I'm sorry but what the hell? Watching the trailer, it's clearly just a 15 second spot showing the characters involved in the game. Those excited about it are going off Telltale's previous games which are critically acclaimed adventure titles. How did you even make an evaluation of the game design document off that?
It's getting increasingly frustrating to read your posts as you seem to think you have a more important opinion of these as someone who develops games even though I haven't seen a single clue as to what titles you have under your belt.
Why exactly are you getting frustrated over my posts? Have I said anything blatantly incorrect, or just things you disagree with?
Four totally unrelated characters, two of which aren't even video games characters. I can guarantee you the pitch was "Hey, we have the rights to these four popular internet characters," and the producer said, "stop, do it". And if it somehow it ended being an amazing game then I would eat my words. But oh look, it's Poker. Why did you wait until the anticlimactic reveal one month after my post to contradict me when I was right? That should speak for itself.
You're not entitled to know the details of my work just because I say I'm a game designer. I get so sick and tired of people riding my ass for that anywhere I go online, of course you don't know what I've done. Other people here do, people I've talked to privately who have asked politely know the nature of my work, I am not going to post my resume just because someone felt they had to assert their superiority when talking about their hobby.
I haven't looked down on any of your posts involving video games, I haven't ever said anything to the nature of "I'm right because I make games". I
have said when talking about collectible card games that if you haven't made a whole set you don't know the kind of work it takes, and I can tell you exactly what kind. ~144 cards can be designed in a week without doing anything else. That's framework, rough draft, proofreading, then all the little things like flavor and secondary design elements. That doesn't include graphic design, which if I'm doing will take about three days. I say that people underestimate the work it takes because I know from experience, and I've used that argument to in job interviews before. Now if I were you, I'd really take a good look at my video game related posts and ask yourself if I've really been telling other people that my opinion was more important, or if I've just been assertive and knowledgeable just enough to rub you the wrong way when you happened to have a different opinion.
