The all-things-Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect thread

And lets not forget, the budget of Tesla Effect is higher than what they got from the Kickstarter, they already had some money in the bank to add to the budget.

Not a ton though. The total is pretty comparable to Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded, and you want to talk about a stark contrast in scope and production value let’s start there…

It’s pretty staggering how far Big Finish has stretched their budget and I suspect a lot of that has to do with not really paying themselves that much. You can tell this is a true passion project for everyone involved.

I’m tempted to buy the game a second time to get the soundtrack pre-order bonus…

If you’re a backer (above 30$ I think) the soundtrack is available in the Mutant League download section

Yeah just found that out by browsing through previous blog entries!

Now my new dilemma is whether I listen to the soundtrack before playing the game or go in fresh…

So the Big Finish guys just announced that they decided to move the release date to the 7th of May, for polishing reasons.
A bit sad, as I was pumped up for next Tuesday, but thankfully I got stuff to keep me occupied until then.

What , what , really…

Oh well, probably more polishing is needed so it’s for the best.

I was never a big Tex Murphy fan before (more due to lack of exposure), but I am now. Tesla Effect has in spades what Larry Reloaded didn’t quite manage to deliver much of: FUN. And I say this as a loyal Larry fan.

I have been very impressed by how Big Finish Games blended the FMV with the computer generated environment. It just works.

Hope they make more after this one.

The worst part of this delay is now it’s on a Wednesday instead of Tuesday, my only day off, which basically means I have to wait another week to play it.

But launching before they’re ready does no one any favors. I think the last minute delay Replay did for Larry was a good call and it’s probably the right thing here too, especially in light of some of the compatibility issues they’ve been having with the video filter (green screen bug).

I´m a really excited to play Tesla Effect. After waiting 16 years. The last one (Overseer) was launched in 1998. A long time. I hope that the series continues after the sucess of Tesla Effect.  Smile

I remember that some people who played beta said that the game has some bugs, so that must be the reason for delay, and that is a good thing. Two more weeks isn´t a long time and the more polished the game is the happier we will be while playing it. With Moebius, BS5 and Blackwell Epiphany all being released within a week we can´t complain that we don´t have anything to play.
