Tf2 Poker Night At The Inventory References

Īnthony Gallegos from IGN gave the game a 7.5 out of 10. To help make the play more personable, they needed to have a dealer for the table, and GLaDOS was considered an obvious fit. Similarly, characters from The Walking Dead series would not be a thematic fit for the poker title, as it would make people emotional about the game. They had considered using either Marty or Doc Brown from the Back to the Future game but realized that they would not be appropriate in a game with mature spoken content. The final spot at the table was to be left open for a character from a Telltale game, eventually resulting in Sam. Gearbox Software, the creators of Borderlands, appreciated the first game, and allowed the Claptrap character to be used. Similarly, Allison stated that Cartoon Network readily agreed to the inclusion of Brock from Venture Bros., one of the Telltale team's first selections. Allison had a good relationship with MGM Studios who were eager to offer characters, and was able to secure the character of Ash from Evil Dead, which also was timed well against the release of the 2013 remake.

Character selection was more direct than the first game, with Telltale wanting to bring in characters from movies and television.
