A Cracking Good Adventure Series -- Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures - 07/28/08 09:56 PM

Inventor and canine companion to join Telltale's lineup in new episodic series, "Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures"

Quote:

The upcoming game series based on Aardman Animations' Wallace & Gromit franchise is joining Telltale's all-star lineup, which includes the award-winning Sam & Max series and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, debuting soon on WiiWare and PC.

"We've tested this on Gromit...haven't we, lad?

Quote:

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures will combine the rich and imaginative storytelling the quirky inventor and his faithful canine sidekick are known for with the critically-acclaimed writing, fun gameplay, and unique TV-style format Telltale has pioneered. Assuming the roles of both Wallace and Gromit, players will spend each episode exploring a vivid world, assembling intricate contraptions, and getting the duo out of the sticky situations they frequently find themselves in.

To see the new trailer, concept art, screenshots, etc., click here. The trailer looks quite clayish to me. What do you think?

Quote:

Telltale's new series is one of several upcoming Wallace & Gromit releases. Later this year, the characters will return to TV with an all-new and original Aardman short entitled "A Matter of Loaf and Death." DVD compilations of the duo's best shorts to date are also coming soon from Aardman.

I look forward to it! TellTale has not let me down yet, so I can't wait for this one. I hope they mean monthly episodes like Sam and Max.

I hope the Peter Sallis does the voice overs (even though he is 87 years old and probably deserves retirement).

There's an interesting interview with the Telltale team here at GameSpy. For Wallace & Gromit -- thumbprints on the digital models?

Wallace and Gromit is wonderful, if the game manages to encapsulate the quirkiness of both characters, we are on to a winner!!!!

I do hope Peter Sallis continues his role as Wallace, no-one else could quite pull it off
