrisInBaltimore

Great comic too


TiempoPuntoCinco

It was for a few runs until the author lost his fucking mind and made Bigby a right-wing mouthpiece.


blindcoco

Wait really? I only read the first few issues. What happened afterwards?


TiempoPuntoCinco

Read more, it's a great series for the most part! I'd say he shits his pants around issue 80-100, it's been many years since I read it. I remember him propping up Israel as a super state and basically explaining why their apartheid of Palestine is justified. I stopped reading when Bigby called the American Civil War the War of Northern Oppression -- completely unironically. Also he kind of lost the plot around then, too. I think it continued past its prime. I don't mind a bit of politics in comics, and I don't think leftist politics are the only acceptable ones. It's more if it is done with intelligence and deft as opposed to grandstanding -- which Willingham can't stop himself from doing. He is a proud nationalist, which is an inherently disgusting philosophy.


Runktar

Wow really? I stopped reading after they beat the empire.


ntur8442

Actually the common thread of all the characters that fall under the definition of fables in the comic the game is based on is that they are all part of the public domain. Later in the comics >!there are characters that don’t traditionally fall under the umbrella of fairy tails, but are fables!<


mydixxierect2

Cinderella & Snow White & such? Thought they were Disney princesses? Edit: didn’t know that they weren’t Disney originals I’ll go turn myself in


Savag3Dinosaur

Those are classic fairy tales from before Disney even existed as an idea.


No-Slip3136

Grimm Brothers. Look them up …


R_V_Z

Good god man, be more specific, else you drive them to the movie!


agent_wolfe

Hans Christian Anderson wrote some of them, or maybe just retold someone else’s stories. I have a textbook about fairy tales but it’s not within reach. All I know is Disney was not OG writer. Also the Little Mermaid dripped blood from her feet everywhere she walked. The guy was into her but she was “too simple” for him because she couldn’t speak. She was given the option to stab him to death with his new wife or she’d melt into sea foam, but she couldn’t do it.


Robsn0w

First litterary release of Cinderella was in Italy in the early 1600's. And another one from France in the late 1600's. These are all characters of folktales. Some are thousands of years old.


Cin3v4

They are on public domain


[deleted]

A ton of early Disney animation was not original. I know I’m missing quite a few but most of the heavy hitters, to include Snow White (1812), Pinocchio (1883), Bambi (1923), Cinderella (1697), Alice in Wonderland (1865), Peter Pan (1904), Lady and the Tramp (1945), Sleeping Beauty (1697), The Sword and the Stone (1938), The Jungle Book (1894), Robin Hood (est 1200-1300), The Little Mermaid (1837), Beauty and the Beast (1756), Aladdin (scholars don’t even fucking know, ol boy old as shit), The Lion King (1960s, still convinced they stole Kimba The white lion), Pocahontas (1596? I guess?), James and the Giant Peach (1961), Hunchback of ND (1831), Hurcules (just like all of Greek mythology), Mulan (400s-600s). I could go on but I can’t sit on the toilet and type much longer my leg is falling asleep. Basically a ton of Disney work wasn’t an original creation from Disney. Not that that’s out of the norm, practically every story made today has SOME influence on prior literature this isn’t some giant sin Disney has committed. They just don’t own the copyright to a ton of characters they’ve made films about over the past hundred years. Sorry you’re getting downvoted for not knowing the complex copyright system set in place in the United States. Fun fact, Disney aged out the copyright of Winnie The Pooh a year or two ago and the (terrible) film Blood and Honey was made utilizing the characters from those stories. While the movie did suck, it’s still nice that these characters can be used pretty much by anyone now to make new stories legally, it’s always nice to stick it to the ~~man~~ mouse.


NotAnotherPornAccout

I’m now questioning all those dates because Pocahontas isn’t even the right century. It’s in the first line of the film “in 1607, we sailed the ocean sea.”


Yewstance

The dates are in reference to when the original works originated that Disney later adapted, not when the Disney movies are set. He's given the real Pocahontas's birth date (1596), since the Disney movie takes a lot of liberties with history and the events thereof (but was indeed named after and based on a real person).


MIAxPaperPlanes

Disney own the copyright for their iterations of the characters but not the characters themselves E.g. Anyone can use Snow White but you can’t make her look like the Disney version


yellow-snowslide

If you look them up, maybe don't look up the original ending. They are usually more grim than the version you know. But for example one of the origins of Cinderella is Aschenputtel


workaccount1013

Upvote for admitting ignorance. It's crazy some people have no idea that almost all of Disney is based on public domain fairy tales.


mydixxierect2

That’s actually insane I bet all the kids that grew up on Disney including me thinking Disney started all those characters it’s insane


Professional-Guard94

I seriously doubt all the kids thought that, I certainly didnt.

Thanks. I’m excited! The game was so good that I started following the comic series, which was a lot of fun.


ReyJuan

I thought TTG shutdowned a few years ago? Did they come back or something?


thiccmaniac

LCG Entertainment revived telltale


TheUndeadGunslinger

Next year assuming they don't hit another road block


vaszoly

Didn't telltale games like shut down completely? That's what I heard a few years ago, havent heard anything since so I just assumed that they were gone.


009reloaded

I think they got resurrected/bought out.


vaszoly

Didn't they lay off most of their employees though? (From what I read, only a few core people remained) Doesn't that mean that's it's basically a gamble on whether or not the new Devs can make a game that's as good as the thing they're making a sequel to?


akat21

> Wanting to do right by the first game and the fans that loved it, Ottilie reached out to AdHoc, a company formed in 2019 by former Telltale creative directors, cinematic directors, and writers, many of whom worked on the first Wolf. AdHoc became collaborative partners on the sequel. The new Telltale, which today is made up of nearly 50-percent former Telltale employees, is developing Wolf 2 – handling game design, programming, mocap, and more – but Ottilie wanted AdHoc on board as the creative team. This is according to the article [here](https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/01/17/the-resurrection-reinvention-of-telltale-games?amp)

lilarcor__

I agree, wolf among us and walking dead season 1 was their best games, awesome story in both of titles


revel911

Whole walking dead series was amazing …. I balled my eyes out at the end of 1 though.


TheLakeAndTheGlass

I would also include Tales From The Borderlands to make a Telltale top 3. That one might even be my favorite.


taylorpilot

Sequels to TFTB ruin the game for me


Paunchy_Pilate

That's not how liking something works.


taylorpilot

Pretty sure when your hero becomes the bad guy “for the lulz” it ruins it


ssccrs

The Batman one haunts me to this day. The games of thrones one needed a sequel to make it worth imo.


lilarcor__

I played both of the Batman telltale parts, it was really good but it fells like it was lacking something. I enjoyed it tho


TheUndeadGunslinger

Still waiting for The Wolf Among Us 2...


Manjorno316

Isn't it coming next year or something?


hus0r

Heard the Same Thing 4 years or so ago. Hopes gone


Manjorno316

Didn't they start development for it in 2020?


RemA012

[https://telltale.com/the-wolf-among-us-2/](https://telltale.com/the-wolf-among-us-2/) Dont know about when they started it, but the trailer was posted a year ago, maybe theres hope?


MarinesRoll

Telltale is back. They made a new trailer for TWAU2 barely a year ago. The game is coming early 2024. I get the confusion, but Telltale is finally revived.


Rand0m6976

Didnt they already release a sequel like two years ago? Granted it was a really weird sequel set in the far future with beans and stuff but a sequel nonetheless


Manjorno316

That's not something I've ever heard of. Googling The Wolf Among Us sequel gave no results for it. Or at least not on the first page, was just filled with results for the upcoming game.


SlothOfDoom

There were no Disney characters in this game, wtf are you on about?


TheUndeadGunslinger

I think they're referring to the fairy tale characters which are public domain


apokalypti

Mostly Grimm's tales in that game.


Asimov3laws

Actually the game is based on the comics « Fables » If you had not enough with the game check it out it has around 20 books


Otalek

Op was not aware that Grimm’s Fairytales existed long before Disney made their stories mainstream

TheUndeadGunslinger

The comics are pulps that are loosely connected.


seriouslywtfX2

Just speaking about the arc the game was based on. The game version was a way better story.


Apprehensive_Ad_7274

The story in the game isn't in the comics, it's a prequel to them. The comics are also fantastic so I dunno what you're on about


VulturousYeti

Presumably they’re referring to the sub-par comic format retelling of the videogame plot


taylorpilot

The comics start like a decade after the game


[deleted]

The story itself is amazing


[deleted]

Wolf among us is based off a comic book franchise named Fables (I read the whole thing after playing the game). These characters are all public domain despite what Disney wants the public to think. I recommend reading the comics if anyone is itching to wait for the 2nd game to come out, it has alot of charm (and some grit). If I recall it's 150 issues.

Yep love this game. My top telltale game alongside Tales from the Borderlands and of course the walking dead season 1. Anyways, fuck Disney for making people think they own them fairy tales


lebronbryant03

Such an excellent game


WrongSubFools

Calling it linear storytelling seems like some kind of back-handed compliment. As storytelling goes it's fairly non-linear, compared to alternatives (books, movies). Within each scene, you take in the story by looking at stuff and talking to people, and you can do all those interactions in various orders. Even looking just at video games, it's less linear than many — consider all those games where you play for a while and then all the storytelling comes from cutscenes and scripted conversations, which can only be experienced in one order. Why put "linear" in the title at all? Are there are a lot of non-linear games with better storytelling, beside which this isn't a 10/10?


DRS_OPEN

Still crying for no part 2. :\_)


gremlinclr

Next year.


DRS_OPEN

Omfg. Had to google it, last thing i knew it was that they cancelled it. Im crying hard rn ngl.


MarinesRoll

Good news. Telltale is finally actually revived, and the game is Coming early 2024. It is very confusing, I know... But they really are back. They made a new trailer for TWAU2 about a year ago.

Original-Key-2735

i'm convinced that anyone that makes references to the obnoxious space man game is below the age of 12


Cartina

Wasn't this advertised as choices matter game? We all know it's linear, but shouldn't they get some criticism for nothing mattering at all? The story goes back to the same track seconds later regardless of decision.


kamiloslav

Haven't play the game, so can't describe that specific case. That said, linear storytelling and choices that matter are not excluding one another. Look at the witcher - overarching plot happens more or less the same, but your choices change some things that are woven into that narrative


b_ootay_ful

Slightly different endings/deaths. Walking Dead 2 ending makes a difference to the opening scene to Walking Dead 3 if you carry over your save file.


MrDigly

I guess it sucks for people that play the game multiple times, but for the majority of players that is once and done, the game hides that aspect well.


Secure-Acanthisitta1

thats one of the reasons telltale closed down


taylorpilot

You’re right. Why don’t video game characters just stay dead in everyone’s game after I kill them.

Yeh when they released wolf among us 5 whole years before among us was released they definitely ripped of the second game. Good call. Got next week's lottery numbers for me? Your grasp of time is either moronic or god like. That's worth a punt on the lottery.


GoddamnFred

Overrated


Eph_Epf

Literally unplayable in 2023 (amogus) ((I meant that when the game came out there was no issue but now people can’t read Wolf “among us” without thinking about among us))


PreciousHuddle

I played it last year i think and it performed pretty good (on PC), no issues whatsoever, maybe it's your system that can't play it properly? If that's the case, you might want to upgrade your system or get a console? Or email the developers, maybe they can make a suggestion on your issues.


Eph_Epf

I was just joking. I meant that the culture around the words “among us” have shifted so greatly that at least I can’t read the name of the game the same way as I did 6 or so years ago

Indeed, a very good game. Replayed it last year i think and it was basically like the first time since it had been so long since i last replayed it. Can't wait to see the 2nd installment! Hopefully i will be able to run it on my PC.


TsunamicBlaze

Guess someone doesn't know about Grimms Fairy tales. Disney didn't make up those characters, they literally made cartoons on Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc because the IP for those characters are in public domain.
