Telltale's The Walking Dead

[ProjectPat2280]

Seriously, as long as this doesn't end up like Jurassic Park.. I'll be happy.

You mean as long as one random dude doesnt take down 3 velociraptors at once with just a knife? Yea i agree.

Clever girl...

So I was reading about this game. It'll have 5 parts but you can purchase a group at a discounted price around 20 bucks. Anyone know how much each individual part will cost on its own?

I think that's kinda dumb, why not just drop it all at once? A video game released in 5 different parts? On different dates?

 

[Matt]

That's just how Telltale operates.

Will the episode pack be available at launch ?

Will the episode pack be available at launch ?

Prob not. At least it wasn't for Back to the Future.

As a fan of the comic is the TV show actually worth watching? I saw the first few episodes but had to move across country (Virginia to California) and haven't had the time really to catch up with the show.

I've read up to #60 in the comics. I actually like the show better than the comics.

After Jurassic Park, I'll wait for reviews or a demo of the game before planning on buying it. But it does seem promising from what I've seen, so I just hope it delivers.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Is this gonna be an XBLA title? Or a games on demand title? If its the former then it has to have a demo attached.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Yes, it'll be available on XBLA. Sadly, I don't think they're planning on releasing a demo for this game since Jurassic Park: The Game was also released on Xbox Live Arcade and that one didn't have a demo as well. But as I said before, I'm interested in the game but I'd be more interested in a demo first.

Scored high on the IGN review

Well ALL XBLA games come with a demo. Theres a difference between a game on demand vs an XBLA title. For instance I Am Alive is an Arcade title and has a demo attached. Resident Evil 4 HD is a GOD title and does not have a demo. Thats why i was wondering how this game will be classified.

 

[Wolfwood]

I'm giving away a copy of the Steam version of the Walking Dead if anyone's interested.

Oops, my bad. I just checked and yes, you're right. The game will get a demo on the Xbox 360 but it's still uncertain if the PS3 and PC will receive a similar treatment. Anyway, I like what I'm reading from IGN's review of the game. Got me thinking if I should buy the season pass.

New trailer.

More reviews has emerged.

Joystiq - 4/5

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 remains a great adaptation of Robert Kirkman's comic, one that isn't a chore to play and is genuinely absorbing across its two-hour entirety, even with its hiccups. Also, if you're looking for the most depressing dad sim on the planet, The Walking Dead: Episode 1 is for you.

Cinema Blend - 5/5

There’s always some suspicion when it comes to licensed games but Walking Dead doesn’t deserve paranoia. Telltale has managed to adapt the traditional adventure game model to perfectly fit the subject matter. If you’re a fan of the show or the comics, this game will satisfy your hunger for another tale in the Dead universe.

The Verge - 9/10

So many games have teased a truly "interactive" narrative, but I can think of none that have delivered this well.

Shacknews - N/A

Thanks to its focus on player choice and character relationships, The Walking Dead is more than just a great adaptation of a beloved property--it is easily one of Telltale's best games. After completing the first episode, I am now hooked, eagerly awaiting future episodes in the season

Okay, this pretty much seals the deal for me. I was skeptical at first but after many positive reviews, I think I'm going to buy the season pass.

 

[Jick]

Me too, but for how long will the season pass last?

 

[Tanin]

Me too, but for how long will the season pass last?

As far as I know the pass is simply the 5 episodes of the game bought at once and at a slight discount, so... 5 months. One month per episode.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

When is this out for 360? I looked today but didn't see it.

 

[Havok83]

I hope this eventually makes its way free on PS Plus

Did Back to the Future and Jurrasic Park?

Did Back to the Future and Jurrasic Park?

The full series of BttF went free in January

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea then I wouldn't be surprised if this did at some point. I'd deff wait if I were a Plus member.
