1. Get The Balance Right Between Choices & Linearity
Regardless of anything you did in The Walking Dead's first season, it was an elaborate puppet show, because all roads lead to a specific finale anyway. It's this realisation that - for some fans - dissuaded them from playing it again or any of the studio's sequels, because when that element of choice and consequence is just an illusion, it can be pretty off-putting. In Batman's world it's highly unlikely he gets anything categorically wrong, but if Telltale could put together a script that would account for any choice you made and ran with, by revealing the true nature of it all near the very end, that would make for far more replay value in the long run. Because if there's one thing that identifies each and every one of their products, it's that we play through them once, and never again. Most of the time it's down to progress carrying over from one episode to the next, but even with that in mind, having the incentive to go back and alter your path, discovering different content, enemies and villains along the way, would help distinguish this game from Telltale's past efforts. What do you make of the announcement? Let us know in the comments how you'd make the perfect Telltale Batman game!
