Telltale's The Walking Dead

[zenith16]

Well,

Spoiler

Turns out there was no harm no foul. The promotional material was very much a red herring

My thoughts on the finale...

Spoiler

I enjoyed it. Honestly, I think this is the best gaming franchise on the market at the moment, at least in terms of depth and characterization. You really do start to feel for the characters and place yourself in that of the player character. It leads to an emotional, compelling experience.

After the finale, I liked the choice to use Javi as a protagonist with Clem as a side character. It lets us explore Clem in a new way while also building a bond for a new character.

That said, I hope Javi is not revisited next season, beyond a supporting role. He got his happy ending (or whatever ending the player gave him). Let him keep that. If he has a smaller role, Telltale can account for the variables. But I don't want a season opener where, as was the case with Kenny/Jane and Christa/Omid its like "Uhh, so there are a bunch of variable endings...lets kill all the characters in the opening scene to equalize things." By keeping Javi in Richmond, we can avoid that.

So what ending did everyone get?

Spoiler

I went to plug the wall with Kate, after refusing to fight David once I confessed to being with Kate. This led to Clem going after David and Gabe (I loved Clem's role as Javi's wingman btw. Their splitting up was great, because by that point they had a mutual trust and could rely on one another to get the jobs done). David died off screen but Clem saved Gabe. Kate and Javi decided to remain in Richmond and start a family. Javi agreed to lead Richmond.

It was a uncharacteristically happy ending, but I liked it.

One thing I really dug is that there is no way to get closure on everything. I don't know what happened to Joan (because of choices I made in episode 4, apparently). And no matter what you route pick during the climax, you will miss something. Either David dies off screen or Kate dies/disappears off screen. There is no tidy bow. I like that. It really makes the choices matter.

Good I'm happy to hear it's mislead. as I said I wouldn't do that. I'm a bit behind on this game in that I didn't play the dlc before this one yet.

I can't believe Telltale is ending The Walking Dead. It is easily their most popular series and is the type of thing that can go on in perpetuity. As such, I am skeptical that this is truly the end of Telltale and The Walking Dead's relationship. I suspect this is the end of Clem's story but there may be a spinoff or something along those lines.

I am hyped to play as Clem again. But hopefully Javi pops up. Richmond should be Clem's go-to base of operations when she needs a rest from the road, so I really do hope we revisit him. I also wonder if we will get closure regarding some season 1 loose ends like Christa, Molly, and Lilly?

Walking Dead: Sirens. Girl Power!

I'm actually excited it's the last season. It gives them the chance to actually end Clem's story and move on to other projects, of which they have many. I wouldn't want the games to mirror the comic and TV show and keep going ad infinitum. With the show at least, the continuous length has not exactly made the narrative stronger.

True. I just hope TT's doesn't feel the need to kill Clem in the name of closing the door on her story. Death is a cheap, lazy, and predictable ending. Moreover, it is inconsistent with the journey that Clem has been on thus far. We've spent three seasons either playing as Clem or playing as a mentor of hers and influencing her development. The end goal has always been to turn Clem into a survivor. That has been her story arc. It would be unfortunate to let the player experience and shape her journey into the ultimate survivor, only to turn around and kill her off.

 

[Rodrigo90]

If her death is in part of the player's choice under a VERY strong narrative to support such a decision, then I'm all for that; example being in a sacrifice for AJ for whatever (solid) reason. That fits in line with what everyone in the past 3 seasons would've done and did do for her.

Yeah, I think I would be okay with it being player determinant, as perhaps there are some players who shaped Clem's story in a manner that makes death a viable outcome. I just don't want it to be something like what happened with Lee, where death is inevitable. I think that is unfitting for the character's arc as it has been laid out through most choices/paths for Clem. And I certainly don't want it as a plot device simply to close the door on sequels or as a feeling of necessity based on the "final season" billing.

Yeah, ending TWD completely doesn't seem believable at this stage.

Decent start to the final season! My files for the previous games were somehow wiped out so I couldnt load my perfect Clem but I dont think it made much of a difference.

A shame that all those employees lost their jobs due to bad management.

Report: Telltale Games hit with major layoffs, possibly shutting down [Update 2]
Published 12 hours ago. 207 comments.

"Skeleton crew" reportedly finishing The Walking Dead - The Final Season.

Telltale Games, developer of episodic adventure games such as The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Batman: The Enemy Within, has laid off a large number of its staff and may be shutting down, according to messages on social media, both private and public, and reports from Kotaku, Gamasutra, and The Verge.

The Verge reports that only 25 people are currently left at the studio. Kotaku’s source did not confirm how many people were still left at the studio, but said that the layoffs were widespread.

Freelance journalist Joe Parlock, who has written for Telegraph, Official PlayStation Magazine UK, and Polygon, corroborated on the reports, citing his own sources that a “skeleton crew” has been left at Telltale Games in order to finish The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – The Final Season. Everything else in development, including The Wolf Among Us: A Telltale Games Series Season 2, will reportedly be cancelled. Telltale Games’ publishing division, Telltale Publishing, is also said to be affected, meaning that the yesterday-announced console versions of Stranded Deep will no longer be published by the company.

Telltale Games has yet to release an official statement.

Update 5:40 p.m.: Telltale Games has issued the following statement:

Today, Telltale Games made the difficult decision to begin a majority studio closure following a year marked by insurmountable challenges. A majority of the company’s employees were dismissed earlier this morning, with a small group of 25 employees staying on the fulfill the company’s obligations to its board and partners. CEO Pete Hawley issued the following statement:

“It’s been an incredibly difficult year for Telltale as we worked to set the company on a new course. Unfortunately, we ran out of time trying to get there. We released some of our best content this year and received a tremendous amount of positive feedback, but ultimately, that did not translate to sales. With a heavy heart, we watch our friends leave today to spread our brand of storytelling across the games industry.”

Telltale will issue further comments regarding its product portfolio in the coming weeks.

Update 8:30 p.m.: USgamer is reporting that sources have told us that the crew of 25 left over at Telltale Games will be working on the Minecraft Story Mode project for Netflix, and The Walking Dead – The Final Season will not be completed.

Telltale has become one of my favorite game studios lately, this is just incredibly sad news to hear, I was hugely looking forward to some of their future releases. It's disappointing their games never got the popularity they deserved,
